First of all this art has nothing to do with planeshift unfortantly. Though if I had the time I would be drawing up a storm of fan art for PS.
This picture I drew, I have posted because I just can't contain my excitment and must tell the world \\o// ... I AM GOING TO SEE MARIAH CAREY!!!! She has never come to Canada and I have been a fan of her music since I was ten. Basically the start of her career. I drew this picture from the cover of the Rolling Stone, and I drew it about ...(omg I feel old :( ) ten years ago. I added the tattoo on her arm and changed some features abit on her face including eye color. I hope you like, and if it is allowed I can post more of my art, but as I said before it isn't planeshift related.
Is that ok mods? Community? Anyway .... enjoy. :devil: Now I am going to run down my back alley and tell my whole neighborhood at the top of my lungs. Heh .... like they haven't had enough with that song that karyuu posted that I LOVE so much and played over and over ......... The Bestest Song EVAR! (http://dojo.fi/~rancid/loituma__.swf)

Eeee! Very cool, Zorbels :D Whenever you make PlaneShift-related artsy goodness, definitely make a thread in the Fanart section. For general art though, Hydlaa Plaza is the best section. And I'd love to see more, whatever it is!
-
Very nice, but just 2 things I feel like picking out that I think stand out.
1. Too skinny
2. Her cheeks are kinda puffy.
But yeah, it's really good. I can still only draw stick figures ><
-
Very nice Zorbs \\o//
I can't believe Mariah hasnt perfomed in canada ::|
She has definatly been here, I met her in Hamilton on the set of "Glitter"
Hope you enjoy her show :)
-
Zorbels, let us not forget that our Mariah concert includes a visit from this gentleman:

Thanks for moving the thread Karyuu. I appreciate it and I am glad you like!
@Suno: Thanks for the constructive criticism. You points have been noted, though bear in mind that I drew this at a young age and my art has since matured. Hey wait a minute! I thought Mariah was skinny with puffy cheeks ..... heh ....
@LARAGORN: Oh believe me I will have the time of my life. I am going to try and get her to sign stroniths bald head. :woot: If I get her to do it I will take a picture and post it.
@Stronith: :'( OMG, is all I have to say! Can we skip that part of the concert? He looks crazed.
I drew Marvin The Martian for a friend who liked him, and wanted a picture of him on her binder for school.

This drawing was just recent. It took me a whole of five minutes. I hadn't picked up a pencil in awhile and feared my drawing skills might have suffered because of it. I was pleased that my skills were still kicking around.

Yay! I come read the forums after a couple of weeks break and here's artsy from Zorbels :woot:
I especially like the martian.
But good to see you're still alive and kicking Z. Don't be a stranger to irc now, you hear? ;)

:D Thank you all for your comments. For anyone who is interested I had a blast at the Mariah Carey concert. I would highly recommend if you get a chance to go see her live. She puts on a hell of a show. It took me two days to recover my voice from screaming my head off, but it was well worth it.
Anyhow, here is another one of my drawings. My daughter named it The Mermicorn. I have still quite abit to do on it for shading and details. I am abit of a perfectionist and was wondering if anyone could give me advice on how to make the scales of this mermicorn look more realistic or just look like the scales belong. I just can't seem to grasp the skill and I have never really drawn anything that had scales before. Advice would be much appreciated.
(http://img68.imageshack.us/img68/5499/mermicornyh3.jpg)
-
I have a lil' tip for the scales. :) Imagine you've got a sheet of scales, all the same width all the way across the sheet. Now mentally wrap that sheet around a cylinder. The curves at the top and bottom, from your viewpoint, will make that sheet roll over and look gradually flatter as they roll over the top and bottom edges and onto the other side (which you can't see). And as it goes flat like that, those scales appear to look thinner and thinner untill you don't see any more because obviously they start wrapping down the other side of the shape. Hope that's not too confusing. :)
But anyways. Basically wherever there is a curved edge, the scales get thinner and a bit smaller than the ones nearest your view (in this case, the scales nearest your view are the ones in the middle).
I can quickly sketch something up if you need a visual aid, or there's probably a good example somewhere on Google. I'll take a look and post it back if I can find it.
That picture is -awesome-, by the way. ;)
Edit: Phew, okay, I got it right this time. xD This image should be less confusing than the explanation above.
(http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/3794/scales02ta2.jpg)
Note you can also see the black (heavy shadow) areas underneath scales that are flowing back towards you due to perspective.
-
No it isn't confusing at all and THANK you! \\o// That actually makes sense and now I feel I can move this picture forward instead of to the garbage. Hurray! By the way, nice to meet you and I much appreciate your advice as I have heard you are quite the artist. If you can post a visual that would be lovely, if not I can work with your words and give it a try. I will post the resault here when I am finished the drawing.

