although you have posted to a post with a broken link to the silk tablecloth picture, i think you are referring to the picture that looks like a girl in a miniskirt with a haze of unrelated patterns occluding her private parts.

it is not a technique. it just happened that way and i do not really know how. i was thinking in that manner and somehow the pattern emerged.


No I think he is referring to the silk tablecloth picture. It looks like a....' lotus flower hidden in a forrest' (to quote Life of Pi)
Stylistically, that is.

Why don't you want to do that again? Was the coloring process too tasking? It looks gorgeous though.


It's more time consuming than anything else. I don't have a d pad or a stylus I can use with my tablet, so I did it all with a mouse. :lol:


Yeah that was probably very time consuming!


The Huntress of the Wood

I finally got a sketch for this concept I actually loved. Drawing the feathers was very fun. Her features are a bit strong, I think, but I wanted to accentuate the Huntress strength and wildness.

What's wrong with Daffy Duck?!? He's my favourite little black duck! :lol:

it is also a pity i never backed up my hard drive. i was intensely interested in producing patterns, and i made many hundred of them (and made drill in animations as well), but after about 3 years, i felt that my patterns were starting to look similar (in essence), so the intensity of my interest waned. most people (NT (for want of a better word)) lost interest in my patterns after they had seen only 2 or 3, and one person said "if you've seen one, you've seen them all", and that disillusioned me because i realized they were probably correct.



Well, that happens to many musical as well as visual artists. The challenge then becomes to find a way to evolve your art to the next level.

Quote:
an idea that me and tammy had was to create a transparency (like a slide) that could be placed over a backlit surface (similar to how doctors display x-ray pictures) that could be viewed with the lights off.


That would certainly be more effective than any print. I can see them being used in professional settings to attract customers. Or one of your videos used for dental patients to watch. This sort of thing can make money in commercial applications. But for some people, like me for one, the hard part is taking the idea an turning it into a viable business. And then China steals it and mass produces it. Depressing.

Quote:
here is an earlier picture i created which i titled "my world", and while it is not quickly masking of it's julian origin, it does show an icy world where the light of the universe only penetrates through patterned crevices in my sky and with only a few lakes of understanding that were not frozen solid.

Image


This is my new favourite. I am probably biased by my favourite obsession - astrophysics/space. I love how the lakes seem to have the kinds of patterns that ice forms in real life.
Just awesome.


I like it too.
It looks like how you picture Pluto, or even earth itsself during the PreCambrian Ice Age.

Lara Croft
I remember wanting to play the very first Tomb Raider game when I was a kid, albeit mainly for the dinosaurs (back then I was too young to have, uh, strong feelings for Lara herself). I actually did get to play the Anniversary edition, but could not get past the T. Rex (pistols are a lousy weapon against a large theropod). Apparently the Tomb Raider franchise is undergoing another reboot now, which inspired me to draw this redesign for everyone's favorite video game heroine. I rather like how her necklace came out here, but I suck at drawing modern firearms due to a lack of practice.

If We Hold On Together
Something more soft-hearted than what I usually do, a mother Tyrannosaurus rex doting upon her little son. Pity that Mother's Day is two months into the future from today, as this would be a totally appropriate gift for my mother.

You might recognize the title as derived from Diana Ross's song, which practically became the theme song for the Land Before Time movies. I also considered naming this drawing after Phil Collin's "You'll Be in My Heart", which I actually like a little better, but the Ross song felt more appropriate for dinosaurs.

I drew a chibi version of my mom. I don't think I can explain it clearer. :lol:

EDIT: I posted this on deviantART and I already had two favorites in 30 seconds. One of the people who favorited also went and favorited a lot of my other stuff. Whaaa? :doh:

SO. F**KING. ADORABLE.

Can you draw this loathsome beast from my imagination, or at least get another person to do it, if it seems to creepy and difficult to draw:
A vaguely humanoid horned, twelve foot tall creature with twenty small black insectoid eyes on each side of the head. Large, pink, bird-like wings sprout from the back, and the legs are long, thick tentacles that end in giant, raptor-like feet the color black. The arms are double jointed and have black sword blades instead of nails. The teeth are needle-like, and the head is shaped like that of a mole. Shaggy, quill-like hair covers the entire body except for the eyes, horns, interior part of the mouth, and wings, scarlet like human blood. The tongue is a long, red tentacle, and lolls forth. The horns are like that of a ram, but the color blue. A scar on one of its strange legs reveals it has purple blood.
I hope you understand this creature is suppose to be a monster (although it would be funny to see if it was possible to make a cute version of it.) Still, I hope this isn't too hard to imagine. Good luck!

Wild Child

Black Rolle ink doodle I did while I was waiting on car service.

^ Her hair reminds me of fire for some reason.

Image
Hatshepsut (or Sobekneferu, or any other female Pharaoh in Egyptian history) shows off her leopard-skin mantle. Leopard skins are usually associated with the Egyptian priesthood, but some Pharaohs such as Seti I have been depicted wearing them on occasion. Besides, leopard print looks good on black women in my opinion.

Line art drawn and inked on paper, colors put down in GIMP.

Bright Eyes
Another dryad piece. I felt my work was lacking lately and chuck trying to have themes and just draw. been running on two hours of sleep today but I am damn proud. Used some higher grade colored pencils black ink and graphite.

Not sure how to re-size this, so here is the link as well

Just finished a bit of an "arty" conservatory in green oak..

[img][800:401]http://sessile-oak.co.uk/picture_library/FGalAC.jpg[/img]

Not really "art", as such, but I tried to take an artistic approach to the design and use as many curved timbers as I could get away with. Also, I decided that there should be no posts supporting the front of the building along its length so it's all held by three cantilevers - one jutting out from each arch.

The two most famous Queens of the Egyptian Nile, Hatshepsut (left) and Cleopatra VII (right) display their matakos. Not the first time I've drawn these historical figures' lower anatomical assets, but I was dissatisfied with my earlier efforts and so redrew them. Perfect bubble booties are harder to get right than you would expect.

I'll add highlights later once I figure out how to improve my current technique.

I didn't intend Cleo to look any taller than Hatshepsut, but she is supposed to be standing further from the viewer. Call it a perspective error if you will.

Inspired by the leader-heads from Civilization III, four portraits of Hatshepsut through the ages:
