The Original Art Thread From The Bar

[Blank]

I thought it would be cool to exchange artwork and techniques with other people on the boards. Simply post a pic or two and critique the work.

I'll go first...

The MSpaint style is one of grace and solid foundation. The mixture of colors creates a flurry of passion between the creator and his work. Leaving the soul.

My favorite work so far. (http://www.deviantart.com/view/9718956/)

A very strangely drawn profile of Keanu Reeves. It's a poor picture of it, and I don't have a digi cam around to take a better one at the moment. Done with nothing but different art pencils and free-hand copied from a magazine. It's almost a caricature.

[Blank]

That's pretty interesting, Beck. I like it.

[-Beck-]

Oh, also Blank, I really like your's. It's as though Salador Dali and BeatleJuice clashed.

[Burr]

<= I consider this Second Life av to be an artwork, heheh.. Everyone seems to love it anyway. Cute lil' Bolt Fox.

I scribble or doodle things every now and then but consider them to be too personal to share. *shrug* Maybe after I graduate I put some real effort into a drawing like I used to when I was younger and see what happens. Mush puts me to shame though, at least from what I can tell of the couple drawings of his he showed me. Silly thing wont put up a portfolio on the web, though. :p

[Arandar]

Bah I wish I could draw. It would be nice since then I could just paint or draw some cool picture of a dragon or whatnot. But alas I don't seem to have that talent. Heh I have shitty handwriting to. I always have and probably always will. The extent of my art "talent" is MS pain, and even then I believe Rayo still puts me to shame as sad as that is to say considering its not anything THAT difficult to make.

[Ender]

Heh, I do some scribbles every now and again. Nothing too hot, i don't suppose.

I do a lot of stuff in PS, but I don't know I would really consider making sigs "art".
Here's a sample or two.

Wow, Blank, you rule. I have been inspired. I love your work.
I need to start drawing again. I haven't drawn in so long. I was pretty good at it, too. I think I'll take a drawing class in my senior year.

[Kirrikane]

Blank, your art is amazing. I love it. Keep it up man.

This isnt art, but it is a picture...

http://img274.echo.cx/img274/7246/jpgggg6le.jpg

[Blank]

Much appreciated guys. I've got three pieces in an upcoming art show. I'm taking my digicam to the setup of the show tomorrow so I can take pics of a painting and storyboard I did.

I'll post those later this week.

[Octocamo]

Damn, I suck at art, but my Dad rules.

I'm in Art class this year, I'll take pics of my shitty stuff when I get to take it home.

(Mandala, Eye/Cue Design, Colored Pencil Collage, etc.)

[Blank]

To Matrix and m4d, art class is incredibly helpful. It won't make you a better artist (that all depends on you), but it will help you find a path. As I see it, art class does two things for you.

1.) It will open you to different mediums (photography, paint, collage, crayon, oil pastel, charcoal).
2.) The art teacher will eventually piss you off on purpose. This will make you spark and act as a catalyst to finding your style.

Hope to see stuff from both of you soon.

[Octocamo]

Ya, The old bitch always wants to do mine (she basically does everyone elses), but I just do it my own way. I don't like people do stuff to my work, if it comes out shitty, I know I did it. Not someone else.

I think my collage came out really well, but it was so messed. It has a Spartan, a Jedi, and Sam Fisher... with explosions. Kinda cramped though. We had to take a 4X4" square (or smaller) and get mag pics, and then draw them onto a 16X16" piece of paper, and then color it with colored pencils, and blend it. It was so hard to get the details, but I think it came out pretty good (minus the jedi's face....). I'll post it in June when I get to take it home. ;(

[Blank]

Oi, I hate working with collages.

[Octocamo]

Oi, I hate working with collages.

They're hard as hell (drawing them shits). I think I got a 95 on it.

Right now we're drawing still lifes... Did one in Pencil first with 3 white objects. I hate doing that shit. I got a 89 on it because I couldn't get the cube shaped right because the other objects were blocking part of it and in weird positions in my POV.

