Your Other Art III: This Time It's Personal

[Squirminator2k]

Because I lost the other thread and I couldn't be bothered to find it, here's a new one. Partially because I'd like to see what else you guys have done, but mainly so I tell those of you who don't know about my DeviantArt profile... erm... about my DeviantArt Profile. [Thusly. (http://squirminator2k.deviantart.com/)]

A few things of interest in my profile:
[Rubbish (http://www.deviantart.com/view/14987025/)] - for the benefit of Euan, Andrew and Liam.
[Worms Forts Launcher (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/15147671/)] - for the benefit of Andrew, who can't be bothered to use it.
[The Angular Man (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/15672301/)] - for the benefit of my Dad, who can't see this post anyway.
[The Hero (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/15867635/)] - for the benefit of Liam, who thought it was too cartoony.
[Blown Away - Digital (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/15936718/)] - for the benefit of everyone else, because I haven't linked to any of my Worms work yet.

[Zero72]

Just about everybody and his ex-wife's dog has DA at this point, so I think these threads are more or less obsolete. :p With this in mind, all of my non-Worms art finds its way here (http://zero72.deviantart.com) now.

[MtlAngelus]

Meh I don't have a DA account, I'm waiting till I have enough worthy stuff to show in there
But funny you made this thread today, I just made this a couple of minutes ago (It's an animation test, I'm back at using Flash MX ^^ I'll hopefully do something with it soon)
edit: I actually was only doing the floating head on the top left, but then I noticed I left too many blank space there, so added that weird smiley thing on the lower right corner. I also had to kill the head because I didn't know how else to end the animation :P

[MtlAngelus]

another small unfinished animation test, an irken boy with squirrel problems
this one will at some point include sound(hopefully)

[MonkeyforaHead]

You want other art? Fine, here's a snake enjoying a soft drink, and a penguin with a padde ball. I hope you're happy.

[Pickleworm]

For the run-of-the-mill swine: The penguin represents communism (hence the lazer being red), almost silly in a comical way when looked at, but is really facing a multitude of random hardships, and is morally profound, looking inside. The small house represents democracy, and almost ideal foundation, but is nevertheless facing hardships from those that believe otherwise. The X-Ray vision seeing money in an otherwise blank wall represents society and progress, and how profound it is when we take beautiful plains, turn them into factories, all due to greed.

[PinkWorm]

wow. :eek:

[Blown Away - Digital (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/15936718/)]
Weird you should call some of your work for Blown Away. I finished something that I called Blown Away just minutes before I spotted your thread!

Edit: Here's one:

[God's Hand-be-do (http://ic1.deviantart.com/fs6/i/2005/069/8/8/God__s_Hand_by_PotatoBob.jpg)]

[philby4000]

To prove I can draw something other than cats, worms and legless midgets-

Introducing Oskar- the cyborgic ex-magician out to avenge the death of his favorite rabbit.

The first picture is his basic design, costume and a bit of detail as to how he fires and reloads his arm mounted gun.

The numbers in the last four pictures reprisent the order in which they where drawn. hence number one looks crap.

I'm not sure how they managed to come out quite as badly as they did though. :-/

EDIT: Found problem- Resizing with only 2 colours does not give very good results. :p

Newer shinies less pixeley versions now up in place of the awful ones I first posted.

[MtlAngelus]

I'm taking classes on pencil drawing and ink, did this today
I'm quite proud of it
Edit: it's copied from another drawing, not my own concept

[K^2]

I'm quite proud of it
:eek: You should be.

[OldSkoolCrazy]

Holy of all holies! That is amazing! :eek:

[Zero72]

You're the kind of person who should be doing art for a living...

[UnKnown X]

Yes, indeed! So should JjAR and HK too.

You three should form a group or something.

That drawing is brilliant!

[Paul.Power]

That's rather good.

Okay, time to trawl my DA-thingy for non-Worms-type-stuff:

[Fanart for the webcomic Legostar Galactica (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/17720773/) ]
[On strangely-named Sonic zones (http://www.deviantart.com/view/14988604/)] ... though I think I may have shown you this one already.
[Polite Explosion (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/17723522/)]
[Like a briiiiiiidge over trou-ou-bled waterrrrrrs... (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/14991513/)]
[Lake Buttermere, Cumbria (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/15053288/)] ... It's a very nice photograph. Go see it if you haven't already.

