The Good Art Thread

[Joe Siegler]

Can you draw? Show off your talents by posting your creations here.

This thread is called "Good Art", because posting of crappy gibberish line art drawings in MS Paint are not welcome. If you ignore this, your post will be mercilessly deleted, without warning, and we'll kick a few puppies in your name as well.

I would prefer that you use places like www.imageshack.us to host your images, and not use the file attachments here unless necessary.

/me can hear Micki! rejoicing at the return of this one.

I designed this for acoustic/folk musician & friend John Statz ( http://www.johnstatz.com )

It will be printed at 11 x 17 along with postcard size. Although just that print suffers from a slight red cast as it was a Kinkos digital print, just for my portfolio. So reprint is in order.

/me can hear Micki! rejoicing at the return of this one.

That's indeed what i'm doing :woot:

This is a random drawing i made of Duke...
It was actually drawn on a small piece of paper, so the pencil lines look sort of thick and unclear as i have rezised it to a bigger size... It's not very big even when it's rezised though, so i won't thumbnail it

I'm happy this thread has returned :)

Phait's pic above looks cool btw, i like it :cool:

[huey_yeng]

Well since I'm an art student at the moment so it is more than happy for me for the Good Art Thread make a return! (squeals cos it is the best gift ever for me since it is my birthday today though now burning the midnight oil doing movie assignments)

Here's some work which I have post in my DeviantART gallery:

http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/9672/kylestahndamy2.th.jpg (http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/9672/kylestahndamy2.jpg) http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/3062/isitfinallydoneyq0.th.jpg (http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/3062/isitfinallydoneyq0.jpg) http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/682/tobeydabz3.th.jpg (http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/682/tobeydabz3.jpg)

I'm not sure how many people here actually like manga art style but I for one grown up with manga hence my art style though I still love drawing realistic work.

Btw all my work are done in Photoshop and Painter.

[Phait]

Great rendering of Tobey, spotted that right away.

Micki, angular features on Duke could make for some good shading, so add some shading!

[Micki!]

@huey
It's my understanding (or at least, this is how i am) for any artist to respect, and understand any art style...

That said, i also like Manga style drawings, as well as anything else of course...
Your stuff looks cool, i really like the colors (especially because i suck with colors, i never really do colors :o so it's cool seeing what i have to catch up with :D) Peter Parker is REALLY cool :D
This is a recent Drawing i have made, which also is Manga Styled:

@Phait
It's just a small sketch, of a random drawing :o
I wouldn't bother shading small stuff like that, i leave that to fully sized actual drawings :o

[huey_yeng]

^^ Wow I really like how you keep your artwork neat Micki!!

Your pencil strokes are clean and preferably you can improve your proportions and perspectives in your future work.

Since you can handle pencils really well you should explore colouring (well I recommend you try out traditional medium first before colouring digitally though it is not necessary to follow what I suggest) :)

I did actually make an attempt of colouring this same picture in Photoshop, but it didn't end well...

Mainly because i started to use Filters on it, to make no traces of actual Pencil markings... Pretty much every little detail got blurred and pretty much, ugly... And afterwards colouring it, made it look messy because of the missing (-blurred ugly) detail
I should have coloured it as it was, and never had used Filters at all... It's a beginner thing, i'm not used to Photoshop's features, only the brush tool :D :(

Erh, thanks for the comment btw, i have a great bunch of these kinds of pictures, perhaps we could share more with each others interests over MSN, if you like..?
PM me if you'd like to add me on MSN :)

[Jiminator]

Both of these are from some 25 years ago. I could do the various media pretty well, but my tendencies were towards the mechanical, not as much artistic, so I didn't really have much interest towards persuing it.

[DavoX]

I like them!, What 3D program are you using?

[ADM]

Lightwave for those, it's not too bad. I was a 3D Max guy a couple of years ago but I'm using Lightwave for uni and while I hate the idea of them splitting up the program between modeller and layout the other stuff is pretty cool and easy to use :)

[Phait]

I tried learning G-Max but I couldn't even get the hang of how to chamfer an edge :o Then I knew I had to give up.

