Re: The New Artist's Thread
So, does one have to be a painter to be a part of this group?
I'm actually only recently getting back into doing some art. I've been content to play with photoshop for a long time (and having babies kinda gets in the way of busting out all the pencil and paper on a regular basis).
My preferred genre of art is in cartoon/comic... I also like illustrating (or at least the idea of it). I don't ever see myself getting into painting, though I'd like to become a better sketch artist. And my skill level is major n00b... but here is some of my work (very rough):
(older) Self-portrait:
Some of my attempts at comic style:
This is inspired by a friend's virtual series, Star Trek: Frontiers. This is Captain Kyle Sito who is a Spiran (made up race by my friend):
And I toyed once with doing a comic strip based on Star Trek: Frontiers. This is Commander Bruce Andrade:
Currently I'm doing a "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" workshop. But I really need to get some classes.

Not bad. That robot looks familiar somehow. And the second character has a bit of a Mike Mignola vibe.

Re: The New Artist's Thread
The first robot is quite iconic and featured in the animated Japanese movie, Laputa: Castle in the Sky.

Thank you.
And here's some corridor drawings that have a video-game concept art/action comic book vibe:

Re: The New Artist's Thread
Heh. I like Slender Man. Very creepy.
And that painting really draws me in. I'd like to walk along that path.

Re: The New Artist's Thread
My Slender Man has gone down well, but what do you think of my Zombie Santa and the MGS-style corridors?

Re: The New Artist's Thread
Although I can see the same styling in all of them, I just find that the Slender Man is really exuding something that the others lack. It's much more dynamic.
Though I will say that I love the dichotomy of the bright colors and the darker subject of zombie Santa.

Re: The New Artist's Thread
I liked the others, too, I just liked Slender Man the best. In the first picture, I especially like the bearded figure, and in the second I like that the perspective is not from eye level, which is something else I struggle with in my own art. And Zombie Santa is funny; I agree with Ruaidhri that the color scheme is striking.
