I don't know how many ppl know this or already do it, but a friend shared it with me so I thought I'd share it with yall. I have a Wacom and don't know if it works with other types of tablets, but if you put about 3 pcs of typing paper over your tablet, it gets rid of that slippery feel when you draw, and it becomes more like using real tools, and you have more control. It doesn't affect the pressure sensitivity or anything. It takes a few minutes to get used to it, but I like it better that way...

drawn in 31 min

well that was fun. i just realized i have no good ideas for a background.

davincipoppalag (Feb 22, 2004)

Well I like what you put there.. it gives it a sort of samoan feel... the BG looks like the kind of patterns they have in the south Pacific islands on tapa cloth etc.. I think it worked nicely

foxman8245 (Feb 28, 2004)

hey.. like the bg here!!!

fleeting_memory (Mar 2, 2004)

Very realistic but somehow kinda freaky-cause its like a wild boar and its on my screen *runs AHHHHHHHHHHH!*

lol, I have that a LOT.In fact, almost all my pictures are like that^^;.That's also why I'm so slow at drawing because I gotta go back and correct it><.No problem about the comments though.I really like to see people improve and I'm just trying to help you^^.Btw, I really like all your drawings.Keep it up XD.

davincipoppalag (Feb 17, 2004)

Boy have I got alot to learn.. I looked at this and said .Wow..then I read the critique and I had to say Wow to that too..I got alot out of what Gigandas said...you really have to look at your own stuff very carefully as if you are completely detached from it ..my work here sucks so far..but I am still gettting alot out of seeing the great pics that many here do, and the other insights I get from the critiques.. i LOVE this site!

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Feb 19, 2004)

EYE just like it. That's all I've got to say. :)

Looks like that one stone.....forgot what it was called but it looks like what this heart is made of^^;;.Anyways, I really like the BG.It sorta reminds me of the BG in battle during EarthBound^^;(why....?).

kaT (Feb 12, 2004)

I love that, black on cyan, and more black! perhaps I've become too cynical.

Noremac (Feb 12, 2004)

"Cindy" Self-Portrait

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Feb 20, 2004)

If this doesn't kill the theme board, nothing will. I have this pic scanned to my files, but don't know how to make a link to here... There is a black and white version of this picture @ www.dba.schauk.com . Have to scroll through the first two pics- it's the third.

Oh...don't say that! For an attempt at portraitry...(especially if you're not used to such work) this is really good! You got the proportions of your face down right, it just looks so soft and pastel like. I like it DBA and with a little more practice (that is if you're up to it) You can get really good at faces! Greak job!!! XD

sal (Feb 27, 2004)

wired lookin scenery on those other pics.... is that deer thing dead?

Cobra (Feb 27, 2004)

Wow! DBA what a beautifully talented artist you are, your work is always a joy

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Feb 28, 2004)

No, sal, I asked the deer really nicely to lie down and be still for the picture. Yeah, they usually get dead when I put an arrow through their heart. Thanks for the nice comments, ya'll.

staci (Feb 22, 2004)

the likeness is there.

You done good, yep. I like these colors, and the half-tone effect.

-simulacra- (Feb 23, 2004)

:P Looking from our pov, the right side of the face has a good shape to it, but the left side, that thick gray line makes the face look far too rounded. And you look so proud...muah. Wtf are halftones >.<

thug (Feb 26, 2004)

I can't believe I missed and just now found this. gotta say WOW! I think this is by far your most creative and overall best piece. beautiful, wonderful, more explatives

Cobra (Feb 27, 2004)

Now I love this, it's bold with energy and it's because it's what you THINK ,that makes this good art....excellent!

Aww... I love Pepsi-cola!! Oh, and... this image... I'm with you and and Zappo, I looked at that image that Zappo put down. This is scary, but... it's cool, if you ask me, I think that it has a unique style.

davincipoppalag (Feb 26, 2004)

interesting Icats.. lol It looks a bit like Nosferatu.. but.. more of some characters in a very old and strange movie called Freaks.. dont know if anyone has seen that one..Thank you for not naming him Mountain Dew

marcello (Feb 26, 2004)

come on, pepsi sucks.

Extreme Alphabet / letter "A"

foxman8245 (Feb 22, 2004)

Letter "A" of the exreme alphabet. 5 year old daughter helped pick the colors. We are doing the alphabet which gives her a fun way to learn her letters and introduce her to computer graphics :-)

are we in for a treat or what

foxman8245 (Feb 22, 2004)

Well, I wouldnt expect adults to get a big thrill out of letters, but for those who have little ones starting to learn the alphabet...... this works !!!!!

dixielandcutie (Feb 22, 2004)

hehe, sweet. awesome shading

lilypad (Feb 24, 2004)

i think that some of the kids on the blessed haven would like them, too. the adults should. i mean, the shadings nice, the colourings nice, the bg's nice. why do the adults hafta look at the subject? why not the things that make up the subject? it's not a regular 'A', it's a foxman-teaching-his-daughter-the-alphabet 'A', or as foxman likes to call it, an extreme 'A'.so, Icats, if ur not going to appreciate it and get foxman's hopes done or anything like that(such as hate the fact that foxman's getting his 5 YEAR OLD daughter into computers and teaching her the alphabet, just f*** off, okay? we don't need you.

staci (Feb 24, 2004)

ok fine..i am forced to comment on this one. i think that the idea is hilarious >.<..but ok..more detail...more definition..unless you want it to look like a finger painting that is.

dixielandcutie (Feb 24, 2004)

lol dino, i love the leaves, awesome coloring, and more detail is always good. but i love your style : )

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Feb 24, 2004)

This looks rather Monet-ish. I love the colors.
