The artist in thee

[Labyrinth]

I did things! Horray!

Spoiler: Furniture Time!

Here it is finished. Found the chest of drawers on the side of the road when out walking. Hooray. Details of the repair process can be found here [http://imgur.com/gallery/v3tPu]

Spoiler: Cake Time!

Sorry for shit quality photos. Our good camera got stolen. These are christmas fruit cakes with royal icing which I painted up with food dye. This is about as christmas-y as I get.

Also, holy shit, this thread is still going five years on. Daaaaaaaaamn.

I did things! Horray!

I built a dirt house in Minecraft once. Then a dug a huge hole, 20 block wide and all the way down to bedrock level. Here ends the list of my achievements. Congratulations on your own successes, though, I promise I won't hold them against you in bitter envy!

I write poetry for myself sometimes, and I figure I might as well share some of it.

Spoiler: Memories

I go through life alone,
looking at my memories.
Wanting to atone.

I caused no pain,
Yet I see atrocities
Buried in my shame.

My mind filled with regret,
But also with confusion.
I know not why my mind should let
My soul suffer without reason.

I could have been,
I would have been,
A savior to the world.

My mind would not,
My soul could not,
Take the weight of trials untold.

And so I wander.
Seeking only my own mind,
And memories to ponder.

And I cry.
I search the world alone.
Still I cry.
As my memories have shown.

Spoiler: Copied from an old post:Explore

I walk.
I don't know where.
I bring only what I need to survive, and take what I find on the way.
I keep walking.
I don't know if I will find anyone, and I don't know if I am looking either.

I think.
I think of those I have lost,
I think of what they have lost.
They are in an oblivion.
The same nothingness they experienced before they were born...
they know again.

Still I walk.
I think of world.
I think of the universe.
Size, infinite.
Time, eternal.
What does that make me?
But a speck upon a speck,
I am infinitesimal.
Yet I am part of it.
What is the difference between me and the universe?
Just size alone.
What I am made of is as old as the universe, the same material.
I am nothing,
I am everything.

I walk.
I eat.
I sleep.
Still I think.
What will I do if I find someone?
What is there to talk about,
what is there to do?
We could not only survive, we could rebuild greater than before.
We would have purpose, to build a great society in a dead world, but...
The world is so small.
The universe is eternal.
It is infinite.
But we would have purpose.

Meaningless purpose.

I have not found anyone.

Still I walk.
I explore.
Not the world, as it is small, and I am but a grain of sand.
I cannot even hope to begin exploring the physical world.
I explore my mind.

I think.
I reach for the edges of consciousness
It has no end.
My mind is infinite
I explore as fast as it grows.
I will never reach it all, yet...

I see,
I explore,
I learn about myself,
I know what I am.
I have found a greater purpose. To explore an infinite realm that nobody else knows. I am alive. But even a great explorer needs a break.
I stop to see the world we share
I not only look at the physical world, I see it
I see a figure in the distance.
What do I do?

I think
I decide
I act.
Because in reality, what else is there to do?

I was originally planning to post something from my poetry notebook, then realized I don't have it with me. So here's something I just thought up and one from an old post of mine.

 

[Archemetis]

I drew a wizard!

Spoiler: Wizard

 

[Barbas]

I drew a wizard!

That's unusual. Why the tail and beard laser?

 

[Dectomax]

Well, this is the first time I've seen this thread going around. 'Spose I should dump some of my stuff here. I've been learning Photoshop for about 3 months now and this is the first little project I really worked on.

Spoiler: Art and stuff

These were all about 3 hour pieces.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

I drew a wizard!

That's unusual. Why the tail and beard laser?

Maybe it's a Lizard Wizard?

 

[Snotnarok]

Going through some rough years with my family, made this today as a way of expressing? Venting?

My good stuff is on paper and I can't scan it properly, but here's Polokus from Rayman:

Hopefully the recent rule amendments have made these long-running threads exempt from the necromancy rules!

A few photographic experiments from last weekend. Long exposures, flash bursts and dragging.

And a depth of field test from my new 50mm f1.4

Yeah, a lot of paintings were made... Stuffs!

 

[Archemetis]

I drew a wizard!

That's unusual. Why the tail and beard laser?

The tail was "given to him" to by a friend at the academy, a Goblin Witch and specialist in potion making, she was practising a transmog potion with a little essence of goblin in it, and he's had a tail ever since.

As for the "beard laser", it's not coming from his beard, it's a fireball coming from a focus point point between his hands,

Unfortunate double-post but you guys left me no choice by being so inactive for a while.

I've started up a comic project which can see here at: [link]http://www.blankslatecomic.co.uk[/link].
I promise some semblance of quality and the occasional chuckle.

It's a story-focused comic set in a game that was about to go gold before a catastrophic game-ruining bug tore the whole thing down. It remains active on a test server that the devs forgot about. There the world carries on after the bug.

Hope that you enjoy it if you choose to have a look.

Recently, another escapist wanted to see some of my work, so I created a quick Photobucket account.

Newest thing I've done:

He's some kind of time traveling criminal mastermind or something. I really rushed the background too, but whatever.

 

[username sucks]

It looks like the poetry thread died, so I guess I'll just post here.

The world can be overwhelming, so I tried to make sense of it as best as I could. At least, make sense of why I act like I do. Sorry if I didn't follow the structure or rules exactly.

Spoiler: For Another Day

For Another Day

Work to be done,
A path to choose.
My wants are shunned.
Dreams that I lose.

I try to stop.
Ignore the pain
No mountaintops
Just simple plains.

Another time, another day.
I wait, I push my life away.

The joy of life,
To be a child.
So rare was strife,
As I ran wild.

That's over now.
And as I fall
I notice how
The memories call.

Another laugh, another day.
The only choice: what game to play?

Now lessons endless.
I hear them tell
To "try your hardest".
But still I fell.

So many things
That I could be.
No joy they bring,
I shall be me.

I see myself, I see today.
Joy seems so plain, to waste life away.

I see my thoughts.
Written on paper.
I may be lost,
But life comes later.

So now, at least
I am content.
I'll have my peace
As my intent.

Enjoy my time, and live my way.
The rest of life, another day.
