I've got a lot of artwork that I've posted, so it may take me a bit to get it all in this thread. I'm willing to give it a go, though.

This first piece was one of my favorites that I posted, because I had photos of the progress of the piece.

I used to play a game called Dofus and did a bit of game-related artwork.

Here is a screenshot of the original character and some of his equipment.

I chose to de-chibify the character and his fire bwak.

I usually use a sort of whitewash to ghost in the figures before I paint them.

This was painted with acrylic paint. I had received a painting set gift with paint and canvasses. I had painted the canvasses already and all I had left was the glossy rectangle of white cardboard that was part of the packaging for the canvasses. I had nothing to paint on. Just this perfect... plain white.... rectangle....

The glossiness was actually a lot of fun to work with. It resulted in highly detailed brush strokes. If I had the opportunity, I would work exclusively with glossy cardboard packaging. I've tried many substitutes, but nothing measures up to it.

Final painting:

I'm being tempted with Indian food for lunch so I am giong to run off now. When I get back, I will post more of my artwork.

And I loves you. *tackle glomp*

More artwork!

This one is one of my first paintings

And now some doodles. This first doodle was done on a yellow post it at work during a very long meeting. I took it into Photoshop and colored it on a lunch break.

Ever consider a career or a stint as a cartoonist?

sporkalicious · « **Reply #4 on:** January 07, 2009, 04:09:07 PM »

and more crafty arts to follow on next post

I had not considered a career as a cartoonist because I can't seem to pin down a style and have issues drawing the same thing over and over. Not any sort of repetition issues, just I have troubles making it exactly the same.

More artsy things!

Sculpture-

I made this when I was playtesting a RPG called Legends of Kralis. There weren't any ferret-people miniatures that I could find so I made one out of fimo. My miniature painting skills are not so great, though.

Ah, you don't need to make things look the same to be a cartoonist. Just enough to make it recognizable enough that its the same thing from before.

This guy's work (name is Brandon Bolt) is a prime example of this.

Needless to say I think you'd make a hell of a cartoonist.

I miss making weird things wif yous! I will have to posted some of mines.

sporkalicious · « **Reply #8 on:** January 07, 2009, 04:54:07 PM »

You really think so? I might give it a go, then. I actually have a lot of free time now. *ponders* I just might.

Crystal, I dug up a photo of the last thing we made as a group project. Remember the pumpkin?

Graphic Designey work, not sure if I ever posted any of it before.

Hee, the strawberry wasn't part of it. I must have miscopied, but I'm leaving it there.

Dude, that cat was HARD to carve. The rest of it was fun, though.

I still want to adapt that painting for counted cross stich. I'm not sure my design skills are up to the challenge, though.

How would you feel about it, sporks? I wouldn't be selling it.

sporkalicious · « **Reply #13 on:** January 08, 2009, 01:22:21 PM »

Oh wow!

Honestly, I wouldn't even mind if you sold it.

I'm incredibly pleased that my art inspires more art.

^.^

Go for it!

fixer · « **Reply #14 on:** January 08, 2009, 01:26:49 PM »

Cool! Do you have a full resolution jpeg you can send me? I'll print a good copy at kinkos and put my huge binders full of embroidery floos to good use.

sporkalicious · « **Reply #15 on:** January 08, 2009, 02:51:20 PM »

I do believe that painting is currently in the hands of my friend Michelle. I gave it to her before I left as she really liked that one a lot.

However, she knows several people that work at Kinkos and there are scanners there. What size/resolution would you like it scanned at? I'll see what I can do to get a copy of it.

fixer · « **Reply #16 on:** January 08, 2009, 02:58:01 PM »

I'm not sure...how big is the painting to start with?

sporkalicious · « **Reply #17 on:** January 08, 2009, 03:05:29 PM »

8.5 x 11ish

^.^

It is a tiny painting.

fixer · « **Reply #18 on:** January 08, 2009, 03:10:13 PM »

But a perfectly scannable size. I was thinking of trying it at 5x7 in 18 count but I may try it full-size if we can get a good scan.

If the scan is full sized resolution will not be a huge issue. the best resolution I can do is 18 pixels per inch!

OMG, people's art inspiring MORE art sounds liek a great thread!

I love how utterly RANDOM lots of your stuff is. Like, it's all really good, but then you really look at it, and it makes you go "huh?" ^_^

I love how genuinely disappointed and confused you seem about your gymnastics drawing turning into a bird person.
