Art Share Thread

Post by seasnails »

A thread for anyone to share any of their own art, be it visual, audible, or whatever else.

I'm going to cheat for my first share and just link directly to my site's "art" page. https://woahyeahyeah.neocities.org/art

I tend to go in brief spurts followed by extended periods of no-drawing activity, but when the inspiration strikes I have a lot of fun doing it.

here's a doodle of gwenpool I doodled a few days ago, since she's now a fortnite thing (I don't play that game, but I loved her comics)

Looks great! I like the simple color palette. My firstborn was just telling me the other day how they like Gwenpool more than Deadpool.

Here's one I just did that may look familiar:

P.S. View it in a new window to see it full-sized and avoid the weird effect that happens when the black and white fill patterns are resized.

Glad you like it, I'm sure it won't be the last! I use an emulator called Mini vMac and I edited mine to have a 1024x768 resolution so I have more room to work with in MacDraw II, which is what I use for the actual drawing within the emulator. (Or occasionally, MacPaint for more freeform stuff.) If you ever want to play around with it and want help getting the ROM, disk images, etc. just let me know.

Trying to do at least one piece every day. Today's is Calvin's "Tracer Bullet" alter-ego, from Calvin & Hobbes. I just wholesale copycatted the reference image (which fans will no doubt recognize) I had next to me because I wanted to practice the neat light/shadow look it uses.

All right, sorry for two in a single day but I apparently got bit by the drawing bug and I'm really proud of this one. Vivi, from Final Fantasy IX (used a reference image, no way I could come up with all those details on my own):

I think using the 2pt line thickness works better than the default 1pt I've been using in the past, it just seems to jive with the style better. Hands are hard, but I'm particularly pleased with the shading on the knobbly staff.

@seasnails this is a really challenging platform to draw on!

Here's one my first attempts:
