Thread for random art

Topic

Having nothing better to do, I thought I should draw some stuff, probably something fantasy-related. This is the first result so far:

So if you have anything you want to show, go ahead and post it here.

For some reason you can’t “like” the first post of a forum thread, so I’ll just say: I like that

Nice work Tobias.

All I’ll say is

Very nice, great stuff.

I randomly sketched up a new character today and now I feel like I want to know more about them.

I always feel like I bugger my drawings up by colouring them, but I had a go with this one.

I like the colored version.

My wife has been asking me to paint an old-fashioned ‘Florida Oranges’ poster for a while, so I gave it a go today.

My feeling afterwards was the same as after every painting I’ve attempted: envy of people who can actually paint.

(I mean who’d use a paintbrush as a precision instrument? It’s like trying to carve a steak with a spoon.)

Who says you have to use solely a paintbrush?

You can use a knife!

That uniform leads me to believe this man performs in a Ska band.

Knocked up a cover based on that character sketch from the other day.

Many years ago I made a role-playing game called The Supercrew. It’s a superhero game presented in 28 comic book pages. The last months, I have started making some new stuff for the game in swedish. This is a system for experience, in one page, that I just translated:

That’s not only a nice way to present the rules, it’s actually also a really clever rule.

I bought a brush pen, since I wanted to try it out. I used to hate painting with a brush — it didn’t do exactly what I wanted. (Probably because I had crap brushs, since this was when I was a small child.) This is the first attempt at inking something with the brush pen.

In December, I decided I need to get better at drawing faces. Specifically to make them look like real people. I did some research, hoping that some youtube video would reveal som secret making it easy. It turns out the secret is practice, which I hate.

But I did it anyway. These are some of the results:

I like the Alan Moore one!

Had a fun art session with the kids this afternoon. Here’s what I ended up doing for my piece.

Hello:

I was told in the Picture Thread that some comic artwork would
be better off (appropriate) in this section of the board.

I have a few pics by Del’Otto, Stanley Lau, and a few others.

I won’t overwhelm, just the good ones with all the detail for
all here to examine.

So, is this the thread or not?

Al…

My intent was for people to post art they had done themselves, but I’m not the king of the forum.

Why not just create a thread for great comics art in the Comics sub-forum? It might get more traction there as the Creative forum is pretty quiet.

Ok then

The comics sub-forum it is…

I started to play around with GIMP and made a mockup of a print ad:

This was inspired by an episode of one of my favorite sitcoms from the 90s, Living Single.

Trying my hand at making logos with Inkscape (a free alternative to Illustrator). These are two versions of the logo for a certain project I’ve been developing on and off:

Schrödinger’s catwoman and the Shoal are great concepts.

Todd

With the Shoal I got so carried away that I made a one page comic to introduce him. It’s still in swedish, but the henchman first says that Fat Boris sleeps with the fishes, and then keep using fish metaphors, to bad results.

I redid the first sketch some and did three more.

I’m trying to decide on one of these for the cover.