[Micki!]

Haha @ 3D-Homer :D

Marty's MAD Cover is awesome
I'd love to see a collection of every one of those you have made :o

[Tang Lung]

Fairly quick PS job to try and get me out of a procrastinating slump. Pretty lame in retrospect, and I got lazy with the legs (he's er..coming out of a pool of goo..yeah, that excuse will work!)

http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/8924/skullfacemandudefh5.jpg

[Blade Nightflame]

Hope Joe won't mind any sprite work, this is a major project I started and finished in about.. 1-2 days, at best. Design was the most annoying as was trying to find methods to detail it, but it's finally done. :)

http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/8766/chaosfleetdreadnoughtmosl1.png

[Micki!]

It looks very cool :D

[Phait]

That's very nice. I'd like to see a full game.

Hehe nice..

That's very nice. I'd like to see a full game.

Unfortunately, I did this sprite (And two other ships) just for fun. :D;

[Micki!]

Damn you, put them in a game already :tinyted:

[Blade Nightflame]

I'll only do sprite work for an attempt fan game I'm trying to do, in the style of Duke II. We'll see how it goes, I might share it's resources if it turns out atleast okay. :)

This one was made first, and this is the 2nd latest one:

I made this hand over at school when i was bored...
I used my own hand as reference, just made it somewhat more muscular, and with pointy nails...

Could be better, but i really don't have all time in the world at school for such things, and i'm too bored to actually improve it :o
It was done on A3 paper though, so i couldn't scan it, so this is actually a Photo

Woohoo! My fav thread is back! http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y26/gt1750/Slimeys/metal.gif

Great pics so far, guys!

Pixel car looks really cool... I like the reflection alot

I don't think i need to comment on that cool Duke car another time :D You know i think it's awesome

[Phait]

Great rendering on that black car, looked like a photo in the thumbnail.

[Blade Nightflame]

The GT1750 could use some AA (Read it up, doing that in sprite work is possible. :)) and some hue shifting for the colors, but otherwise, great. :)

Does Dark work for EA now? Or is that some other old forum member?

Anyway, you guys have some great stuff here!

[ADM]

Yeah he works for EA. Well he did, not too sure if he's still there now.

[Altered Reality]

Are photoshoppings allowed in this thread?

[ShadeEX]

I'll post some more drawings once I've made them..

[Joe Siegler]

Are photoshoppings allowed in this thread?

No. This is for originally created artwork.

[Phait]

Would stuff like http://www.damnengine.net/artwork07.html qualify?

[huey_yeng]

Some doodles I did a few hours ago:

http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/8430/toaguycecilnb0.jpg (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1174)
Guy Cecil from Tales of the Abyss. Did this in Painter.

http://img382.imageshack.us/img382/4628/marcusfenixcopybv3.jpg (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1174)
Well you all know him really well. :p It's an old speed painting work of mine where I retouch it just now and added a quick and simple background. The rough sketch was done in Painter before bringing it into Photoshop for details.

The goal of both work is for conceptual visualizations where fast and semi finish rendering is a must though sometimes I will polish up some work that I enjoy a lot until it looks professionally done. :)

[Phait]

Are you looking to do concept art in game industry? Also have you seen Feng Zhu's work?

[huey_yeng]

@Phait:

Yup that's one of my aim besides being a comic artist (or manga-ka since I'm really into manga).

I saw Feng Zhu's work over at CGSociety. He's more of a traditional artist with simple use of Photoshop for colouring concept. If not mistaken he did mention of working for Duke Nukem Forever though I'm not sure of that status at the moment.

[DavoX]

He made some pigcop sketches if I'm not mistaken. Or maybe I saw someone else's pigcop?

[huey_yeng]

My colour pencil assignments which span around 4 days on and off. Roughly took me around 8-9 hours in total.

A portrait of Nico Rosberg. Sorry for the uber cheap picture quality due to the paper size which is A3 size. I'm lazy to scan in two parts and merge them in Photoshop. :p

http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/6782/nicorosbergtd8.jpg

EDIT: I scanned the drawing. :)

[SonnyBonds]

That's awesome! :insomnia:

[DavoX]

Very very good, I hope i can be as good as you some day.

