Official OT-Creativity Thread 2

[Ryumaru]

Hey guys- This is my first piece in my drawing 2 class. We started with only the contour of the bouquet so I didn't know what the real assignment was- couldn't visualize ahead. Most of it is admittedly done from imagination( sick the whole weekend and couldn't go to the extra sessions) I'd would be very grateful for any critique concerned with and major values in the image and their effect on the composition. Anything that can be changed remotely easily will be- butttt I basically only have till 1 pm tommorow to work on this so HURRY UP AND CRIT : DDDD
..
Please?

Thankyou for viewing :]

Eep I should have expanded a little more. The assignment was dealing with mark making- thinking of abstract ways to make marks and such, The stems to the right are just continued from the bouquet on the left- to fit it in and for a compositional element. There are also some figure ground distortion- ish things going on( such as the stems) The black spot( darker than it actually is due to poor photo) is mainly there to balance out the values to the right- and it was the darkest area in the still life set up.

That's pretty nice, Ryumaru what kind of materials and paper is that? Looks like charcoal and the strokes on the first image remind me of newsprint, but I think that more because of the zoom judging by the closer zoom on the second image. Newsprint is more for sketchy stuff than assignments, too, I suppose.

What did your teacher think of the piece?

Mathias, congrats on being the first person to really analyze my music.  I feel flattered.  It was written for my father, but that other explanation is pretty accurate to me as well.. just never thought about it.

I wrote another song.  Not as good as the last probably, but I needed to get a cheesy/simple love song out of me...

Hey guys, I've been working with Zbrush, and I just thought I'd show some stuff I've been doing. This is really my first attempt at modeling.

It's supposed to be a Demon Head.

crab2: The paper is stonehenge drawing paper, can't remember the weight of it but it's not very thick. It's a mixture of graphite and charcoal, sometimes using water and graphite for certain effects. My teacher really liked it, it's currently up on the wall :]

3rd serious attempt at acrylics ever. kinda surreal, as ptoing put it

[Doppleganger]

That's pretty sweet, Dex! Reminds me of some of your pixel work. Definitely love the colors and textures going on in there. The actual subject matter is a bit uninspiring though..


Second serious attempt at concept art styled photoshopping. This was for a to be continued campaign screen for our company's series Battalion.

I make everything in photoshop, so..

A signature I'd made with 2 renders for a website I'm a member of:


a planet


Girl, used some random reference image for the shapes and whatnot
123

an eye?



Mandalorian armor reference sketch for some friends' story

initials


a thing I used to put at the end of my posts on some website


and finally a microhero (black widow as power girl for halloween), which I've heard members of this site despise the little buggers XD

[Gil]

We don't hate microheroes, we just hate the fact that there are
1) So many
2) They have a very low quality on average

Yours looks pretty decent. We had dollers who received tons of praise here too.

[Soleil]

mine looks decent cuz unlike half of the other people who make them, I didn't cut and paste templates and so-on XD
