This was a pencil drawing of Keifer from the Season 2 cover of 24. I took a low rez photo of the pencil drawing, then triplicated it in photoshop and adjusted levels and contrast.

This is a photomosaic I did as a present for my sister. It is of all her children, comprised of pictures of them taken over that year.

This is a white charcoal on black matte board of Ringwraiths. The original is about 50 inches wide or so.

I was working at Best Buy at the time, and I thought it would be funny for the day Matrix Revolutions came out to go dressed as the man himself, Agent Smith. Then I had someone from the DI department take pictures of me in different areas of the floor with a high MP camera. A little photoshop work later and there are the many clones of me.

This was a black and white charcoal piece. Supposed to be anyway. The teach told us to scan a image of our choosing, and use a crappy black and white copy to put on our canvas. But I used the image straight from national geographic, and was able to use the backround for something close to the image. Straight black and white lost the intensity.

Hey just though i would post my new online portfolio up for you guys to see.

I can't draw or do anything artsy for the life of me so I'm just going to comment on some of my favourites.

I've been experimenting more with coloring sans lineart. I've got more, but this is one of the less bizarre ones.

A woman being eaten by a vegetable or something is one of the less bizarre? I'd love to see some of your more out-there ones, then.

There's some nifty stuff all around! Here are my little contributions...

Playing around with my tablet and Photoshop:

Awesome.

nice! another art thread....here's the last two images I've done.

I love the colours in this one, and I particularly enjoy the simplicity of the background.

Nice work as always, folks.

Yeah, that's just great.

Much <3 for the classic GAF Art thread as always. The best part about these things is how we get such a variety of work. Sketches, paintings, 3d, sculpture, photos... I love it!

Heres what I've been working on. I'm part of a Half-Life 2 mod at my university, and I've been working on the main character for our game. Here's some of the concept art I did:

And here is how he came out:

:lol Does the boxing glove extend out as well? I love it.

did this in algebra
freehand
pen and pencil

Please colour this one, it's my favourite of the pieces you've posted so far.

Haven't picked up a pencil with the intention of actually drawing anything in a few months.

Just watched "The Incredibles" and was inspired this morning to start sketching big super dudes.

Anywho:

...

This guy makes me think of an angry version of the live-action The Tick, crossed with Captain America, crossed with a goat. In a word: cool.

I might pick up a pencil and try my hand at it, but I fear whatever I churn out is going to look like this Modojo Mr. Pants banner at the top of the page. Anyways, awesome work everyone.

DarthWoo's obssession with ball gags always creeps me out.

I can understand the asphyxiation stuff creeping people out, but why just ballgags?

 

[hometown unicorn]

Yeah Darth, your art's really creepy.

 

[MrCheez]

:lol Does the boxing glove extend out as well? I love it.

Thanks Actually it just shoots out like a rocket in the mod. The original idea was a classic looney tunes-esque spring-loaded glove or whatever... but it ended up being too complicated for us lazy students. =P



Anyway, check out what I just finished

This thread just won't die! There's lots of awesome stuff, I'll try to comment later! For now, here are a few more contributions:

Quick sketch for a character research/design...

Done a few weeks ago. It's a mix of acrylic, varnish, india ink and pastel on canvas and paper. (The paper is "woven" into the canvas). There's also a chemical transfer of pigmentation on the canvas. Not 100% satisfied, but there's a few things that are worth further exploration.

 

[sprsk]

heres some stuff i did at a friends wedding today

 

[Manabanana]

Here's a set of color illustrations I found in an Alice's Adventures in Wonderland book at an antique store. These are not mine, I just scanned them and hosted them on my site. They're the best illustrations for the book I've ever seen. There are some black and white ones too. While they are quite good, they're not as noteworthy as these colored illustrations. The illustrator's name is Arthur Rackham

Here's the link:

I love his depiction of the hatter:

Wow, I love the second one. Very creative and interesting, good job.

Well, it's got nudity again, so here's my latest work in link form only:

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/17787743/

Lakitu (the cloud-flying Koopa) takes Princess Daisy (the oft-neglected Princess of Sarasaland) for a pleasant fishing trip.

Some of y'all don't like bondage and gags, but screw it, I don't care. I drew this as an homage to another deviantART artist because he had gotten screwed out of some art trades. I liked what he had produced for his end of the dishonored bargains so much that I felt he should at least get something to look at. It turns out he liked it enough that he might even do a request from me. You owe it to yourselves to take a look at this guy's stuff, especially all y'all who liked that odd "Peach has got it" picture that kept getting posted a year or so ago.

Here are a few I did at work when I shouldve been working. ha

Great work by everyone!!!

 

[DM_Uselink]

(phoenix down)....

cool stuff everyone.

(Time to rebump this thread.)

