Here a few of mine http://joesdrawingadventures.blogspot.com/
Mine are all digital drawings with my wacom tablet. What I do is grab a picture that instrests me and put it up on my smaller screen, then draw it in photoshop on the larger screen. Imagination wise, I'm stuck on cartoons :P
-
posted a bunch of my art before, been an artist my whole life....have way to much to post
so ill post an example of the different mediums

excellent stuff, great sketches, Unity is what I just started up about a week ago, was trying with CryEngine and the Blender Engine itself, but so far Unity is sweet in how it reads Blend files, in the short time I been messin with Unity I have my own Terrain I made in Blender, my own models and it sees them fine....have you seen FPS Control?
a few you may appreciate
all done in Blender, and the Viking stuff I have in Skyrim :t

Very Cool Zach :aok

Really want to try this 3d modeling. What would you guys suggest I start at?
well I tried a bunch of 3D modeling programs, "Blender" is free and does everything the big money programs do...but the GUI is not User friendly, I have read many many people talk down about Blender because of this, but once you learn the layout, you realize it is very easy to get around in.
there are an absurd amount of tutorials also, everything you need is already out there, and you wont have to pay for them.
so I suggest Blender :aok
-
Alright. Thanks a bunch ink :salute

Alright. Thanks a bunch ink :salute
no probs....been an avid Blender user for a few years now, the only thing I am not proficient at is the game Engine itself....so I can help with anything other then that :rofl
UV mapping seems daunting at first but a few things to know and tricks will make it SOOOOOOOO much easier...but that is far off :devil
-
Actually, I find Blender to be much easier to use than many other programs. You want to talk about User Unfriendly? Look at GMax. I did some modeling for Neverwinter Nights 2 that required using GMax at one stage (for some reason, the Blender exporter was never able to export helmet models) and it's a clunky pain in the @#$.

never even heard of Gmax, but then again I have been stuck on blender for as long as I have been into 3dmodeling....tried mudbox, Zbrush,3dsmax,(plus others that i forget the names)....I found Blender to be the most intuitive, and logically set up.
-
GMax is more or less to 3DSMax what Gimp is to Photoshop.

have you worked with the BGE?

No, my modeling history is primarily Rhino to AC3D to Blender, with a little bit of Milkshape and GMax for special situations (the latter two mainly importing stuff I already modeled in other apps) with Photopaint and Gimp for texture work.

Milkshape I used, but always go back to Blender :D

Nice to see some fellow Blenderheads out there. And great work by all who have posted. I have some models I could post but I would need a quick lesson on how to post pictures. Anyone give me a hand with that? Also my models are not textured. Just starting to get my head wrapped around the whole UV unwrapping thing. Then working on the images in Gimp and the textures in Blender. (sometimes makes my head spin)

get a photobucket account, upload the images to photobucket, then they will give you a link to post here easy peasey :aok
-
Yes. Manually trying to enter the code isn't going to work.
-
I'm incredibly artistic!
You should see what I could do with a huge govenment grant and some poop!
(Actually, I'm not. JG11's 1Canukk however has mad skillz! Hope he pops in here!)
-
OK... going to give this a shot. Here is a model of one aircraft I have been working on in Blender. I used the cycles render to get the photos and I have a lot of fireflies (white spots) in the photos. Also getting a lot of black dots like I sprinkled the model with a light coat of pepper. Ink or anyone else if you have any ideas on how to get rid of the spots for a better render in cycles I would much appreciate it.

Use a different file format. Try PNG instead.

I consider what I do art work. And I get paid handsomely for it as well from my clients. It's a hobby that's turned into a money-making 2nd job. :)

Again well done! :aok :salute

not sure if you are allowing the cycles render to fully finish, it takes a long.......long time, thats what those images look like to me..... that is why I don't use the cycles render (so don't know a whole lot about it, I know you need to use planes as lights and you don't use lights at all haha) I just use the blender render, if you want real professional looking products you will want to learn the "node" system, it is daunting and mind numbing but there are a lot of tutorials to get you going, understanding that will give you the best results rendering IMO....... the cycles render takes way to long, it could be my old Dinosaur system..... :headscratch:
Btw that is excellent work, cant wait to see it finished, I am far more adept at organic stuff, unless its something small like a sword or axe :D
-
Thank you gents for you input.
Saxman I tried rendering to a .png file same results.
Ink yes rendering in cycles takes a little longer that blender render. But not much on my computer (maybe better machine?). Funny you should mention the organic, inorganic art. I am just the opposite. Give me some blueprints or 3 plan profiles and I can model that in a heartbeat. Anything organic, human, animal, alien, etc... I am lost on. Although I did do one dragon that came out fairly well... where did I put that dragon. Anyway I am working on UV unwrapping that aircraft to paint it in Gimp and then texture it. Going to be awhile since it will be my first time UV unwrapping something I have done and not a tutorial. But decided to jump in and learn it. Also having to learn Gimp from scratch also. Will be a steep learning curve.
And thank you for the compliment on my work. Love the work you did especially the reptile.
And here is a small animation of the aircraft landing gear.