[OldSkoolCrazy]

I want to live in that photograph. It's very pretty and peaceful looking.

There are two other AT ones on the previous page, and I'm not sure which games they refer to either.

[AndrewTaylor]

It is Pokemon. The other two are Starfox (the N64 version, in particular) and the Smash Bros bonus feature where you bash the sandbag repeatedly then launch him (he has eyes in true Nintendo fashion) along the stadium.

[Paul.Power]

See, as a Sega fan I'm less likely to have got them, whereas Lemmings is ubiquitous, and Tetris, though Nintendo, is also arguably the most well-known handheld game of all time.

[Zero72]

The Star Fox one in particular had me rolling.

[AndrewTaylor]

I was never that happy with that one, but I do like the idea. It was one of those maybe, maybe not, ah somebody'll like it kind of things.

[MtlAngelus]

Nice nice.
And so I'm woking on something else, here's how it started(character) then a sketch of the pic I'm going to do, then a bigger sketch which I'll pass to a white sheet and then I'll do it with ink.
Comments and critizism is very welcome.

[Zero72]

That's a very awesome scythe.

[OldSkoolCrazy]

My glod where do you learn to draw like that?

*attempts to steal MtlAngelus' drawing ability*

TOO MUCH POWER! CAN'T HANDLE IT!

*explodes*

[MtlAngelus]

It's a combination of lots and lots of practise time during my entire life and some guiding by my arts teacher in the past 4 weeks. And the darkside of the force.

I'm gald you like :)

I now have about enough stuff to start a DA account, so I just might do.

Edit: oh and it took me over 2 hours just to come up with that last sketch.

double post edit

And another artistic thingamajig of sorts - http://www.deviantart.com/view/18540299/

[Traxada]

I posted a random response to both of them, not quite sure what ive written though.........

[MtlAngelus]

So I made a deviantart account, but everything is very confusing. I uploaded the dragon pic(with full details for those who want to see it) and also uploaded my entry for the 3dworms contest, and yet only the dragon pic appears in recent deviations...
http://distortedlight.deviantart.com

[MonkeyforaHead]

That's because it somehow wound up in your "Scraps" section. If you submit anything in the "Doodles & Sketches" category, it automatically goes into Scraps, meaning it has less chance of being noticed and is generally regarded as an unfinished work. Annoying, yes. So if you really want it in your Deviations list instead of the Scraps list, you'll have to edit the category it's in.

[MtlAngelus]

In the scrap section I have the reaper pic, but I put it there intentionally, the 3d worms pic is the one that appears nowhere...
You see I uploaded the dragon, but it had no preview image(not my fault, the thing said that if it was png then It didn't need any, but apparently It did) so I deleted the pic and uploaded the dragon again. I then uploaded the pic I used as entry for the 3d Worms competition, and later the reaper one(under scrap section).
And then all I get under recent deviations is the old dragon link(which leads to a dead link), but the 3dworms pic or the new dragon with preview pic won't appear.
This is so very confusing.
If I check the gallery I only get the old dragon link too. This is very very annoying...

[philby4000]

for the last week or soDeviant art has been taking ages to update my recent deviations and my gallery when I make a new submission.

After a while it fixes it's sef, but it is truley irritating.

you can set the picture as your featured deviation before it apears in your gallery.

I think Squirminator has been having similar problems.

[Worm Mad]

I had problems of that nature, last night, after uploading those two pics. They didn't appear in my gallery until today.

[philby4000]

Here's yet more stuff for my comic-

Naming these characters was realy easy. :p

I wanted to make them sound ancient, and what's more ancient than place names from around the british isles?

[OldSkoolCrazy]

I like it a lot. The characters are awsome!

[Paul.Power]

Here's yet more stuff for my comic-

Naming these characters was realy easy. :p

I wanted to make them sound ancient, and what's more ancient than place names from around the british isles?... Except that "Camarthen" isn't spelt like that...

But yeah, nice work.

[philby4000]

... Except that "Camarthen" isn't spelt like that...

But yeah, nice work.
Carmarthen is spelt like that either.

Ha!

The typo spotter has become the typoist!

And thanks.

[Paul.Power]

Carmarthen is spelt like that either.

Ha!

The typo spotter has become the typoist!

And thanks.You'd be amazed how many people make that mistake, though. Do a search for it on Google.

[philby4000]

Well, I trust multimap.

