Time for more of NewClassic being pretentious full of himself helpful?
To RAKtheUndead
As I suggested, you very clearly lack the practice to be showing the level of detail you're aiming for. As such, you really should practice the smaller, easier stuff before going onto concept art and the like. Especially when dealing with technology, considering how very detail oriented they are. Especially in concept-format you've drawn.
To practice, I'd say start by drawing machinery you can look at. Sit down in front of something, like a little robo-spider [http://cell18189.tripod.com/robots/Pictures/SpiderRobot.jpg] and draw it exactly as you see it. Look very carefully as what connects where, how it connects, and why it connects. When you come to understand the machinery from an artistic standpoint, then you can really get the groundwork for the more complicated stuff. Start small, it's always the best place to start.
To The Monopoly Guy
Your drawing was interesting, but that's not much else to say on it. It's foreground-intensive, it lacks shading, and doesn't have a lot of definition to it. The fact that you have to label it means you're not expressing the image, artistically, that you're trying to. The best way to fix this is probably to reference everything. Seriously, everything.
To ThaBenMan
You angular line-work reminds me quite a bit of Samurai Jack. I like the simplicity and still the attention to detail. The only thing I can suggest is practice more on shading, as well as referencing humans (although, oddly, only those facing the point of view. The 3/4 folks are fine). I absolutely love the fish people. Seriously, they're awesome.
That's it for me, more to come later after I eat.

Yeah, the dinosaur skull is pretty sweet. And I like the stumpy thing, it's funny, a clever idea.the monopoly guy post=18.72805.785691 said:I don't think anyone looked at mine either. They were bad but at least the last one was ok. I think.ThaBenMan post=18.72805.785515 said:Has anybody looked at my stuff?The link is back on pg. 2... it's cool, though. It sucks.
And NewClassic, thank you for the feedback. I agree with your suggestions for improvement. I very rarely work with any sort of reference, so some things are bound to be off. And I just plain don't like shading XD I wish I could show you some stuff from classes where I was forced to shade and draw from life (and the stuff in that link is over 6 yrs old, I like to think I've improved quite a lot).
I like your coffee shop pic, reminds me of this time I had to draw the interior of the student union for class once.
And Enskie, very nice stuff there! I especially love the drawing of the warrior. And your photoshop stuff is very cool, that's the sort of stuff I'm ignorant of and would love to learn about.
Ok, I also did some poetry a while back (ok, I still dabble in it).
Those are about 1/8th of the songs, and there's at least 100+ poems (other than songs)in assorted formats that I haven't put up here. If you want the rest, then they can be found here: http://enskie.deviantart.com/.
Endeavour? Whatever
You think that you?re so clever
I?d love to live another day
But I can?t live my life this way
I love you, so it?s your way
should I go or should I stay
I?ll not wait, until my dying days
I?ll go with a bang into the evening rays
** Chorus **
Endeavour? Whatever
You think that you?re so clever
Just tell me, if so clever
Why bother to endeavour
Endeavour? Whatever
You think that you?re so clever
Just tell me, if so clever
Why bother to endeavour
** Chorus **
If I died
Would you cry
even let out a sigh
And if so, then why
I wouldn?t bother to try
So why would you bother to lie
** Chorus **

Hear No Evil
All I can do is sit here
Another day, another call
All these sighs, all these lies
And listen to it all
** Chorus **
And I never wanted to know
All these stories I hear
But they don?t know I?m listening
When they speak without fear
** Chorus **
Joe is one the regulars
I know his story by heart
It?s the same one he tells everyday
Because he?s made lying his art
And he thinks that she?ll never guess
?Cause his wife pretends she doesn?t know
So everyday she listens to the lies
?Cause she?s afraid and she can?t let him go
** Chorus **
And I never wanted to know
All these stories I hear
But they don?t know I?m listening
When they speak without fear
** Chorus **
And I listen to Danny talk to no one
Because he just can?t make the call
Even though she loves him so dearly
But he?s afraid that he?ll ruin it all
And everyday he just sits at the payphone
But he never quite makes it to the dial
I think one day I?ll do it for him
And he?ll be happy for my use of guile
** Chorus **
And I never wanted to know
All these stories I hear
But they don?t know I?m listening
When they speak without fear
** Chorus **
And nobody knows...
Nobody knows...
Nobody knows...
About me...
All I can do is sit here
Another day, another call
All these sighs, all these lies
And listen to it all
** Chorus **
And I never wanted to know
All these stories I hear
But they don?t know I?m listening
When they speak without fear

