Sorry, a little discombobulated the last couple of days. Those are all very good, although Eliza Dushku's eyes could use a little work. My favorites are the Lovecraftian Horror and the Old Man. The body language on the solider and the woman is very smooth and natural.
Re: The New Artist's Thread
These in no way fit the definition of "new," as they're from an art class about five years ago, but I figure somebody should see them. It was a figure drawing course, and for the midterm and final we had to pick a photo and reproduce it by hand, the first using the grid method and the second using an overhead projector to lay down the basic lines.
Here's the classroom wall with (some) of the projects:
I did Liv Tyler and my brother drew Audrey Hepburn next to her.
Closeup of Liz:
The "grid method" midterm:
I used a Time magazine cover for that one, though I don't remember the issue. Early in the class, we also reproduced our eyes from staring in a mirror. Mine:
I'm mildly surprised at how well I can draw when I try; I've not practiced much since that class and I'm pretty sure I'm back to stick-figure level now.
Oh, for shits and giggles, here's an image that was sitting in my imageshack account from a few months back when I was testing Lightwave's physically-based dielectric material nodes:
(Sorry for the thread stretch.)
It's a reproduction of a little ceramic lizard I had which I made back when I was learning to model, resurfaced with glass and set in a studio lightbox environment. I couldn't figure out how to get the raytracing to penetrate all the way through the material, which is why there are all those funny little black spots throughout it.

Wow good stuff - are you in art college?

Re: The New Artist's Thread
No -- it was at a community college for fun, and had little to do with my eventual major, which was Media Communications. Kinda wish I had been an art major, but everywhere that's dedicated to that was way out of my price range.

Wow, what a waste.
You've inspired me to sketch bits of my face and body:

^^ Very surreal.
That's amazing artwork, Gep. You should keep up with it. Love the little lizard, too.
Good work, as usual, Ted. I like that curvy building.

I based it on a fantasy painting by Don Maitz.
I've also copied Maitz's dragon painting.
Which I'll post later.