[Paul.Power]

Fair enough, I accept that Carmarthen is probably the proper spelling. It's just that Camarthen is a very common mistake. So I can probably be forgiven (just this once? pleeeeease?)

[philby4000]

I admit your error was less spectacular than mine.

But I still won! :p

[AndrewTaylor]

Here's yet more stuff for my comic-

Naming these characters was realy easy. :p

I notice that you have a character called Cartman and a character called Kill Kenny.

[philby4000]

Carmarthen... Cartman...

Wow, it'd be the same if it had 4 leters less and if the second A was at the end. :rolleyes:

I'm not to fussed about names sounding like famous personalitys/ cartoon characters. It's the nature of a comic about cats that half the names are references.

Stop trying to pick holes in my oh-so creative names.

Perhaps I should upload some of my photos for you lot to drool over...or maybe I should make a flash gallery...yes i'll do that...bloat the photos so the quality sucks and theres huge amount of processing going towards transitions between photos rather than displaying the full quality, 5 megapixel, gorgeous photos to their full potential.

Am I evil, a genius, or a maniacal combination therein? Mwahahahhahaa

Any chance of scanning a larger version, say 1280x1024, to be used as a desktop wallpaper?

[MtlAngelus]

Well, the original scanned version was 21xx or something large, so yes I can, I just don't quite think it would make that good a wallpaper. But if you really want it I can put it up for download.

[FutureWorm]

Well, it's up to you, I suppose.

But I would love to have it on my iBook for a little while. Perhaps it would look cool inverted or something.

[Zero72]

As long as I'm here, the last few of my Deviations have been on my Mega Man fan character, Maximus. The colored one espeically is worth checking out.

Maddox is looking for illustrators. (http://maddox.xmission.com/c.cgi?u=illustrators)

[Squirminator2k]

Maddox is looking for illustrators. (http://maddox.xmission.com/c.cgi?u=illustrators)
And this is important because...?

[UnKnown X]

If he hires some writers and HTML coders and thinkers as well he could be well on the way to having a half decent website.
Apparently, it looks terrible on purpose.

Q. Why does your site look so ****ty? / Why do you use such huge fonts?

A. My site looks ****ty for the following reasons:
1. Bandwidth conservation. I'm costing my ISP, Xmission, a lot of bandwidth per month, even with the text-heavy layout I have now. Xmission has been great about hosting this site, and I want to make it as efficient as possible while still getting my point across.

2. Protest. I'm keeping my web site ****ty as a protest against all the slick-looking, contentless web sites out there. Nobody cares about your stupid rotating icons and fading links. Mine isn't the only site on the internet that uses a simple layout, perhaps you've heard of this one?

[Screenshot of Google]

Some webmasters have spent years tweaking their layout and designing their site, and very few get any traffic. This site, as ****ty as it looks, gets over 1 million visits per month. I use large fonts also as a protest against all the stylish garbage you see out there. When I go to a web site, I WANT TO READ THE CONTENT. Trust me, that micro-font everyone uses isn't nearly as original as they think. I've chosen a black background for most of my text because it's easier on the eyes than staring at a white screen. Think about it: your monitor is not a piece of paper, no matter how hard you try to make it one. Staring at a white background while you read is like staring at a light bulb (don't believe me? Try turning off the lights next time you use a word processor). Would you stare at a light bulb for hours at a time? Not if you want to keep your vision.

[AndrewTaylor]

Apparently, it looks terrible on purpose.
Is it shoddily written and slightly stupid on purpose as well?

[Squirminator2k]

Through all of his blathering he does, on occassion, write something that contains faint glimmers of potential sense. But for the most part he talks pure, Weapons Grade Balonium.

[AndrewTaylor]

Through all of his blathering he does, on occassion, write something that contains faint glimmers of potential sense.
I put that down to the Thousand Monkeys Effect.

Go easy on him, he's from Utah. . .

[Squirminator2k]

Oh yes, I forgot that made it okay for someone to be a Cretinous Moron.

[UnKnown X]

No, but you can't really blame him for being a bit. . . mentally unstable.

[MtlAngelus]

I quite like his way of thinking, and he's also quite hilarious. And I quite like the fact that he's looking for ilustrators. So to me this IS important. And I wouldn't have found out if it wasn't posted here.
I'm gonna send some samples :D

Good. I'll submit it then.

So I sent Maddox [my submission (http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/7012/punchkid0rw.png)], and he replied thinking I was serious!

