Title: Random Watchamacallits
Post by: fruckert on August 30, 2008, 07:07:05 AM
Seeing as how I am a slight arteest, and have not yet posted my work, I shall do so now...
And due to the insightful comment by Meiscool I actually put them into here instead of pesky links

Digital "Art", personally mostly hate:
[spoiler](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r125/fruckert/Daivori.png)
Daivori is a god out of Myrdia, my RPG universe, if you ask me for mythos I shall send it to you[/spoiler]

[spoiler](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r125/fruckert/XIII_logo-V3-accurate_to_celt_symbo.png)
It's the symbol for Garg Studios, what I like to call myself when I'm making a project
If anyone is even more interested, its a traditional celtic symbol for strength with 25 XIII's within it[/spoiler]

[spoiler](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r125/fruckert/C.png)
I don't know, it's old, and it looks cool[/spoiler]

A warped out version of Garg Studios symbol[/spoiler]

H.R. Geiger's "The Tourists", with a personal touch from me[/spoiler]

[spoiler](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r125/fruckert/pixel.png)
I have no idea what I was thinking when I made that
It makes me feel sick inside[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I was going to post my Glyph series here, but I'll save that for later :P[/spoiler]

BALEETED PERSONAL SHTUFF

And my own drawings, which were done in twenty minutes each, on an NDS
I am much better in pencil

The Fiend
[spoiler](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r125/fruckert/l_cb52d59153bbe1a585c088ade0e0ac88.png)
If anyone asks about this, I'll post up a thread about this video game concept that I'm making in my head[/spoiler]

Ringsword
[spoiler](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r125/fruckert/colors_slot1.png)
Same comment as above[/spoiler]

[untitled]
[spoiler](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r125/fruckert/colors_slot4.png)
If anyone thinks up a good name for this thing, I'll be forever in your debt[/spoiler]

That is it for now, and as a notice I'm going to be on a hiatus from the internet for a little bit
School sucks
And once I get back I plan on updating this as often as I wish

i just wanted to not suck up space

Oh man... Some of us (like me and Archem) can't see the stuff in spoiler tags without quoting your post and copying the photobucket links, so I wish you hadn't done that XD

As for the art... The wispy, strange computer made designs look good but You're giving the impression of not being able to do much else :p The drawings are okay but again, you haven't drawn anything I can really criticise- there's nothing that I can compare to them in real life to find out whether you can actually draw XD

I suggest you call that two handed blade thing a poke poke. It looks like the sort of thing you'd use to poke your enemies with.

I can't?

Looks good, but there's a little too much of the swirled colors and line thing going on. No method to the madness, as the saying goes.

I just realised that the links I just posted would be dead to anyone not registered to those forums so instead I'll go post a new thread over here and copy word for word my thread over on those other forums

got a new ringsword design

this is more final

That looks rather odd to hold.
Title: Re: Random Watchamacallits
Post by: fruckert on September 21, 2008, 03:51:24 AM
It got kind of squashed, due to the fact that i was working with a small canvas, so the ring is supposed to be smaller.
Anyways, you hold the crossbar by gripping the center. It's very hard to describe, so if I manage to sprite it, or model it, I'll post it in my game thread.

The veins are optional
But the attached blade is permanent
Title: Re: Random Watchamacallits
Post by: Dominicy on September 21, 2008, 04:06:34 AM
Eh.  More or less I think that it looked better when the ring-grip and the blade were separated by that weird...'bar' thingy.
Title: Re: Random Watchamacallits
Post by: Revolution911 on September 21, 2008, 04:07:00 AM
that last one is kind of ridiculous.

Its a black blob with awkwardly placed eye holes.


Digital art looks cool.  maybe have the text look less...plain next time though.  They just kinda look tacked on there.

As for the drawings, I dont know.  I guess it looks okay, but the way your doing it, in thick black lines and straight edges and deformed figure, its really really hard to have it look shitty, so it isnt saying much.
Title: Re: Random Watchamacallits
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on September 21, 2008, 06:37:49 AM
The digital art all seems to be random image followed by find edges. Or whatever else have you, I just forge tthe name of the filter.

That last ones supposed to be a weapon, and my original drawing for it (which was much much better) got destroyed (somehow).
It also has a name, The Spiker, and it's supposed to be a huge halberd-meets-greatsword type thing

And as for the drawings, schizophrenia fucks everything up when you're drawing
If I sound pissy, I apologize, I'm just in one of my weird random-*** rage flashes

I do all the art in Gimp
First I render a flame, after looking for awhile, then I put some fitting text in bizzare places, then put a starburst over it. Simple, not very original, but it can look okay

Thanks for all the criticism, it's really refreshing not having people go "ZOMG your digital art is SOOOOO good!"
Eugh, they have no idea what "good" art is

So...
Got something kinda old, made it a year ago, and I call it ""Shangri-La"
Because it's based off of the blue moon mentioned in that book which name I forget

(http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r125/fruckert/colors_slot5.png)

(maybe) More to come later

Post by: Meiscool-2 on October 16, 2008, 01:10:03 AM
Eh. I'm sorry, but that could be made in a minute with photoshop. Try adding some cloud effects and define the mountain a bit more. Adding some water at the bottom would allow you to get rid of the uglier parts of the mountain and let you make a moon reflection, still allowing focus to be on the moon.