About me...
Don?t you know?
Don?t you know?
Don?t you know ?
Don?t you know how pretty she is?
With tears of razor blades
Her reflection never fades
Isn?t she just like a picture?
Smiling daggers at you
With bleeding eyes of blue
And she?s just so perfect
She?s got suicide notes for
The day that she?s no more
** Chorus **
And don?t you know?
Just what you?ve done?
Lost the match but said you won
And don?t you know?
Just how it goes?
Write a play but no one shows
** Chorus **
You?re singing bliss
And all the while
You?re dying with a smile
You?ve signed for a loss
But won?t sign for her
It?s a day to remember
And now you see her face
Those bleeding blues
And razor truths
** Chorus **
And don?t you know?
Just what you?ve done?
Lost the match but said you won
And don?t you know?
Just how it goes?
Write a play but no one shows
** Chorus **
The final day has died
In your arms, a suicide
Many thanks to cyanide
And serenity comes easy
To those who died in pain
Or spent a life in vain
Don?t you know?
Don?t you know ?
Don?t you know how pretty she is?
With tears of razor blades
Her reflection never fades
Isn?t she just like a picture?
Smiling daggers at you
With bleeding eyes of blue
And she?s just so perfect
She?s got suicide notes for
The day that she?s no more
** Chorus **
And don?t you know?
Just what you?ve done?
Lost the match but said you won
And don?t you know?
Just how it goes?
Write a play but no one shows
** Chorus **
You?re singing bliss
And all the while
You?re dying with a smile
You?ve signed for a loss
But won?t sign for her
It?s a day to remember
And now you see her face

And razor truths
** Chorus **
And don?t you know?
Just what you?ve done?
Lost the match but said you won
And don?t you know?
Just how it goes?
Write a play but no one shows

The final day has died
In your arms, a suicide
Many thanks to cyanide
And serenity comes easy
To those who died in pain
Or spent a life in vain
One two three, here we go now
One two three, here we go now
One two three, here we go now
We?re alone in the crowd
Shout out but ain?t so loud
What are we gonna do
Psyche! It?s all a delusion
Another violent illusion
Screaming down Hell?s highway
Fear, the power of Eden
?Cause we?re still believin?
That we?ll make it someday
** Chorus **
We?re snorting coke, drinking wine
Let?s do it again just one more time
So we?ll forget about our sins
Let?s go shoot up, pop a pill
Whatever gets a thrill
So we?ll forget about life
** Chorus **
Heaven, it?s just a step away
But we didn?t make it, there today
And every step we take, we fall down
We?re just so deluded
Our minds are concluded
Think we know every-fuckin?-thing
I?m speeding down
The highway to the town
Of sinners, of the lost and damned
We live a lie
Don?t even try
To think
** Chorus **
We?re snorting coke, drinking wine
Let?s do it again just one more time
So we?ll forget about our sins
Let?s go shoot up, pop a pill
Whatever gets a thrill
So we?ll forget about our lives
** Chorus **
I?m out of my mind
Going blind
But fuck it, let?s do it again
Is it all a dream
Nothing?s what it seems
But maybe that?s just me
One two three, here we go now
One two three, here we go now
We?re alone in the crowd
Shout out but ain?t so loud
What are we gonna do
Psyche! It?s all a delusion
Another violent illusion
Screaming down Hell?s highway
Fear, the power of Eden
?Cause we?re still believin?
That we?ll make it someday
** Chorus **
We?re snorting coke, drinking wine
Let?s do it again just one more time
So we?ll forget about our sins
Let?s go shoot up, pop a pill

