Its only fair we start a new art thread for a new GAF. I'll get the ball rolling with a picture I'm working on right now

It's not finished, but C&C welcome




Now get going and post your art, I don't care if it's drawings, photo or sculpture, it's all allowed here (except poetry, that's for pansies)

I drew it in like an hour with a regular #2, the scan was sooo faded so I darkened it to make it somewhat visible (scan 1&2) but then after I shrank the scan it was crappy so I also changed the contrast for the wallpaper to make everything visible. I got real lazy on the pigeons, haha.

Last time I drew something was maybe a couple dozen things when I was 11, and that was almost 10 years ago. Anyways, some artists I know have said I have good potential. I enjoyed doing it so I think I'm going to take an art class or two at our community college to explore my potential.

Your 3D is promising, but needs work


Yeah, I've still got alot to learn>_< There's never enough time in a day to work on it:(

I suspect you spline modeled your character?

I don't know what that is...? It was modeled out of a nurb ball.

Yours sesibilities will come through. (infact they are already) just work thropugh the turmoil. Try your hand at poly modeling as well (more like clay IMO) but your headed in the right direction


Sorry to be so vauge but what i meant is... just have fun by doing.
use some visual aid if you want a more realistic model (side and front i'm sure you already know this)
Strive to be exact with the likeness but you have room for error you'll be surprised how much texture comes into play.
 
Its nice to see some of your new stuff blacklion, each pic you do seems better than the last.

BTW any chance of some of your 3d work

Thanks for the kind words.
I'm still learning and finding "my style" Tho I still paint like a 10yr old.
I need improvement in that dept; it will help my over all composition and understanding of a scene, lighting and mood.

Since I'm on the subject...what type of wacom tablet fully utilizes painter or photoshop for that matter?
Tho my motto is "You'll pry my pencil from my cold dead hands!" One should know the benifits of technology.

BTW heres my latest 3D ...not much but i was happy with the result.

3d_01b.jpg

The poly limit was 800 polys mine came in oddly enough @ 777.
If I were to do it over....... I would change the edge loops in the crotch (angular loops instead of horizontal )for better deformation in the hip during animation. I'd also add or create a better edge loop across the chest for deformation @ the shoulders and under arm. But it aint bad fer 24 hrs total work... a start @ least. I'm brunt out on it tho...come back to it later.


Right now I'm doing some freelance work for a model shop.
I'm doing a 3d max model of a trailer and hitch that will be rapid prototyped and resin printed.
Not cool like modeling a creature of sorts but it's somthin I've always wanted to do.

BTW anybody here use Z brush?

Coming along well :) And don't worry, everyone starts out with malformed hands/feet. You'll probably spend alot of time when you're drawing desperately trying to figure out ways to hide them. :D (Pockets, behind the back, behind the head.) I still haven't got the hang of it. Just draw an entire page of hands feet, over and over. :) It helps.
 
Thanks for colirin my humble work Felidae_Khra, nice job.

I'll work on some more stuff for this thread.....wish I had a faster connection though...takes 10 mins+ just to see the whole thread...haha

Argh that's it, I'm wacoming up a new picture that isn't offensive right this damn minute.


I'll edit it into this post. Also Jiggle, I never got to reply to your PM with anything from the old GAF... If you still have some time I'll draw something up. I have atleast one drawing I'd want to see colored but it's hardly finished enough...

This one-

COMING SOON- WACOM DRAWING
 
Thanks for the comments :)

Lots of good new pics this time! Some of the 3D stuff makes me wish I knew how to do some of that.

Here's another sketch I finished a couple of minutes ago:

This one was for a creature thread at concepetart.org forums:

This is a collaboration with one of my buddies. He's suppose to color it after I'm done, so it's unfinished as you can see. Don't know where I'm going with the pic, so don't ask :)

I did try to draw with my wacom when I made that original post... but much like any time I try and draw somethign with it I get frustrated at its lack of precision and quit without saving my drawing...


Also I've drawn less in the past 3 years then I did in my last year of high school... I'm half tempted to buy some of those books wich give tips on drawing manga stuff but really I just need to relearn proportions...
 
Drew these awhile ago, I don't think I posted them in any other threads. I have a Griffith one as well, if someone wants to see that.