The one I'm doing now is still life colored objects.... a pitcher, chili peppers, and a pear... We have to draw all the cloth folds too....WITH THE FUCKING PATTERNS. Wow, it sucks so bad. Then we have to color it in with oil pastels...

Damn....

[Blank]

Oi, still lifes are such a joy to do... :(

In any case, here's a crappy pic of the painting I did for my final project in art. I was trying to paint in an impressionist style. In any case, it's called Beautiful Mum.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v320/BlankMage/beautifulmum.jpg

I'll get closer and better pics of the texture later.

[Kirrikane]

Thats awesome and + rep for being a nasty artist.

[Emptythought]

everything i do with a pen or a pencil comes out looking like some preschoolers drawing of a cat.

so all my stuff is digital ink, mainly in illustrator and ps cs with the pen tool:

(^old sig, i didnt save the AI's or the png version without the text -_-)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/kurami/empty-ikill.jpg

ive also done a bunch of huge abstract stuff(1024x768+) but i cant seem to find any of that right now, maybe it didnt get backed up and died in the hdd explosion?

and ender, your stuff can best be described as "HOLY SHIT". in a good way.

[Blank]

Good stuff Empty. The first one intrigues me.

I was able to get the storyboard frames and stuff all together to show you guys. It's a weird project, slightly rushed as well. I also painted the storyboard (not the frames). Here's the storyboard back that would hold the frames.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v320/BlankMage/Storyboardback.jpg
I wanted to make it look like a cave painting or very primal.
Here are all the storyboard frames (in order of course).
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v320/BlankMage/storyboard.jpg

[Ender]

and ender, your stuff can best be described as "HOLY SHIT". in a good way.

haha, thanks.
I try to do some trippy stuff. The thing is, a lot of GFxer's think my work is shit, which pisses me off, as most of them can't work with the pen tool at all, nor do some of the brushing I've lucked out upon.
I like your work, as well.

Blank, My sister just bought some canvases, so I think I'll try my hand @ some abstract oils, or something.

[Tom the First]

Blank, do you know who David Firth is?

[Blank]

Blank, do you know who David Firth is?

Salad Fingers web series rules. I love his work. Of course, I didn't know who he was until a few months ago. I've seen a large portion of his flashes since.

[Blank]

Here are some pictures from my school's art show. I'll try and remember all their names and mediums. I also added some better pics of some of the pieces in my art show. They were in proper lighting this time as well. So much stuff I took pictures of. Great works. Shame our art department isn't funded well enough. it has so much potential.

Ok, thanks alot. I usually cut mine, but I cut the stocks differently than most people. I duplicate the layer, then anchor it, and then erase around the person. It lets me have nearly perfectly cut stocks. I'm horrible at any other methods.

Use layer masks. If you don't know how, I'll tell you, or find a short little tut to read. Its better than erasing, as you don't have to worry about screwing up, as its easily fixed.

I wasn't sure where to put this, so since it has to do with a sig, I'm putting my question here. Does anyone have a picture of V from the V for Vendetta comic that would make a good stock?

Here it is.

Ender im still not sure about the sig contest, I got your PM but im TRYING to get back into sigs. Right now its really tough for me, but im working my way back into art (ive been missing a lot of assignments in graphic design class... just very unmotivated thanks to some life issues)

But Im starting with this, if you want to use it in the contest go ahead, it doesnt fit the criteria though so Im still willing to make another tag.

http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/2793/winnarismecopy4pf.jpg

Yes, thats me in the picture, albeit a bit deformed. And I was going for a really bright look while just trying to get back into the whole tagging deal. I was also in a silent and calmly frustrated mood so that also expressed my current feelings at the time. Which I'm glad they do, art should express some sort of emotion. Well, it helps at least.

Hey, no pressure man, I just wasn't sure what the deal was, as it had been like a week, and no word through PM or anything. If you're not comfortable doing it, its fine. Hope things fall into place for you.

Anyways, just FYI, the sig I'm showing now was the one I was going to use in the battle. What you think?

Both the sigs are equally sechsy, IMO.

its pretty good, my only problem is that the stock should flow a little better with the rest of it, make it all seem like its flowing in one direction. And maybe incorporate him more in some way, you dont have to do that but I always like to so its been a preference of mine.