And every step we take, we fall down
We?re just so deluded

Don?t even try

So we?ll forget about our lives
** Chorus **
I?m out of my mind
Going blind
But fuck it, let?s do it again
Is it all a dream
Nothing?s what it seems
But maybe that?s just me
I don?t know what I?d do
Yeah, I don?t know what I?d do
If I couldn?t be near you
Couldn?t be near you...
I wish I could kiss away your fears
And I wish I were your tears
Born in your eyes, die on your lips
Wrapped around your fingertips
And it?s never what it seems
Just a figment of my dreams
But you?ve always been so kind
Now I can?t remove you from my mind
** Chorus **
I need to know for once
I need to know for sure
I have to know for me
I have to know for all
It?s not a choice I want to make
It?s not a choice I want to take
But there?s nothing else to say
But there is no other way
** Chorus **
I?ve never once had you
Lord help me, that much is true
But you?ve always had me
Though you just can?t see
But that?s the way it needs to stay
That way, day after day
Because if you ever knew
Then I couldn?t be true
One more lie would pass these lips
So that I wouldn?t have to take the hits
Since I?ve never played the leader
Always been the quiet little reader
** Chorus **
I need to know for once
I need to know for sure
I have to know for me
I have to know for all
It?s not a choice I want to make
It?s not a choice I want to take
But there?s nothing else to say
But there is no other way
** Chorus **
I?m fading now, since you forget
That I am here, but no regret
Because I?m still waiting
I?m still anticipating
That day when you wake up
I?m not asking for a breakup
Just to say to your face
Something that?s not in my place
But I can?t hold my tongue for long
Though I know that I am wrong
It?s not my place to say ?I love you?
But nothing else would be true
** Chorus **
I need to know for once
I need to know for sure
I have to know for me
I have to know for all
It?s not a choice I want to make
It?s not a choice I want to take
But there?s nothing else to say
But there is no other way
** Chorus **
I wish that I believed in us
But I?ve never seen the walrus
That they sung about a few years ago
So I knew I?d never know
What we could have been
If only you had seen...
If only you had seen...
Yeah, I don?t know what I?d do
If I couldn?t be near you
Couldn?t be near you...
I wish I could kiss away your fears
And I wish I were your tears
Born in your eyes, die on your lips
Wrapped around your fingertips
And it?s never what it seems
Just a figment of my dreams
But you?ve always been so kind
Now I can?t remove you from my mind
** Chorus **

We?re cynical and critical
all we know is what we?re told
The hypocrisy of democracy
And we think we?re so bold
We?re generation x
Also called the walking dead
In an education rebellion
An army of poets, so well read
It?s a war on peace
Paranoia, so absurd
The truth is silent now
People censoring our every word
** Chorus **
Depression sessions
For troubled youths
Full of unsaid words
With hidden truths
It?s paranoia for the disturbed
The disturbia of the world
** Chorus **
All the faceless companies
A thousand accusations hurled

The death of terror
It?s just a theoretical
Invade Iran for oil
So far it?s just hypothetical?

The Unborn
Ever dying
Ever crying
Bleeding out our souls
We?re the unborn
We?re so forlorn
Never shall we die
We?ve never been alive
Yet we struggle to survive
We are the unborn
We?re selling out the sun
And now we?re on the run
We won?t pay for our crimes
** Chorus **
We are ever dying
Ever crying
Bleeding out our souls
We can?t hold on anymore
Hearts bleeding and raw
All for none and none for all
** Chorus **
How much longer
How much wronger
Will this world survive
We can?t hold on
So it?s so long
Goodbye from the unborn
We?re fighting for a cause
Supported by unjust laws
Why do we bother anymore
We?re fading away
We?re going astray
Just like the unborn
** Chorus **
We are ever dying
Ever crying
Bleeding out our souls
We can?t hold on anymore
Hearts bleeding and raw
All for none and none for all

They are the unborn
They are so forlorn

We are the unborn
I?ve suffered a thousand sins
Experienced unimaginable things
In the name of a God who wasn?t there
I?m heading forwards into the night
Running, running from the light
From a God who wasn?t there
I cried a million tears
Suffered a million fears
For a God who didn?t care
** Chorus **
I cried and lied, for Him
I tried and died, for Him
And in the end He didn?t care
Because He?s the God who wasn?t there
For him, a million times
For just a single sign
From the God who didn?t care
Because my God was never there
** Chorus **
In the end it all went up in flames
The children died in fire and pain
And through it all He watched us die
The mothers cried and fathers raged
Their sorrow and grief was not assuaged
Because their God had made them cry
The preachers cried ?Thy will be done!?
And the fools did follow ?Thy will be done!?
Following their priests into the flames
** Chorus **
I cried and lied, for Him
I tried and died, for Him
And in the end He didn?t care
Because He?s the God who wasn?t there
For him, a million times
For just a single sign
From the God who didn?t care
Because my God was never there
** Chorus **
When it came to end it all
God thought us so small
That he tossed us away
But we?ve never been alive
We?ve just been paralysed
Blindfolded and left for damned
Experienced unimaginable things
In the name of a God who wasn?t there
I?m heading forwards into the night
Running, running from the light
From a God who wasn?t there
I cried a million tears
Suffered a million fears
For a God who didn?t care

