Dat'z all I can stanz! and I cant stanz no more!'

new avatar looks much better Storm

thanks everyone for the suggestions. feel free to keep em coming.
Added a couple more onto it. still early in the day here in Australia so this probably wont be the last pictures I do today

Go look.

6:30 for students. cant wait to graduate and get into something art related. 1 o clock here i come :P

Why are hobo's up at 10?

As an incentive for myself to practice drawing more frequently. I am starting a sketch a day on my Deviant art. going to try to submit at least 1 sketch per day.

these may be forum personalities, My Oc's, comic book characters, random characters, cartoon characters. anything.

I don't want anyone to think this is a post a link to your character and you'll get an awesome picture back thread. what you get back will be raw ill be spending between 10 to 20 minutes on them, depending on the day it may border upon g0dawful, until I improve my consistency.

also. not everyone who post's a character here is gonna get a pic back. some toons may be more complicated then i wish to go into, or perhaps i just don't find them appealing. but for what ever reason don't get your hopes up.

Ive submitted 3 to get the ball rolling. all of which are forum personalities or one of their toons. (1 is me )

Check it out

Feel free to post suggestions here. I'd love to hear suggestions from other artist's as well as to what characters they have enjoyed drawing in the past. suggest anything

nice work dude. looking forward to see more of it

I vote Alex..

How does Tacky_tricky get votes for just a cut and paste of a border?

[/ QUOTE ]

im pretty sure that the votes are going on hes highly skilled line drawing's of a cool character. wiether or not the border is copied and pasted is irrelevant. its part of the finished product and if people think that its the best, then they have every right to vote for him.

this is a friendly competition so please try to be respectful.

1 commission Electagonist by sketchartist

and a freebie Ferretagonist by Shade kirbs (My little bro. very cute )

Should have took this a little more seriously :P

There's not enough Art Deco in design these days.

[/ QUOTE ]

Couldnt agree more.

just finished a 1000 word essay on art deco. im now in love with it and also more then a little tired.

Ha. Oddly enough, both of you guys are on my mental "short list" of artists with whom I'd like to work. Specifically because I've got this new crew of pulp/noir female characters. I've always liked Elec's illustrations of the ladies, and Lousy (aka heo), your digital watercolors would, I think, make for an interesting take on the classic pulp style.

I've got a few other things cooking right now, but the fact that it was the two of you who first responded is a tad bit serendipitous.

[/ QUOTE ]

you've won me over with your combination of Flattery and overall good idea . I love pulp and noir influenced art and it is also something ive been dying to try for some time now. while i have alot on my plate for the next 3 weeks. following that I have a month long holiday which i had intended to dive into all sort's of art projects.

Id even be down with a collaberation if Lousy day is interested. he's one artist I too have admired and to be honest. i just dont collaborate as much as i'd like.

So consider this me Officially throwing my name into the hat on this one

nice one

mystic...fortune or something?

[/ QUOTE ] I think the third one is in violation of the 2 click rule.

this is a damned toughy.

Gonna have to go with projectionist though, it was just a great idea and well executed.

honorable mentions to tricky tacky, was great to see a finished picture. and lousy day did another great job .

everyone should be proud of whats there though. they are all great pictures.

but the real winner was TA he made out like a bandit :P

...this is gonna be tough...

even though I wasn't skinvited i brought a present :P

you already have the cake (if it isn't obvious. probably not INCREDIBLY Suitable for work )
just a quicky but i believe everyone deserves something for there birthday.

happy birthday dude!

Hmm interesting. Kind of a Ghost Rider meets Captain Universe.

[/ QUOTE ]

I see what your talking about there. a vague resemblance to ghost rider

The first legitimate city of heroes character Ive finished in a while!

Ephemeral Goddess.

Please and thank you!

Im sure alot of artist's here could do it. but im not entirely sure if anyone here specializes in drawing cars.

I for one would be willing to give it a shot as ive been interested in getting into drawing cars. time is the only issue.

I would definetly check DA out. there are some fine car artist's on there

Thanks for the kind words guys and gals !

Im on a roll!

I may have to bust out the dice this month to make a decision...

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm right there with you. they are all just that good. Definitely a lifting of quality as we go.

I'd consider a lighter shade of blue. I'd also try a different set of boots.
