The artist in thee

[Jonluw]

So I've been reading a lot of Mahou sensei Negima lately and was inspired to do a little drawing.

Spoiler

Aargh, why does it get so pixelated?

Something about the perspective looks wonky to me :/
If anyone has any insight as to why that is, I would love to hear it.

I wish I had a drawing tablet. Whenever I want to do image editing, I have to make do with my touchpad.

Just thought that I'd post some backgrounds/large art here:

Very nice quality of line, and a great sense of personality. The monkey one is my personal favorite of them. If I may suggest something, your pieces are very horizontal/vertical in their compositions. Most of the action takes place perpendicular to the viewer in them. Try throwing in some diagonals, some objects or characters behind or in front. It will bring a more dynamic element to the image and establish a better sense of depth.

I haven't done an art dump on here in a while, so here are a bunch of new things. Almost all of them are from different weeklies on ConceptArt.org.

Spoiler: Creature of the Week entries for rounds 202, 205 and 206

Round 202: The Mating Ritual

Round 205: Bioluminescent Inverebrate

Round 206: Goblin's Best Friend

Spoiler: Environment of the Week 160

In the Hall of the Mountain King

Spoiler: Industrial Design of the Week 160

The Boat over the River of Styx (Carnival/Theme Park style in this case)

Can ya' tell I love Grim Fandango?

Spoiler: A few doodles related to the D&D campaign I run

A recurring villain from the campaign, this is his third incarnation. Done in about an hour and a half on photoshop...

A poster I did for one of my players' birthday of her character riding their faithful mount*.

A poster I did for the party as a present, it show the original party we started with 2 and a half years ago. Only the guy in the middle and the guy on the far right are still alive.

* Now deceased.

Thanks for the compliment, it's great to finally be able to show my drawings online.

I know the compositions are very straightforward, but that's because I usually just start drawing a face and then continue for there. I'm not very good at compositing different angles and certainly not if it's coupled with an entire detailed background. When I try to create actual depth, things can easily start to look a little wonky. I already have a hard time drawing a character with his arm reaching toward the viewer.

I didn't actually come up with that monkey concept myself. I read a report once many years ago in a medical book about experiments they did with young orpened macaques and these surrogate mother dummies. It always stuck in my mind. I made it for an assignment where I had to design postcards with the subtext being "love".

Your drawings are pretty terrific themselves. I love that wizard riding the green ox.

I've been lurking this thread for ages but now I finally am willing to post in it.

Spoiler

I dunno how long I've been drawing for, I have art back when I thought drawing on lined paper was acceptable for a comic (Like what? 3 days ago? trololol!) but recently I've finally gotten to doing something with it.

Most of my pics are done in MS Paint, like the one above.

My first thought is: Awesome. Second is: HOLY FUCKNUGGETS, THAT WAS DONE IN PAINT? Seriously, that multiplies the awesome by 7.

lol Thank you. It nearly killed me to draw that.

 

[PancakesSUCKTHEYDO]

I cannot draw worth shit.

A couple images from the D&D game I started running a few months ago.

Spoiler: The Mysterious Employer

The players responded to a "help wanted" note on the local bounty board and found themselves hired by this gentleman. I believe he described himself as a "preserved foods merchant." Which is, of course, why the job ended with a firefight in some warlord's fortress.

Spoiler: Redeye

Early concept for one of the game's villains.

 

[Pig Mazurka]

Spoiler

A doodle I did a little while ago.

The paper's all shitty because it was from an old sketch book that had water dumped on it years ago.

Cartoons<3

 

[Chemical Alia]

A 3d scene I've been working on. I tore off the textures a few times, and keep going back and adding more geometry. It'd be cool if I could set up a few renders from different angles of the street as a final goal.

Spoiler

Besides that I've just been doing stupid fanart stuff for fun.

Spoiler

 

[Yokai]

Here's some rough concept art I did for a game my friends and I are putting together.

Spoiler

This next one was an attempt at Photoshop painting, something I still don't have a solid grip on.

 

[Fightgarr]

A couple more creatures, from the past couple weeks:

Spoiler: Creature of the Week #207 The Healer

Spoiler: Creature of the Week #208 Titan War Beast

 

[Viking Incognito]

I would contribute some of my writing but I only ever write Short Stories or occasionally playing with an idea that I could expand into a novel. So what I'm saying is my stuff is too long.

 

[Vault101]

Im sure there are plenty of steampunk enthusists to tell me "Im doing it wrong" for that I aplogise

I intend to expand this into a biger picure (you know with a background and everything)

Who says we have to paint on flat surfaces?

I got bored with my bass being plain black, so I decided to put some decor on there.

Spoiler

Jeez, I need to clean the fingerprints off that thing...

 

[Jonluw]

Noone else has posted since April? Huh...

Spoiler: Well, here goes: A few drawings I've done in the last month.

Why does the escapist pixelate my drawings so?

I like the contrast between the first and last drawing...

 

[Fightgarr]

I guess it's been a while since I posted some creatures. Here's two recent ones:

Spoiler: creatures

Red-Hot Speckled, Rock Muncher

Faberge Dragon