When your landlord is screaming
?Cause you ain?t paid your bills
Since you?re too busy dreaming
And out seeking thrills
And your best friends have left you
?Cause you?re always stoned
And there?s nothing you can do
When they repossess all that you owned
And there?s no point in crying
?Cause nobody cares
And when you feel like dying
But you just wouldn?t dare
And you?ve had a few drinks
?Cause you?re feeling like shit
And the regulars are sharing a wink
?Cause they know all about it
And the bartender knows
?Cause he?s seen it before
So he cuts you off
And you?re thrown out the door
And you?re asleep in the gutter
?Cause you don?t care about life
And the passers-by mutter
?Cause you used to have a wife
And the ambulance arrives
?Cause you had too much booze
Since paramedics save lives
Even ones with nothing to lose
And your friends come to see you
?Cause they?re supposed to
But there?s nothing to say
And no reason to delay
And when it comes to decide
?Cause there?s no better time
A few pills of Cyanide
Washed down with wine
?Cause you ain?t paid your bills
Since you?re too busy dreaming
And out seeking thrills
And your best friends have left you
?Cause you?re always stoned
And there?s nothing you can do
When they repossess all that you owned
And there?s no point in crying
?Cause nobody cares
And when you feel like dying
But you just wouldn?t dare
And you?ve had a few drinks
?Cause you?re feeling like shit
And the regulars are sharing a wink
?Cause they know all about it
And the bartender knows
?Cause he?s seen it before

And you?re thrown out the door

And the ambulance arrives
?Cause you had too much booze
Since paramedics save lives
Even ones with nothing to lose
And your friends come to see you
?Cause they?re supposed to
But there?s nothing to say
And no reason to delay
And when it comes to decide
?Cause there?s no better time
A few pills of Cyanide
Washed down with wine
A bottle of rum sitting there
Where you should have been
But in the end I don?t care
?Cause the rum?s a better friend
Always gonna be there
Till I drink it to its end
Now the questions come pounding
Knocking down the doors
Their screams resounding
Why aren?t you here
It?s because you?re with him
And now I?m with a beer
** Chorus **
You left me standing in the dust
In the middle of nowheresville
And now my liver?s gone to rust
But sad songs just don?t fit
And self pity is for the weak
Another beer, another cigarette is lit
** Chorus **
So I?ll start to self implode
Detonating a nuclear bomb
Watching my brain explode
Would you like to inherit my heart
I?ve got no use for it
Another piece of broken art
So he?s rich and cool and nice and sweet
He?s everything you ever wanted
He?s also dead, if we ever meet
Now I?m tired of all the lies
Wasting my time on you
With all these failed tries
** Chorus **
You left me standing in the dust
In the middle of nowheresville
And now my liver?s gone to rust
But sad songs just don?t fit
And self pity is for the weak
Another beer, another cigarette is lit
** Chorus **
I?m going nowhere fast just
Sitting on the road
Victim of your interminable lust
Where you should have been
But in the end I don?t care
?Cause the rum?s a better friend
Always gonna be there
Till I drink it to its end
Now the questions come pounding
Knocking down the doors
Their screams resounding
Why aren?t you here
It?s because you?re with him
And now I?m with a beer
** Chorus **
You left me standing in the dust
In the middle of nowheresville
And now my liver?s gone to rust
But sad songs just don?t fit
And self pity is for the weak
Another beer, another cigarette is lit
** Chorus **
So I?ll start to self implode
Detonating a nuclear bomb
Watching my brain explode
Would you like to inherit my heart
I?ve got no use for it
Another piece of broken art
So he?s rich and cool and nice and sweet
He?s everything you ever wanted
He?s also dead, if we ever meet
Now I?m tired of all the lies
Wasting my time on you
With all these failed tries
** Chorus **
You left me standing in the dust
In the middle of nowheresville
And now my liver?s gone to rust
But sad songs just don?t fit
And self pity is for the weak
Another beer, another cigarette is lit
** Chorus **
I?m going nowhere fast just
Sitting on the road
Victim of your interminable lust
I love the way
People talk about today
When there?s nothing to say
Tomorrow?s just another day
Looking forward forever
There?s no you and me together
But honestly, whatever
I?ll suicide, with cyanide
Death from your inflated pride
Even though I was on your side
** Chorus **
Send up more hoorays
I?ll just send you away
And tomorrow?s just another day
The future?s oh so bleak
A sky of gray and you the streak
A streak of the lies, you reek
** Chorus **
So let yourself fall away
No more time for you to stay
Flattened grass where once we lay
If today?s the day to die
Then I won?t bother to try
I?ll just sit inside and cry
And of course I?ll wonder why
Why do we bother anymore
Forgetting of course, the law
Why bother with our aches and sores
** Chorus **
Send up more hoorays
I?ll just send you away
And tomorrow?s just another day
The future?s oh so bleak
A sky of gray and you the streak
A streak of the lies, you reek
** Chorus **
Why fight for a reason
Just fight in any season
Fling away your precious reason
You?re not here today
Haven?t been here for me to say
I shouldn?t have been that way
And tomorrow?s just another day
People talk about today
When there?s nothing to say
Tomorrow?s just another day
Looking forward forever
There?s no you and me together
But honestly, whatever
I?ll suicide, with cyanide
Death from your inflated pride
Even though I was on your side
** Chorus **
Send up more hoorays
I?ll just send you away
And tomorrow?s just another day
The future?s oh so bleak
A sky of gray and you the streak
A streak of the lies, you reek
** Chorus **
So let yourself fall away
No more time for you to stay
Flattened grass where once we lay
If today?s the day to die
Then I won?t bother to try
I?ll just sit inside and cry
And of course I?ll wonder why
Why do we bother anymore
Forgetting of course, the law
Why bother with our aches and sores

