Creative Work That Doesn't Deserve A Thread V5 <Dongery Penis Edition> - General

ooh exciting

[media][IMG]http://i51.tinypic.com/qyfku8.jpg[/IMG][/media] [media][IMG]http://i52.tinypic.com/2hr3g28.jpg[/IMG][/media] Military themed work. Criticism much welcomed. Also, apologies for the size.

The boots aren't too bad. They look quite well observed. You need to be far more consistent and smoother with your shading though and perhaps keep your pencils sharper as you work - right now everything looks quite harsh and scratchy... almost incomplete. What range of pencils are you using? There's room for a much broader range of values in the drawing of the boots.

Do you guys mind if I post written fiction? I don't like making my own threads for just one page of writing.

No we don't. It's creative work, it doesn't specify which kind, so try us. But I think I saw creative writing thread somewhere.

Alright then. There's no plot development whatsoever, and is literally just my character getting ready for school. However, I tried to apply my own writing style in an attempt to make it fun to read. [quote]Style of Night Page 1 There is a boy in his bed, sleeping the day away, and his mother comes in to wake him up for school. The boy, whose name is Cuon Bec Wayward, reluctantly gets up out of his bed. I mean, what kind of sixteen year-old actually wants to go to school? Any sensible person would either want to do something fun or simply sleep all day. Fighting his never-ending urge to hop back into his sanctuary of relaxing fortitude, he puts on a gray long-sleeved shirt with navy blue stripes going down the sides of the arms. Next comes the plain black t-shirt which goes over the long-sleeved tee. Cuon just loves this style; it's cozy and warm comfort with the addition of looking awesome. He then picks up his black pants that have gray stripes going down the sides of the leg and puts them on. [i]Perfect[/i], he thinks, marveling at his own wardrobe expertise. However, the dastardly part of getting ready for school appears; this is The Fixing of the Hair. Even though it doesn't come down bellow his ears, the hair always finds a way to become tangled, messy, and overall bad looking overnight. He wrestles with his greasy, shaggy black hair until it looks at least a little bit presentable. Hopefully no one would notice the few strands of hair that were disregarding the laws of gravity. Still tired, he drags his feet down the stairs and into the kitchen to eat breakfast. “Ffooooooodddd,” Cuon says, his voice becoming a victim of the nonexistent [i]I Really Don't Want to Go to School Today Syndrome[/i]. His mother, who is used to Cuon's less than perfect morning manners, places some freshly toasted buttered toast on his plate. Cuon nibbles at his toast, in a further exaggeration of his exhaustion. It happens to be remarkably good. So, instead of nibbling it piece by piece, he scarfs it down in an attempt to taste all the crunchy, buttery goodness all at once. This results in choking, so, he grabs the glass of milk and scarfs it down as well, trying not to get killed by his own breakfast. Worry not though, he is successful in his attempt. Once he is done eating, he returns upstairs to the bathroom where his toothbrush is located. He scrubs, washing away the crumbs of death from his mouth. He then proceeds to washing his face thoroughly with heaps of cold water in order to wake himself up a little more. FINALLY! Cuon is now awake and alert! [b]CUON GAINED:[/b] INT. +2 SPEED +1 DEXT. +1 STR. +2 15 EXP $0 [i]This is really stupid[/i], thinks Cuon after imagining that silly RPG-esque scenario. He then puts his blue socks on (don't ask) along with his white running shoes. He stands up, gets his backpack, and walks out the door while waving goodbye. The brownish-yellow school bus comes down the road and to a stop right where he is standing. Today is a sunny day, with near-freezing temperatures and a wind chill that would make a polar bear die of hypothermia. The trees had lost their leaves months ago and the grass is just about dead, with a few pale-green patches every now and again. [i]Just another January[/i], Cuon thinks as he steps on the bus.[/quote]

For our welcome back homework, my new Digital Arts professor asked us to choose three styles of photography editing and edit five of each. So I chose Lomotography, Tilt Shift and Vintage. I didn't use filters or anything, this all different layers put together into one image. Lomo [media]http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l110/germansoldier555/100_0390.jpg?t=1294690215[/media] Tilt Shift [media]http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l110/germansoldier555/100_0227.jpg?t=1294690376[/media] Vintage [media]http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l110/germansoldier555/100_0312.jpg?t=1294690404[/media] How do they look? :v: Side note:The Tilt and Vintage are shots I took during my 2 week trip through Japan. The Lomo is a the stop sign at the top of the street that I live on.