[Steve]

Awesome stuff, Yeng!

[huey_yeng]

Thanks for the compliment! :D

Anyway I'm accepting request from you guys be it a Duke fanart or videogames related. I'm more than happy to keep this thread happening. :)

Just reply here or pm me.

[Steve]

How about JC Denton from Deus Ex? :)

[SonnyBonds]

A picture based on Gabriel Knight would be awesome.

[Dave-ros]

Did these a few years ago -- sketches on paper then colours in CorelDRAW. Dunno if my skill still reaches this high. Needless to say, they're all G1 Transformers :dopefish:
http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/6761/tracks150dpicolourbf2.th.jpg (http://img389.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tracks150dpicolourbf2.jpg)http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/965/shockwavezi4.th.jpg (http://img182.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shockwavezi4.jpg)http://img107.imageshack.us/img107/3747/optimusprimehv8.th.jpg (http://img107.imageshack.us/my.php?image=optimusprimehv8.jpg)
The Tracks one was just a straight fill-in of the sketch lines, while the Shockwave one involved turning the sketch into 2D shapes and filling them individually (and removing all the extraneous nodes that kept creeping in). The Optimus Prime one is, of course, just a pencil sketch ;)

[huey_yeng]

^^ I love your Optimus Prime sketch! :D

Well one pic of JC Denton and Gabriel Knight coming up next!

[Steve]

Well one pic of JC Denton and Gabriel Knight coming up next!
Nice man. Very nice :)

You know, i am sort of working at Duke4.net, where i among things, also post fan-submissions... that being, mostly fanarts...

People don't submit stuff often though, most stuff is actually sketches done by me, as "fillers", because we need sufficient amounts of submissions before i can post it on the front page

If you happen to make any Duke related stuff, send it to me, and i'll include it on our next batch of Fanart for the front page :)

Erh, i am busy, i can't post stuff just now :o

[edit:]
I wasn't busy afterall :o

I have no recent stuff i scanned for now, but here's that pigcop i made in photoshop once (can you believe this is my first attempt..?)

I still am very confused with photoshop and how it works... There's not many features that i know how to use at all :censored:

[Phait]

That's much better than your usual work - refine that style and go with that.

[Micki!]

Thanks...
You like that better than my Handdrawn stuff..? :o
I still prefer using Pencil though, feels more natural to use...

Here's an old Alien i made on paper, and also posted in all the previous Art Threads

It's from sometime January 2006...

[Phait]

Yeah because it shows tons more effort than your Duke and manga/anime stuff.

[Micki!]

Makes sense, i DID put more effort into it :D or, sort of... It's easyer to do certain things in Photoshop
Pretty much everything i make on paper is sketch-work, or cartoon stuff...
I rarely bother taking a piece of paper and telling myself to pull myself together and get going with a masterpiece..!

Photoshop is easy to add detail into though, so that's why i make alot of it (detail that is)... If it was as easy to edit a picture like that on Paper with a pencil and eraser, i'd draw MUCH more such things, with pencil :o

@Steve: Since this is a commission, I'm treating it like real life commission where if you approve this thumb then I will proceed to render more details and upload the final work at my DeviantArt gallery as part of my portfolio. :)

@Sang: Yup it is possible to render "painterly" style of artwork by using colour pencil and I'm referring to the wax based type and not those water colour pencil. ;)

Well, it's not finished yet, perhaps that's why they're not there yet, haha

Here's a postcard print from my first post in the thread, John had them set out on tables at his gig tonight:

Apparently the printing place had problems getting the back aligned (many of the other print's backside was knocked out of place more than this particular one), though I asked if they had problems with the files and didn't seem to.

Just finished this skin for the Porsche GT3 RSR, in GTR 2, inspired by the P-51 Mustang warbird.

The only thing I didn't make was the base template (has all the body creases, dirt, fine details, small parts, shading) - just the metallic body, putting in the Army Airforce logo, checkered pattern, fake exhausts, etc.

