OH OH such controversy! Gosh, people with different opinions, stirring up in the machine! Oh and get your head out of your 'bum' Peter, you know you're damn amazing at what you do, the point is, not everyone has to be LIKE what YOU do to be considered 'good'.

People think i'm trying to be negative when i make comments, when i'm just offering my opinion to try and help people improve, i'm not saying my opinion is right it's just an opinion like everybody elses.

TumblingUpwards (Feb 9, 2010)
I like when someone can create a drawing that is more relaxed and paintery styled, photo realism is stiff and not always considered art but thievery. I wish I could draw or paint like this, maybe in time or as I practice, we'll see. This is really beautiful, keep up with 'your' style!
vlad.the.hamster (Feb 9, 2010)
I love the more painterly styles, too, just that photorealism is easier. :pBut I'm loving all your stuff so far. They're awesome.
mursku (edited Feb 9, 2010)
i wouldn't say photo realism is easier, its just that to paint in a photo realistic style you need to use photo reference more often. When drawing from a photo reference, the guy who paints in a simplified style needs to think how the forms look in real life. On the other hand the guy who paints photo realistic stuff, doesn't need to understand how things look in real life. He just needs to be able to copy what he sees. But a skilled artist that has a bit more simplified style will be able to be much faster than the photo realistic artist.Also the thing about photo realistic artists doing stiff art, isn't exactly true. It's just that i think the artist that has a better understanding of how the forms he is painting would look like in 3D, will be able to push his characters in a more dynamic poses, than the artist who only knows how things look from a limited number of angles.
vlad.the.hamster (Feb 9, 2010)
Well, it's just that I know more people that can copy a photo exactly and can't draw/paint anything without one, but I get what you're saying. |

ref from http://www.flickr.com/photos/storm-crypt/3310768814/hmm.. perspective turned up a bit screwy :(
Flubbles (Feb 9, 2010)
I think the rest of it is beautiful, i was just saying that the hut could look a little better.

I'm just saying that I'm very happy you joined here. :)
backmagicwoman (Feb 9, 2010)
Yes..always happy to have new members...very nice picture indeed..:)
mursku (edited Feb 9, 2010)
thanks guys for the comments :DSuntan - heh, its just luck that i joined here :D i was fed up with OekakiCentral and wanted to try some other oekaki site. i found this other oekaki site where i sent my registration application, but while waiting for my confirmation email, i found this site and i didn't need to wait for any administrator to begin drawing oekakis :D and also this site looks to be more active than the other one, so, yay! Bobstained - ah you meant that. heh, the hut does look does look a bit rubbish, doesn't it, but then to my eye so does the horizon line too. I meant to just do a quick 20-30 minute landscape study, and then i ended so frustrated with getting the sea to look even halfway decent.. and as for the hut, thats my second try to draw the hut and it still looks like that... for my excuse i can say that i didn't understand the form of the hut from looking at the reference picture... it just looked to me like a haphazard bunch of sticks, so thats how it pretty much ended... and besides guys, i made this in the beginner section, im sure this will be lost quickly enough in the flood of other posts that are made in this section. When i post in the intermediate or advanced boards i will take more time to draw. everybody else, sorry for not replying, but im really slow at writing stuff and i really need to go back to drawing (or should i say painting?) this nude in the advanced board. It will be awesome! :D |

dramatic. :) I agree with flubbles in that it definitely would have more impact on a bigger canvas, but it's still wonderful work.
firecracker (Feb 8, 2010)
very nice.....those clouds are awesome! :)
mursku (Feb 8, 2010)
thanks guys. i was just aiming to do quick 20-30 min landscape studies, so if i had had managed to draw this in under 30 minutes it wouldn't have been allowed on the other boards

great job on the stormy moody clouds |

thanks so much everyone! :) and mursku, after you pointed it out, I can see how that sudden contrast from blurred to sharp doesn't look right .. I'll have to deviate from the reference a bit and try to fix that.. thanks for the tips .. much appreciated :) now let's hope I can pull it off without guidance from the ref and make it look better. flubbles, you're just hardcore :P but I'm glad to know you were only trying to "encourage me" next time maybe give me some tips where I went wrong, like mursku did :) hope this looks a little better.. I played around with the background too much and messed that up worse than it was :|

awesome! ... it looks just great!

just wanted to draw something better for my avatar... My plan was to draw some beastman (from warhammer tabletop game) but even thought i had reference they all turned out horrible. none of the drawings were menacing enough! damn :( so i tried to draw an orc instead.. but they too turned out crappy. double damn! :P so i ended up drawing something simple in the end. ~30 min. edit: aaah! it doesn't look as good in the small scale as i imagined it would look. The hair strands that fall in front of the face make the face look a bit funky when its reduced to the size of 48x48 or 24x24 pixels :( its still a bit better than the last one, but i gotta make a new avatar someday soon :S
mursku (Feb 8, 2010)
thanks guys. :DRat - you can actually see the blood in the small picture?! you must have a bigger screen than me or a smaller resolution cause when its reduced to 48x48 pixels, i can only barely see some red on his chin :( firecracker - um no, hes no vampire, but if hes anything hes a male version of this character from this epic fantasy comic thats been plaguing my mind now for years to draw, but i've been too daunted (or lazy) to start a webcomic that looks like it would take a few hundred pages to finish.. and i would first have to learn how to draw environments. and clothes, im horrible at drawing clothes. the rest im sure i could fake.. but someday, i will do it!
davincipoppalag (Feb 8, 2010)
Creepy eyes.. nice
firecracker (Feb 8, 2010)
Well I hope you do that epic comic fantasy someday.......he would make a great character in a comic.....he's really cool looking......:)
TheCrusader (Aug 7, 2010)
Perhaps if his eyes were more lavender, he could be Drizzt from the R.A. Salvatore bookd. |

Nothing better than a pistol packin' mama! Nice draw! ;o)
backmagicwoman (Feb 6, 2010)
Looks like a cool comic character.
firecracker (Feb 7, 2010)
I agree.....she would make a cool comic book character.....:)

Excellent character drawing, she's a beauty with more than a little heat. |

Your use of textures is quite amazing! Beautifully done!
Miss_DJ (Feb 14, 2010)
thank you, madscientist. Any textures you see are created...it was magic! ;o) ♥
mursku (Feb 15, 2010)
cool textures... now only if you didn't do abstract art, i would give you thumbs up.. i hate abstract art, like, grrrr! :P
Miss_DJ (Feb 15, 2010)

Futon frolic.I tried refining the hatch shading a bit. Probably won't do much more with this. It was an exercise in trying to remember how to draw after not doing anything for a long time. I'm sure I shouldn't try a complicated pose without a ref--lotsa stuff off. Feels weird when you can't even manage to get your tablet angled correctly to draw diagonal lines. My drawing hand is retarded. At least I'm hoping it's my hand and not my brain. :-O
madscientist (Mar 1, 2010)
Beautifully done and seductive pose!

Here i go... What i would like to see is some more depth separating the objects. Especially the upper part of the trees from the background. Now they look pretty flat, but if you maybe darkened the street at the upper area of the image the trees would pop out a bit more. Or you could use a sharper brush to paint the leafs around the upper edges of the trees. Or you could instead add some more details at the street at the upper part of the image.
Also i think the street would look a bit more like it was raining if you added some small bright dots here and there on the street, but don't over do it, just a few bright spots.