It's just the avatar I now use at deviantART, but it showcases some of my better recent works, most of which I hadn't posted here either.

And it's not all hangings either.

Ok, so I hardly ever draw, and what I mean by that is that I drew a couple dozen pictures when I was a kid, then 9 years later I drew something (that was in Dec 2003) and then now I grabbed a pen and notebook and decided to draw something again, very randomly. I know it's something I could do well with practice, but I prefer music. So anyway I drew this today, it didn't take very long at all, in fact I got really lazy with the foreground and background. BTW the upper right corner is dark because I was trying to make it look like another tree behind it, didn't really work.

Then for kicks I colored it in Paint Shop Pro (my comptuer is too crappy for photoshop) which is something I also have no experience with. The stained glass window is why I wanted to color it, but it sticks out like a sore thumb because I used flood fill on it and hue to target for everything else. The color choices also kinda suck, very 5th grade, but I was having trouble with the hue to target. I should just use colored pencils next time.

I dunno, I prefer the B&W, even though you may not immediately know what's going on with the window. If anyone is good at coloring you can give it a shot, but it may be difficult with the drawing style.

Haven't posted in one of these threads in a while.

Here's a pic I did for N-Sider's Universe project. Drawn with pencil, scanned, traced and colored in Illustrator, effects and shading in Photoshop.

Another Universe pic. Big Boo was drawn with pencil first, then Illlustratored, effects in Photoshop. The BG was put together from a screenshot, Yoshi was traced from a sprite in Illustrator.

This is an idea I had for a scary looking Poe from Zelda 64. Pencil, inked and painted in Photoshop. This is the first time I inked something and digitally painted.

Here's my Deviant Art Gallery.

Wasn't trying to accomplish anything with this picture. I took it for a friend who needed pictures of the booth at work and I liked it.

 

[BooM235689]

I'm glad this thread is still going on.

I'll contribute this image I did for conceptart.org

this is an amazing picture and is now on my desktop

Guess I'll have to start using Photobucket since my school webspace probably isn't long for the world after graduation. Does anyone know of any free image hosts that don't mind adult content?

Anyway, since Photobucket doesn't particularly approve of adult content, I'll use what I can post there as a link to the images on my deviantART gallery:

- my most recent

- did this about a week or so ago, as part of another artists's competition based on one his original character in peril

 

[DarthWoo]

And another new one:

Yep, more gags and such, but whatever.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Ah - the hell with it. I managed to get my new art site on-line, and have been half heartedly working at getting it chock full of new shit. Don't have much time to color these days, and I honestly don't allocate enough time for drawing as is - between work, and fucking off on-line, not playing games, not reading my massive backlog of novels, boozing it up, and not watching DVD's. I waste entirely too much time on-line. I'm trying to change that with the hope that I can turn this into a profitable venture.

Here's an entry into a "Pick an anime character, and then drawing them beating up the other guy's character" contest. I made it to the second round by way of the guy in the first round not submitting anything. Which sucks. I knew about the deadline on this one for two weeks, and waiting until the last day - with just three hours to go; and then started on the fucking thing. Hur hur hur. So here's a half assed pick of Kenshiro vs. Vash:

Then I'm in this "Pick a game character, and then draw them beating up the other guy's character" contest. Won this one as well by default. Folks and deadlines just don't mix. I may run it down to the wire, but at least I give it the old college try - even if I ain't be gots no fancy pants college edumacation. Godhand vs. Lau:

Here's the first anime entry, Ken vs. Cowboy Bebop:

Sea Manky tells me my Spank Spiegel looks like an Air Master character. I guess that's better than looking like a Cowboy Bebop twat.

Here they said - draw yourself as if you were a Gorillaz character, I said okay:

This one I just felt like drawing after reading a bunch of Hellboy and remembering the good old days with Swamp Thing fighting vampires:

I did a shit job of coloring it. Not enough time. Sort of lost my touch with PS as well.

Failed entry for an album cover design contest. It appears actual creative ability wasn't required as the winner just took a photo, filtered it to look like a negative in Photoshop, and dropped some shit text in there with a True Type Font. You'll pardon me if I adhere to the Coop school of "FUCKING HAND LETTER THAT SHIT, BITCH!"

That's all for now. I've got a bug up my ass to do some character design for a web comic I've been kicking around for oh - five years now? There's no real impulse to get it done immediately, but the slow turning wheels in my brain have moved ever so slightly, leading to another Good Idea™. I reckon I'll put it to use. God knows, every other idiot has some kind of web comic, why not me?

Blah, blah - time for more booze with this medication. >:|

 

[Dagless M.D.]

Thats some cool shit The Take Out Bandit. Great line quality in your pics.

Here is the finished zombie I was working on earlier on in the thread. I finished him awhile ago, but i've only got to taking pictures now
