Title: ART THREAD
Post by: Toom on June 30, 2007, 06:26:19 pm
This is a place to put up anything you've drawn/made recently that you'd like people to see. Let's see your drawin' chops, Bit Blot Forumites!

This is the last really finished thing I've done (due to various Problems); it's an EP cover for a band called The Definite Articles (http://www.myspace.com/thedefinitearticles). My old chum Aid (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=89068414) is currently designing some sick typography to go on it, because he's amazing at that stuff and I am rubbish.

I'm working on the cover for the full album at the moment, but it's an absolute ballache of a task when you've only got three colours to play with (rassum frassum screenprinting grumble mumble). At least I should be getting paid for that (the EP cover was done pro bono, because the violinist's a good friend, also I'm now owed a pretty significant favour from the band  ;)).

Edit: DAMN YOUUU PHOTOBUCKEEEETTTTT (I'll try to get it rehosted somewhere else).

Try QuickShareIt.  www.quickshareit.com . Mac only, though.  If you're not on mac, you could send it to me and i could upload it, though that would be getting complicated.  I don't have any other rehosting suggestions, though i did see it before, and i liked it.  Very cool stuff.

Edit:  *Remembered something else*  www.maj.com.  It's free, and it's relatively nice.

Here are a bunch of random things I did. Everyone is pretty damn old, but it's not like I got better :D

Some dude with a porcupine:

And I just had to put this. It's an old fanart from Derek's Eternal Daughter. I posted this years ago on the Blackeye forums. I wonder if he remembers this:

Very much WIP Boba Fett picture. Lots left to do on this, not least of which is fixing that godawful background.

Entry for a stupid Photoshop contest on another forum; kinda in-jokey. (Edit: although I am quite proud of the reasonably-accurate kana (if "Donegujira" can be classed as "reasonably accurate" (NESTED PARENTHESES YESSSSS)).)

Aw hell I need to get some more stuff scanned.

5-minute Photoshop sketch of Hastings Kilgore from Ugly Hill (http://www.uglyhill.com)...I'm doing a guest strip for Paul (actually should've been done like a week ago...hope his wife doesn't poop out a baby and ruin everything before I get done), so I did this to try to get a feel for the character.

But, I have made these...

This is a signature I use at www.gametrailers.com

I drew each character alone so I can move them around. Every week or so I added another character. Now I'm running out of space.

See if you can guess all the names:

I have only 2 things to say about this thread.  1: The nun looking chick with white hair reminds me of Bridget from Guilty Gear...and I HATE BRIDGET.  and 2: That comic about the knife in the throat...creepin' me out.
Title: Re: ART THREAD
Post by: King on March 21, 2008, 09:57:21 am
That's too bad, I'm rather fond of Bridget. BTW, that nun with the white hair and the chick stabbing the guy in the neck are both the same character.

It's a personal rule of mine to always post a bit of art with all of my replies in art related threads. This one is unfinished, but I also think it's a perfect example of a work in progress.

Another flyer design (this is about 15% of actual size). I had to bang this out in a hurry so it's not quite as polished as I'd like, but the client's graciously given me an extra couple of days to fix it up. I'm playing with some screentones at the moment, they're wicked fun!

Drawing guitars, on the other hand, is a fuckin' nightmare. It's not fair! I've played the damn things for a decade! Why aren't they easier to draw?

J'ai fini.

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y38/ltoomey/flyer2_web_shaded.jpg)

That weird grille effect on the speaker is a side-effect of resizing the screentone for web; it's a regular pattern on the print version.
Title: Re: ART THREAD
Post by: Glamador on April 16, 2008, 12:00:25 am
The grille in the smaller one posted above or the larger more recent one?  Because the newer one looks like a real mesh used to cover speakers.
Title: Re: ART THREAD
Post by: Toom on April 16, 2008, 12:07:02 am
I meant on the larger one; it's basically a repeating 4x4px screentone pattern. You see how there're darker-looking columns and rows in there? That's the effect I was talking about; the full-size print version has a more uniform look.

The grille on the smaller one is bloody awful, literally ten seconds stabbing away with the line tool so I'd at least have something to show the client.

Thank you Aphasoldier, I used to paint a lot of fantasy stuff a few years ago but art college set me on another track but I keep thinking that I should paint a few more when I get the time? When I'm not playing Aquaria and learning watercolours that is lol

Someone needs to make an Aquaria mod with that character in it.

That would be totally awesome, I wonder what abilities they would give him? I tried to start a digital painting baised on Aquaria last night but I gave up after a short while. I think that I need to rethink it out?

The only problem is that I'm not sure if the name Cithulu can be used in that way, but perhaps because my version is very differen't to the original, then I'm pretty sure that this version can but he would need another name to prevent character stealing claims. I am prepared to allow my version being used but just so long as I get a mention has being the character's original designer as it would only be a mod. :D
