dude, how could this not make it to the Showcase?? haven't seen one of these styles in a very, very long time! you did an excellent job, I knew instantly that it was Van Gogh. I like your take on this too because you didn't try to make it look exactly like it, and there's a blur in parts of it that makes it look softer compared to the orig. that has all the intricate details, which seem quite intense and sharp. But you still did great.

Thank you! Such a comment means a lot to me :)

Very nice Roytje! I too have this print in living room. Thought about recreating it, but man, so tedious.

Dead much?

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man

Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.
Take your time... Don't live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and you'll find love,
And don't forget son,
There is someone up above.

And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Won't you do this for me son,
If you can?

Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

Great Drawing! So this song was sung by Lynyrd eh? Awesome! The Deftones have a version of this song and I used it to make a home video of my dad playing around with nephew when he was about 5yrs old. My dad passed away from Lung Cancer, so I thought this was the perfect song for it. I made my family cry because when they watched it, they could not believe how sad the song was in correlation with the video.

Why did you start drawing?

xiau (Sep 30, 2006)

Is this the right board? So, what made you start drawing, and what made you keep at it? (there's probably already been a thread on this...) Well, let's see...as for me, I originally started somewhere around first grade. What did I draw? Animals. Why? I got some book called "Draw Rainforest Animals" or something, and used that. I didn't draw much back then though. Then, a couple of years later, I became re-obsessed with Sailormoon (I had watched it when I was much much younger, waaay before...

Mori is for Hakkai. Kyoya is for Maiko. The twins are for my little sister. Tamaki is for one of my RL friends. Honey is for me (Ilovehim). Haruhi is for Hagaren, since she called her first.
So so, as for the rest of you, which host is your favorite?

Sorry if Kyoya isn't very visible :< Blame it on Tamaki's big head.

EDIT:: Pretend Tamaki's eyes are purple. Thank you.

I think hydrogen sulfate? So like sulfiric acid, or some such.

edit---> Also, I would like some water, too.

Wraith (May 15, 2007)

I drink cokes, beer, and other bad for you drinks at night... Coffee in morning to wake up...Then I wash away all that junk during day with 1 or 2 - 1.5 L bottles of water.

Bloody Elizabeth or Bloody Relations

The_Chosen (Aug 23, 2006)

Countess Elizabeth Bathory a distant relation of mine from Transylvania as I understand it a distant cousin of hers or something like that was a close personal friend of Vlad Tepes (the real Dracula) also from what I can tell Tepes young wife was related to her cousin Vlad, being of beter social station than Elizabeth's cousin, took the girl in after her parents died and maried her when she was 19 or something. Elizabeth could be said to be something of a vampire herself she beleived that bathing in the blood of young women would ensure her youth for eternity there are even rumors of her drinking blood. she was eventually charged with murder and said to be insane they walled her up and she died alone ...

My family history is allover the place nobility usualy maried into nobility from other places to improve relations so chances are that if you are related to even one you are most likely related to all the rest of them. I did some research and found I have some pretty scary relations and my mom thought this was a picture of me O.o . I used a bad faded out black and white picture reference of an old painting and did the best I could with what I had the face is hers but the rest is mostly out of my head

Yeah! They're related! Ain't it WEIRD and FREAKY!!!!!!!!!! MUWAHAHAHAH.....Nice by the way! ^_^

Wraith (edited Apr 23, 2012)

I find the stories of Vlad The Impaler, and Elizabet Bathory Fascinating, and at the same time, frightening. Sometimes when I am walking around on a dark night, Just the word Vlad, sends shivers.

Wow you are related to Elizabeth Bathory? Based on her beauty, that is Awesome! Also, nice drawings. You should draw more often. Sorry I have not commented on your latest drawings, but anime is getting old for me. I want to draw american cartoons.

Edit* I have a Vlad the Impaler drawing in the works..... Never got back at it.

The_Chosen (Apr 23, 2012)

Thanks Wraith Actually I'm glad to get any comments lately it seems no one is interested in giving them. what I hate is when someone spent like 30 min on a pic & one that took 4+ hours & the 30 min gets like 10 comments & the other one that actually took time & effort no one even comments on. Kind of why I stopped coming here for a while it was aggravating. Even a nice color or a well done or something would be better than no comments at all especially when it is obvious at least SOME effort was given. >_> but that's just me.

Wraith (edited Apr 24, 2012)

Yeah I agree that having no comments kind of sucks... But I do think that artists should just focus on what they love to do, and forget everyone else. I love to draw, just not right now. ( besides I think my pen broke a little because the tip is too loose ) And I try to comment as much as possible. But If I do not comment, it's because maybe I do not like it, or I forgot to comment. Either way, it does not necessarily mean the drawing is bad. I don't like Zep's drawings, but here he is worshiped. Of course he is a better artist than me, but I just don't like his style no matter how hard I try to. Look at Axil62. He draws for 10 min, and I think most of his drawings are kick-ass. But I really like his styles.

Merlot the Musketeer

Jimbob (Jul 9, 2006)

I've had a reburst of motivation to learn how to draw a bit better using the ol' painting tools. I did a musketeer a while ago, but it was rubbish. I've kinda used Derek Yu's latest painting walkthrough to help me work out stuff about composition and building up a picture using brushes rather than random pixel work. Hope it's worthy of the Intermediate board. :P
