I've been messing around with my tablet lately. After a good 12 hours of work I produced this. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Some of you may know that I want to go into concept art, this was the first step in the right direction I've had in a while. Anyway, its called "Master of the Hunt".

That's really good actually. I think there should be a little more contrast around the 'eyes' though, they could use standing out.

I can agree with that. Its the lighting issues that were plaguing me. I think it will be fixed when I convert it into colour at another time.

The woman looks like you went to painstaking lengths to make her look realistic, yet like a doll.

Unfortunately, I have nothing impressive to show, really. All I really have are concepts:

A story of Bill, an all American boy who would seem like the perfect son, back in the 50s. He has an ordinary, loving sister, and a pair of proud parents. One day, Bill meets Caleb, a liberal who despises America and everything it stands for. As the film progresses, Bill becomes more and more a liberal and soon runs away to live with caleb and his squatting hippy band. I'm still trying to debate how to end this, but everything else is clear
The film starts with various stock footage of San Fransico, Gay pride parades, and various other gay things. Prior to the beggining of the story, there is a short scene of what a "typical" homosexual looks and acts like. It then cuts to Bob asking Jill to go on a date, Jill refuses stating that she just wants to be friends for now. After about minute of sulking, Bob meets Jack. Bob and Jack become fast friends, but Jack later turns out to be a homosexual. Bob unknowingly gets indoctrinated into the homosexual lifestyle, with the final clue of this being him refusing Jill's invitation to a dinner party with her parents. The final shot is that of Bob and Jack entering a bedroom. While Jack is closing the door, he breaks the fourth wall and gives an evil stare.

I'll post more when I have the time.

If I've done my job right, then every male should be feeling a tad uncomfortable right now

I suppose you did not because I did not feel anything, although I will say you are good artist.

I always wished I could draw however I had despised drawing growing up and never bothered to learn, nonetheless my talent is literary work. I really ought to begin working on my old projects, I have placed them on a hiatus for over a year now. Anyhow I'll post the link to where I decided to start keeping a few lately since even my short work has a tendency to be quite long and I would rather not clog the topic.

Please keep in mind they are a rough draft about a character I was to use on a roleplaying sim.

Well, here it is. The final colored image that I've been procrastinating/working hard on.
A colored version of an image I posted earlier in this thread.

Awesome. He even has the black metal scowl going, for all he lacks the appropriate eyeliner and eyeshadow.

Figgered I might as well post couple of mine...


That one (like, unfortunately, most of my recent renderings) was actually done for work - it was intended to show off the armor and sword I had recently finished.


This is an oooold sculpt I had done (ignore the dirty fingernails, I had just come in from the yard, working, when I took the pic). A company I had connections with was going to try to make a 15mm scale tabletop wargame of Aliens vs Predators vs Marines. Unfortunately, the game fell through when the rights were determined to be a complete mess, and though they had been promised them, they could not secure them. That was intended to be an Alien Queen, pre-separated to be molded in three parts - the body, the crest, and the tail. I used Kneadite putty (aka Greenstuff) on a paperclip 'skeleton'.

This one is a link, because the image is just too big:

WARNING! NOT SAFE FOR WORK!

Click on the picture to see the full sized image.

This was actually an entry in a contest judged by Frank Frazetta Jr, to re-create his father's style in 3D. I made it to the top 30 (out of about 750 entries or so), but otherwise didn't place.

That's just cool. I made a 3D model awhile back for a school project:


Currently I've been whipping out small avatars for my friends, attempting to portray their personality, likes, interests.

Hey, think I'd be able to score an Avatar? Those are pretty sweet.
Perhaps, depends on who wins the Jan/Feb art competition... if you get my drift.

But seriously, sure. Once I've finished my entry I think I'll work on one. May I add you to MSN? I may need some more inspiration other than posts about male sexism and human evolution.

Oh, it's nice to see other Escapists being artistically inclined : D
I myself is currently taking an art course in Oslo, Norway, and for those who're (if any xP) interested in seeing some of my work, I humbly ask to visit my DeviantArt site ( www.spitfiremarka1.deviantart.com ), seeing as I'm too lazy to put up everything here in spoiler tags xD (Which I dunno how to apply yet either... *noobish me*)

Early on in my gallery you'll see mostly pencil drawings, until I started experimenting in Photoshop, eventually buying my much beloved Wacom tablet, and is now a steadfast Photoshop user XD;

Also, my gallery is heavily fantasy related, so you're warned! XP

A while ago I went to a concert by Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Ros. The lead guitarist snapped the cello bow he was using at one point, and tossed it into the crowd. I scored myself a sizable chunk, and not very long after, made the necklace below. It's special.



Waxed cotton, wood beads and the end of a bow. Ohhh yeahh.