I kid you not.

I even said my name was Fred Dibnah!



Awesome style, but it's not what we're looking for unfortunately.

I'm looking for simple black and white illustrations along the lines of
what you'd see in a reference book or an encyclopedia. Strong emphasis
on anatomy, with a realistic look and non-exaggerated proportions.

Thanks for the submission.

Meta-entry for "How Not To Run A Comic"?

Yeah, it's just meant to be a parody of people who make comics that are parodies of comics really. Nice sprite house, btw.

I know this image is huge, but I did scale it down, (orignal was drawn at 1600*1200)
This self portrait took me 2-3 hours, made it this morning. My hand hurts... ghergh

I like them

Edit:
Here is more art by me ^^
Took me all afternoon

http://www.deviantart.com/view/21213364/

[MtlAngelus]

Done in a canvass 40x50cm size, with oil paintings. The photo is kindof bad, it shines too much. It doesn't shine as much in person. I'll try getting a better pic of it taken, but it'll take time. Or I'll try scanning it.

[philby4000]

I'd coment on that, but I'm far too busy fetching my eyeballs and my jaw from the floor.

[BetongÅsna]

It's disturbingly brilliant.

[MtlAngelus]

Just before you get all crazy, it is a copy of another painting, by the allmighty Brom ->Clicky (http://www.bromart.com/) <-
The original has a much niftier background(that I am completely clueless as how he did it)
Also, mine is slightly fatter :p
Here you can see the original and compare: ->Stringer<- (http://www.therionweb.de/brom/volume3/brom_stringer.jpg)

You have to draw Joe with a cricket bat as well. Then it would be perfect.

[OldSkoolCrazy]

lol, yeah, that would be great.

[philby4000]

anyone remember this guy?

http://forum.team17.co.uk/showpost.php?p=370534&postcount=11

I spent a goodly amount of time on this.

The hat may be balancing awkwardly and the robot leg may be a litle too short, but I'm still happy with this picture, particularly looking again at my initial drawings of him.

EDIT: funky big deviant art version available!

http://www.deviantart.com/view/22051528/

[Xinos]

Niiiice Phibly =)
Got some funky lineart and nice simplistic shading.
I like his robotic hand. Is he the Mad Hatter from the future?

[Squirminator2k]

Funky stuff.

[Xinos]

Yeah, that made me want to draw something, so I wipped together this:

http://www.deviantart.com/view/22054544/ :)

[philby4000]

That's realy nice.

I think the simple background works well.

Awesome.
I've never figured how to properly use that stuff.

[Dim Worm]

Hmmmmmmmmm ...
I don't have a devianart profile i_i
Does this count as an art?

http://geocities.yahoo.com.br/freudsgaia/musicas/musica.mp3

[MonkeyforaHead]

Unfortunately, DeviantArt doesn't have a section for music. They don't have anything against using your own music in a Flash animation though, as long as there's more to it than the music.

Try to use copyrighted music in a Flash if you're a popular enough artist, and they'll jump right down your throat.

[Paul.Power]

Unfortunately, DeviantArt doesn't have a section for music.Which has always struck me as rather unfair as someone who likes to have as many strings to their bow as possible (even if they are all a bit out of tune...)

[philby4000]

Instead of doing this I realy should have done some of my biology coursework :p

[Worm Mad]

Ooh, so that's what he looks like! Nice work! :)

[Xinos]

I can never get the curvy line tool to work properly.
I alwase get wierd S shaped lines, and they screw up all over.

[MonkeyforaHead]

If it's anything like the auto-smooth line tool in Flash, I hate it already.

[philby4000]

It's similar to the curvey line tool in paint, except it's obviously a lot better.

You draw a line, then place two points which manipulate the curve at both ends. You only get one shot at placing each of these points so if you mess up you have to undo and start again.

Gunstar heroes?

And:

[OldSkoolCrazy]

Where did you learn how to do character animation? I just can't seem to find anything that teaches Maya character animation.

And it looks so familiar and it's bugging me!

[MtlAngelus]

I learned character animation in a two week maya course.
I don't really know about any good online tutorial on it :-/.

And, no it's not gunstar heroes. Perhaps when I finish some more details on it you'll know who it is :p

[MtlAngelus]

Maybe you'll recognise him now, with basic coloring and pointy ears :p

[MonkeyforaHead]

That weirdo from Warcraft 3 or World of Warcraft of maybe Everquest or something in that department. Never played any of 'em, but I recognize the features.