Why fight for a reason
Just fight in any season
Fling away your precious reason
You?re not here today
Haven?t been here for me to say
I shouldn?t have been that way
And tomorrow?s just another day
So where do I go from here?
How do I face my fears?
I keep thinking of what I know
But I don?t know where to go
So how do I know what?s real?
How do I know what to feel?
I?ve never had to fight
Never had to defend my rights
But I?ll never give in to them
And there?s a message I?d like to send
**Chorus**
My bones will break and turn to dust
My heart will fade and begin to rust
But so long as I?ve got breath in my lungs
I?ll know I?ve won
**Chorus**
When do you know you?re done?
When you?re lying under the desert sun
When do you know you?re over?
When you feel drunk but you?re still sober
How does it feel to lie?
How does it feel to die?
These are the things I know
But I don?t know where to go
But I?ll never give in to them
And there?s a message I?d like to send
**Chorus**
My bones will break and turn to dust
My heart will fade and begin to rust
But so long as I?ve got breath in my lungs
I?ll know I?ve won
**Chorus**
Did you ever think to say
Who took our dreams away?
I?ve often asked the bureaucrats
Who told me to go back home and shut my trap
How do I face my fears?
I keep thinking of what I know
But I don?t know where to go
So how do I know what?s real?
How do I know what to feel?
I?ve never had to fight
Never had to defend my rights
But I?ll never give in to them
And there?s a message I?d like to send
**Chorus**
My bones will break and turn to dust
My heart will fade and begin to rust
But so long as I?ve got breath in my lungs
I?ll know I?ve won
**Chorus**
When do you know you?re done?
When you?re lying under the desert sun
When do you know you?re over?
When you feel drunk but you?re still sober
How does it feel to lie?
How does it feel to die?
These are the things I know
But I don?t know where to go
But I?ll never give in to them
And there?s a message I?d like to send
**Chorus**
My bones will break and turn to dust
My heart will fade and begin to rust

