The all-purpose ART thread! — Page 7

Here’s some Star Trek fanart I drew recently.

While not strictly Star Trek, this next one is a portrait of the actress who does play the character above =P

This next picture is a Star Wars piece which takes place in my own personal SW Universe. The man in the centre is Anakin Skywalker following his fall to the dark side and rise to Dark Lord of the Sith. The woman on his right is his wife, Nashira, while the man on his left is Darth Vader, the second apprentice and foster son of Obi-Wan. The two lightsaber-weilding figures in the background are a pair of Sith acolytes who follow Anakin (I’ll leave it up to you to figure out their identities).

Not, it's not you. I was going for that look.

Then there's Anakin, he reminds me of someone too, but I'm not quite sure who.
Shia Labeouf or Keanu Reeves?

Anakin's wife looks kind of like a blow up doll...

Not to rag on the picture, I really like it, the slight resemblance just kind of amused me. I like Anakin's scar and I really like Prowse as Vader. Anakin totally looks like Leo, you're a pretty good artist.

There was so much potential in the PT. It really could have been one of the greatest things ever.

Well, yeah. Now that you mention it she kind of does...

This next picture pretty much blows my Internet anonymity away. But what’s in a name, anyway?

And just in case anyone’s wondering, the lady to the right is Jennifer Connelly (I don’t think I have to spell out who the lady on the left is).

This is just a rough sketch I did while having to sit through a boring English class. It turned out pretty well for something I had no references for.

I titled this one Self-Portrait of a Serial Psychopath for obvious reasons.

This is a reworking of an earlier piece.

This was a World War I project I had to do for my Social Studies class. It’s full of deliberate anachronisms.

I wouldn't say it's art, but I hereby donate this to the greenpenguino gallery in the interest of maximum public exposure.

Approved!

 Such disappointment... Greeny hasn't used this once.

As it's Christmas here are a couple of Crimbo Cakes I decorated for my mum years ago...

I had never heard the term "Crimbo" until NuWho. I like it!

If you want my opinion the following remind me of...

                          ^ Jennifer Lawrence       ^ Leo DiCapprio         ^ David Prowse

(Plus The Bride of Frankenstein and Yul Bryner lol)

You hit the mark with DiCaprio and Prowse. Nashira was based on Jane Fonda, though.

Great art guys,.....what got you all into art?

Star Wars came out when I was 9, I was already artistic, but drawing Star Wars characters & vessels really pushed on my interest.

Art on paper & model kits etc

I've been drawing for as long as I can remember. I mostly drew pictures of Batman, police cars, and skeletons back in Kindergarten/Grade 1.

This thread never really caught my attention before, but I think I'll be brave enough to share some of my artwork (sorry that the pictures aren't showing up. I'm not having any luck making them display properly in the post, so you'll have to right click and select "Open Image in New Tab" if you want to see them).

EDIT: Fixed photos.

^Sorry it's so dark. The pics I took of it with a flash didn't turn out very well and I had bad lighting. I might replace it with a scanned image when I can get a scanner working. This was my first oil painting, and I have since begun a second. This is the incomplete monochromatic:

I also do a lot of drawing. This is a typical drawing of mine. I believe I did this particular one when I was twelve:

I don't usually use a reference when pencil drawing, but draw whatever comes to mind when I'm drawing (well, not whatever, but you get what I'm saying) and incorporate most of my mistakes into it.

I'm also into photography. I'm just beginning to learn specific techniques, but I've taken some decent photos while experimenting. I have a good camera, which helps, since the automatic mode is more advanced than in other cameras. :)

Below is a link to my main Flickr page. I usually focus on fish in my aquariums, other living things, sunsets, and clouds. All my photos are unedited except for cropping (I tend to edit photos far less than my posts here :P). And I know I somewhat blew my anonymity (for most of you) but I'm honestly not too concerned if you know my first name (it really doesn't mean anything anyway, especially since it's so common).

Thanks Ryan, both for the help and the compliment. I'll see if I can get those pictures to display properly now.

As a change of pace from my drawings, here are some collages I've made over the years.

Some more drawings of mine.

I found Vincent surprisingly easy to draw. Usually, I have trouble drawing faces that are on angles like this.

This is the poster for the Ep. I rewrite I’m currently writing. Obviously, it is based on the poster for TPM.

Unfortunately, the scanner picked up too many of the wrinkles in the paper, throwing the whole image off. Also, the lightsaber looks too red; it’s supposed to be pink.

Just a little tribute to Trance Gemini, the beautiful pixie I’m currently using as my avatar.

I’m very pleased with how this drawing came out. I’m reticent to use only pencil crayons in a drawing as they’re next to impossible to erase if I mess up, but I got incredibly lucky and everything came together with a minimum of fuss.
