Cheer me up!!! (show me your best/fave!) ^_^

Well I have a sunburn that is slowly blistering (DEAR GOD LET IT PEEL SOON) and a foot covered with fire ant bites (long story) and my bestest friend who was supposed to come visit this week is sick and I can't figure out a way to get him up here anyway.

So as my friends, I am laying it upon you to cheer me up (because what else are friends for? ). I want to see the piece of art you consider to be your best work ever (or maybe just your favorite ). It doesn't have to be great compared to the other people on the board, just really good for you!!

Come ooooooon!!!! I'll start:

My real best piece so far isn't scanned in yet, so it's a tossup between these two:

Vort

Abs and Graveboy

Now it's your turn. *brandishes stick* Don't make me come over there!!!

Best ever?

Hmmm....

Probably this one
MS Paint Mighty Electron!!!

Hee hee!

Does it have to be a drawing?

If it has to be a drawing, I am going to say that my scanner is wonky, and stick to that story

However, if it can be writing, you need only look so far as my signature, and set aside an hour or so to read Children of Mu

Newp, doesn't have to be a drawing, but I have a short attention span and am easily distracted by shiny objects (and the pain in my foot and back ) so I can't guarantee I'll finish any writing longer than a short story But I'll give it a really good try!!!

And MS Paint Mighty Electron is cute!!!

Errr... Would you consider 45 pages of story plus three pages of after-story Q&A a "short story"?

Im partial to this one as it was the first time I tried a background

PIC ONE

and This one purely because im biased in regards to the subject
matter

PIC TWO

and star I hope you get to feeling better , was it really worth it
sunning yourself in the back yard to attempt to catch the eye of that painter and then falling asleep after one too many drinks and stubling across the yard in the evening only to put your foot thru the mother of all antpiles , you have been having a bad week :P

I keed I keed

Well heres the only drawing that I have scanned that I like the most. It was my character on Anarchy Online. Joijoy Wish I could find my sketch pad that has my favorite drawings in it. I would end up scanning to much in that thing if I could find it.

I have 2 favorite photos: 1 2

Not saying those are my best photos, just my favorites. They have more meaning to me.

Doesn't have to be heroes, does it?

Quiescence the elf -- The amount of manipulation I did on the waterfall and background is what I'm most proud of here.

Something for the lord of the rings fan in all of us Apophysis

How about a seahorse? Seahorses make me happy.

Or a happy cheetah?

Enjoy!

This was done for a friend about 3 years ago, alas he's no longer a friend after divorcing my friend. But it was the first time I did anything digitally that I thought looked professional, so it was a milestone.

This is a personal fave for similiar reasons, one of the few times acrylics did what I wanted them to... it's a detail of my cousin Victoria.

Hope those help Starchasm.

ok This is my bestest (I know not a word)

Rage Shadow

This is the picture that when I look back at it I have the least : " Dam I messed up this" And the most :" yep this is ok"

On that picture the one thing I always go back to that I could have done better is the sword.

Crap, I can't find a picture of the print I did in highschool that was chosen to be put in an art show .

i'm not gifted in artistery, but i enjoy taking pictures, nature, just some random ones of friends, cars, anything really
Then i play with them a little in photoshop, until i get what i think is a neat result, without changing it too much.

here's a couple examples, i'm not a pro, but it's mine.

1. Took a picture of a friend of mine, through my car mirror, via his car mirror, two mirrors! whee! got a kinda neat picture i thought.
Man in the mirror

2. Some friends of mine hanging out, chatting, i grabbed a picture
Hanging out

3.Nature picture, taken very early at the morning, as me and a friend (in the mirror!) did his newspaper route, wich is very long, and out in great nature.
Where trolls live

and last one, just a random car picture, a very yellow Nissan.
The yellow! it burns my eyes!

Edit: fixed picture number 3. But it took time, Image Shack is INSANELY!!11 slow latly.

pssst hems , the "hanging out" pic and the "where trolls live " pic are both the same .

Always fond of this one

Wow!! I never knew so many of you did some of this stuff!!! I need to troll dA more!

DB I was hoping you'd include that wizard picture, I just love it! And, of course, evil dragonberry

Eden, I love your drawings, but you're also a great photographer! That gummy pic is great!

Zekiran, I LOVE fractals!!! And that LoTR one is awesome!!!

And LJ does traditional art!! I'd love to see more acrylics, that portrait is great!

And that's a neato wallpaper Greymist!! I think the sword looks fine (but you're probably harder on yourself than I would be )

Hemsy, I LOVE your troll picture I need to visit Norway sometime! (and the yellow DOES burn!! o_O)

And Arc is a goober!

Thanks a lot guys!!! This is making me feel a bit better! Keep them coming!

So do ya have to be the artist that did it?

Found it! Was a little rushed but I really love this because it was a medium I had never done before and as I said earlier it was chosen to be put in an art show. The teacher loved the colors and even though I didn't win having something entered into a contest for simply doing something I love was awesome.

This is my hands down favourite. My favourite little lady, done in my favorite medium. Linoleum block cut.

Well, I'm not an artist, so I have no fave work of my own; but, I do have a fave artist. Bev Doolittle, I simply love her work. Here's a few of my fave ...

Pintos
When the Wind had Wings
Let My Spirit Soar
Missed

Those last two are probably my faves; but there's loads more of her work.

I've only been doing non-traditional art since 2000, before that I didn't have photoshop *sniffle, sniffle*... Here's another acrylic for you, done last year for the wife's Montessori school's Winter auction, actual size is 30 x 40 inches.

It sold for a respectable $175, not bad for 3 nights work. Here are some stages of it: at the starting gate and close to the finish. I know it looks like a watercolor, but it's not... it's acrylic washes... a heckuva lot of them grrrrrrr. What can I say, the wife made me do it. She comes home one day and says, you're painting for an auction, I go "uh okay"...

LJ

Hmm... >.> Okies... if you insist! <X_X>

Yumii

That's probably my personal best thus far. I did so much with it that I was proud of. Its what forced me back into figure drawing; because while I *LOVE* working with the upper body, being restricted to *just* the upper body is extremely limiting <;.;>

Ayanei vs Duros
Its ancient... but I still love this one. Its probably my best action shot ever... I've considered cleaning it up for color more than a few times. I'm just very happy with it in general; feels like I could almost find it in a manga, which was the goal at the time >.<

<;.;> Feel better! *huggles - avoiding da back >.>* <-- being small and rodentlike can hug small locations without worry! <@.@>m Its great bein a squirrel sometimes.

Oh Noes! They Found me!

Ta Da! Yah, this sucks but at least you can get a laugh out of it!!!

^.^

Hope you get better soon!

Here ya go.

This was for a project I did at an alternative school I went to when I got expelled for lates.

The school was really underfunded and that project was to use the computer to create a piece of art. Problem was all they had was MS Paint. It took me nearly 3 whole school days of solid work I feel I, as successfully as I could, Recreated the view from my window.

I apologize for the webcam pic though