you don't "need" GIMP to texture it, Blender has a "texture Paint" mode...go into edit mode, add new image whatever size ya like, then go into texture paint mode and paint right on the model...use GIMP for fine tuning.
ya my system is a duel core 2.9 GHZ 4 gigs of ram.... :(
so when I get my models upwards of 1.2-1.4 million verts it crashes when I try to bake my norms or whatever, so I have been breaking down my pieces into separate meshes and going that route....

I want to say it looks like a Ki-44/84 (last photo looks like a 3bladed jug) or something that company built. I'm going off the cowling and wing guns. :headscratch:

Useda doodle on my math homework from 1st grade onward.
Didn't really 'get into' it until much later in life
..airbrushed vans, motorcycles, cars, t-shirts here n there ..was even art director for a comic book that I did most of the pencils for.

One fine day we had a Fox rep come thru ..he saw this and asked if I had done a screen capture from the movie :)
(http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q260/1grayeagle/GEart/dsapc.jpg) (http://s138.photobucket.com/user/1grayeagle/media/GEart/dsapc.jpg.html)
I showed him the animation on my machine, in mesh form ..this was just a single frame of it :)
Built using a few photo's from the movie.

Now and then someone would ask me if an image I had done was a photograph.

There are a lot of books that teach the techniques of how to paint well.
I got a book about how Boris Valejo does his paintings and it set me up with what I needed to know.
Much later I got a book that showed how Robert Taylor setup his aviation paintings .. and he uses the same techniques as Boris :)
Basically ..prep the canvas with a few coats of Gesso.
It fills the weave and leaves a matte white base to work from.. so your colors look great.
Then do a pencil sketch of what you want to paint ..
..you can project an image onto the canvas to sketch copy outlines
..and an accurate image will get you the correct perspective angles an the like.
Then it's a matter of makin the color look 'right' ..
..with Acrylic on posterboard it's a much faster process ..I did this in 4 hours, start to finish:

..while Stiletto's A-land Spit 9 took me 3 months.
(of course, it was 4' by 2.5' canvas and that is only one of the 4 shown takin off at sunrise :)
Thing is .. you don't have to draw many straight lines :)
With the right techniques you can just rock on.

I really need to get back into painting. I've also heard that mixing gasoline or something like that will make colors more vibrant.
And generally when I paint I have no idea what I really want to do, I just let music control the strokes. I might have to
cancel my sub now :bhead

For drawing dip pen and ink and painting watercolour if you can master those 2 the rest of the mediums seem tame by comparison, watercolour especially is very tricky.

water color is easy compared to oil....but all the mediums pale in comparison to working in skin. :aok

water color is easy compared to oil....but all the mediums pale in comparison to working in skin. :aok
I work in both, watercolour is by far the harder medium to paint well in, oil you can scrape off and start again or paint over, oils are also mostly opaque, watercolours are nearly all transparent and dry 1000 times quicker.
Its like dip ink pen vs pencil you can rub pencil out, ink you get one shot at it thats the same as watercolour.
I wonder how many people could reproduce something like this in watercolour?

I wouldn't fancy ink on skin in case I was in a lazy mood, from my understanding of it though you trace over an outline is that right ink? And Zach that is by Turner probably the best watercolour painter of all time.

ya thats all you gotta do is trace a line on a canvas....that stretches and is very pliable and is never the same consistency....is round....is moving constantly......answers the phone.... talks to much....cries because it hurts.....passes out from endorphins.....that has no chance to erase..... that has to be a perfect depth.... at the perfect angle.....so now you have a outline...how about coloring it in....is there a guide for shading....how do you do that........how do you get a perfect consistency in color when your tool is only so wide and a mm in depth difference will show in the end results...
now thats just for your regular wall flash...how about custom one of a kind freehand work......
ya real easy :rofl
just because you fiddle with some paint, don't make you an artist.....you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.
good day

