Quick character I created for a maya animation project I'm starting.
Stole the haircut from one of the elite four in pokemon diamond.

Here are some abstract impressionist pieces I made this week:

GAME

DAUB

SYNC

 

[Shinz Kicker]

fuck this thread makes me sad i have drawn since i graduated.

only been pre production for a screen printing company.

 

[hookedonritalin]

Bump from last page because I was the last one to post and probably nobody would ever see it, lol.

This is amazing! Please do more!

 

[Arcipello]

Do you have this wallpaper sized? It's beautiful.

im afraid since it was just a sketch i sized it down and saved it as the image you see right there.

C'mon guys lets keep this thread going! don't make me start posting my old deviantart stuff just to bump it up.

some random sketches from last week.

 

[SilentProtagonist]

4x5 Acrylic Painting

Comic (see previous pages for earlier issues):

 

[Prax]

Okay, time to dump some of my stuffs onto you! XD

Brought to you by the Great Gaf Art Challenge--hey, why aren't you guys participating?!

Placeholders I made to keep the thread bumped. lol

My final "submission" for GGAC 5 - Religion:

I really like.. stars.. XD

Pen stuff.. an Emperor! Well, he doesn't look too emperor-y here.. but maybe this is before he becomes the chosen one.. or he's playing incognito:

New character design of a newish character. Nadathirez was made to fulfill a singing elvish citizen quota--he's more of a ranger/scout though:

I was feeling nostalgic and decided that a few old copyright infringing characters needed to be remade and revived.. >.> ... I think you can guess the original "inspiration" for my 10-year-old mind:

And because I think Talis is sooooo cute:

I like drawing furries. I actually really miss it! I'll probably do more. >.>

Looks like how I imagine 1984. Awesome!

Seconded, I know you use Painter but I wonder what you got going for Photoshop stuff

 

[Arcipello]

Well i use a custom made brush for those sketches above, its like a foutain pen with bristles, works quite nicely.

 

[orioto]

You got a thing with fishes right :lol
Really pretty as usual !

You use painter well

Spoiler

and it uses you back^^

 

[srst]

BMW 128i. Work in progress.

haha yeah, atleast they send me free copies and stuff... its not all bad

 

[zoukka]

An aquarelle I did for a poster for our school. Haven't done much coulouring, but it turned out pretty nice. So relaxing when compared to drawing...

 

[arena08]

BMW 128i. Work in progress.

Nice stuff. The lighting looks a little faded at the moment though, especially on the wheels.
How many polys?

I like your style! I presume you used some photoshop etc, and I'm cutious in which areas?

I would like to see a version where the background would be orange of example. It now takes some power away from the character because the background bleeds from the eyes. But if that was your intention then don't listen to me :)

 

[Desperado]

Holy hell, there is a ridiculous amount of talent in this thread.

I love this.

 

[justjohn]

Is drawing a natural talent or can you learn from someone? especially someone who hasnt got a clue how to draw.

 

[Boozeroony]

Awesome stuff here. It really frustrates me that I have all these ideas in my head, but I lack the talent and skills to realize them on paper.

 

[zoukka]

No it's not a natural talent (well of course the learning curve varies) and everyone can learn to draw. Fastest way would be some sort of art-lessons or a (really patient) friend who is a master of sorts :b

But yeah I've seen so many stick-figure makers evolve into painters and great artists, there's no question here about it.

Get to it.

I guess it helps to love drawing as a child, the brain learns more about the complexities involved in creating an image... but i remember when i started colour my images i had a LOT to learn about colour and light and its taken about 6 years to go from the like of this below..

to more recent stuff like this

the key for wanting to do anything well however is passion without it you won't go far.

Two little animations from my 2D demoreel:

 

[my name is ed]

Daamn Arcipello
thats quite a progression

Here's two of the comics I've made for the student newspaper here at the University of Texas and one simple self portrait

 

[Dreweyes]

Made this tonight. Portrait of my girlfriend:

Then again realistic style is just one of the many. Clarity, imagination and expressivity are huge factors as well. Remember that many famous artist aren't necessary masters at drawing.

Portrait of my girlfriend:

Pointillism works, except with the lips.

 

[afternoon delight]

Just about the only one I really like, but they're all pretty much works in progress I guess.

 

[my name is ed]

Here's a remade version of the comic I already posted here a while ago. Feedback is appreciated. Decided to go for more contrast and clarity. Not very happy about the last page and the rushed conclusion

looks much cleaner and better to follow. I preferred the lighting of the match from last time though.

 

[Dreweyes]

Pointillism works, except with the lips.

For some reason I actually like how it looks on the lips...
Thank you for the criticism though.

 

[skyfinch]

Remake of the Psycho Fox (sega master system) boxcover.

It's interesting to see one's skills improve over time. Looking back at it you know you'll never ever be able to create the same art you used to do. It's like a mind-boggling reverse-amnesia.

My latest piece:

 

[Mik2121]

Some stuff I've been working on recently:

Fruits!!

Each done in under 15 minutes.



And some hand studies in my sketchbook:

 

[Mik2121]

Made this today during class while listening at the teacher (brought a pen tablet with me, lol). It took me 2 hours so I had to finish it during the lunch break.

 

[Mik2121]

Done today with ZBrush.

Wait. So you made this?

 

[Arcipello]

Wait. So you made this?

yep, i actually made it over a year before they released Painter 11, they contacted me and wanted to use that image

 

[Larson Conway]

I tried to "un-toon"ing Quistis Trepe. Not sure if it's any good.

Linky for full image

"Welcome to Balamb Garden!"

(No, she's not an actual person )

 

[Arcipello]

some concept art i did a while ago.

lets kick start this thread guys

 

[Tashi]

^^^whoa, that is no joke. Looks great

 

[Raging Spaniard]

Sure thing! That looks amazing by the way.

This is a wip for a WoW commission. Coincidentally I just started working on a portfolio for Blizzard, so this is a good chance

Also working on a Chrono Trigger piece, but its too rough right now to see anything.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Post your artwork already!

Here is one that I did. I enjoy doing portraits of athletes. This one is special due to me meeting Hank Aaron and having him sign the lazer copy I made, I gave him the original.

This one of Barkley I did when I was 15 (14 years ago ) and I was able to have his wife get him to sign it at a Suns game.

 

[Mato]

O hey time to redeem myslef. I don't know how I ever missed such an obvious "plug your own stuff" thread, unless I've posted before and forget it.

You can all hate my "broken grafix card" style in turns.

Always looking to work together with someone over some kind of joint project.

Hi thanks I wish more people liked my shitty failure artistic underachiever side.

They always look better in thumbnail heh. This is sketch for a cover of a childrens novella I would call "Froulain and the Mysterious Radio transmission".

 

[OchreHand]

Mato that last piece you posted is really strange but aesthetically pleasing

 

[Mato]

[Raging Spaniard]
