The Triumvirate of Evil.the monopoly guy post=18.72805.782939 said:
The Unholy Alliance of NewClassic, Ares Tyr and Myself.
I just thought about it, turns out the acronym for our evil Triumvirate is T.O.E
So with that in mind, here's the banner for our shadowy organisation.
And on topic... uh, I made this thing ^

Oh gosh, you've found me out. Well, that's it for this universe. I guess I'll just call up the Doctor and be off to another one. Get my freak arse out of here.meatloaf231 post=18.72805.782783 said:
That's some pretty awesome stuff there, even if it was done in photoshop. Excellent use of that one bit of colour. Really focuses the eye there.Zemalac post=18.72805.782911 said:Well, I don't have much of my stuff at hand, but I suppose I could put up something...
I'd love to claim that I inked this by hand. Most of it was done in Photoshop (man, I love that program).
Again, nice work. I definitely prefer the Planet one, because for some odd reason the whole astrology and planets fascinates me. Good strength in the details, and use of light.Landslide post=18.72805.782944 said:Here's an illustration:

NewClassic, your dads work is fantastic. Hatching is a ***** at the best of times, and the patience that must go into that is phenomenal. Textures are just irritating for the most part, one advantage of using thick-weave paper.
I'm self-taught. For the most part it was just a matter of learning to look at things in a different way, and teach my hand to follow the shapes I saw.
And really, for those who think I draw the best of anything, you should see this [http://fc62.deviantart.com/fs31/i/2008/202/4/e/Paul_Newman_by_Hongmin.jpg] on DeviantArt. It breaks my artistic ego into a million glittery pieces.
Since everyone is asking for opinions here are mine:
I was totally in that boat.
Most of the sketches/ Drawings I have seen on this thread are totally what I have done (and did on my own for fun) in High school and College. If you keep drawing, you'll watch yourself progress and amaze yourself (I did that to myself. Would start drawing, and then coming back to it a day later would go- wtf? I did that?!)
Well, off topic- here we go.
Labrynth: Your Shading and contrasting is really good. You have lights and darks down. Are you using a live model for these pictures, or a magazine picture? Magazine are flat, and flatten out the model, so sometimes, the translation can get skewered- watch out!
Don't be afraid to either get rid of all your lines, or translate everything into line work. (the lack of definition around your face in the profile picture could be worked a bit more)
Ares tyr: (D&D name?): You have really good ideas! You are good at translating what you see onto paper. The trick with anime art is, as with all art, when you are going to deform the human body in the name of a style, you have to know how to form the human body first. Study the human body/shape/anatomy a bit more, and you will notice your anime style becoming more developed (in the way you want)
For other photoshop users: Be warned! Filters aren't that cool. They are a trap!

As many of you know, I'm a conceptual artist in my spare time. It's a passion I've had for several years now and I'm having my first installation premiered at the end of the month at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts for anyone interested.
Anyhow, what I'm primarily focused on is the downfall of western civilization through commercialism, and how this has led to the sick and twisted label-self identification that I display in my works.
For example, it now possible to know about a person from simply what they throw out, because we do not drive commercialism and consumerism but rather it informs our individual identities. Our identity has been so caught up in what brands we have and what we eat that we become the brands.
Now we are faced with a world where our very core selves are informed by objects, and this is the subject of most of my work. Check out the sample below.
Let us see, who can spot the irony.

Feedback! Excellent! I'd give some in return, but I'm not that much of an art critic. All I can say is that your drawings are vaguely creepy and well drawn. Not particularly helpful.Labyrinth post=18.72805.783399 said:That's some pretty awesome stuff there, even if it was done in photoshop. Excellent use of that one bit of colour.

I'll try to scrounge up some more of my stuff. This cascade of awesomeness being posted is making me want to show off by own works.
Sorry to have to ask again, but I just really want to know how to post my own pictures, can someone please tell me?
I wrote a guide for that on a thread that is now locked. Feel free to take a look at it, though.mydogisblue post=18.72805.784998 said:
