Hi! Correct me if I'm wrong, and I hope you don't get offended, but this is actually yours? I've seen it on tumblr and it appears to be made by this girl (or so she claims so). Could it be that she took credit for it? I didn't want to write anything but I think you're a man, according to this post of yours, as well as this one from the pictures of yourself? Again, sorry if I'm intruding or if I'm mistaken, it's just that I had enjoyed that piece and totally thought it was from that girl, not to mention that I really enjoy this thread and the original artwork from artists here.
Maybe he thought this thread was about art/illustrations we like in general, instead of only original content.
Yes, that's my idea, too. I hope I didn't come of as an ass. I tried my best not to sound as such, and that's why I searched.

I recall seeing that skeleton girl pic on tumblr too
Oh yeah, sorry to come off like that. I didn't think this thread was all stuff we made until now, haha.
Yeah, sorry for the derail, I was just confused!

thanks so much guys. will be ordering some things tomorrow and keep you updated on how she likes them.
So am I starting to teach myself the basics of ZBrush. I have no background in sculpting, painting, or drawing other than high school art classes from over 15 years ago. I downloaded the ZBrush 4 trial and a bought a copy of Introducing ZBrush 4. It's a great guide. Anyway, the first exercise in the book is to create a dragon's head. I thought I would post my progress in here to keep myself motivated. So after about 3 hours I have two low poly concepts. One is a lesser/younger dragon, almost velociraptor-esque in appearance. The second is a greater/elder dragon. I like the idea that as dragons age they grow these prominent crests and their snouts and brows become more and more pronounced.
Anyhow... go lightly, like I said this is all completely new to me. Just the low polys at this point.

But the fence should overlap a bit more on those characters imo

This belongs in a museum.
But really, you made my day with that compliment. I have another piece at a members exhibition at the Rochester Contemporary Art Center, but I'm hoping to get more exposure in the coming years.

lol, Rochesterian, yeah i'll go with that.
It's an incredible piece man, I'm definitely gonna have take some time out this week to go see it in person.
Didn't spend a lot of time with the art project today, but I did get a bit of a feel for adding strips of clay to the model and then using a combination of the rake and smoothing tools to begin to texture the skin and bone. I am particularly digging how cross-hatching the rake toward the back edge of the crest created kind of a bony/spinal ridge effect.

Why?
I'm honestly not trying to be an asshole here. I don't like or dislike that piece of art, but..what makes you say this? I do not understand the appeal of that type of art, at all. It has no purpose, no subject, nothing. To me it's just seemingly random shapes and colors. Sure, the colors go together nicely in a "these colors are specifically meant to go together" kind of way, but beyond that...nothing.
I am not an art critic and it's not my place to say whether or not it belongs in a museum/gallery, but I do want to say that I find it to be very aesthetically pleasing. It has a flow and flourish to it that makes me think of a dancer.
Maybe you should study it then?

Sorry, I should have said "I do not understand the appeal of that type of art at all."
It's a valid question, and I would love to respond, but it will have to wait a couple of days before I have the time to explain the appeal to you and the steps you can take towards gaining an appreciation for it. I used to feel the same way about abstract art, but by mimicking the progress towards abstraction that happened during history (with the help of my excellent art teacher), I was able to see how we got here and what it's all really about.

If AP Art in HS didn't kill my will to spend time on stuff, I'd probably have stuff to share in this thread... I am reduced to doodles which would bring me shame if posted; compared to everyone else's work in here
C'mon, the more the merrier! We're all here to share and learn from each other. I am ashamed to post my drawings because I dislike most of them ._. It's a matter of sharing, and see if people can help you with your own flaws. That's what I like from this thread! If only it had more people participating, it'd be much more thrilling.If AP Art in HS didn't kill my will to spend time on stuff, I'd probably have stuff to share in this thread...

My latest fanart, not too happy with his hair!

I know it's not perfect, but my fiancé likes it a lot! I need to find a way to get better at the whole face composition though (and proportions, and composition by itself, colors, etc. =_=).
Goddamn this is awesome...

I can see that being something to add, yeah. I'll think about it! And beelzebozo, I'm working on a new site right so I won't link you there, but here's some stuff at my tumblr:

My work has only gotten this cool recently, so stay tuned for stuff better than that (hopefully).

Ohmygod you have the best tag ever ;_;
Yeah it was a great, 8 week long class. very happy with how it went (taught at a comic book shop too!)
Finished this the other day
Will have a few rough environment concepts for the INTERIOR of that huge structure in the distance soon.
http://galefire.com/2011/12/nexus-in-the-distance-enviro/
These were some of my roughs
Working on this now; trying to figure out which one to develop further. Probably far right.
Got a few more recent pieces at my blog, but my big weapon spread isn't finished yet (which is what I'm doing these weapon concepts for in the first place) : http://galefire.com/blog/

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but are there any good books or resources for learning how to draw (and paint too). I've taken some art classes in high school, but that was four years ago and I've forgotten a ton of stuff. I'd like to seriously get back into drawing, but I'm not sure what's a good way to start.

Thats a loooaaded question man, this thread might help you out though:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=402829
Well, to start, get a tablet and photoshop(or some other painting program), and start practicing. Also look around for the style of art you like, and look at that art a lot to focus yourself on a goal.
conceptart.org is a good resource as well, but don't count on the forum to make you better, you just have to practice, and keep practicing, and eventually you might get close to where you want to be.
What kind of art do you WANT to do?
you have an online store?
You have to!
Yeah, at http://ian-perera.fineartamerica.com/
If this is too commercial for NeoGAF, I'll remove the link. But, I can give NeoGAF members a 50% discount off of my cut of the sale - just quote this post.
Updated this guy a little, fills the space a bit better.

Next up I have some concepts for another large environment, and then refining that sword craziness.