:( I am afraid the internet link monster is out to get me. Copy and paste isn't working with that link either. :flowers: Thanks for trying Moogie.

Moogie never gives up! Here is the original image: http://graphics.stanford.edu/courses/cs348b-competition/cs348b-05/snake/data/scales_02.jpg
If you can view that, basically every edge to the shape is an example of how the scales are wrapping around and getting thinner due to perspective.

Like the picture :D only thing that doesn't quite look... real is the horn imo... would be better if it pointed a bit more upwards i think... let me try to explain with examples in ascii

Look what I made! I drew the pic awhile ago inspired by an artist named A.Austin. I added some animation to it.
(http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/6256/unicornanimatedyb6.gif) (http://imageshack.us)
Edit: Oh yes, forgot .... Peacer, yes you are right. The horn is all wrong. I am still currently working on the shading and details as I said in my last post. ;) One of the fix it projects is the horn, but .... good eye!

Just a sketch i did. Enjoy. Looks like this big cat's nose was broken. XD

lol No broken nose, looks like a very angry teddy bear (stuffed animal) :)
But i like it, nice sketch :thumbup:

let's just say it got attacked by a bee ;)

Thanks everyone for your comments. :D
Any suggestions are appreciated, I would like to better my drawing skills and found that the planeshift community had the most wonderful artists, so I figured I would hit them up for advice. I liked in some of the Fan art threads how the PS art community would help others in their threads and it was all good sound advice. I was hoping for this as well. Not many have responded and I am not sure if that is a good or bad thing? Maybe it's just because it isn't Planeshift art? Meh ... no matter here is another of my colored pic's .....

Feh, I get long delays before someone answer meh :P
And I don't think i'm qualified to answer yet, I don't have any tutorials to give and i'm rather lousy at giving critics, but my arrogance fights me so I guess i'll have to give it a try :D
Your style's very cartoonish, not very detailed, maybe if you worked more on the textures and adding goodies. Your drawing skills seem to be fine, clean lineart.
That's all I can think of, good job :)

He looks like he should be beating up Sylvester! Great work, Zorbs.

:D Wow ... Have not really looked around the fourms latley ... Very nice pictures Zorbels. You are very talented. :-\ Now only if I could find a way to show some of my art work. Well anyway .. I give you many Kudos Zorbels.

Thanks for your vote of confidence Croconil. I wish it were true but every artist can improve, always. I am hoping to do just that. :D
-
Tips? Hmmm I may be able to come up with a few but very few .. as when I look at your picures .. well I would say you know as much as I do Maybe more actaully.