I got so far as getting paper plate, orange peels, and I lost parieace with pig skin. Not to mention my gun broke :bhead can't afford a new one.
I have tons of ideas for tats

first off "guns" have bullets, a "Tattoo Machine" has needles that inserts ink into skin. :old:
yes I have been doing custom freehand tattooing for 25 years.

don't recall asking a question :headscratch:

Looks like a question to me, or that you are questioning what I said to which I should have further explained myself...
having an opinion is one thing....does not make it fact...you stated a false hood as fact, I corrected.
So what your saying here is that I am not allowed to voice my opinion on a subject? It is just that, the normal progression would be that we would then have an enjoyable time debating the pros and cons of different mediums because we both like art. Your above statement is a contradiction of itself because you place yourself as 'fact' while slating another for what you perceive as stating a fact.

usually a question is followed by one of these-----> ?
I made a statement....big difference.
I will say obviously some may find water color difficult, as is oil, or any medium.... so I guess we are both wrong....it depends on what that particular person finds difficult/easy....
fact is Tattooing, is by far the most difficult medium......along with everything else I said about it, you have to compensate for longevity because the skin sheds and sloughs off as time goes by, and what/how you do today, you have to consider what it will look like in 20 years.

Well you knew exactly what I meant :neener:

A statement is either universally accepted or based on hard fact, what you have mentioned regarding tattooing is neither, simply your opinion though valid enough through your experience. I still find it amusing that you haven't cottoned on to the fact that your are angry because you thought I was doing what you are now doing.
I was asking because a friend I used to know told me that tattoists use some form of tracing before the actual ink goes on and I wanted to know what that was.

Angry.....no :rofl
it is called a "stencil" it is the outline..... you transfer it to the skin and then try to follow the lines, it also can wipe off quite easy, like I said that is for your basic wall flash, 90% of the work I have done is freehand, no stencil, a quick pen drawing, then again I have done many tatts where there was no stencil..no lines, just grab the Machine and go to work.
and if my description of tattooing doesn't put into perspective the difficulty of doing good tattoos....nothing will.
you are working on living breathing canvases, that change over time.....
ya painting on the surface of a canvas that don't move.... is always constantly the same denseness, you don't have to actually paint INTO the canvas and worry about the surface sloughing off......
bah..... I typed way to much already :aok
Well you knew exactly what I meant :neener:
:rofl
I did, and nothing substitutes human skin.
best to work on yourself, the legs and whatnot....get the feeling then get 1 person to be a practice dummy.... :D

Sadly a lot of my artistic skill is crippled by my lack of memory. All of my art is made up on the fly, and usually changes multiple times before I'm finished. Luckily skinning is different since I have to recreate something using existing images. Anyway, here is one of the pics I did manage to finish.
(http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad258/DragonTamer1X/space2.jpg)
That was all rendered out using GIMPs plugins and filters with the exception of the lake and the mountains, both of which I'm not completely happy with. Never could get the mountains to look right so I just threw a shadow on them and said "Eh..."
This is the kind of art I prefer to do:

try to do a couple plasma clouds, desaturate and mess with the mode of the layers for the mountains...then reflect it on the water.

I'm guessing either electricity or some sort of line (gas or water/coolant)

You would be correct, tis a power supply. It's for an ongoing project that I never really intend on finishing. I use it as more of a way to get experience when I want to try something new in the trade. That pic is the first go at using a switch mode supple, the second attempt is underway right now. I have some pics of the various parts in development, I'll make another thread and throw them up when I find them.

Thanks for the tip, I'll try that out. Glad I saved the original layered image to :D

Zacherof,
You guessed correctly. It is my take on a Japanese KI-44 shoki. Trying to UV unwrap it now and try my hand at texturing and painting it. Since I have rarely done UV unwrapping and texturing this will take time. But aircraft is a love of mind, not surprising flying aces high and using this forum. So I model aircraft a lot. The last post was an animation of the landing gear I did and for some reason it displays shortened width wise giving it that "fat" look.
Regards,
BSB

Outstanding woodworking!
I really like the color of blue you used on the fish.

Thanks Zach, its a navy blue wash really watered down over the natural wood (Bass) on the top and over a cream coloured wash on the bottom, which gives it a tri coloured look over the whole side of the fish. I usually carve Salmon and use either a red oxide wash or an avacado green wash.

Thanks alot Ink, means alot coming from an artist as talented as you! Ive always wanted to try tattooing but I think Ill stick to my wood and acrylic.

