    No art tallent

    practice, practice and more practice, you have to devote alot of time to self improvement some people are more artistically minded then others but I believe everyone has the ability to draw well if they put there mind to it

    You might have better luck if you post some screenies. I know i prefer to agree to a commission after seeing a character.

    Nice marker experiments!
    I brought my markers to life drawing once. While I am fumbling around, not sure what color to use where, this guy walks in late, sits next to me, and starts doing these amazing drawings with just 4 markers. It was the first time I saw someone using markers there, too. That was a couple of months ago, and I haven't touched my markers since. To think of it, I also haven't been to life drawing. To be fair, I think he had markers dedicated for skin tones, but it was so embarassing, lol.

    haha that would have been awkward.

    WOW ELE!! I love the portrait! You are the first to take on VexXxa's image and I totally love it! Especially the little heart shape around her mouth, which you probably didn't realize was there. Kind of like a subliminal image saying that even though Vex is a villain, she still has a heart.

    I am honored you chose her to be one of your models for your new markers. I cannot wait to see the others you use your markers on.

    Again, I say thank you.

    Really glad you both like em

    I'm really enjoying working with these at the moment but I don't think that I'll ever get the full set of colors. Ill probably just get the Grey scale

    Another test (not a forum personality this time sorry guys)
  11. Greatest commission EVER

    ordered this less then an hour ago. and Dagerpoint has already gotten it done! that guy is a legend!

    been dying to get him to do something for me for a while. but he is always busy! so when he chucked open 10 dollar sketches I jumped at it and im very glad I did!

    thinking I might look to get it finished off elsewhere it'd be a shame to see such a fine picture unfinished
  12. New sketches in my I love my new markers thread!

    or just go look On Da now. Im easy
  13. I've been staring puppy eyed at the copic markers at my local art store for a while. trying to justify spending $10 (AUD) each on the colors I wanted. so I decided to take the plunge and grab a couple. both shades of Grey and I am SO glad I did. I love em!

    As a side note it inspired me to try em out so I took some of the volunteers from my sketch of the day thread ( well one of them volunteered the other just commented) and did up some portraits of them.

    Detest For Milk Weasel

    VexXxa for VexXxa

    hope you guys like em!

    don't be down trodden if you posted your character in my sketch thread and I haven't done them. as well as scratching up these 2 i also did 5 others from in there that I am going to finish and post within the week so keep an eye out!

    In summary copic good.

    Internet meme.. Stuff that gets passed around among people really really quickly and tends to be pretty well known. lolcats, YTMND, Rickrolling, Star Wars Kid, Numa Numa are good examples.

    a dA meme would be similar but passed around and tend to be more well known within dA

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Whoa, I only know of lolcats out of those, and only because there is a thread in this section. And of course I didn't know what a meme was, either. I feel so out of touch...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I knew of rick rolling! but im right there with you on the out of touch

    I agree on the length part, but the idea is very cool. Memes need to be short enough to keep the attention of a ferret with ADHD who just slammed a Dew.

    And that is the best analogy ever.

    Seconded I almost fell off my chair laughing
  20. Art theft! lol

    An update on the situation, the seller on eBay has pulled most of the products bearing the stolen deadpool images from sale with the reason 'item has been lost or broken'

    Still up on the chopping block: Electagonist, ...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yeah sorry, life + lack of skillz = really late with this. I hate dealing in MSPaint and stupid etcs. Will likely miss deadline unless I figure out something less [sheesh, censored already...it is late] to get these pics done.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Ok, so maybe that was over-dramatic. Finally got my act together (and found some missing passwords) so I can actually post these.

    Original bio for Electagonist: “a former hero turned villain. after tapping into the rogue island power supply and a brief possession by the demon Bat'zhul electagonist developed a form of schizophrenia that sees him constantly swinging from an old jaded hero to a twisted criminal with no inhibitions.”

    Now, I happen to love dual-faceted characters (made one, or two, myself; bonus points to anyone who knows about Cazimi ). Since I liked the basics of the background, I decided that the “ultimization” would actually result in two physical forms for Electagonist…one a slightly battered anti-hero, one a demonic form. And so:

    Electagonist-1
    Electagonist-1 (head)

    Electagonist-2
    Electagonist-2 (head)


    Original 1
    Original 2
    Original 3

    I had fun with this; I hope this was not too pedestrian. And thanks for the PG version...I love the way some of the pieces work together, and plan to use this as a jumping off point for PG's spacesuit I love the re-imagined background (makes more sense than the original ).

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Very nice take! I especially like the first form, a very cool re-imagining . also I'm glad you like my take on PG she was a blast to work with