Frankly, they all look terrible. Have you ever looked at a proper tilt shift and looked at how Lomo photographs and vintage photographs look like? And what the hell is the difference between LOMO and vintage? Lomo is a old-school camera that takes pictures on film that are vintage. The whole vintage effect is bad processing of the film or just from having the picture layed out for too long.

[QUOTE=Nonikai;27309375]that's a pretty badass idea, maybe I could do Oni in small caps in a rubber stamp or something? possibly with strokish looking letters?[/QUOTE] Sounds cool. I agree with Dgg in that it doesn't really look "metal band" to me. I'd love to see all the letters joined together sort of like this (although this is chinese calligraphy): [img_thumb]http://www.ngansiumui.com/School/teaching_cursive-stroke.png[/img_thumb] Or as you said with the rubber stamp, though they usually carve it into stone (I have one :smile:). [editline]10th January 2011[/editline] Maybe a bit more rough with the ink strokes (you could use a toothbrush and dry brush it or something to get the textures) to make it more "metal"

His ears look elfish. Otherwise, good.

Yeah, the model has interesting ears. Thanks though.

I like the way the bass looks like it has smudge marks on it from fingerprints, neat.

[QUOTE=ChestyMcGee;27333026][img_thumb]http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/4729/bandwip.jpg[/img_thumb] Finally made a bit of progress.[/QUOTE] Looks very nice, are you using a sketch under?

[QUOTE=Detlef;27333290]Looks very nice, are you using a sketch under?[/QUOTE] Yesh, drawn from reference with a grid. I must sadly admit though that I traced the lineart for the guitars because I am lazy and was getting repeatedly screwed messing up the perspective and scale. I'm mainly doing this for brushwork practice so my conscience isn't too horrifically marred. [QUOTE=Occlusion;27333277]I like the way the bass looks like it has smudge marks on it from fingerprints, neat.[/QUOTE] Thanks! I'm quite pleased how that came out if I'm honest. Looking at the reference I was thinking "how the fuck am I going to recreate that?". It was really confusing to look at, the combination of the dust, strong reflection of light and the smudges, but I just messed around slapping on the colour and it seems to have come out okay.

[QUOTE=Mystery Penguin;27332139]Alright then. There's no plot development whatsoever, and is literally just my character getting ready for school. However, I tried to apply my own writing style in an attempt to make it fun to read.[/QUOTE] I dislike it. It doesn't flow at all, and it sounds like a person telling a story to his friends. Not reading material.

WIP North Korean propaganda thing. I dunno why but I find the DPRK theme the most interesting thing to draw at the moment. This time I paid more attention to not making a lumpy and gross face. [media]http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll239/Andokool12/IMG_0947-1.jpg[/media] Alright, what needs to be better. Oh, and I promise you guys I'll start scanning these things or just getting better lighting.

[QUOTE=Greeneyes;27330283]WIP scene from game. Hopefully will be fully animated (with people and stuff) and have a soundscape when done. [img_thumb]http://i52.tinypic.com/2qbvjas.jpg[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] I love drawings like that, just wish it were bigger. It also reminds me of an area from the first Monkey Island game.

[QUOTE=Diskless;27336213]I love drawings like that, just wish it were bigger. It also reminds me of an area from the first Monkey Island game.[/QUOTE] It can be as big as you want it Dickless. Greeneyes does it all in Flash, so it'll all be fully vectored for you to zoom in on.

seems like people think my work is pretty dumb, I suppose you won't be glad to know.. I MADE MORE! I worked on this one for a while, It's supposed to be sort of a future soldier, i'm horrible at drawing legs though, especially with a mouse, so i'll try and touch up on those later [IMG]http://i53.tinypic.com/13yo75z.jpg[/IMG] This was supposed to be an AWP, or L96A1 at first, but i guess it turned out looking more like a WA2000 [IMG]http://i54.tinypic.com/2dcer5z.jpg[/IMG]