What used to bum me out about doin cars-bikes an the like ..
..I'd do a real knockout image, just killer .. and the guy would roll the car
or get T-boned in an intersection on her bike .. had the worst luck.
Oil was intriguing ..it is completely opaque and you can make it dry slow or fast
..you can work with it to get the right shade for *days*
..and the detail you can put in is mind boggling.
That Stiletto Spitfire ..I was doing the colors of the iris of pilots eyeballs with a pin ..
..I stepped back and decided I was done ..on a 4 foot canvas :)
The color dynamic range is very close to what the eye can see, the only thing it cannot do
is light.. but a gesso wash will make the whites bright enough that a photograph does not do it justice.
So if you're a perfectionist and a bit obsessive ..oil rocks :)
It will let you do it right.. it just takes time :)

For paints, I prefer oil. I can leave my paint out and I won't dry. With acrilic, it can't take hours to sometimes get the shade of color was using and most
of the time it isn't perfect. :furious
currently working acrilic on butcher paper

Hey Ink, what pad do you have?
I just have a Wacom Bamboo that I got for Christmas. I was considering on getting an Intuous 4 off ebay though. They're apparently much more sensitive, and I assume accurate?

Also, here's an in progress save of a digital painting of Tom Waits that I have going. Trying to learn to use the software brushes and blending with the paints and such is fun! It's still got plenty of work left, but it's a good start and I'm feeling positive about it as a finished piece.

I have the Bamboo "pen and touch" I cant imagine any being more "accurate" this is dead on, and very sensitive (sometimes too much) you can adjust the sensitivity.
although I have never used that brand...so could be way off.
that piece is looking great man :aok
wait until you really get used to using the tablet.....the subtleties and depth you will get is awesome.
I cant push "GIMP Painter" enough ether, not sure if thats the program you are using ( i know you said you have it)
I wont use anything else, and yes I have tried almost all of them.

I made that one in MyPaint actually. I have a ton of software brushes that I downloaded for it. I have the Gimp Painter, and have messed with it, but there are so many settings that it's a little bit daunting. I'm starting to get more comfortable though, so I'll probably be venturing into it more in the future.

it seems daunting but it really isnt.....
work in layers, the layer tree, mine is on the right side, it will load up with just one layer, say you have a color that you want to deepen, but dont want to add more color....make a duplicate of that layer..then merge them together(to work right they must be in the same "mode"if merging from anywhere but the second from bottom...
Right click on the layer in the layer tree...this will give you options to duplicate or create new layer....a new layer can be any color you want or transparent, which is what I always use for new layers unless duplicating of course....
when you merge layers start from the second from the bottom so when you are done they merge with the bottom layer, but only do that for finished stuff, if you merge anywhere else you will lose the "mode" set for that layer, IE if you try to merge down a layer that is set to "burn" anywhere in the layer tree (except the second from bottom) it will go to "normal"....and you will lose the "burn effect"
also keep a copy in native GIMP format with all the layers so at any point you can go and work on an individual layer....
you can find an absurd number of brushes for GIMP painter also..... GIMP brushes are fine for GIMP Painter....
and you can make our own brushes also :aok
a thing that gave me a hard time was, I would forget I had something "selected" and try to work elsewhere on the image or another layer outside the selected area...when you have a selected area you can only work in that selected area but on any layer.
the tools that are up top can be gotten to by right clicking anywhere on the image....
also there are "windows" such as the layer window that can be docked, click on "windows" or right click and choose "windows" I have
the layer window....the selection editor window....history window....Paths window..... and channels window all docked
(if you do skins the "path" tool is a must for rivets)
experimentation is a great thing and a fast way to learning :aok

Are you flying these days?

every now and then, most times I just go to DA, I know the guys there (at least most of them) want to fight.
FSO is a must though. :joystick:

Next time you're around, gimme a shout if I'm up. I'll DA with you, I need all kinds of practice

Sadly a lot of my artistic skill is crippled by my lack of memory. All of my art is made up on the fly, and usually changes multiple times before I'm finished. Luckily skinning is different since I have to recreate something using existing images. Anyway, here is one of the pics I did manage to finish.

That was all rendered out using GIMPs plugins and filters with the exception of the lake and the mountains, both of which I'm not completely happy with. Never could get the mountains to look right so I just threw a shadow on them and said "Eh..."
This is the kind of art I prefer to do:

Dragon tamer google 'spray paint art' ;)
At first I thought you did that in spray.

I actually do have some spray paint art that I bought a while back. Some of the things those guys can do amazes me. It was the inspiration for the painting. The whole "City on another planet" thing fascinates me.
