Wanted to play with using a different tool than usual. This is all done with the pen tool on one setting (except for a plain fill BG and some airbrush to shade the stool). Trying for a pencil sketch look.

axil, i specifically said, that i was not making a comment toward you, your marriage, or your cartoon. in fact, i mentioned abuse only in the instance that the advance was unwelcome. to accuse me of insulting her culture seems harsh, but i'll take it. wasn't intended as such. zack, i agree. my comment was a general reaction to the statement, despite the fact i knew it wasn't intended in that way.

i apologize for any harm done by my only semi-related thought.

Oh ok, well that's fine then. :)

"I like how the right side looks like she has a man back with a big dent in it! Like her man back side was in a big bar fight one night because this one guy took all the pretzels and one thing lead to another and ole' half man back thought she should get up and do something about it but then the other guy had a friend who usually doesn't come to that bar, no he usually goes to the 4 U lounge, but he went there this time and when ole' half man back stood up he knew he had to have his buddy's back... his buddy was a man so his whole back was a man back, not like this lady's back, but anyway, so he saw ole' half man back get up to do something about something an he slammed her upper right shoulder area with an extra 4 inch lead pipe he happened to be carrying around, not his good one that he had in his coat pocket for something else, but his extra one. So that's what I like about this picture when I look at it."

I'd just like to ask Zack one last question here. Is this what you call, 'formal criticism'? Of course, you could be referring to criticism given to terracotta by people besides Axil. But I'm pretty sure terracotta's posts were in response to Axil. Although, I haven't had 50 yrs of experience myself, I've never heard of giving criticism in 'tell-a-funny-story' form in any of my classes. And I can assure you, if that were the case, I wouldn't waste my money or time on such an unprofessional school.

Zack (Mar 24, 2006)

No. What I was agreeing with Axil about was the issue of sexual abuse re: his cartoon. His critique was informal and absurd. I do not consider the issue of the picture being finished relevant to an analysis of the motivation behind any critique, formal or informal, since critiques on finished pictures are just as legitimate as critiques on works-in-progress.

The absurdity of Axil's comment speaks for itself, and to imply that he was being meanspirited for pointing out flaws in a finished picture demonstrates to me a lack of understanding of the nature of artistic critique in a learning environment. That is to say, Axil may have been meanspirited in his comment (I can't tell), but that has nothing to do with the fact that he was criticizing a finished picture.

Figured I wanted to draw something to do with beatboxing. Been doing it around 2 years now and getting reasonably good at it. In the next few years hopefully i'll be able to do some gigs locally. :)

Ahhh, D&D... It can really get the creative juices flowing, enough to pull a person out of artist's block.

This is a great drawing, but she seems to be missing something... Where's her musical instrument? Bards always carry around a lute, or something, right? :)

Childlike_Vampire (Nov 14, 2005)

I didn't understand whatever Noremac was talking about, but I'll keep it in mind regardless, lol. To answer DBA, she's probably got some wine kiped from a local inns stores. As for her instrument, the way I understood it was that you could sing or recite poetry to use songs, not just instruments. I'm having her be a whistler. :D

Noremac (Nov 14, 2005)

i made a gnome bard who took breakdancing as his secondary preform skill :D and beatboxing as his actual bard conduit. :3 ah the possabilities

Was doodling around and found some interesting shapes for a character. Looks kind of like something from Dark Crystal.

You're another one who has great imagination and talent. When it stops drawing, hit the screen refresh button. When it does a box will ask if you want to restore your last image..hit yes and everything comes back working.

I am VERY impressed! Excellent work! But just what is it?

DoOp (Mar 24, 2006)

Childlike_Vampire (Mar 24, 2006)

Oh wow! This is cool as hell, I like that it's somehwat sketchy, and the designs on the helmet and such are great! Kind of looks like some sort of turtle-kin. Great drawing.

Thank you. I wasn't going for morbid or disturbing on this, but I can see why one might see it that way. I don't believe the song is a tale of murder.

It's amazing how quickly you captured all the right details. I dream of developing such skills.