But i still really like it. And I dont want to have the battle just yet, I want to get back into sig making some more before I go at it. I want to actually MAKE a sig instead of just mess around like i did on that one :/

EDIT: http://www.jdees.org/upload/userfiles/Ender/xzyonbattlegif.gif now this one has a REALLY good flow, but i still have tiny little pet peeves, maybe try something else with the text (the pulsing is nice, but lowers its quality and needs to be placed somewhere slightly different). I really like that though, has better flow which can mean the world

Well, I did take a class, but I woudlnt' say it helped, much. Most of what we learned was just simple photomanipulations, and how to do a styled frame, or something :/. Pretty much retinting eye color, how to cut, and that kind of stuff. Through 18 weeks, of 90 minutes a day, I think I learned more in 30 minutes alone at home with my copy.

Basically, I just read tutorials. I never copied them, not even a dual test during a read. Just read the material, get the general ideas, and go at it yourself. The sig I think you're talking about was actually pretty simple. I took a default brush (kinda like a really large speckled thing 100pixel standard) and opened up a 900 by 900 canvas. I made about 8 different layers, and scribbled random lines and stuff. I then overlayed them (blending effects), and changed the hues to get that general look. I then did some touching up here and there, with stuff I've picked up over time, and got the result. :/

So, I guess the thing is, read some tuts (dont' actually do them, just get general ideas), and practice a lot on your own. I estimate my experience to be about a year, so, yeah. :)

Now, on a sidenote, some of the artists I envy most (Erde, Gippal) claim to have never used tuts. I just find that they rapidly improve starting ability. :/

PS-If you'd like a tut, or something, I'll be glad to write something up. I've got a few simple effects that I think are totally kickass.


Doug-Drawing is kickarse.

keep going with it beck, i love the second one's colors. But maybe do a gaussian blur effect to it (if you know what im talking about)

its a popular effect lately among the media and movies and other places, just use gaussian blur on the picture. then go to edit and click "fade guassian blur" and fade it enough to where it looks like the pic has a soft tint to it. When done right, it can look pretty good. Dont leave too much of the softness tho, use moderation in your decision.

Good work tho Beck!

Also, here's something I made out of hate for my stepmom :D

I know what guassian blur is, but I like that it looks so sharp. That kind of blur would kind of kill it in my eyes, especially since it took about 9 hours to complete. :/

[Tom the First]

I'm starting to get into poetry a lot because of my Creative Writing class.

The Great Painted Wall

I see a million suffering children
but now I don’t
they have disappeared from my sight
and I can’t even remember them
because you built a wall
and painted it
with distractions galore

while people die
you make the living miserable
forcing them into tears
wanting suicide

and you only do it
because your mother told you
no rationality
it never makes sense
but I know one thing for sure
the result is always fatality

you’re not pro-life
or pro-family at that
you’re just pro... pro-Anti-Christ

Untitled Projective Verse Poem (dammit, it's not formatted in the way it's supposed to be. if you want the full effect of the poem, read it here (http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=11756416&blogID=67797160&Mytoken=e644a768-d7a9-49f9-ae8d-4662e654677c))

When people look
at me
they see quite a confident person
I agree
What some may not know
is there are some things I hide
nothing serious like deep hate or suicide
but I doubt myself
about a number of things
whether I’m doing the right thing
or
if I should have taken a hike
sometimes I cannot feel good
and it’s a feeling I do not like
the feelings must be deep
because I’m a logical person
I know that to be true
Just ask me about anything evolutionary
so why do I bother dwelling on this
it has to be things that were progressively planted into me
progressively, I say? how so?
well how about my family?
that seems to be the rationale behind my irrationality
it’s the old tale of pathos over logos
that throws down the ethos
and it’s a problem that is not so easily remedied
so what do I do now?
I know what the problem is
so can’t I just get rid of it?
No
it’s not that easy
it’s something I have to treat
as I continue to live
someday I will claim victory
and have these problems beat
I guess I can live with that
to be aware and not to be blind
is to let people get the true find
so what you see
and what you smell
may happen to be
a living hell
but I’ll place a bet
If you want me
there are no detours
it’s what you’ll get.

