Post your art work.

[gavb]

I love to draw, I have just started doodling again and dug out all my old pictures and stuff, I think it would be cool to see some other people's stuff. I think I will just photograph some tonight and get them on the here. By art I mean everything, photography, sculpture and drawing/painting anything you like.

If you all think this is a bad idea though, we can let the thread die.

[mr mungbeen]

i love to draw too, unfortunately i don't really get the time and i don't have any of my drawings in an electronic format to post...

[Skymx99]

I like to do a lot of 3d work. I also make tracks for Motocross Madness 2. This isn't hand drawn, but it's art to me.

Great artwork everyone... I have only one picture that I could post, and it's almost beyond repair. :( I stick to instruments, that way you can't really see the mistakes... :)

I have a bunch of my GF's art on our website... Does that count? You guys want to see her stuff.

I've rec'd comments that it's 'wicked'. :_devil: ;) I just don't want to spam the thread....but she's an awesome artist.

[t_shirtsnjeans]

I drew this in high school for an 'art' project and I was so sick of art by this time that I drew this out of spite, and it stated "Save Our Burds", we had to use construction paper for each part instead of painting or using crayons (or whatever) and I just went stupid on this............and my art teacher asked if it could go on display in a local mall for the ecological whatever that was going on and I said "WHAT??? You serious? Sure, go ahead...." and she did, won 2nd place but I never collected my pic or my ribbon. Just too far gone by then. Anywhooter here is the rough draft of the stupid burd....

[Vangogh1129]

I have a bunch of pieces that I have to scan in. I went and tried tonight but the scanner was acting up so I'll try again tomorrow. Til then, here's two or three. Not my best, but the only ones I had on my computer. They were photographed with a digital camera, and I fixed them up a little bit with photoshop (color, flash, etc.) but I didn't try real hard and I apologize for the quality.

[GuitarDude636]

wow, how do you go by making those ones on the computer?
Like yours, WhatevaC, the 3D modeling and stuff. How do you do that?

[WhatevaC]

Well you have to have some 3D software to do that - 3ds max, maya, lightwave, XSI are the most popular. If you can't afford it, I suggest you to try wings3d - it's a free and very capable. Here is one very strange head without eyes I did in wings, not the best example http://ic1.deviantart.com/images2/i/2004/03/7/6/speedmodel.jpg . Basic idea to 3D modeling is starting out witha simple cube or plane, than adding vertices to it, moving those vertices, than adding more vertices, moving them, and so on. To make something like my car models you have to manually move thousends of those vertices, very time consuming at first. When I made that NSX it took me only 4 days - it's considered very fast ( usually takes couple of weeks or even months)

Wow, freakin sweet. I love twisted faces. cool stuff on this thread. I am affraid was to ripped and twisted on the weekend to do anything other than drool and then puke on sunday. 10 cans of Guinness on Staurday night. I still feel hungover.

[0.1 watts]

0.1 watt how did you get all your photos to look kinda pshcadellic. your stuff is amazing, please tell me how you did that because i kinda want to get into that stuff

Ok you need to think about balancing the contrasts of the colours/tones. I got the mixes by creating layers. These layers either formed a boundary tightly around an object for emphasis, or formed a geometric shape around that area. I try to find the main point of focus in a picture and, well, focus on it! To direct the viewers eye around the page you need to be able to position things effectively

On some of my photos I pasted up to 3 different pictures over each other (like the graveyard ones). Each layer was given a certain amount of transparency to allow the viewer to see the layer underneath.

To make the pictures psychedelic you need to use strong complimentary colours. The important factor is contrast, and raising it to the extreme values adds a so-called 'pop art' feel. As long as the colours are bright and look good against each other then it should be good.

When modifying a photo, think of the above. When you think a picture is done, its done, and don't try to cram anything else into it. Also remember that its all down to your personal taste.

That's a cool drawing Ranger.

t_shirt, you can use the "Paint" program (if you have a PC) to resize your pics. Start/All Programs/Accessories/Paint (I think that's where it is). Then it should be in the Edit menu.

