One of my friends has been doing some very basic Photoshop stuff, putting pictures in pre-made frames and adding captions. Nothing wrong with that, but the other day, he said he was going to practice his skills a bit and try to make a career out of it. *sigh* It bugs me how people seem to think being a professional artist is so damn easy.

And what does an artist do when something ticks him off? Draws a snarky comic, of course!



I never thought I would be rich and famous because of my art, but adults always told me I would be when I was a kid. I was cynical about that even as a wee lad.

Yeah, I never actually thought I'd get rich from it.

@ Kristine: That's really cool. (I'm resisting the urge to make a joke about the Doctor searching for a new companion.) What do you mean by "printable" tardis? Was that a 2D cutout that you fold into shape?

I think he meant it was like papercraft. I've seen a few papercraft tardisi, though not scaled down that small.

I decided to experiment with embossing foil and made some African themed designs. I am trying to figure out what glue to use to glue it to the poster board that I just got. I plan on hanging these in my dining room/art room.







I'm hoping to get it all together eventually.

Those are cool. I like the ones with the lizardy-looking designs especially.

I made rinoz!

I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

Well I made these three drawings.







Some of the proportions seem to be off a bit.

Also Lexicon, that is a great rhino.

I thought the proportions looked okay (heads might be a little large for the bodies but not bad) but the arm/wrist/hand holding the glass needs some sort of shading - I tried to put my own hand in that position and couldn't...

I don't normally post in here, because I am by no shakes a great artist, and also I don't like being critiqued. But I just finished this piece of fanart, and allowed myself a tiny measure of pride for it. Please don't lambaste me too badly over it. >w>



This is Cteno, who is some unusual variation of pony that no one's quite sure about (not even herself). She has a tumblr, to which my art pales in comparison, but the character was too visually interesting not to try. And yes, it's only two hours work in MS Paint, but I am still kind of fond of my effort~

Well I recently got around to finally watching Neon Genesis Evangelion. Here are some drawings I did of Sachiel's(3rd angel) "mask". Since the mask has appeared on a couple of the angels(or a variation of it), and almost all in the remake, it's been considered the "emblem" of the angels. I made it in MS paint out of boredom, though I may incorperate it into something else later. I made three attempts at it and want to ask which one you guys think is best. Does anyone know how Sachiels name is actually pronounced?



Here's some reference picture's.









Post "mutation".







Also, can someone who knows how to edit GIFs help me by adding "What?" or "Wut?" to this GIF.
