Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: GandalfTheOld on February 25, 2004, 05:51:50 PM To make it realistic, or non-realistic?
Sci-fi'ish or still anatomically correct? Proportions right, or make one part of the body huge and the other small? Just some things that came up earlier during Calc II when I couldn't get myself to concentrate... I started drawing this girl... with short skirt and long sleeves, holding a gun straight ahead... Somehow ended up with a pose that makes her look like she just rolled in and took aim to shoot. (haven't managed to get the head drawn in yet at the time of this typing) She has left leg bent close to her body to soften the landing, with her right arm held out backwards to balance and to catch herself when she goes backwards from the ricochet. Problem is, she's right now holding the gun left-handed, which I suppose isn't all that of a big deal, but when I think of a girl, holding a gun (and a .14mm one at that) with just one arm, I started wondering if a school-age girl like that could actually hold one and shoot decently with a pose like it... Maybe its because I'm not a left-handed person... (I gotta try scanning the drawing in when I have time to show what I really mean... even if the head's not done. its got bunch of calc stuff scribbled all around XD) Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: mole on February 25, 2004, 05:54:02 PM do the realistics really matter? aslong as its 'asthetically pleasing' and a nice pic people will like it just about anything it is
Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: Perdition on February 25, 2004, 06:06:19 PM *agrees with mole*
as long as it looks good you dont think about whether she is capable of such things. Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: GandalfTheOld on February 25, 2004, 06:40:49 PM hmmm....
alrighty. i'll keep my head off the realistic issue in drawings ;) now the problem is how to draw the head without fudging it up... mebbe i shouldn't have drawn the whole body rather small... Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: Perdition on February 25, 2004, 06:43:11 PM yeah heads a annoying to draw. make a copy of the picture and attmept to draw the head on the copy so you dont totally screw it up.
Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: mole on February 25, 2004, 07:13:38 PM masks are gd for that, the girl weioth the gun i drew think i gave her a mask that come to the bridhge of her nose
Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: Perdition on February 25, 2004, 07:19:14 PM how come you never posted this?
Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: mole on February 25, 2004, 07:35:30 PM believe did, has the thread been deleted? ill go bump it and find the pic (sorry gand not trying to intrude)
Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: Perdition on February 25, 2004, 07:51:30 PM oh that one. that was a whiiiiile ago.
gand post her without a head. thats not that important anyways :P Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: GandalfTheOld on February 25, 2004, 08:52:51 PM heh.
i'll try, but it sucks when there's only 1 comp in the entire lab (altho there are multiple comp labs in the campus) that has a scanner, and when that comp is being used by someone that doesn't need a scanner. if she doesn't get off the comp, it'll have to wait till i get back home tonight... Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: Perdition on February 25, 2004, 11:58:49 PM well i'm not going anywhere :rolleyes:
Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: GandalfTheOld on February 26, 2004, 08:36:42 AM two doodles (i hate the scanner at home):
(http://pegasus.rutgers.edu/~gandalf/test.jpg) and (http://pegasus.rutgers.edu/~gandalf/test2.jpg) oh, and there's junk around the drawings just as a kind of contrast in size... (the drawings are only like 6cm at its longest...) Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: Perdition on February 26, 2004, 08:47:49 AM hey those are pretty good. i like the top one a lot. yeah scanners are a pain. they totally botch up a good picture
Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: mole on February 26, 2004, 06:13:43 PM o dear god no not cos please! we just finished some stuff on that
... mini skirts :D Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: GandalfTheOld on February 26, 2004, 10:20:54 PM Might as well sack the original purpose and convert it into Gand's Art Thread !!!!
newest addition from today's doodling: (http://web.njit.edu/~ttn4/test3.jpg) Left side started fine, and then the angle got blooped. Right side also started fine, and then the whole body proportion to the head got messed up ending with a head that looks small... then again I guess that's kinda how basketball players are. Oh, and I might add: I used school's scanner (yay!), and since I used lined loose-leaf paper, I touched up/erased the lines and smudges off the drawing. Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: Galmort on February 26, 2004, 10:32:28 PM This guy has really good tutorials... (http://www.artpad.org)
Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: mole on February 26, 2004, 10:32:44 PM heheh they look way nicer next time kick the moo on the scanner machine off
Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: Perdition on February 26, 2004, 10:42:19 PM I like the guy at the desk. yeah they do look a lot better.
Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: GandalfTheOld on February 26, 2004, 10:42:37 PM i know that artpad site...
but the tutorials are only helpful if you're going to use Photoshop heavily, and most importantly, to draw pictures from scratch. Not when you're scanning in drawings and for the most part putting minor touch-ups and then putting it up for all to see. what i mean is, it won't help me when i get back to my home comp that has the cruddy scanner that doesn't have photoshop. i don't exactly have time to sit down, get comfortable, and work in detail carefully with photoshop at campus... which means i probably won't be making any more uploads until monday... Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: Galmort on February 26, 2004, 10:43:42 PM Well maybe other people can...

Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: RipperRoo on February 26, 2004, 11:49:57 PM Yea, the guy at the table kicks ass.
Nice work, keep it up. Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: GandalfTheOld on May 16, 2004, 01:23:42 PM revival of my thread, but not with stuff i drew :P
(http://pegasus.rutgers.edu/~gandalf/r1217f.jpeg) i love it, devil-y yet cute! Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: Uber Peasant on May 16, 2004, 01:49:11 PM so if its not yours, whose is it? maybe we should give them credit?
Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: mole on May 16, 2004, 02:40:20 PM id sell my soul to be able to draw like that :miffed:
Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: GandalfTheOld on May 18, 2004, 02:08:58 AM a freaky drawing that i ran into during another japanese bbs surfing...
(http://pegasus.rutgers.edu/~gandalf/oekaki20040514002720.png) are you into vampires? Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: SS on May 18, 2004, 02:34:10 AM Looks like a moomin.
Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: Uber Peasant on May 18, 2004, 02:51:18 AM mole- you have a soul? :D
the blood is kinda creepy... Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: GandalfTheOld on May 18, 2004, 03:02:58 AM Quote the blood is kinda creepy... the blood? my eyes were instead fixed on the smile that girl has...it looks like it's saying it wants more of what she HAS been putting into her mouth... Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: Perdition on May 18, 2004, 04:56:07 AM aww the vampire chick is really cute. in a creepy way of course but so huggable. both are very good.

Whoot, someone else who knows Elfwood! Pleased to meet you! :D I collect tutorials, mostly about computer art, but although I'm a useless freehard artist (at the moment - I'm going to work on it soon) I've got a large number of drawing ones as well (including Anime). I'll have a dig around and see if I can find out where some of the came from and post the URLs here. Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: mole on May 18, 2004, 05:38:10 PM theres loads of stuff from elfwood round here, its just hard to find anymore
that thing is... killable Quote mole- you have a soul? its quite distorted but i think its in there somwhere, ive realised it has somthing sanister in it i juts havent worked out what yet Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: GandalfTheOld on May 25, 2004, 09:49:51 PM re-read volumes 1 through 8 of Neon Genesis Evangelion, re-watching the TV eps and finished 8.
wishing i had volumes 9+ of the manga :| Mustn't run away... Mustn't run away... Mustn't run away... Mustn't run away... Mustn't run away... Mustn't run away... Mustn't run away... Mustn't run away... Mustn't run away... Mustn't run away... NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Might just turn this thread into a place i post images that represent my mood... Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: mole on May 25, 2004, 10:37:51 PM is it not "i musnt run away"? have the distinct qoute in my head *plows through DVD's* too much effort, i need the second half of the series too :(
Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: GandalfTheOld on May 26, 2004, 01:20:05 AM probably you're right.
i'm just recalling off the top of my head what it said in japanese... Shinji doesn't say "I" in japanese. and sounds better without an "I", imo, when you're repeating it so many times... Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: GandalfTheOld on May 26, 2004, 02:49:34 PM rainy days...
i hate rainy days... rainy days... and a horrific eye-catching image to go along with... (something about mole's post about "really catch your parent's attention", too...)

really dodgy/erotic/scary/huh? Title: "Gand's Art Thread!" Post by: Uber Peasant on May 26, 2004, 07:36:09 PM very.
but that makes it even better ;) |