[OldSkoolCrazy]

I learned character animation in a two week maya course.
I don't really know about any good online tutorial on it :-/.

Yeah, I thought that might be the best way to learn it. I've been trying to do it on my own but it gets really advanced sometimes. I think I'm going to research some schools in my area that would teach me it.

[MtlAngelus]

That weirdo from Warcraft 3 or World of Warcraft of maybe Everquest or something in that department. Never played any of 'em, but I recognize the features.
Neither have I, so no :p
Well, this have gone too far already :rolleyes:
It's Magus. From Chrono Trigger.

[Xinos]

The face looks good, but you should really learn to use edgeloops, as the render result will look much more natural. Here's a quick and good quide:
http://p212.ezboard.com/fnendowingsmiraifrm3.showMessage?topicID=135.topic

Philby, I took the liberty to recolor/shade one of your pictures. Don't se it as "your shading sucks, so I had to show you how" but more as a tribute, your shading works and theirs nothing wrong with it, I just need to practice more realistic methods and your picture was a great starting point as it saves me the time of drawing something ;)

I know that, I'm just defining a rough shape of the face, because I'm gonna attempt to create a more real-looking model from it. To try to give magus a less manga look and more real look that is.

Don't worry, I'm not offended or anything, I know that my shading sucks. I spend so little time on it. It's just one transparant layer of black.:p

That does look very nice though. I don't supose you could give me some basic shading tips?

[Xinos]

As far as techique goes, I just use a bursh with opacity and flow set at about 30-50%, as that let's you blend colors nicely without having to pic a bunch of different tones all the time... other than that I just follow tutorials and look at what other people do, as get critique from friends who are better than me ;(

I found this (http://itchstudios.com/psg/art_tut.htm) not long ago.

Once you learn the technique part of shading (the 'easy' part), study reflections and what other people do and try to copy. Which is what I should do, I mean, my goal is to be this good:http://www.ryanchurch.com/ryanchurch_image017.htm

I really don't know what to say. I am not worthy of giving tips ;)

[UnKnown X]

I just tried Flash, and I'm quite impressed. It makes even my art look [half-decent (http://img465.imageshack.us/img465/646/siegheil5ms.png)].

[MtlAngelus]

Well, I was looking trough some Magus artwork, and foun that the original looks much more evil and cool than the slightly more anime-style one that was used in those animated shorts they released with the PSX version of the game.
So I started moving vertices around to make it look more like the original. And this is what I've got so far :p
Still a lot of fixing need to be done, I'll probably separate head fom hair, neck's missing too... and general detailing too.
But anyway, I think it's looking far better now than it did before.
Here's the artwork I'm basing on right now: CLICK HERE (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/89/Magus_Artwork.jpg/250px-Magus_Artwork.jpg)
Any critics and comments are welcome.

I'm also replaying the game... you know, for inspiration :rolleyes:

[Blinx]

For those of you that care.

I've completed my painting of Van Gogh's Painting In A Mental Asylum. And now i'm about to begin doing Edvard Munch's The Scream (also known as The Cry)

Funky stuff, Paul. Though the face is a little scary :p .That's kinda the point. She wants to try and get the maximum intimidation and awe out of people. Like I say, she has a god complex. It's not enough for her that she's the most powerful being ever: she craves worship as such.

Personally I'd add some details to the south of the yellow blob on the sword.

Why thank you =)

Although I am happy for the turnout of the actuall objects, now that I see the pic the day after, I realise that the ground area is very empty and it looks wierd. It's kinda hard to find out what to fill that emtyness with, which I should have done first instead of just drawing thoose two cliffs, and then the third one.

Philby, you should have a script that automaticly places thoose tassels on the back of his body :p

[AndrewTaylor]

I'd say choppy waves. Though that would take a while.

[Xinos]

It would take time... then again, I'm not sure that's water. It was meant to be sand, and the color is because it's night. But If I ad more rocks and waves (especially thoose breaking on the rocks) it could quite easaly turn into sea.

Yes, probably.

And, yes I have made several changes since I posted the latest "final" link :rolleyes:. I guarantee you I've finished now, though. I've definitely hit the "diminishing returns" point now, I feel.

BUMP-EDIT: Of course, just because I've finished the Holonet pic, doesn't mean I can't do more Beings of Light art...