You really seem to like armor and swords Fibbles :o

@DavoX
How come he's punching with his left hand, when that knuckle thingy is on his right hand..? :D (not that it matters at all)

[Mr.Fibbles]

I'm in a phase right now. I am stuck on classical/late classical military period and need to get all the artistic juice out of it before I can move on.

And it looks more like he is elbowing him before giving him a good hard punch to finish him.

He's punching with the left elbow because that's the arm that happened to be closer to the guy. He probably finished him off with the right arm after that.:D

[Micki!]

That's what i figured on a second thought, after what Mr.Fibbles suggested :hhg:

JC Denton looks nice, but kinda young. Maybe add some facial expressions. Like marks of getting older. And also, you could change the face in the game, who talked about his appearance.

http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/1944/nickscanlv3.th.jpg (http://img221.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nickscanlv3.jpg)

Well I asked a friend to photoshop in some color and add some cool looking effects to it. This is what he came up with.

http://www.violencemedia.com/images/toybox.jpg

I'm also working on a tattoo design for a buddy, I've got a rough sketch done... now to redraw and finish it up. I've thought of actually going up to the tattoo shop and seeing if they would be interested in what I draw instead of waiting for friends to want designs.

[DavoX]

Speaking of tattoos...how much should one charge for one tattoo, and by what terms? Size, colours, difficulty, etc?

[Damien_Azreal]

I usually charge 50 to 100... depending on size, how long it takes to draw, the amount of detail... stuff like that.

Of course you can always charge more if you want, but I think for what I draw it's a good price.

EDIT: Just finished the design a few minutes ago. He gave me the basic idea for the design... I did what i do.

http://img77.imageshack.us/img77/2471/tattooyv7.th.jpg (http://img77.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tattooyv7.jpg)

[peoplessi]

I wouldn't tattoo that to me, but cool nonetheless ;)

[Phait]

Yeah that's very good, I like it more than your past work.

[Damien_Azreal]

Thanks.

I've done lots of designs like that before, slightly different... but I'm pretty open to suggestion.

But I have a hard time drawing real people... for some reason I do much better while drawing if I can take reality and twist it to fit my odd view. I'm a surrealist... :D

[SonnyBonds]

That's a kickass design.. Nick (?) ;)

It's not something I would want tattooed on me but that's just because it's not my style at all. It looks very cool though! :cool:

[Damien_Azreal]

Yes, my real name is Nick. :) I always sign stuff like that.

[DavoX]

Is it me or someone deleted my post? WTF?.

I was saying that you should use ink or darker strokes on the drawings, that way they will look much cooler. How is that a post to be deleted? :o

[Damien_Azreal]

I did use ink.

I only draw in ink, I just didn't press down very hard... plus I really REALLY held back on detailing. And didn't push down as hard as I usually do.

I may redraw it, making personal changes for myself... adding in more detail and giving it more of my own personal style.

[DavoX]

Or maybe it's the scanner or something, because I don't think that the ink would look brown or anything like that...

[Zztx]

Damn my scanner, damn my scanner to hell...

Doing some art for a friend's tabletop RPG that he plans to publish. The work in progress is much larger, but I've been working pretty intently on the head for the last couple days and wanted to experiment with the lighting, so I made myself a wallpaper.

The drawing is done in ArtRage 2.5 with a 5x4 graphire3. The shitty colorization is PSPX.

Tyhat's true, just keep using it... I deffenately thought it felt wierd as well, but i'm getting more used to it for every day i use it... (not that i use it every day at all though, haha)

[Phait]

Usurper thats pretty good, interested to see more.

I did this character with a graphic novel story and concept in mind. I am not a real skilled drawer, I don't know anatomy or concept of shading lighting.

My biggest issue is: I have absolutely no patience. Once I make a mistake, **** it - I give up. This is why I've been doing graphic design for so long - it's so much more focused, precise - and I enjoy taking my time. It just works better for me.

So I doubt this will ever see life beyond the drawing - although possibly a game mod, I think the story would make a fun game. He is a thief and it's how he makes his living.

