Author Topic: Show us your Artwork! Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 03-21-2004 06:57 PM                        It is a well known fact that artists of any kind are pathetic losers. So it should come as absolutely no surprise to anyone that I have an artistic side. But I want to see everyone else's drawings/paintings/digital art/turd sculptures/whatever. I also like threads with lots of pics in them because they piss off dial-up users (who DESERVE to be pissed off ) I will start off by showing my crappy work from years ago! The following drawings I did when I was 16-17 years old. They were scanned by fellow forum member Jeff Skallan. I darkened them a bit in Adobe PhotoDeluxe back in the day, so they appear much "dirtier" than they really are. I don't own a scanner. This is a drawing I did of Bugs Bunny and Roger Rabbit. It was a few years after the Roger Rabbit movie came out. I have no idea what I was trying to convey here, maybe just that Bugs is better. Not too happy with this one, but I guess it's OK. Just seems to lack structure. I think this was based on an ad for some stupid computer game (I've never been into computer games, just video games). I dunno. Looks kind of sloppy to me and I HATE how I drew the clouds. Terminator 2! I like this one a lot. I drew it a few months after I saw the movie. I can't remember what this dragon is from. The only thing that pops into my head when I think about it is "FCI" and I have no clue what "FCI" is. Anyway I like this drawing, you should too. Ah the trusty ninja! This is actually a character from a comic strip series that I drew in high school. He is known as "Brian Rasmussen the Ninja". I am disappointed in how I handled the hands here, but I like the rest of the drawing a lot. I have no idea what is holding his sword up! I do all of my drawings with the same mechanical pencil that I've had forvever and still do. Anyway I have a lot more drawings, most of them are much bigger and some are in color, and certainly more recent. But I can't scan them because Jeff is too cheap to get a giant scanner for me to do it! So let's see what you people have to offer now!  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA... Nowhere in Particular.

It runs fine on WIN 95, 98, 98SE, and 2000.  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN! Posts: 1219 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: Nov 2003 posted 03-21-2004 08:42 PM                        Wow!!! You're an artist... That is such a turn on... Seriously, we need to hook up. I bet most of you who have been to my homepage have already seen some of my artwork... But for those who haven't here are couple. This was for my AP ART 3 Composition. I did this piece about 3 years ago, using oil pastel. Another AP ART 3 Composition. Kind of creepy looking back on it. Reminds me of Chucky, I don't know what I was thinking when I drew it. This one was from 2 years ago, also using oil pastel and pen.

However, I think it may be harsh to get on the case, intentionally, of dial-up users ... I mean, we were all there, once. Right? Tori Amos, one of the fifty portraits I've done of her.

Before I was born, he did a short stint at Walter Lantz Studios. I don't know his job but I think he worked either as a "In-Betweener" or an "Ink & Paint Man". By the time I got old enough to understand these kinds of things he was too far gone. (C2H6O) All I remember is that he could draw an AWESOME "Wally Walrus" or "Chilly Willy"! I did get the art gene from him but I go for photography. (He did photography too. Here's one of my favorites: This is NOT a Photoshop job! It's a real photograph. If you come to my house I will show you the negative. What you see on the negative is precicely what you see on the print. (Print exposure and contrast adjustments notwithstanding.) There are three giveaways in this picture. They are glaringly obvious to me but nobody else has ever picked them out until I have showed them. Even my photography teacher, who knew how I did it, couldn't pick out the flaws.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 03-21-2004 09:30 PM                        Jen - The "film" drawing looks familiar but I think I must of missed the other one on your web page. I love the color in the oil pastel one. Michael/Brain/whatever your name is - Excellent likeness of Tore my Anu.. err... Tori Amos. Of course if you've drawn her a billion times I imagine you can do it without looking at a pics by now. The Natalie Portman one only vaguely resembles her. The technique is good, though. Does Kinko's do scanning? I'd like to scan my bigger stuff especially for posterity. They are open 24 hours a day so that'll give me something to do tonight if this is possible. Should I bring blank CDs or something? quote: Randy wrote: What you see on the negative is precicely what you see on the negative.

I don't think so! So I took pictures of a few things with my digital camera to see how they would come out... the results are less than perfect but you'll get the idea. Grim Reaper! I love this drawing. I need to get it framed or something. I think this is my favorite. God it looks like crap in this digital file! This is a skecth I did of me sketching myself while I sat in detention at one point in high school. I drew this for a local video game shop back in the day. It hung there until they closed. Now it collects dust. Back in the day I was a much bigger fan of videogames than I am now, and I'd do drawings that represented the games (re: fan art). This one is cool, but I think I like my Thunder Force III drawing (not shown) a little better. I just made this up from scratch one day in class when I should have been paying attention instead. This place does not exist, and that's one reason I really like it.  |  IP: Logged Luciano Brigite Master Film Handler Posts: 277 From: Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-21-2004 11:13 PM                     That dragon drawing reminds me of one of the several D&D/AD&D artwork I did see in some artbooks. the dragon's pose looks about the same . *goes back to assembling the 3x5' poster e made of said drawing..* Dragons and other reptile-like creatures are my kind of thing good work that one. and no.. I can't even draw stick figures  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 03-22-2004 12:47 AM                     I suppose I could have grabbed some of my artsy-fartsy paintings out of the attic (not to mention the fact I just didn't feel like climbing up there to get the stuff), so I uploaded some drawings that are a little more "fun." I made this pencil sketch of Spike Lee back when I was in art school. It's just a pencil sketch, but Spike's attitude seems to come through. Maybe someday I'll vector digitize it so I can have a slick looking color version. I made this M1 tank illustration when our first war in Iraq happened. Mixed media (airbrush, inks & pencils on Letramax illustration board). This is a caricature of relief pitcher Dennis Eckersly. I hate most of my old art (which is a healthy attitude for any artist to have), but I still like this one for some odd reason. Maybe it's the look of concentration on his face. Like Joe, I was obsessed with video games when I was a teenager, but I became more interested in making the technology that drives the games better. I actually sent this drawing in with a bunch of other stuff to companies like Zenith in 1992 as suggestions for what they need to do with developing things like HDTV, virtual reality and multi-channel surround sound. This is a piece I did for the business club I'm in. We have a roast for a prominent Oklahoma business man coming up Friday. Too bad the material won't be as "blue" as a Friar's Club Roast. But maybe it will be funny anyway. Most of the artwork I make these days gets finished in the computer. This one started out as a pencil sketch. Then I scanned and digitized it in Photoshop and took the vectors over into apps like Illustrator and CorelDRAW for further tweaking and type treatment.  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!

I'm definitely not an artist compared to you guys. I'm inspired to get back into making artwork. After 2 years of avoiding it and not caring for it I might actually pick up a paintbrush. NOT! Maybe a 4B pencil... Or a mechanical pencil like Joe  |  IP: Logged Christopher Duvall Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 500 From: Denver, CO Registered: Dec 1999 posted 03-22-2004 03:14 AM                     Joe pretty much pegged all of us...of course I could not resist either showing my true colors as well. I have always loved art but rarely sketched or drew. Anything I have done by hand is long gone. However computer based art has been a bit of a minor hobby of mine. I have been dabbling for the last few years with POV-Ray along with a photoshop knock off, Paint Shop Pro. This was my first foray into it. This one is one of more recent versions I have done of The Lament Configuration. This is something I did this last week for a project for ShoWest. I have also started to dabble in serious digital photography with a Canon Digital Rebel. I so love that camera.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.