I know!
It's mega-epic fail

Because I painted it with COLORS on my DS!
In about the same amount of time (a minute) to!
Not a very capable program
But it's the closest I have to a tablet

Once I get one you will see my artwork get WAY WAY way better
Because you'll actually see the way I draw
Which is much better then the way I digital Paint

I am going to go try to do what you said though
It sounds mega-epic not fail
Not win
But not fail

It's also not "new", I have no idea why I even said that
It's about a year old

Found this on my myspace
I remember doing this one
It's some checker board I made, rippled a couple times, with a fractal warp applied to it

Cuz I was bored

Ignore the ending, and the name, the ending is just me playing around with some sounds

I'm planning on turning that into an actual song later on, because I actually like the melody it has

I updated the file
It now has cymbal sounds, as well as an improved ending...kinda

Photobucket fucked up so I'm going to add my latest thing in tomorrow

It's a mask, which I named "The Destroyer"
All the pictures that I have on photobucket right now suck, however, so you'll have to wait until I can access the card on which I saved all the pictures

wow...I had to work for years to call myself an artist.
Spent a good 7 years doing crap work in tattoo shops.
Spent 9 months solid painting and repainting paintings to put on my first (and only) gallery show to date
spent over a year learning how to master my graphics tablet
Endured countless consultaions with clients to make a product that would meet their, and my standards for commisioned pieces
Took a semester of post secondary visual arts
went to a specialized highschool and learned 3 dimensional techs, Illustration techs and drafting techs

and you slap some textures into a gimp document, add a warp effect and a solar flare,
AND COMPLETELY PUT EVERY ARTIST IN THE WERLD TO SHAME!!1!


thats not digital art, its experimentation with graphics applications.
those arent drawings, theyre poorly executed abstractions that really have no realy thought or training put into them.

you arent and "arteest" you are a kid trying to learn to draw.

I think those are my strong points, actually
    no..... they arent. lrn some fundamentals
Title: Re: Random Watchamacallits
Post by: fruckert on February 07, 2009, 06:47:59 AM
REWRITE, I ACTUALLY THOUGHT THIS TIME:
I know I suck at art...I tell people who freak out whenever they see my drawings and think they're the bestest things ever
I just love what I do, and love to show it, even when they are not accepted well (SEE ALL ABOVE POSTS)

Mostly what I am good at, I don't post much, because I don't really think that poetry and writing is very exciting

And I am still trying to learn to draw, as I have some severe brain disorder that you may have heard of, called "Autism"...basically fucks up the brain-communication thing...so most of these glorious images I see end up as twisted little blobs that would make most 2 year olds laugh

So yes, still learning, and yes I will continue to post the things that I do as long as I think I'm actually "Improving"

EDIT THRICE:
no..... they arent. lrn some fundamentals
How the hell did I not notice that
Probably because I skip over shitty grammar...which may be why I don't read what I'm writing half the time...interesting...
Anyways, onto subject!
Most of my designs are geometrical patterns
You should see my "sketchbook", I guess you could roughly call it
Has tons of stuff in it that actually don't look half bad...not good, but not *hiss hiss, scream* "Take it away!!!1!"

But yeah: Moral is, most of the stuff on this thread I ****ing hate, because I made it years ago (my parents were still together then), and I was basically just goofing off, and mostly I just post to show my so called "improvements"

Counter-point: Art shouldn't be limited by formal training and experience. Sure, it makes a massive improvement, but it's an art form, not a spread sheet. Everything art is expression, not formula. You can spend all the time in the world honing your skills, but still be nothing more than a mediocre artist due to a lack of creativity and failed attempts at expression. On the flip side, you can spend three years doing nothing except experimenting with a lone medium (enough time to become familiar with how to use it effectively, and enough time for a truly fascinated person to have drawn/painted/what-have-you enough times to know how they should look), and because of their creativity, they can create a modern-day masterwork. I'm not suggesting that these works are masterful, or that such a hypothetical is likely, but the point I'm trying to make is that your suggestion that art cannot exist without years of work or as a result of experimentation are fundamentally flawed.

Oh, and as for what I think about the works overall: They need work. How about having a subject next time? Heavily filtered patterns are boring.

My next one that I'm putting up tomorrow is a clay mask
That work for subject?

Also, as soon as I bully my dad into getting a scanner, this topics probably gonna be flooded with actual "drawings"
Those things that I made on COLORS are despiseful...if that makes any sorts of sense...I'm not that great with digital paint
Pencil, however, I can make a legible...thing

Anyways, after I finish reading my unreads, I am going to bed

It's a mask. It's more the crafts part of "arts and crafts". Subject becomes a bit more difficult to shoehorn in there.

Post by: fruckert on February 07, 2009, 08:44:47 AM
Ah

It does have a "theme" but that probably doesn't really count sooo
You'll have to wait until I post some real drawings that aren't shitty concept art or horrid COLORS abominations*