I used to draw a lot, but not since I got back into playing my guitar. Here's something I did when I was thinkin' of a design for the headstock on a guitar build.

You have just created the best kind of art, the one your wife will cherish for many many years to come!!!!!

Good job, she's gonna love it!!! :jump7:, Thanks! I love your paintings too! Do you sell them or just do it for your own release?

Also I also kinda consider my self a amatuer photographer:

check out the face in the center of the flame.
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y55/sean6954/IMG_0363_3.jpg
almost shat myself on that one!

[guitarfun]

WOW!!!! AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED THAT NOT ONLY IS IT A FACE, IT LOOKS LIKE A GUY HOLDING A GUITAR?? The log on top being the neck and the flame over it at the end being the fingers....very cool...

I am planning on displaying my artwork to sell, I haven't done it before as income, usually just for a release

[shiggity]

yes you are the first to see that, I've looked at that pic countless times and never noticed that before.

[guitarfun]

Do you see it now? Even looks like the guy is sitting down on a bench (the other log)
and those flames are his legs bent over it....sweet!

And some others...They all have hidden elements in them and all come from my series of guitar art

That first one isn't all there :( I love the way the colors work out in the second one - great work there (first time I've seen that one.) The others are great too.

[guitarfun]

I'm not sure what's up with the first one....Thanks for the comments!

Here's a link to the newly finished art gallery...

This is my GF's art, and some of it is pretty... how shall I say... wicked. So, with that in mind, if you like art.... check it out. :D

There's 15 pictures in all, so I'll just post the link to the page and let you decide what you want to see. ;)

Your GF has a real tallent. Has she ever considered doing illustrations for books? I think the biggest market is in childrens book - of course in that case she'd have to tone down the gore aspect :D But I think she has a really well developed ability to express herself through her art. Excellent stuff!

[Katau]

I did a lot of drawing in college, but haven't since...no time. Anyway, here's a clipped and shrunk sample of what many of my drawings resemble.

Yes, it's dark and creepy.

Wow, thanks man.... I'll have to show her this. I tell her she has a real gift and she should do more with it. Sahara Sister was the last one she did. She was 'invited' to do some work at this new club opening up, but we haven't heard anything yet. She has a picture at the local coffee shop too. We talked about getting shirts made with some of the pictures... personally I'd love to have one with A Walk In The Sunshine.... that's my fav.

I have to get a picture of this one we have on our wall, it's about 7 feet tall and 3 feet wide. It's a really cool picture of this creepy looking guy with the moon and snow and everything.

Thanks again for the compliments, she will be giddy as a school girl to hear that. :D

Just on the of chance that anyone reads this thread again, if i wanted to do some digital art what is a good programme for it? I have photoshop 7 or somthing on a disc I have yet to install it, I was wanting to maybe use my actuall hand drawn stuff and add it into a digital programme for experimentation. I would need a scanner for that right?

Here's one I did in High School... my mom framed it (?), now I have it again. It's Al Pacino. It's really a pointillism type thing, made up entirely of tiny little V's

http://www.mzla.com/images/pacino.jpg

I used to be a great artist. People would steal my stuff in school all the time though. I guess that's a compliment.

[Emixolydian]

Hmm. I have since given up, but I used to be a photoshop wizard. It was my gig before I went full-time guitar. Here's one of my favorite compositions I did:

wow cows i really like your stuff, some of it is strikingly similar to work that my uncle did. Hes passed away but he used to be an artist and he has a very detailed style, very alike yours. Keep it up guys, this thread makes me want to find my sketch book and fiddle around, although i cant draw for my life.

[ScottRiley]

Cowsarecool, they are some of the most awesome pictures I've ever seen, they strike a chord with me for some reason, absolutely amazing, they look like illustrations to Rold Dahl stories, you;ve got yourself a fan. But, come on, admit it, you draw when you're stoned :rolleye:

[Cowsarecool]

I will never draw under the influence of anything. I never have either. I do not want to fool myself or rely on drugs to get inspiration. My style does however come from some psychiatric issues I have. Thats why they are strange. I do plan on an art career.