It started off as un-referenced, but then I came to my senses and thought 'hold on...I can look at porn, and be productive at the same time! and get away with it!!' so in about 30 seconds I found an image in roughly the same pose and adjusted it for errors, then carried on with the reference on my other monitor.

[Blade Nightflame]

Kinda God of War ish or UT3. :p

[motionblur]

@Dead Chief
The shading is good so far but it doesn't feel right.

The lips are far too narrow....
A general rule of thumb is that the left and right corners of the mouth end below the pupils of the eyes in neutral position.
See this little sketch here.
http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/4702/face1en0.jpg

The eyes are too small, too.
Unless you wanted it that way .... since they're glowing and stuff :D ;)

Stick to it and practice. You'll become better and better :)

Used photo of a friend for reference, that wasn't hi-res at all... decent resemblance, but I really don't like my drawing style. It's very... it tries to be realistic, but fails... not as smooth, too many thought out strokes. It's just nothing like this: http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/7251/web17b00d214pv7.jpg


http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/7987/reyeszw6.jpg

Two words...Practice and Practice.

And add highlights to the eyes, they will look much more realistic that way and it will give them the "wet" look.

[Phait]

Yeah the photo I was going from only had those 2 typical highlights. I was trying to be pretty faithful.

I don't intend to practice though, I have very little patience for drawing, I gave it up after high school mostly. I just felt like drawing her.

I've had an idea since a few days ago for an original/custom rally car. I want to take a look at a few compact/midsize sedan cars and get an idea of general proportions. Then draw a real basic car profile, and the front/back on paper. From there, finetune all the curvature, etc. From there, finalise it and scan, and render in Illustrator. I'd like to do a quarter-angle shot but that'd be kinda hard to approximate.

[Micki!]

So, it's gonna be either front, back or sideways..?

I'd prefer a 1/3 view of a car...

[Phait]

Yeah but that'd be kinda hard. Although much more interesting.

[Micki!]

Yeah but that'd be kinda hard. Although much more interesting.

Yeah, i'm just saying, sure you can draw it more simple, but then you might not be NEARLY as happy with it, than if you had attempted an angled view of the car... Even if some proportions might end up looking a bit off, i think the illusion of "a cooler view" makes it up for it...

It's a hard choice for a perfectionist, especially if it's an impatient perfectionist...:o

[Phait]

^ The rendering on that is pretty nice, but I'm guessing the eyes should be bigger - also you can't see the shape of the eye (upper eyelind), so they feel flat compared to the rest of the rendering.

[Dead Chief]

The eyes are wrong, yes. But in the real picture they are even smaller than that.

[Micki!]

I like the hair..! :)

[Phait]

Another thing I noticed was the top of the head seems flat. I think it's only because the right side of her face (i.e. on the left of the picture), her forehead is a bit concave - which doesn't look aligned right with the direction/flow of her hair parting. It may not be real obvious but you kinda have to look for it.

[Micki!]

If it's not too much to ask for, perhaps we could see the original..?

Ho'kay, slight dilemma:

I want to design my own rally car as I mentioned above. Original idea is to draw it on paper, then scan it and sharpen it up in Illustrator.

Althooooooooough, it would look so much more interesting and cool as a 3D model. But I've tried modeling before, and I can't get the hang of it too well. Not only that, it would take much more time to finish. I attempted a .357 Magnum in a Quake modeling app which was fairly straightforward it seemed (then I extruded it)... but then I tried GMax some long time ago and couldn't chamfer even a a cube :o

[Mr.Fibbles]

Blender.
But there is that learning curve; there are also a lot of tutorials (this one being the best for starters (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro)).

Also, if you have a picture of what you are modeling, it is eas(ier) to model it.

[Phait]

I hated Blender, it's interface is so WEIRD, don't know why they can't stick with a tried and true interface and work flow.

Yeah, I used a picture with the .357 - I think it was called orthographic projection or something.

[Mr.Fibbles]

you can change the interface in Blender.
I set my own interface up the way I like it and others use other interfaces.

