Title: Val's Real Art
Post by: Valiere on April 02, 2009, 08:24:18 PM
Thought I might post some of my non-sprite stuff in here.

(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Serithe/imge002.jpg)

Nude male model from life drawing class. You guys are lucky there's no shlong in sight.

Sadly, most of the stuff I do at school is on paper that's way too large to scan. This was one of the few in a notebook.

(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Serithe/fanfestxxi.jpg)

I play Final Fantasy XI Online, and this was an entry for a fanart contest. It didn't come close to winning, but it was actually one of the 40 or so put on display at the official fan gathering, so that was pretty cool.

(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Serithe/gnole.jpg)

A drawing of a gnole from FFXI. Sometimes I'm too lazy to erase structural lines.

I had a college newspaper comic strip for a few semesters. This one was from an ongoing storyline. I thought it was pretty good, but the art style makes me cringe.

(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Serithe/dsd51-1.jpg)

An earlier strip. It got kinda surrealist at times. I kind of wondered what the other students thought.

(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Serithe/dsdf5-1.jpg)

An even earlier strip. This one is funny, but GOD is the art bad. Hard to imagine how bad I used to be.

A project in one class was to make a band poster. This was mine.

...wierd. In my Digital Design class, we're going to do the same thing. (Make a band poster.)

You're really good, really. The kind of stuff that made me give up drawing many years ago.

However, it was a little hard to tell that the guy was underground, I wish the shadows behind him were darker.

I actually had to make a band poster in two classes. I guess that theme is really, really popular with digital drawing teachers.

You really do have a good hand at still life.

Ever since i got my cursed tablet, I havent touched paper with a pencil. A shame really.

You kind of make me mant to draw again.
But being a crotchety old bastard works so well for me.

moar plz

If you draw anything like you sprite, Gemini, I bet you'd give me a run for my money.
Title: Re: Val's Real Art
Post by: Ben on April 02, 2009, 09:29:37 PM
Ha...thanks.

Not trying to brag, but I draw much better. Ive only been spriting for the last 5 years. Ive been drawing since i could hold a pen.
Ive put on a couple of shows. I have one coming up next year, so at some point i need to actually draw again. With the exception of the last few years, drawing has pretty much paid my bills since i turned 18.

Id like to see more of your pencils Val. Post em. Especially your still lifes.
I never ended up going to school, so whenever i have friends that are attending, i kind of envy them when i look at the projects they do.
I always kind of wanted to be an art teacher....but i guess one day i should get on the whole "student" thing first.

post more of your stuff when you can....i like your style.

Post by: Dragonium on April 02, 2009, 09:41:31 PM
This is the sort of thing that makes me wish I could draw. I was pretty good until I was about 12, and then I suddenly lost any semblance of ability.

I second the motion for seeing more.

This actually looks like something Alex Grey might do, if the colours were way more trippy.

All very good, but the head and neck look a little out of proportion in the still life. Like, bulbous. Maybe that's what the dude was like though, I don't know iwasn'tthere
Title: Re: Val's Real Art
Post by: Valiere on April 03, 2009, 03:19:52 AM
We were learning foreshortening, so it was an overhead view...like, I was physically standing over this guy. So the proportions are accurate for the angle.
Title: Re: Val's Real Art

Yeah, I kinda see that now.

Try to catch the shlong next time.

You guys are odd. O_o

Anyways, I like your comic strips XD and I like those cool pics like of the FFXI Gnoll and the colored fight scene.

Thanks.

And my penis-inclusive drawings are too big to scan. :(

I'll go ahead and quote-splice that so you don't have to

I love everyone of them! I wish I could make comics as good as you do, but my shading is so dark it looks almost gothic and I have slight problem with proportions.
Title: Re: Val's Real Art
Post by: Archem on April 04, 2009, 12:59:10 AM
I love you. You have awesome oozing from your drawing hand.

My drawing hand just oozes... Well, I'll assume it's something you don't care to hear about.

Oh **** you val. These are too good. :/

Srsly though, great stuff here. That pencil ones are awesome. I love the naked man.
I mean, the drawing of the naked man. I am not gay.

Why is everyone staring at me. I am not gay, really.
*runs*

What makes a girl loving a man gay?

Post by: Valiere on May 03, 2009, 06:00:20 PM
Ooh, them's fightin' words.

I guess I should post something new or something. So I made these comics for my FFXI linkshell (guild) that are more or less just a slew of inside jokes, but you might find them amusing. Maybe some day I'll make a Charas comic. Here's the most recent one I made a few months ago:

(http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/2604/titlecopyzu6.jpg)

The cover, done in a post-apocalyptic style for no good reason. YES, I KNOW THAT IS A DAMNED BENDY GUN. I really should use a ruler when I draw these things.....

And the art is pretty bad in this comic, but it's just for fun.  :D

You're not good enough to make 'the rest of us' look bad, in my opinion, But you're pretty good. better than me, that's for sure. Keep up the good work :D

Lucas, a toddler could make you look bad.

No. Just you.

Lucas, a toddler could make you look bad.

well, to be fair a toddler could make anyone look bad.... if it was dead... and you were there... well it just wouldn't look good.
I don't quite know why I went there.
but, yeah great stuff Val!
Title: Re: Val's Real Art
Post by: Archem on May 06, 2009, 03:48:38 AM
No. You too.
Well, yes, me too. But that's about it.


Actually, I pretty much make myself look bad. The toddler's only there to enhance that fact.

I don't know about you, but I like your comic style. I thought the girl in the background was some kind of shoulder angel alternate personality initially.

She's not, but that sounds like an interesting idea for a comic, actually.

I'm going to make a new comic for next semester. It'll be GREAT.

I wasn't actually expecting a bone to be thrown my way, so I'll consider it an honor.

Y'know, unless you cancel the idea. Which would be totally not rad, but who could blame you? I'd steal the spotlight.
