I would have posted earlier, but Clox stole my comment. To me the lines across his face and curious texture to the right make it seem like he's unraveling. Nice work!

Used a reference picture, but I changed some of the details. I am finaly glad to be finished with this one, it did take me a while but not as long as the timer says. Sometimes you don't realize how much detail there is in a picture.

Happy Fourth of July

I wanted to paint some fireworks, so I did this from a pretty photograph I found

Most every year I get together with my brothers and we set a good example for all of our children by shooting roman candles at each other, wiring bottle rockets together and holding stuff in our hands until it almost (just almost) explodes, lighting the whole package of black cats and throwing it at the neighbor's annoying dog. It's still not as much fun as when I was little and my uncle would help us build homemade stuff out of gunpowder, foil, matches and stuff. Can't do that sort of thing anymore... it's dangerous.

wohoo! Excellent. Your description reminds me of what I still do, too! :D FUN FUN FUN! I looooove the colors in the water! Just gorgeous!

davincipoppalag (Jul 2, 2004)

Gorgeous work on the reflected colors in the water! The shellbursts are particularly good also!

laurael (Jul 2, 2004)

This is just spectacular looking dba...wow. What G said about the colors reflected on the water...yeah.
The Queen Mary, huh? I was so close to this ocean liner one time, I reached out and 'touched' it.... :] Awesome ship, awesome artistry, dba.

Aubrey (Jul 2, 2004)

This is much better than animation cell quality. The shading in animation ('cell shading') is usually limited to two or three distinct shades per color. I think the kind of shading here is called 'gradient,' and to produce an animation where every frame was shaded to this kind of gradient quality would be an utterly insane undertaking. The shading in Disney movies is better than most, but still not this quality.

As for Disney itself, I have no doubt ED could get a job there. But unless you're 'the best of the best', you'll end up doing little more than drawing repetitive frames of someone else's characters to smooth out the work of the lead animators, and might not even get your name in the credits. Additionally, while working for Disney, any artwork you produce, even at home with your own utensils, belongs to Disney. I would hate for ED to work where her art would go unappreciated.

EverDream (Jul 2, 2004)

Thank you for your support Zack. I've considered working for the Disney companies long ago, but the idea of sitting constantly and repeating drawings of something someone else came up with just didn't appeal to me. You don't even get to colour them you know? Any wayz I'm shooting for one of three things, either becoming a digital illustrator, a game character designer, or tatoo artist. :D

Aubrey (Jul 2, 2004)

I like the lighting and you did the shadows of it really well! The colors are great too :-D Another great picture by Everdream.

So purdy DB :) the rays bring the sunlight so much closer and makes for such a dramatic yet purdiful picture.

laurael (Jun 29, 2004)

Love how you did this one...it 'is' very dramatic. Another beautiful work of dba art. :]

Zack (Jun 30, 2004)

Simply lovely. That's an explosion up ahead, right? I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

Anna (Jun 30, 2004)

:) ahhh This is so lovely to look at. The colors are beautiful. You captured the grandness of it all perfectly.

Infinate

EverDream (Jun 25, 2004)

The Infinate feeling of complete beauty, flawless in every way and perfect beyond all words imaginable. *ramble-ramble-ramble* I just wanted to try something different...more scenery this time instead of character depictions. :D

Fantastic drawing! I liked the balloon guy, the crazy guy with the lightning but I loved the floating meatball with the so many eyes! It could move so fast! Hehe, it was so cute... <:)
I am sure the Mortal Kombat video game was inspired by that movie, many of the video game characters resemble some of the movie.
Also, old people are sexy! >:D

I would like to see more movies like BTILC now, the movie has a great story and the action is rarely cheesy like you see in the newer movies. Mortal Kombat could have been a cooler movie if it was more serious, if it had a better story development and less of a "good guys destroy the bad guys" set up. BTILC was solid, unique characters and some of the little details about Chinese culture make it a little bit more believable than just straight "monsters fighting the hero" fiction. Most fiction/fantasy films that entail a lot of fighting and action I watch once and never want to watch them again but I've seen BTILC about 12-15 now.

MEEP! -runs and hides- Good job though.

Wonder what he's been given a second chance at... All those pictures on the wall are neat Zep :) I like the big one of all the people dancing too.

mx (Jun 25, 2004)

He does look lonely and hopeless...
I like the fact that uve used b&w for the pics in the backround, making it stand back from the colour of his face.
Thank the Lord there is hope

go well (ps. and nice style)