[EvilWall]

" it’s the old tale of pathos over logos

and it’s a problem that is not so easily remedied"

I liked that part, from the second poem the most. I didn't like the first poem, I just interpreted it as whining. I'll share with you my Christmas poem/song that I wrote last year (as soon as I can find it). I might make up something else this morning and see what you think too.

Edit: ok I found it, here you go....

Santa.

I looked with hate at santa's sled so red,
while visions of beating him danced through my head.

He looked at me and I gave him a glare,
that giant fat bastard should know not to stare.

I climbed up to the roof and began to prepare
He said "young man, just what do you dare?"

I said "I'll kick your ass santa, so don't give me s**t"
"I'll break your arms off, right from your armpits"

So I came at santa, fists for his face,
that jolly red f**k sprayed me with mace.

[Tom the First]

My first poem is about the trivial culture wars that are conquering America.

That was a pretty good rhyming poem. Santa always knows how to keep prepared for the worst.

[EvilWall]

That red asshole.

[Tom the First]

I can definitely feel the emotion in it. I'm taking it as one of those days your just pissed off, and you just don't want to deal with any fat, smiling, red guys at all. I've gotten that before.

This is a photoshop project that I have due on Tuesday... still not done, but what do you think so far.

Also yes I am looking for a better background. We can't use anything unless we take a picture of it or scan it ourself.

[Ender]

Luminosity typically doesn't turn out well, Personally, what I sould do, is take each different set of blue, an manually change the color to something in the background.
Like, dark blue into the blue in back, light blue to red, and then his skin tone to the tan/toupe in the background. That is, if you keep it. :/

But by all means, I'm not that great at PS. :/

Yeah I was thinking of the 20s all being different blues with different applications.

As for the background.... I need something tht isn't solid. I just used that because it is what I had from class. So maybe I should break out and snap a shot of a blueish shirt....

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b88/gk128/Dollar-Bill-2.jpg

I changed the background and the blending on MM. Also I modified the upper left 20.

I need to add the Nintendo seal of quality for the currency seal, and I'd like to redo the 20s so the selections aren't so wobbly.

I'm no PS pro either, but I'm in classes to become one.

[Firemac]

I just skimmed over the thread.

great stuff from blank

I'm not good at all. I draw a lot, but my drawing sucks. Here let me go draw something real quick in Paint. (I'm even worse on a computer =P)

Edit: here's my crappy quick drawn pic

just a warm up tag, working on brushing

[Ezekiel]

Colors are awesome as always and the brushing reminds me of EM's :)

[-Beck-]

Alan Wake?

And can someone please explain the pun of his name to me in a PM? I know he can't sleep and so he's always aWAKE. Is that it?

[Ezekiel]

I never knew there was a pun about his name but that sounds like it would be it

[-Beck-]

Something I whipped together. I hope they take it. :/

I know it's sloppy, but they have some utter shit on there, so I'm not worried.

[Ezekiel]

once again, boredom+the gimp=...

its from ghost in the shell, i noticed that the text is messed up but the blurring is all done by hand as is alot of other stuff on it, so i don't really feel like redoing it.

[-Beck-]

Do you always work on such a massive scale empty?

And lookie here: http://www.conanvsbear.com/index.php?image=503

:D

Not going to double post but here's this little update:

The world preimer of my Garry's Mod comic, now officially named Etka Industries.

Read, enjoy, and spread the word! Thanks :D

[Emptythought]

it wasn't entirely done at that scale, but it was touched up and finalized at 1600x1200.

i usually do stuff to be wallpapers.. or.. for tshirts, etc.

Post some shirts.

Anyways, I did some stencilling with my girlfriend over the last couple of nights (she she stayed the night friday ;)), and I was planning to scan/photo the designs and show them off.

[VectorSigma]

This is a stencil I did about 2 weeks ago.

