[QUOTE=McNab;26566326]please explain this image[/QUOTE] I had just started using Blender, a friend wanted to make a band and I offered to do the album cover. A few things wrong with the picture: I was mistaken, it had over one million polies No UV mapping JPEG rape Bad materials Bad models Silly sky and lighting(what shadows) and the fact that I was thirteen and he was twelve.

[QUOTE=Dude Meister;26590892]Oh god, I didn't know you ever made stuff that bad ever :v:[/QUOTE] I think that was one of my first photoshop paintjobs... before that, I would draw on paper (which turned out much better), scan it onto the computer, bring it into MS Paint, then do whatever black/white magic I did to turn it solid white/black, then manually erased or drew in pixels as need be, then painted using the line tool and paint bucket. Was proud, haha. Here's a little something; '07 self portrait [img]http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs20/f/2007/280/0/6/first_dev_ID_by_daijitsu.jpg[/img] '09 self portrait (first thing I had painted in a year) [img]http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs45/f/2009/070/f/4/the_New_Dai_by_daijitsu.jpg[/img] '10, took a year after the last painting to paint again, and I got super drunk and woke up to this on my screen yay [img]http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/110/5/e/I__m_not_dead__y__know_by_daijitsu.jpg[/img] I have no idea how I'm improving with random painting but I am I guess. I gotta do it more often but I've been WAY overstressed with work and such to really sit down and feel inspired. Maybe I should get hammered again

Toasted from another thread My first serious attempt at sculptris I am...er...not that good [IMG]http://imgur.com/O4iu7.png[/IMG] [editline]9th December 2010[/editline] (it's an asian woman)

[img]http://i56.tinypic.com/rrjqkz.jpg[/img] Made this back when I was 11 or 12. It's bad, but still a shame I never finished it.

Oh my goodness.

These aren't that old, but it's when I really started getting into drawing. I started drawing abstract stuff.

I drew a frito in flash and didn't realize what it looked like until I started sending it to friends to show off my artistic talent: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/sasuke1912/fritolay.jpg[/IMG] Edit: dat shading

2001, a JPG odyssey loved me some SFX64 [img_thumb]http://ploader.net/files/8108c18ba19cbe027cda72331f857cce.jpg[/img_thumb] and now I do 3D for a livin' holycrap I did this in two days then spent the rest of two weeks tweaking shit because clients are bitches [img_thumb]http://ploader.net/files/692eb4be575b5ebc95f41d1dfcea1573.jpg[/img_thumb]

my first tablet painting: [img]http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs19/i/2007/268/2/4/Luke_and_Tear_by_fadingz.jpg[/img] Mainly practicing hair, from what I remember. haha, and this one [img]http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs21/i/2007/294/f/e/My_Adventure_by_fadingz.jpg[/img] don't really know what I was doing. Maybe we should have a remake your old work thread. (I only did anime style in the beginning because it is really easy lol)

Haha, this is a great thread! I planned to make a similar thread, but thought it wouldn't be any good. I'll try dig some crap up tomorrow.

I don't have most of my terrible early forays into art, but some have survived. All of these are thumbnails. From early 2009... oh my god. [img_thumb]http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs319.snc4/41277_438223617296_702302296_5120424_6981214_n.jpg[/img_thumb] From late 2009 or early 2010. DERP EYES. [IMG_thumb]http://i56.tinypic.com/2mq5h0y.jpg[/IMG_thumb] Not sure about the date on this one, but I know I was 13 and really into surrealism, so it must have been 2007 or 2008. [IMG_thumb]http://i54.tinypic.com/244teab.jpg[/IMG_thumb] From the same time period. THE NOSE. The NOSE is so SMALL. [IMG_thumb]http://i52.tinypic.com/315yk37.jpg[/IMG_thumb] This one is from late 2006 or early 2007. I'm not sure but.... oh my god.... this is really embarrassing. [IMG_thumb]http://i52.tinypic.com/wtx1zo.jpg[/IMG_thumb] This was done not long before the previous one. This was the first serious drawing I ever did. Supposed to be Kiera Knightley... [IMG_thumb]http://i52.tinypic.com/2u44uwo.jpg[/IMG_thumb] And this was the first thing I ever did in Photoshop, and one of the last. 1.5-2 years ago. The worst part: it wasn't supposed to be anime-style. [img_thumb]http://th01.deviantart.net/fs47/PRE/f/2009/203/1/0/playing_with_photoshop_by_prokaryotes.png[/img_thumb]

This is recent, but I think it belongs here. [media]http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/4907/73637448966048118751428.jpg[/media] Look at that beautiful handwriting!

[img]http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/328/d/f/welcome_to_the_nether_by_nopartyhats-d33jv1y.png[/img] Posted this in other threads before, and It's pretty recent, but I thought it looked ok in its own special way. Something about the sloppiness just fits.

Hmmm noticing a lot of "old vs new" artwork, or improvement over time. I think the next iteration of this thread should have a different title. I'm gonna edit the OP to encourage the improvement over time type posts, if that's ok.

'tis fine. Want the title changed up as well?
