well you could start by posting this thread in the right forum, called "Fan Art"

[Haanz]

Heyy!! Now I won't need to double post! Thank you!

Milsoh, I would've posted my art in fan art, but my art has nothing to do with planeshift, and therefore would not fall under the category of fan art!... this is the same sort of stuff as zorbels art! ... You just assumed it was fan art!

Anyways! For the first beautiful piece of art! this was my first sketch after a couple long period of drawing nothing but doodles in my text books and on my desk!... I took a stab at Crazy Horse! I'm not sure how many people know who he is... but he doesn't look like this! *A little history..* Actually this was drawn using a reference picture of Crazy Horse's brother! Crazy horse didn't allow for his picture to be taken so I believe there are little or no pictures of the man in existence today! Umm... look him up on google for the picture I used and for more info on him!



He looks really sad... perhaps it's because I didn't draw him well?...

Edit: one more?... I don't really like this one... it doesn't look that good on paper, but you should see it in my mind!! this was really just me remembering perspective and then... drawing a house out of it... there’s no shading here either! aaannd the dock... well it looks baaadd! ...enjoy!

Heyy!! Now I won't need to double post! Thank you!

modify button ftw?

[Haanz]

mm?? I wanted it to be organised... y'know with a first post followed by posts with my art... instead of having a first post which included my art!

[Robinmagus]

But....wouldn't it be more organized to have all of your stuff in one first post, instead of having it broken apart by peoples comments?


EDIT: SPELLINGN..err..

[Haanz]

your probably right! but I liked it better like this!

and tell me something about my art!! that's why I'm posting it here! so you guys can comment on it and hopefull give me some advice!... not to discuss my organizational skills




Edit1: 100th post! hurray!

and to celebrate, here's some more art!

some models this time... hopefully these will be more pleasing to the eye than my sketches! I modelled this a loong time ago... my goal was to make a model of a town (my teachers weren't handing out enough homework! )... these were the only to models that I finished, but I think they're pretty good!

Here's gate #1:


...And gate #2:


P.S. This was before I discovered the wonders of UV mapping

Edit2: a tree in my backyard...

[Haanz]

Ah Cha Cha! fixed up that first post pretty well!!

Heres a sketch of René Levesque! A dead quebecois politician... I think it was lung cancer. If I'm not mistaken, he was big on smoking...

I used the dust jacket from his memoirs (that's right! I have 'em!) as a reference. Enjoy...

Is it just me or does he look somewhat like the gman from half life...

Hurray for swords!!... I modelled this one a while ago... but the texturing comp inspred me to texture it! I'd really appreciate some tips on texturing here...





Edit: Blender was acting wierd on me and wouldn't rotate or scale anything... so I couldn't get you all a nice render... but screenshots are fun too!!

[tssthorn]

Is it just me or does he look somewhat like the gman from half life...

It' all in your mind lol. Ya, when I first looked, thats exactly what I thoult of as well ... but I am assuming now a days, that anyone with a suit like that, and being old will look like the gman lol. 

[Croconil]

Thats a cool sword, but is it wooden?

[Haanz]

ah ha ha... I must've said this before, but my powers of texturing still aren't what they could be...  The blades were supposed to be some sort of metal?? maybe rusted?... or maybe bronze? I didn't really have a material in mind for the hilt... maybe wood? I'm not sure how that'd work. You could always resort to your imagination of course! thats what I like to do!

I'm still looking for some tips on texturing by the way... what have I done wrong with this one?? tell meee!!