that bulldog looks scary O.O

It looks like the tom and Jerry dog. :-\

Hi,
You draw very well zorbels. I especially like how you've used colour pencils in the bulldog picture. The lion, ostrich and horse are nice too. I like the horse most of them, as it's of more complex perspective. Hmm, have you drawn these from a source, or from your head?
Both the line darkness and width count. In some cases it may be good to slightly erase the lines where the light hits the most. Eg. in the horse picture, the shape lines are pretty heavy. Remember that you don't have to encircle the shape with a line, instead some spots can be left open.
-
the horse's cheeks could'ave been a little smaller i guess, else... it's quite cool
I don't really have any other comments for the other piccies other that i like the lions hair xD, could you draw some long on me ::)?
-
Yeah, thats the only thing with it, the cheeks are a little large. Looks a bit like the horse is holding his breath :P
Otherwise, as good as ever Zorbels! :thumbup:
-
@Cherppow: Thanks for your imput. :) I never noticed the cheeks on the horse sketch till you said something, and now that I am looking at it you are right. Cheeks are to big. I think Croconil is right, it looks like the horse is holding it's breath. I have the biggest urge to redraw the horse and have it blowing a bubble with bubble gum. I noticed when it comes to drawing I do have issues as to where to put the shadows and where to have dark lines vs lighter lines. I am working on this issue by trying to draw real life objects by the kitchen window. I get alot of sunshine through that window so it casts shadows around the backside of the object, creating the perfect tool to help me work on it.
The Lion, Ostrich, Horse, Mermicorn, Gruffen, and Tiger are from my head. The rest of the art is inspired by other artists. I am not sure what you would classify the Mariah carey drawing. I guess that is my art with someone else's idea? I enjoy taking art already done and recreating it with my own little twist. I do this usually when I am in the mood to draw but can't think of an idea.
This is the first dragon I drew ever. It was inspired from an original picture in a D&D book. I loved it so much I wanted to see if I could draw it. Hope you like.

Thats actually REALLY good Zorbels. :thumbup:
Kudos! :D
-
O.o I regret not having checked this before now. Wow. Taaaaaalent. :>
(Wanting to come up with something atleast to be considered constructive criticism, I looked the picture over a few times.. I can't really see anything wrong, besides the left(his left) talon. Just looks a little odd. And the far ear. But that might just be because I ate it. )
-
Really? Thanks Xeraans. Heh .... ya I guess the left does look a little *Zorbels searches for the word* erm .... deformed? :P Ya that sounds right, it looks deformed. Personally I hate the tail. I couldn't get it 3Dish and I think it looks way to flat. I just don't know how to make it look right.
-
/me pounce hugs Zorbels
Nicely done milady, nicely done.
-
I looked at the left-side of the tail, and the shading made it look just fine, to me. But went back and checked the right side, and it just seems the placement of the..spines..spiny..things are off. :) Also, I retract my statement about the ear, I see now that it is also a spiny..thing. While I don't know much about dragon/reptile anatomy - or any anatomy at all, really - I assume that the spines are supposed to be right over the actual spine of the dragon? And in that case, since the tail is an extrension of the spine, it just curves over too soon.
Whenthe tail comes into sight from around the rock, they shouldn't be on the top or front yet, but on the back-side fo the tail, then as it comes around to the front of the rock, the spines would be clearly visable. Being how big the.. spiny things are, they probably would be slightly visable just above the tail, when it comes around?
Err, if you can make sense of any of that. Maybe this'll explain what I'm talking about more?
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v37/Xeraans/dragonkt5-edit.jpg)
Though, I'd wait until an actual artist got here first. XD
Still, lovely art! I can't believe I missed this thread for so long.
-
YAY! more art from Zorbs!
*pouncetackleglomp*
-
The left wing is perfect. I can see this dragon was in a battle and the wing was dameged, as a result it grew a little larger to compensate for the weakened state.
Great work zorbs :thumbup:
-
O.O Omg... that dragon... love it <3 I really have no comments for it... other than... <3

Thanks Xeraans, the visual really helps. Good sound advice that I shall put to use. Much appreciated. :flowers:

Well this thread started out with my love of a Diva and her music. My husband is the sweetest and got me an early christmas gift. I figured I would share it.

Glad you finally got to meet your diva :)

Well, hmm...
For you I am of course happy. I know the feelings when a fan meets the star.
Just ... I, personally, do not perfer to be a fan of a diva; they tend to believe they can float. ;)
Furthermore, I am really :o that she wears anything else than innocent white here. :whistling:

Didn't your mother teach you that if you don't have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all. Please don't fill up this thread with garbage and spam. Go eat your grumpy flakes some where else and don't rain on my parade because you are a hateful person and like to put others down.
::) BTW your post makes no sense. You can't see her face yet it looks like she was hit with a bronze lamp post ..... ummmm, ya you might want to re think that.
