"The Deep"

And Daeva's sig:


So I'd say it's pretty close!

It's ok. I don't mind a lil conversation on my art thread.

Some competition goin on here! I don't have a tablet, I'm gonna get one, but I'm real good with pencil+paper/Paint+paintbrush+canvas stuff! I'll scan some stuff later. But Oneironaut, that is an excellent photoshop painting thing.
Thereshould be some SPCs here!

Oh yeah well...

well..

I've got nothing...

Man, O, your drawing skills are incredible. Badass. You should start a webcomic if you have the time! Original characters, drawn in your style. That'd be awesome.

Thanks, man. What're SPCs?

Thanks, MoS! I would love to, if I had the time or the patience. Heh. I'm still immersed in a few too many things to sit down and start a webcomic. Definitely something I'm considering, though.

Also, I started working on another "Me" in Blender3d, so I could try to render some more scenes:



I still have to rig him and the clothes, and the necklace is just there as kind of a place-holder for now. It has to stay rigid like that, until I learn how to do soft-body physics. That way I can make the clothes and necklace behave realistically. I also have to work on the human texture a little bit, so I'm going around reading some tutorials. If anybody has any insight on how to make the most realistic human I can, in Blender, please let me know!

Another W.I.P.

Crazy amazing drawer. That's all I can say.

Thanks, Eel.

Hey O, did you uhh...get that call from me? I want my god like drawing skills back ;_;

Was just experimenting a bit and decided to do something DV related.



Made with Terragen, Blender3D and Photoshop. The original is 1024x768, but I hate when it reformats the DV page because the pic is too big.

You managed to capture a very common light quality that appears in most of my dreams. The darkness of night that still allows you to make out detail for some reason. Well done.

Thanks, Xaq. Coincidentally, that was the main thing I was trying to accomplish. I hadn't really done any night scenes with Terragen, so I wanted to make it to where it wasn't just completely dark, and there was still enough light out to see some of the terrain. Glad it struck a chord with you.

Figure I might as well post this first one, since I'm going to be trying to do a lot more of these PS manipulations to illustrate my DJ.

I had a bit of an idea that I'm going to start trying out: Instead of taking the time to draw or render scenes from my dreams, from scratch, I'm going to do some photo manipulations in PS. It's a lot more true to my original visions than just choosing standard pics off the net, and it's a lot less time consuming than drawing the scenes myself. The good thing is, though, that I can position objects and people in ways that are more close to how I actually see them, in the dream. Let me know what you all think!

I figure the artsy filters on them will let me worry less about the super-impositions looking "fake" because they look more drawn or painted in than photo-realistic. I'll still be tweaking the individual components of the pics, as much as I can, so by the time I apply the filter, they'll look as well-related as possible. hopefully, this way, I can start cranking out more depictions of my dreams.

01/11/2008 - "Prophetic"

When I have time, though, I'll still try to do some single-image shots, from scractch, either in pencil, PS, or Blender.

Here's another one from one of my favorite lucids.

01/25/2007 - "Invincible"

(Another) Illustrated Journal Entry:
10/19/2005 - "Epic Lucid Dream"

A few more sketches while taking calls at work:



You can't really tell in the original pic, but the picture of my Talia character is obviously drawn with two different pens. Just goes to show how long I take before finishing some of these.

[Edit]
Fixed the link in the above post, too, btw.[/Edit]

I noticed you draw a lot of figures. Do you ever use Pose Maniacs?
http://www.posemaniacs.com/
It is a crazy useful reference for laying out figural drawings. I've never cared much about accurate anatomy, so I rarely use it. As a general rule, I never really draw anything with eyes, anyways. I do use it when I can't get to a live drawing class, and feel like sketching some figures. It is fun to warm up with some of their 30 second poses. It might grind into your brain some fun poses for future use.

How is your drawing class going? Did it end already?

Holy crap I could use that!

That's awesome, man. Thank you. I'll definitely be using this!

Well, I've had two so far (Perspective and Fundamentals of Design). I did good in my perspective class, but my FoD class came when I had a lot of hard times falling on me, and I missed too much work to pass, so I may just have to end up taking it again. I'm not sure how many other types of drawing classes I have to go, before I get my degree, though. I definitely have to motivate myself to keep up on my general educations courses, though. I'll probably have another art class, next semester.

Post more pictures!

You should do an awesome mediveal wizard scene of some sort casting a spell destroying a dragon!

What courses are you attending? Good luck with them.

I like the art, saw your DA page, if you are going to continue to use it I'll watch you if not then I won't.

I thought about getting blender to create models. I'm learning DAZ3d right now. But I do have some snobbiness about digital stuff that I won't discuss here :-)

:-)

The model is Ex-DV member, Tamidoll.

I love this one. I remember Tami doll also. If I send you a picture do you think you can do me also? Let me know what kind of angle you want to work with. You have such an amazing talent your work is breathtaking. I can draw a little but not on the level of what you are capable of doing. Wow Very good work love.

It's cool - I understand the snobbiness about digital art. It took me little over a year to be able to accept digital art, because of the way it usually seem so much more "synthetic" from traditional art (unless it's done with a certain degree of professionalism that you just don't find everyday). One thing I've come to realize though is that, once you get into making 3D art, you realize all the work that goes into it. Even though the outcomes may differ in strengths and weaknesses, it's hard not to respect either medium, once you see the work that goes into them.

And thank you for the compliments! I really need to keep my DA gallery up to date.

Thank you, Switch. I'd love to draw you any time. I really don't mind the angle, because I like to challenge myself and draw just whatever catches my eye, and so far I like pretty much every picture you've ever posted. Heh. So I'd much rather ask you what pic of you is your favorite, and I'd most likely end up drawing that.