**Chorus**
Did you ever think to say
Who took our dreams away?
I?ve often asked the bureaucrats
Who told me to go back home and shut my trap
Decadence and eloquence
And diamond rings mean nothing
We used all the excuses in the books
Now we?ve got to think of something
Dead people, they tell no lies
So jot down all the names you think of
Hit that button next to you
Send me over the edge I?m on the brink of
I subscribe to paralyse
these lies we?re being told
You gotta know when to place a bet
And better yet know when to fold
**Chorus**
We?re decadent and eloquent
With all our morals broke and bent
Crying from our birth to death
Loving life yet dream of rest
We?re decadent and eloquent
With all our morals broke and bent
Crying from our birth to death
Loving life yet dream of rest
**Chorus**
We demand the truth
Yet love their lies
Let them sing to us
A poisoned lullaby
A polished speech
About a soldier?s death
They?ll meet the press
Dressed in their best
Drugs for our memory
Screw around our brains
Drugs to keep us calm
Forget our aches and pains
**Chorus**
We?re decadent and eloquent
With all our morals broke and bent
Crying from our birth to death
Loving life yet dream of rest
We?re decadent and eloquent
With all our morals broke and bent
Crying from our birth to death
Loving life yet dream of rest
**Chorus**
And diamond rings mean nothing
We used all the excuses in the books
Now we?ve got to think of something
Dead people, they tell no lies
So jot down all the names you think of

I subscribe to paralyse

You gotta know when to place a bet
And better yet know when to fold

Loving life yet dream of rest
**Chorus**
Who
Are you
And why
Do you weep alone?
Do I
Defy
Your heart
It fits me like a glove
This is what we say
When someone fades away
They?re just another
Broken dreamer
Sing along to the drums
Going off, exploding like the guns
In a mind game of real lies
Can?t decipher false from fiction
** Chorus **
This is just the way
This is the way to play
A game of truth and lies
Which is which and who decides
So choose your side
Strap up for the ride
Fight to find another way
Or another game to play
** Chorus **
Bombs away and away we go
Lights out, flicker on for the show
Detached from nothing at all
Connected to everything about you
Peace found only damnation
Serenity finds death in salvation
Because nothing makes sense
Happiness is not what you expect
Cheap party tricks to amuse
Hallucinations to confuse
A mind of aggression
That refuses to die
Broken bones and sing-a-longs
Sticks and stones with pity songs
As you lie on the floor
But it ain?t for attention
** Chorus **
This is just the way
This is the way to play
A game of truth and lies
Which is which and who decides
So choose your side
Strap up for the ride
Fight to find another way
Or another game to play
** Chorus **
Life and death reign over our minds
But in the end it?s life that binds
Us to our petty little lives here
As we plod along to sound of the drums
Freaks of nature taking place
In a species born to race
As we fight to be stronger
And live longer, so we die weaker
Are you
And why
Do you weep alone?
Do I
Defy
Your heart
It fits me like a glove
This is what we say
When someone fades away
They?re just another
Broken dreamer
Sing along to the drums
Going off, exploding like the guns
In a mind game of real lies
Can?t decipher false from fiction

All the times I thought of you
There was nothing I could do
No instant cure for your disease
Somebody help me, help me please
All those nights I spent awake
Waiting for every breath you?d take
I don?t know why I?ve never thought
About the reasons that we fought
** Chorus **
I never asked about the lies
Though I saw them in your eyes
And never wondered why you left
Just left me like all the rest
You showed your selfishness, without
A single trace of guilt or doubt
And through it all you kept saying
I?ll never leave you, I?m staying
** Chorus **
Every tear I saw you shed
Were they real or in my head?
You said I?d never leave your mind
Your constant lies have left me blind
How did I never think to ask
Who was it behind your mask
I always assumed that it was you
But now I know that is not true
** Chorus **
I never asked about the lies
Though I saw them in your eyes
And never wondered why you left
Just left me like all the rest
You showed your selfishness, without
A single trace of guilt or doubt
And through it all you kept saying
I?ll never leave you, I?m staying
** Chorus **
I know right now it sounds absurd
And goodbye is just a word
But nonetheless I?ll say goodbye
Have a nice life, don?t forget to die
There was nothing I could do
No instant cure for your disease
Somebody help me, help me please
All those nights I spent awake
Waiting for every breath you?d take
I don?t know why I?ve never thought
About the reasons that we fought
** Chorus **
I never asked about the lies
Though I saw them in your eyes
And never wondered why you left
Just left me like all the rest
You showed your selfishness, without

And goodbye is just a word
But nonetheless I?ll say goodbye
Have a nice life, don?t forget to die

