Polygons and whatnot (mostly polygons)

[Neon Ness]

Can't wait to see it man.

See I like doing stuff on the laptop because I get to color stuff in a lot faster. Off of a laptop, colored pencils and paints and stuff are limited resources. In Photoshop I can just click on the color wheel and go crazy immediately. But I have to keep drawing in pencil so as not to get rusty over the summer. :\

 

[ZIO]

That pic of mine is the first thing I did by hand in a long while. And using color pencil even longer. And the thing is, it's not really complete. I REALLY should go ahead and do the background.

EDIT - Neon, you are only as limited with your colored pencils as you make yourself. I used, really, only six colors for my piece there.

The #1 reason I work pretty much exclusively with graphite.
Subject to change soon, my Bday is in 2 weeks and I'm hoping for an intuos4 or enough money to get one :D
I really don't like being restricted by time and the medium I'm working with, and I have a feeling that working digitally is going to make a huge impact.

 

[ZIO]

My instructor always said to work outside your comfort zone. It'll make you a better artist.

I believe it. I just have yet to really work outside my comfort zone. That goes for subject and medium. :/

 

[TigerWoods]

Yeah I believe it too.. though I rarely step outside of what I'm good at. I guess I'm hypercritical of my own work at times...

I've always wanted to try working with clay and 3D solid art... though I never got around to it.

 

[Geist]

It's not that I'm not comfortable with anything else, I can paint with oils, acrylics, and watercolor, I use colored pencils and inks, and I sculpt and do woodworking.
My problem is money, time, and the fact that I get bored of things half way through and can't commit.
:[ bawwwwwwwwwwwww

 

[TigerWoods]

Oh trust me I know the feeling XD...

I get inspiration for this fantastical idea right? haha yeah... i draw the foot then i call it quits

 

[ZIO]

Oh god I feel like that all the time.

I'll never get a start on my comic with work ethics like that.

 

[global-wolf]

I can't even finish a drawing of my face >.>

 

[HondaFoo]

The key is to keep it interesting as you draw. I used to (kinda still do) have the same problem, but then I started to draw quicker and more loose. It helps prevent me from grinding to a halt on a drawing, and it keeps my mind active and not bored by details

 

[Geist]

Yeah I usually have an interest to quality ratio that I follow. It's exponential though, as soon as I see I'm losing interest and my work quality is going down I quit.

 

[ZIO]

Neon. Have you spoke with Virg about the status of our AWYP?

I noticed they had a Write With Your Power recently. We should get something going too, soon.

 

[TigerWoods]

Omg I love AWYP's! The critiques are so helpfull...

 

[ZIO]

That's not something we can't do already, though . . .

 

[TigerWoods]

Point taken xD

It seems funner I guess when we "battle" each other.

 

[Neon Ness]

I dunno... Doesn't look like AWYP will be coming back lol

Definitely fun while it was here though, and it was a great idea.

[ZIO]

Is there any way I can get Virg to give me the orange name, at least?

 

[Geist]

That sucks. I wouldn't mind just having the casual project more though, even though I totally dropped out of it last time... lol

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

I have to start and finish two cosplays by the end of January for Ohayocon xD
CRAM TIME GOOOO~

 

[Athena21]

What kind of costumes are you making?

 

[victra♥]

Based off the OP, Chronodiver Lokii is mad cute. ^o^

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

Awww thanks Victra <3

Doing a BlazBlue cosplay (yes. im obsessed) with my best friend. I have to make both our costumes though. I'm gonna be Noel and he's gonna be Jin.

Yeah, maybe we should do another one. I had a good time doing it last time. And the theme should be Favorite Artist. You do a painting in the style of your favorite artist. lol, jk.

 

[Ocho(*8*)]

wtf, does this thread have music?

and maye ill draw myself since i posted here. i used to be into that..

 

[Neon Ness]

Lol maybe I should change the title soon It's been the same for a while now. People should still do self portraits if they want though.

Also, I'm working on some business logos for family members. I think I might need your guys' help with design ideas. :l I got art block.

 

[Geist]

I'm almost done mine :]
logos arent really my thing but I could try to lend a hand.

 

[Athena21]

I just noticed I've been forgetting to post in purple.

I should have been banned by now.

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

HAS ANYONE WATCH THE BLACK ROCK SHOOTER OVA YET?

So worth the wait.

Nah, honey.

Get promoted!

I dunno what that is. :s

If it's an anime then that's why, since I haven't watched any in a long time. :l

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

Black Rock Shooter was an animation project by an artist named Huke. It started out with a Vocaloid video and it's now an official OVA. I think they have plans on making it a full fledged anime.

 

[Athena21]

Neon, why do you post at such weird times.

 

[Geist]

I finally had the chance to buy a CS copy for myself :D Anyone play it on the 360?

lawl I need to finish my portait too I guess

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

I got's PS3 :<
Sadfaceeeee I wanna play peopleeeeee D:

I need to start actually working on Mu-12 combos -__-;

 

[Geist]

>:[
I main Lambda now, playing Arakune made me rage too hard. I guess I need to stop sucking so much.
I'm anticipating the times where I can jump online, **** some fools, and call it a day.

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

Yeah i noticed ara got changed a bit...that bites (but secretly makes me happy since i know a few CT Ara mains >__>)
Rambdaaaa <3 :'D

 

[Jim Morrison]

made this in SAI in 10 minutes it's not good but maybe you can recognize me.

 

[TigerWoods]

Santo... You really need to step your game up. The coloring is nice and all... but the body proportions are just wrong. It looks kind of dead around the eyes, and the blue wall just isn't working for me.

 

[Jim Morrison]

I get the blue walla but what do you mean with dead around the eyse?

I think did the eyes really well. I think it portrayed the state of constantly being tired I was in very well.

 

[TigerWoods]

Though there are emotions present in the eyes... it just doesn't look real to me. It is almost as if it were nothing but a statue made by Michelangelo.
