2D/3D art

I wanted to show off a few things I've done, so I though, why not just
make another one of those silly group input thread things. So
here it is, dedicated to 2D and 3D art. maybe we can keep this
one alive for a little while =)



this
and
this are pictures of a snow sculpture I did infront of my dorms
along with a friend of mine.

I love that first shot, don't know what it is about it, but it's really cool :biggrin:

The graphics part is pretty cool, reminds me of ICO for some reason,
and those bricks remind me of the movie Labyrinth for some reason.

Oh, and I think I may have your snow phallis beat: http://img53.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1447961451030alb8nh.jpg

We made that 2 years ago.

hmmm, I like the button at the bottom of the pic that says "Report mature content" ATM :biggrin:

I don't know what you're talking about! Its just a tree and two bushes! :biggrin:

Here's something I did a while back but never finished.

Looks good, but I would perhaps add a little more pink ice cream to the middle of the scoop.

Ice cream? That possibly makes more sense. I thought it was Calpol or
some sort of Calpol-esque sugary-medicine :smile: Nicely drawn anyway, the
strong pink makes it 1000x better than it would be if left in grayscale.

You just had to tell me about the 'report' button. I thought it
was a text link and accidentally clicked it. Id say, expect it to
be gone in a sort period. But seriously, it was an accident. So
no spamming me, <span style="font-family: courier new; font-style: italic;">PLEASE!

I beg of you,don't beat me to a pulp.

I haven't posted pics here in a good year or so, so I guess now's the time. This is a series of illustrations i did for my Stepfather. He wrote a short story about Christmas in Louisiana and got it printed in a local paper in Baton Rouge. I haven't seen the paper, but the pics were included...so technically, I'm a published illustrator :razz:

I don't draw nearly as much nowdays, and I'm quite ashamed of it.... I keep telling myself I will start drawing every day. maybe I will. A couple of years ago I got into the habit of drawing daily, and saw a vast improvement very quickly.

nice work by all.....alot of skiilz around these parts..

finger....what paint prog are you using these days sir, if i may?

Doc B... :dodgy:

Those are cool, but first and last one are broken.

Hmm... don't know why those are broken.

Doc, I used photoshop and wacom tablet for those.

I love how you highlighted the guitar player (and all of them in that picture for that matter).

yeah the band picture is fantasic.

Anyone have a "big" wacom? I think I may upgrade soon

i really like how warm those pictures are ^___^ they're great. i'm so used to seeing cold colors.. Warm colors also are thousands of times more fitting to a home or most resturant environments . * keep up the good work >:D*

Thanks! One of the last big lessons I learned when,was how to manage colors better. You should only use black and white in the most extreme cases. I try to paint with a hard-edge brush using different values of colors to create the Light/Midtone/shadow version of that color, WITHOUT applying black to darken the color. Almost all new painters use white and black to adjust the value of a color, and this leads to very muddy colors. There is a science to it, and some very good tips (especailly with digital) to maintaining vibrant colors.

Doc - I have a 9x12 Wacom and it is PLENTY large enough. I don't know what you have right now, but I honestly wouldn't go any larger than 6x8. A 6x8 Intuos 3 will suit almost anyone just fine. Anything bigger is almost a waste of money.

I also have a tablet pc, that I'm trying to grow into. It's a little strange doing color work with an LCD screen, since the viewing angle changes the color, but I'm adjusting. It's really nice to sit in a chair in front of the TV, or lay in bed doing digital work.

yeh .i had to paint my final exam in art and we were all out of black .. *which is something i wasn't used to :razz: * .. long story short. i did ok.. but a lot worse that i thought i would..

Almost no one uses black paint here (unless we are doing a grey
scale). You can always add compliment colors together to make
grey and black. It can be hard to get it right sometimes but the
resulting grey has a hint of color that adds so much more to a painting
than black and white.

I find that in PS painting, layering color works really well.

Here's my contribution to this here fine thread .
It's
an animation. Get XviD or ffdshow before killing me.

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Man I miss my DSL. I love looking at the browse section but even the thumbs take ages on 56k.

Some of those people are truly gifted. Some of our people here are no slouchers.

Nice pic Glass.

The best things in life, aren't things.

I like the picture, but the only thing that seems weird is how she's
lighting the pipe. It looks like her right hand should be rotated
palm down, instead of palm sideways.

Makes sence, I made this from a photo but added the zippo lighter so
that hand is posed to hold a smaller Bic lighter, not the thin fat
zippo.

As for my Deviantart store... I make (I think) 50% of the profit over
the base price. So if the base price is $10 and I sell it for $20
I make $5. But I paid a one time $25 sign up fee, so I dont think
I'll be making any money off of this for quite some time.