What? I don't get the labeling thing and the referenceing.
Also, it only took me about five minutes I used notebook paper, just a quick sketch.
The right one is a great angle! Perfectly drawn. I am still trying to adjust myself to that >.<;;unabomberman post=18.72805.785353 said:Thanks NewClassic.
Image below
Got it done in a few minutes. It's very, very minimum cartoonized linework. Tell me what you think people.
Note: The hands are fugly, I know. Again, I was in a hurry and sketched it pretty quick.
Really good with color. I'm impressed. ^_^Enskie post=18.72805.785732 said:Now that NewClassic has very kindly provided me with the knowledge required to upload images, I am free to do so.
I really like the photography and the way you photoshop it. It looks wonderful.
Zen- That abstract is really pretty. I am really into the graphic/design style of work- especially when it has words incorporated into it somehow.
my own personal preference, would be to have some of it stick out from the muted quality of it. It's like you put a low-contract filter over it, and I wanted some of the flower to free it's way out of the overlay and be sharp.

To further my ego trip.. yes, co-incidentally. I'm very good at science, mostly because I have an analytical mind, huge amounts of curiosity, creativity and a wide general scientific knowledge and understanding. I also read and understand articles in scientific magazines and journals, such as Scientific American. Bow down, ye mere mortals.RAKtheUndead post=18.72805.783853 said:
Enskie your stuff is fantastic. I love the Ministery of Truth thing. Really calls out to my angsty political irritation. The use of colour is good, along with that of contrast.
For the figuratives, it was images off of DeviantArt. My self portrait was done with a mirror, and I've done other sketches not posted yet from life. As for the flat nature, I don't believe that the scanning process helps there. It uses a different light to the one I draw with and view with, so images appear in a different way. Yes. I'm blaming equipment. Go me. Thanks for your feedback, and for the advice too. I need that.Alliecat post=18.72805.783451 said:

Umm..wow, people like this stuff. I was told by quite a few people to get some 'real' skill and make some of my own artwork because, with exception to the "Ministry Of Truth" image, all of those are just edits in Photoshop CS2, with the Minitrue(readers of 1984 ought to get that) one having been made from scratch, though again in CS2.
Thank you very much, I am both gladdened and slightly stunned that people genuinely took an interest in my work and found it to be decent.
I get told all the time my art is weird, rip-off or other things like-'contemporary' (which I'm still waiting for that person to explain in his own words)Enskie post=18.72805.786396 said:Ares Tyr post=18.72805.786262 said:Labyrinth post=18.72805.786028 said:Firstly, massive ego-trip right there...Alliecat post=18.72805.785905 said:Really good with color.

Art to me is creating/taking images and making them something worthy to look at and think about. I am not a big fan of purely conceptual art, nor am I a fan of purely visual art. It has to be a combination. (I also really like glamour, fashion, stylized art. hard to explain- very graphic, design oriented art)
And so, your art made me smile.
OH GOD YES! I'm sick of signing onto Deviant art and it tells me- This is the new populare art! -Naruto-Naruto_naruto_naruto-NarutoTheNecroswanson post=18.72805.786533 said:Think as if everyone started painting Picasso pictures. That would make it contemporary, the "in thing" to do. Though I liked your gallery, it just seemed to be on par with, well, a good 65% of what I see, and that's just me, on DA and other web sites. It feels like it doesn't add anything new or original. It just feels like you have a lot of potential, and it goes to your standard Betty Page fan art. (simple analogy, not saying anything)Alliecat post=18.72805.785646 said:Photoshop filters canbe nice- if you adjust them, and use them sparingly. Using them a lot or as a main part of your picture just shouts out -noob-. (in my opinion, of course)TheNecroswanson post=18.72805.783517 said:Don't know what you mean. This is my fourth image using photoshop's filters and it's worked fine for me so far. I wanted the image to look like a comicesque night scene. It had a fully set up background and everything. I'm pleased with how they worked to create light, shadow, and simulate the visibility of objects in darkness with a light source. Though the light source was a little strong but that was my errror.Alliecat post=18.72805.783451 said:
Also, I checked out your, I think it was yours, DA, and though I liked it, it fealt too contemporary.
Contemporary? Can you explain a bit what you mean by that?
DISCLAIMER: I know my art is just as goofy and contemporary from an anime standpoint as well. I just suck that badly
Anyone out there agree with me that DA needs to put a ban on Naruto fan art? Seriously, it's like.....80% of the damn site.
NooooooooOO!!!!
My latest visual offering.
Did this in about an hour (Minus inking) She's a support character I'm going to use in the manga I'm planning. ^_^
