It took me a long time to catch up with this thread. Everyone's art is aw some

I hope you all don't mind me throwing up mine. And bumping this thread up. On another note, I don't have a deviant art page. I just never thought about it for what ever reason. How do you guys like it?

OK here is some of mine. They are not the newest. I still need to re-hook my scanner back up from the OS re-install. I have some more on another hard drive I can't get to as well.

My Avatar <-------------- Is my favorate. It's a 2.5 by 3.5 inch charcoal, and white pastel on grey toned paper. It's my hommage to Jean Leon Gerome's Bacchante. My favorate painting Dang! I did not mean to make it so big.

Half finished because I got bord with it. Mermaid (I forgot which pencils I used) But this is just a sloppy sketch. 9x12

another sloppy sketch

A mini 3.5x2.5 inch

My other favorate mini portrait 2.5x3.5 inch a young 1820 something Mary Cassatte

lol, aparently whenever I scanned it, it was large! Sorry about the size. I don't know what I'm doing when posting an image.

Great artwork!

I love the Deviant Art site, there are so many great artists on there. I find myself wandering the site for hours. You should get one.

I do the same man.

I have tons of photography I should upload, except I've been so lazy about it.

 

[Karmic]

tell me about it, I haven't uploaded much since I came back from China, and even that wasnt much.

 

[Jace_Mereel]

I feckin' love this piece.

 

[El Stormo]

I like my DevianTART account too, except for all the stupid camwhores.

 

[Morganna]

Thanks, DreamNeonBlack, and thank you Jace

I took the advice and got an account there. I'm still filling it out so it's going to be naked for a little while. here is the URL. Someone stole my name so I had to modify lol. http://morganna913.deviantart.com/ Boy your avatar has to be tiny!

El Stormo, what is a CamWhore and what do they do

Yuo is serius?

 

[Morganna]

I is



I figured it was a bunch of whores spamming people with their web cams. But can't figure out why that would be on an art site I figured I would ask.

I'd use my devart account WAY more often if they had some sort of batch uploading, or the deviation submission process wasn't so long and drawn out. It literally takes 5 minutes from start to finish to put up one picture, and I have about a million I want to put up.

There are many problems with deviantart, one being the fact that EVERYONE is an artist. No longer is it a rare gift, but now absolutely everyone, with the new technologies and such, can take photos with one click and call themselves photographers.

 

[Morganna]

Your pics are awesome, Kevin. Simply breath taking! can you give a non camera owner some pointers for when she's not so broke? allthough it will still be awhile before I can get one. I really need one because I hate drawing from life (And my cat won't be still for a portrait drawing lol)

Wow, five minutes? They need to do something about that.

 

[Shpongled]

Hey, thanks! I don't really use any special cameras, just a Sony I got on ebay for $200. As much as I'd love to have a digital SLR, I just can't afford one right now. But a lot of the point and shoot cameras out nowadays are super good. I think if you get anything modern, you'll be able to take pretty great pictures with it right out of the box.

I think the key to taking good pictures is more about trying to make them look like what you see in your head when you first think "Oh that'd be a cool picture", rather than how nice your equipment is. Of course, if you've got the good gear, it's going to make the picture even better.

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

I never knew this was by you! Great job! It looks so...classical I guess. Even moreso than the original I think. :Spin:

 

[Morganna]

Thanks again Kevin! You just tickled me pink! 200 bucks. I could have sworn you had an SLR. I'm saving for that. I was looking in all the wrong places when I entertained the idea. I was looking for a new one! that was the problem. I wanted something that took damn fine pictures so It didn't distort the image too much for drawing, or wash out the shadows that I so desperately need. I do allot of eye balling, and site taking, so I would just need the pic to be small-ish since I'm too lazy to grid. If it's more then a cross hair I usually run for cover. I know I will probably need at least a six megapixel. I tried to draw a picture of my friend Ham-Bone from a picture she had gave me. But her camera that took it is utter crap. She looks like the wicked witch from the west in my drawing lol. I think her's was a 3 megapixel. She will not be pleased when I show it to her.

I got a book from the library a long time ago (I wish I can remember the name of it) Where the woman would gather her collective photo's; put them in photoshop, and made a single picture to paint from from a bunch of shit that didn't exist. When the finished painting was done it looked like everything went together perfectly. I've so have been wanting to try that.

Thank you Cara! We almost nearly cross posted I'm going to have to dig the original up so you guys can see every place I fucked up on this one hahahha. I'm going to eventually buy a print of that and hang it on my wall with a shrine! It's so dreamy.

 

[Anvil]

I might as well post mine as well, although it's not nearly as impressive as Fred's, Dan's or Kevin's...