[ScottRiley]

Good you;re planning a career in it, you could go a long way, those are awesome.

^Nice, done much work on many other games?

I did the box and internal art for Army Men Sarges Heroes 2 (above) as well as Army Men Air Attack 2 and also Firepro Wrestling. Each for various systems, PS2, Nintendo etc. I've also done a fair amount of internal stuff for various game companies including things like storyboarding a Final Fantasy/Visa commercial and some 3d work for Digital Extremes for their game Dark Sector, which has yet to be released. The sniper rifle I did is below, and a few other things.

Erm, wow! If you don't mind my asking, how would one get into work of that nature? :)

[Cowsarecool]

I am a sophomore in highschool :) that was all done during april i would say.

DAtter, all those looks as if they wre used with a 3d program or something, Do you do painting with photoshop? If so how long did it take you to master it?

[datter]

All of the above was done with a mix 3dsmax and Photoshop. I've been working in the industry in some form or other since 1997 or so... I guess that makes me old. :)

Best way to get into this line of work is to develop yourself on two fronts... technical and creative. One has to be able to use a given piece of software effectively, and also to be able to use it creatively. The only way to learn the software is to use it, whether that's through a school program or via self teaching depends on what works for you. Personally, I taught myself. As for creativity... get a sketch pad and some pencils and start drawing. There's no substitute for a piece of paper. :)

Once you're technically able to use the software (whatever it might be) and creative enough to actually produce with it then get a portfolio/demo reel together and shop yourself around. That, or go the contractor route, which is what I did/do.

[DaisyRocker]

Coolies, thanks :). Man I need to stop being such a technophobe, I still haven't honed my Microsoft Paint skills to a level befitting your average five year old... :o

[Cowsarecool]

yeah I already have a portfolio, it is all hand done stuff the following, I will post pic next week.

-scratchboards
-chrcoal
-pastels
-paintings(acrylics)
-hand drawn
-alot of ink work :)
-illustrations
- computer work most ly adobe illustartor

my main focs is working with ink, and someimtes adjusting with photoshop. I have a definate style, and I can do average to good on everything else. I have probably 100 done projects from freshman til now done. this year I will try to do alot better.

[Cowsarecool]

I do logos, and portraits too.

[Apex]

Coolies, thanks :). Man I need to stop being such a technophobe, I still haven't honed my Microsoft Paint skills to a level befitting your average five year old... :o
That's probably not your lack of artistic ability, but more of the fact that you're trying to make something GOOD in paint. That's a pretty damn hard task if you ask me. If you want to get into digital design then "Buy" ;) Adobe Photoshop CS2. All you really do is like Datter said, just experiment, create what you like, get feedback from people, take classes, read tutorials online.

Actually tutorials online are probably your best bet for just starting off. They will give you an idea of how everything works. If you do get into it, post some stuff up Daisy :)

Datter - I used to do ALOT of merchandise for local bands and stuff. I really didn't see it going anywhere, but man I envy you for being able to do something with your abilities :) sick art + good game haha

Accually, maybe I'll post some of my photos... I take excellent pictures if I do say so myself.

My drawings are Anime/Manga, so I don't know if you guys will like it. :P I hope so anyways.

And BTW you guys are AMAZING drawers! :notworthy

[KcMsterpce]

KcMsterpce thats a really nice drawing for a second time working in pencil! great work

Thanks. My mom and my sister are amazing artists, and I'm pretty sure I have the capacity to learn to draw proficiently myself. I just do NOT have the patience for it. I spent 6 hours on that portrait, and one time previous about 3 hours doing a pencil drawing...
I would rather be doing other things than drawing!

So, I appreciate art. I look at stuff and think I could probably do it, but it would take forever, so I don't even try :p