Please don't start this discussion. It has several reasons but the most obvious is - it just wasn't designed that way from the beginning and now it's pretty much too late to change it without having to rewrite about anything of Blender.
The workflow works very good the way it is, though. And while it certainly is different - the polygon modeler is very powerful. Also you will most probably never find a better 3D Program for free. Not it the near future, though. :)

I didn't make this... but it's great and man they should do a live action movie or at least episode:

That picture is pretty awesome indeed... I'd love to see a real life movie of the series... Would be hillarious

Anyways, the thread is actually about sharing your own art... Showing what other artists have done, is more of a 'post thread' thing :o ;)

Haha!!

Micki!, you need to make a template out of that and spray it all over the walls of your town/city. All will know the name (and grinning visage) of MICKI!

[Samji]

@Phait: That's pretty damn good. I'm guessing Illustrator or some similar vector package?

[Phait]

Yeah Illustrator.

Here's an on/off comparison:

That's lookign cool Tang :cool:

It looks like the stuff people make at art school :o

[Tang Lung]

I got kicked out of art school :(

but then I went back! and all was well! and I met a girl there....and then we broke up....thanks for reminding me Micki! :(

:p

[Micki!]

I gave art school a chance, was there 2 weeks, but didn't like the place... :(
They just do stuff there in ways that do not interest me at all...

So i'd rather learn myself to make up some homemade style... At least then i can call it original, even if it's not looking like every single other identical pic of some butt naked mans back, or a broken vase wioth cloth on it (COME ON, SERIOUSLY... if i wanna learn this, show me HOW to do, not let me sit there and say "Go, make it" and expect me to improve after a few years... Geez)

It reminded me of a hand i drew the last day i was at Art School... i was in a hurry (very short day for me that day) but it got, uhh, finished... i guess...

It's my own hand, and i tell you, i couldn't use my hand correctly all day because i had it in that position too long :D

I like that, quad-pedaled thing on the buttom center of the page :D

[Tang Lung]

It's my own hand, and i tell you, i couldn't use my hand correctly all day because i had it in that position too long :D

Thank God it was your left hand then ;)

[Micki!]

Thank God it was your left hand then ;)

Yeah :D

That pose for the fingers and such looks alot more interesting though, it's just giving some horrible cramps (sp..?) when doing it too long...

Didn't take so long to make it anyways, but long enough for my hand to hurt...

I made this pic of Duke some time ago, on one of those little phonenote papers... It turned out sort of wierd, but whatever, it's just anotehr sketch... (i shouldn't press so hard when sketching though, it makes it look ugly, and hard to edit)

I know there are toons of critics in here, so let me state the obvious beforehand

Neck looks wierd, Belt on his right shoulder is too centered, and should be moved closer to his right, Sunglasses should be placed longer down, He's not actually blond-looking, ear looks wierd, strange angle, as if it's bend longer backwards, the gun doesn't look right (although, makes sense, i don't know how to draw a desert eagle out of my head, i usually look at a pic and add what looks right... in this case, alot is looking 'off' because i had nothing to look at...)

There, what else did i miss..? (seriosuly) :o
I should do less sketches and more drawings btw, too bad i rarely feel like it :D

Here's a James Bond-ish guy i made in MS paint, haha

http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/5945/jamesbondlh7.png
Sometimes i draw wierd things like this, usually only over MSN's drawing feature though

I also made an Alien at school, i do it sometimes, when we have small pauses, and i got nothing else to do

I dodn't think it turned out that well though, now, if i had more time for it, i would have made many changes and improvements... But i'm waaaaayyy to do this... Atm, haha

[Tang Lung]

That Alien is frigging awesome Micki!

Thanks, although, i don't like it at all :(... i just show the most recent stuff i made... It doesn't live up to my standards at all...

I like that hand btw :D
I have never done stuff like that, and probably never will, until the day i WANT to draw a skeleton hand :o Like when making the grim reaper and stuff...

I get tempted to do exactly that though haha (Drawing the grim reaper)

[edit:]
This monday i made some sketches for a comic i am making... They look very bright, i blame the scanner :o

At first i thought i had done all art i needed for the comic, but now that i'm in the state of puttin it all together and make sense, i realized it would be both easier to understand, and better looking if i added some additional art to it... It's using Manga styled artwork btw...
