Poems? I write poems!

Can't promise good quality though =P

The blind men cluster round the thing,
Seeking to touch,
Touching to learn,
One man finds it wide and strong,
A pillar, perhaps, or an arch,
And here, the thing is thin, like paper...
But no, the others are fools!
The third man holds a rope!
The argument continues, and the elephant gazes at them,
As they touch it legs, its trunk, its ears, and its tail,
All of them blind, all of them wrong

Soar high in the sky on wings of fire,
If you cannot fly, run free,
If the waters rise, swim with grace,
If you sink, dive to unknown depths,
If you drown, your spirit will fly high

That. Is. Amazing.

I am highly impressed, especially with the flower and outfit

Working on another 3D Competition. Those in the games design, might have heard of it: Dominance War. Anyway, I started sculpting today. Here's the basemesh and the sculpt (I'm a 3d nerd and I need professional help)

I haven't posted anything in this thread for at least a page, so I should probably fix that...

Yesterday I took a stab at video editing and made a trailer for a contest being held by developer Hi-Rez Entertainment for an upcoming game of theirs. Normally I don't consider "fan trailers" to be anywhere near being "art", but I think I created a very dramatic mood that makes it really compelling.

"A Broken World"

In the meantime I'll post some more of my photography after I go out and shoot something else noteworthy.

Trying to keep this thread alive,

Well done on the trailer. It looks like an interesting game.
No need to try and keep this thread alive, it will stay alive as long as there are people who have it bookmarked and check it constantly (that's what I do) and who post when they can (I'm in crunch time so I can't really these days).
Incidentally, Vanguard, I had a dream involving your avatar. One of the strangest I've had in a while...

Like this will ever die.

Good work with the video, though I must nitpick because you use the word "world" in two or three (I think) consecutive frames. It's a bit repetitive, and very uptight of me to point out, but I figured you want criticism more than "Damn, that's awesome."

Not to mention the game itself is called Broken World (4 times?).

Actually the game is Global Agenda.

Ahh yes silly me. I always misread things. Things blend together in my mind. It happens...right?
Actually it doesn't happen when you read properly, Fightgarr... dammit.

Well to start, any text after the explosion and the rise in the music is taken from trailers already made by Hi-Rez, so it kinda didn't occur to me that the word world was there three damn times. I was more worried about getting everything to sync up. Hehe... whoops...

Oh, and do you care to explain this?

It was nothing weird. I just vividly remember your avatar being a part of my dream... I think you were part of the comic Invincible. Or do you mean why was that in white at the bottom of my post?
I've started to do this to pretty much every post I make.

In the interest of promoting more discussion and keeping this thread updated with new art I guess I'll post the brother image to the one I submitted not so long ago (i.e. My current avatar)
I realize a lot of the issues that are there but feel free to tear it a new one, because you may have caught some of the issues that didn't. Just please bear in mind that with this piece I was going for speed rather than effect.
I'm not sure which one of these two guys I like better but I think the one I have as my avatar turned out a little nicer.

I posted this in an entirely different thread a while back, but for those who haven't seen it, this is my most recent bit of work:

I also have this older one I did based on the song Lake Pontchartrain by Ludo:

And just in case you thought I was completely incapable of human figures, there's this one I did based on a book cover:

just photoshop dude its gonna be alot more in your face when i do the lighting but i tend to do all the midtones first and then work on light and shadow when the entire image is done
Awww... See, I'm going for the all natural approach... so-to-speak. I thought maybe some sweet color pencil job ;) But, hey too each his own!

BTW: For the OP or anyone else who would know, would it be appropriate to post excerpts from a book I'm writing? or is the thread for drawings and the sort?