DrGlass: It did it with Blender. I
just love its particle system. For those who understand a bit what I'm
talking about here's how I did the lava:

1. I created a plane mesh and subdivided it a couple of times.

2. I made it a particle emitter with slight randomness.

3. I parented a metaball to the particle emitter and gave it that lava-material.

Three steps simple lava.

I love Blender. It's UI feels like s**te at first, but once you get to know it you're gonna love it.

I just watched your short movie, and I liked it too. I liked the lava texture on the smoke / lavalamp part.

Lavalamp? It's supposed to be
a vulcano erupting(I bet I misspelled that one). Anyways it was
something I did while learning some of the gadgets, a feature test of
sorts. Nice that you liked it. Perhaps I'll make some real animations
at some point.

Dystopia - Empires

I knew it was a volcano, I just meant the animation on the texture of
the erupting lava reminded me of the motion of a lavalamp. That
wasn't very clear from my original post, but thats what I meant :smile:

I see. No offense taken.
Here's
something I did while experimenting with the fluid dynamics. Again it
helps to have the XviD codec. That animation almost killed my
poor old comp. It took 17 hours to render.

I was a little confused by the piping, but the water dripping and pooling looks really good.

does this count as art? i almost finished it this week. there's one or two things to tweak before it gets a test flight, and i'm a little worried that it might rip its wings off with the power of the motor that i fitted. time will tell :smile:

tell ya what fishman, you tell me you carved that puppy out of a tree stump, and ill call it art.. but either way, it looks damn nice... (i dont readily recall the luftwaffe being fond of green and yellow, but what do i know) ... :heee:

heh, not quite a tree stump, but close. :smile:

Art is anything we enjoy creating.

Does this count too...???

no that is 2D art made to look 3D! phonie!!!

Saweet! I always wanted to build my own, but never had enough time/energy.

One thing, though. It doesn't seem to have ailerons. Does that make the rudder it's only control surface? :S

I would have posted this image here: http://www.snarkpit.net/forums.php?forum=4&topic=4807&start=40

But its been more than 4 months and I'm not allowed to post in that thread.

So, I'll do it here instead. I was browsing the interlopers forum
and I noticed that quite a few of the members put "userbars" in their
sigs. DarkKiller was the first one to show me them, months ago,
but I didn't realize how popular they were. I think they're
pretty silly in general, but I decided to try to find a swimming
userbar. I couldn't find one, but I did find a website where you
can make your own userbars, ( http://userbarmaker.com ) so after some
experimentation... I came up with this:



I had the picture of the Swedish Goggles on my computer, and I ended up
googling a tutorial and learning how to make transparent images with
photoshop (what can I say, I'm inexperienced when it comes to image
editing). Then I used the handy website and viola, this is what I
ended up with. I have to say, it looks pretty good and I didn't
have to bother someone with photoshop skills to come up with it.

Thats a damned passable recreation of a box of cigarettes Fishman.

Next time, move that damned model out of the frame so it won't distract others from your intent.

rudder and elevator. the poor quality picture seems to hide the elevetor quite well, though. and probably some other, less desirable, facets, too. :rolleyes:

Andrei, do you still have 1000lei notes in Romania? i checked out the value of one that i've had kicking around for a while, and it seems that you entire population should be millionaires.

No we don't. Anything under 10.000 lei (100,500,1000) is made out of metal.

We're all,
indeed, (multi-)millionaires. But that's because a bottle of Coke
is ~30.000 lei . :heee:

Here is something I did for fun the other day.

Wowa fishman, thats a nice plane there, though i dont recall any of the 109 versions have such a streamlined shape, especialy the k-4 was succesfull because of the engine. Oh well, just being nit picky as a plane freak here :smile: '

Excellent sketch there morph, reminds me of esscher.

That's Spartan :smile:

But yes, nice sketch.

lol, I did one of those in my drafting class on accident :smile:

Unforunately, my drafting instructor wasn't so fond of it.

you better count this as art. ^_^

this is pretty much my final for my 3d modeling class this quarter. was going to be final but.. well, the lights, the chair... and zazi.. dangit zazi. don't let him critique your stuff. he'll give you good suggestions you can't ignor.. anyway

it was originally made for an interview (got a 3ds job after three days actively using it. awesomeness!), but they had to change things and i no longer work for them. but i decided that i must continue modeling, so I took the sucky version i gave my boss and prettied it up for fun, then decided to make it my final. tadah. this is the first scene i've made with 3ds. (aside from my lame assignments and small personal things.. like a bottle, monitor, coffee table.. )



one of those suggestions zazi made was to put fish in the tank, the logo on the tank, and put a small garden under the dome, which i'm working on now. organic modeling and I don't get along real well, but we havn't given eachother much of a chance, so we'll see how that turns out.