If you can't tell, it was my first attempt at a stencil. I also put the stencil on a grey shirt. It's alright. The initial drawing came out better.

Pretty much all my life, I've doodled. Mostly in the margin of my school papers. That has had a major effect on my school grades. I'd further elaborate, but my mom insists that NOW is the time to eat.

Stencils (One iron-on).
First time I've ever done it, and I think it'll be a regular occurance from this point on.

[Ezekiel]

I wanna do that so bad :/

[LazerViking]

i really wish i could make my designs for a black zip up hoody. but i never found the right place in less you bought it in bulk, wich would have cost hundereds and i would only need one

very sweet shirts vector and ender

[Octocamo]

Ender, make me some shirts, k.

[Emptythought]

how are you guys printing that stuff on the shirts, i want to do some soon but all i have is the designs in photochop

[-Beck-]

Simplest way I can think of is to print, then slice out the design with an Exacto knife, lay it on a shirt, and paint.

But that's probably the poor-man's way.

[Emptythought]

i was more wondering on what kind of paint to use

[GH33DA]

[Emptythought]

aren't those the kind that just fall off/flake terribly after the shirt has been washed a few times though?

[VectorSigma]

For the storm trooper shirt, I printed out a few stormtrooper pictures for reference. Then I drew a helmet quite big on a manilla folder and used an exacto knife to cut out the black parts. Then I obtained very shitty cheap spray paint, cause I'm piss broke all of the time, and just sprayed it onto a white shirt. You can tell it was spray painted on some of the edges, so it doesn't look high quality. I'd like to think it gives it a grungy look, but in reality it makes it look cheaper than it really it. Which is pretty cheap. I wanna know how Ender made his look so clean and even. Almost professional.

[Ender]

Ok, I'll make a thread, as I want the attention, and don't want it to get lost in the pages that are this thread. That, and It would be a decent one, I think.

[Blank]

Lol! The fgt one is priceless.

I know a guy that had a black shirt and put pyramid head on it.

God I want that shirt so bad.

that would have been badass if you had let the paint drip down it so it actually looked grunge

as it is.. kinda.. yea

[Ender]

Lol! The fgt one is priceless.

I thought so, too. My friends cracked up when I pitched the idea.

Right now, I'm trying to form a Keanu Reeves one, with "Whoa" under it.
Good luck, with it >.<

[AK47]

Here's some sketch I did during class.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v86/aktrigger/carlossketch2.jpg

I call him "Raphael"

[-Beck-]

Updated my comic. Checl it out.

[Ender]

Whoa, Carlos.

[Firemac]

How the hell is that a sketch, AK47 O_o, it's amazing. I wish I had a nack for shading.

[AK47]

Ah, here's another sketch that I started in class and didn't get to finish. I'll probably fine tune it some more another time.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v86/aktrigger/carlossketch3.jpg

Raphael is at it again!

[LazerViking]

define the section seperating his legs, and i love it.

nice comic update beck :)

[Firemac]

stop shading so damn well. You gotta teach me how you learn to shade like that

[VectorSigma]

Yeah. I suck hardcore at shading.

EDIT- and AK, your sketches are nothing less than fucking amazing.

[H.A.W.G.]

My newest vector, I was sick today so I had a little free time

Nice detail in the gate HAWG, though it's a bit blurry.

Thanks to everyone who reads my comic. BTW, I just updated tonight. Have a look if you like. The permanent schedule is planned as every Saturday for sure, and either Tuesday or Wednesday (there's only 7 days in a week so it kind of throws me off balance). Tell people the link if you like it. :D

Me in photoshop for the first time.

I went a little over board with the blur this time. If you do it right it makes it look so freakin realistic

[LazerViking]

very well done, especially for a first time blank.

my current sigs an old tag i made in the summer

I remember it.

I also remember I ished when I saw it. :D

[Blank]

Thanks for the compliments, guys. :)

It's still really weird to use though.

[Blank]

God, this program is fun.

Second one. :)

It is fun to mess with, I'll admit that. Filter whoring when I first got it is all I did too. :D

What did you draw the notes with? Just the pencil or brush?
