An Assortment of My Works, Then.

[FengharTheNord]

I figured it might be inappropriate to create a whole new thread for my other stuff when it could just as easily go into here, as this thread is still "fresh".

A Meldoan- WatermelonDogMan.



A Meldoan that is almost ready for harvest



Part of a cruddy comic I did that was on paper. Normally I draw my comics in the MS Paint.



A sample of my comic that I do in MS Paint. Oh and, fun little trivia fact, I drew a cross for every single one of the "main" 13 apostles of Jesus and tagged them all in facebook. The inverted cross is Judas.



I went crazy on a vacation in Texas and drew a whole bunch of nonsense.



I consider this one to go along with the previous. I have a crazy explanation for how they tie in together but its crazy and better left in my head.



Titled: "Naughty"



Titled: "Shy Egg Baby"



Titled: "This is what art is supposed to look like I guess..."



I like tying nonsensical things together. I started out drawing a sewage grate with some plates in it, because I was practicing drawing from pictures, but then I was like "SCREW IT" and started drawing a bandaged bear and a hammer heart.



A brief foray into painting, I tried to draw a woman and screwed up, instead I started drawing a flower. Then I was like, "this is boring", and drew the flower killing the gnome.



Finally, the most complete, and also my most favorite(probably because its so simple and I can't find a lot to hate about it) work saved for last.

Titled: "YAY I GOT A LADYBUG"



Anyways, I draw most of my inspiration from Zdizlaw Beksinski and Salvador Dali and the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark illustrations.

Dali gave me my fascination with the large planar landscapes and heavy symbolism(at least apparent symbolism, I couldn't really tell too much what they mean"
Beksinski gave me my fascination with post apocalyptic themes and crosses
The Illustrations gave me my obsession with drawing scratchy little wrinkles and stuff on pretty much everything and everyone.

This is all extremely terrifying.

[FengharTheNord]

That is the usual reaction.

[Edminster]

It seems kindasorta reminiscent of the stuff Stephen Gammell drew for the 'Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark'. Except not nearly as disconcerting.

[FengharTheNord]

OH man I love those pictures. I draw a lot from him but I've never achieved that amazing scratchy/drippiness that he has in those.

[AHMETxRock]

You may or may not be a better artist than I am. I attempt to draw everything freehand and without references, as to hone my eye hand coordination, but that sucks. You need to be really good at drawing to pull it off. Essentially, I am trying to push myself into finding a groove.

You might be better than me, if I put some effort into producing something. However, that would be scary, so instead I'll never put effort into it and you'll never beat me!

[Edminster]

If he had physical references for the things that he has shown us, I am never ever visiting anywhere near where he lives.

[AHMETxRock]

I meant more to the second picture. Ah, yes.

[Edminster]

Again, if he had referents for that, he lives in some strange world that I want no part of.

'xcept under acid. I'd love a trip like that one.

[LordRetard]

I'd love a trip where I walk into a desert, get ambushed by giant insects, and then run through the forest talking to myself, afraid that all of my thoughts are preprogrammed.

[cheez.wiz]

That isn't reality in the ROC? Have i been lied to?

[FengharTheNord]

Ahmet, I do the exact same thing. I only use references for things that are really hard to draw uncartoonishly* from the mind, like crabs, and for when I can't remember exactly how things look, like badgers. For instance, I needed references from a crab picture, a badger, and Ireland when producing this picture:



I don't consider myself a good artist, by any means. I have no knowledge of the technical aspects like shaping things out or even shading. But I am trying my darndest to get better and better and I believe I have grown quite a bit in even the past year.

*I could only think of pokemanz when trying to draw the crab part

You are not alone, friend. Are you drawing this and scanning at home/dorm/prison right now? I use my college's scanner. And I have to convert everything out of PDF, and it becomes a hassle.

[FengharTheNord]

Yerp, scanned at home!

That must be incredibly frustrating to convert out of PDF.
