So this was going to be Hugo Weaving (I picked him to draw because the photo had good lighting, not because I'm some LOTR junkie) but because I was sleepy and stupid, I drew him from a strange angle. I noticed the face I was drawing was looking strange so I picked up the Hugo photo and put it next to my drawing so I could compare it, well, I discovered that I had totally distorted Hugo's proportions. As well, it looks like Dennis Quaid. Rather than ditch the effort I figured I'd embrace the mess up and make it look like some Weaving/Quiad love child. I wanted to draw much more detail but because Dennis Quid attacked my drawing, I got pissed and stopped. Hopefully next time I'll remember to look at my reference photo at the correct angle.

At first Glance, I thought it was Randy Quaid....LOL!

Nah this looks just like the guy that played Agent Smith. Great stuff. Sorry for late comment.

This is amazing, how could you sit at a computer for 6 hrs+ and draw this? I am utterly amazed.

it looks great, wonderful colors and lighting; as to those of you who draw and paint from photos a lot; try real people, and real things,scenes, more often. Photos are great, but they have limitations.You can only draw the picture exactly how iit's shown in the photograph. Real people and objects,& scenery are 3 dimensional, and they are harder to draw, but there is nothing like 3-dimensional REALITY to make you excercise your sight-and-drafting muscles. With 3-dimensional reality, you have to decide how you see the person or object; the lighting,color,sizes, ect.Even the style. This is done for you, often in a photo; not in the real, 3-D object. Before photography, artists had to practice SEEING THE OBJECT right from the start.What are the angles & shapes? What is the composition?How much color, dark, light, or shadow? Proportion? Don't think you can let a photograph decide all that for you, every time. With drawing & painting from reality, you make the choices and judgements, but its well worth the work.

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Dec 15, 2004)

Oh yeah Dagan? You wanna go a couple of rounds with me? I say it's the bottom.

grayrider (Dec 15, 2004)

Perhaps he means he is viewing while on a top... hence a view from the top...

davincipoppalag (Dec 15, 2004)

In space, there IS no top or bottom.. (It's why the women are such fun to look at there)

Beauty and the Beast

The introduction to his heartache began as a child
So it's no wonder that he grew up to be so wild
So he protected his feelings in walls he imagined
but castles crumbled, exposing the frightened child

Fire in the Sky
Can't you see that all my castles are burning?
Fire in the Sky
Won't you help me now my castles are burning?

In solitude he couldn't deal with his own existence
The burning questions in the castles that still remain
God only knows how he searched in vain for the answers
Now castles crumble, exposing his naked flames

That's funny, that King Kong comment was left almost a year ago.

sincity (Oct 16, 2005)

just browsing old work. But I figured if she liked kong she would be interested in the remake as I am.

The invasion of the Cyclops came swift, We didn't have time to figure out if this was just a opportunist invasion in light of our struggles with the Kadath, or if they were summoned or employed by the enemy. Either way, we needed to find a way to fight them on their own terms, and average men & woman were not equipped for this. I summoned the high council and implored them to do whatever they could to create a weapon in which to fight the cyclops with. They Agreed. Using prisoners ,and some volunteers , they used unknown technologies and I believe witchcraft, to create these,...MANGLERS. Abominations! I thought it insane, but we needed to stop the cyclops from spreading. We stationed small groups of these, MANGLERS in all the city states, large and small. May the powers that be have mercy on these poor creatures,..and who ever get in their path.
