I've never seen this thread before, but I just have to say... holy shit, there are some talented GAFfers around. Not just Prax, but everyone contributing to this thread is damn-near incredible.

You're all beautiful, talented people :)

Edit: This is my only post in this thread, but I'll throw this in here, too. I'm not expecting anything, but if the practice will help someone out:

I've got a few pairs too but I haven't worn any of them for probably a year, they make me feel short compared to my Nikes and I'm not a tall guy so I like the extra height.

And now it sounds like I have a complex lol.

Isn't that why you had a kid, to feel taller? ;)

I'm just scrolling through the pages here and some of this stuff is absolutely amazing!

How much time do you guys invest into these portraits? And how long did you take to find your own style (and be good at it)?

I AM THE WORST SECRET SANTA IN THE WORLDDDDDDDD.. ;___;
So I put extra effort into this (1.5 hours?) to make up for it a little!
I will still try to send you mail when I get around to sending any mail at all. (I am very bad at mail and gift buying lol)

I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR WORLD DOMINATION [click for full res you can print]:


Thank you all for giving me inspiration and enjoying my stuff! I'll still be checking out the thread to see others work their magic!

Yeah, that looks badass! Like Nathan Drake beach getaway lol

Prax you're amazing!
Thanks! XD I actually think this thread helped with my drawing speed too~!

thanks dude, great job! This is great!
No problem! :D
It's funny when peopel call me dude because then I sound so cool~

The majority of my portraits take between 5 - 15 minutes. I tried to keep it under 10 minutes for the most part because I am impatient.

I've been drawing most of my life, so.. >___> 25+ years? And I'm still not ready to say that I'm really good or professional level, but I.. try? (Sometimes lol). My style, at least my colouring ability and some aspects of anatomy, is going through some growth right now, so style's always kind of changing.
I think it took me at least 5 years to get from kind of amateur anime-artist into kind of decent-maybe-someone-will-pay-me levels. And then for the following 10 years, I just kind of stagnated or subtly worked on different areas and felt like I was getting nowhere.

So if you're interested in getting into art and have great ambitions, just know that it takes loads of time and practice and probably tears!

Does it REALLY make up for 4+ months of no gift or like.. apology? Hahahaaa~
(Note to everyone: this is why I can't take commissions right now. I am like.. commitment-adverse. It's weird)

You're really welcome and this was really fun to make.

prax is so legit its not even funny
I do try!
Everyone in this thread has been inspiring to me, so it's really helped me have the motivation to even draw that stuff too!

Sorry, I made your house explode. But at least you got a rope to swing to safety.

Oh no, ambition isn't there in any way, I'm just interested and impressed - I haven't got time to get good at this and haven't scribbled something since school, but I'm always interested in what ifs..

Yeah it kind of does actually haha. I joined the secret santa because I wanted to give something to a gaffer, and now I have this! Once I can I think I'm going to print it out and frame it. So yes thank you. :D
 
Hey Prax, the one you did of me I made my profile pic on facebook, and the other night I was talking to a friend of mine who is the lead illustrator for a small comic book publishing company, he loved the pic and asked if you wanted to go work for them!

(I think he was serious, PM if interested)

The pinball machine is a little squashed, but I did that on purpose. Also this one took quite a bit longer to finish than the other two I have done, because of the details in the pinball machine itself.


I cannot unsee a cross between Delsin and his brother Reggie in that picture lol.

Artstyle looks great though.


Well I tried :p I still have some things to learn with faces.
