Art Archive The Artist's Cantina: A Social Thread

Hey, I like the wallpaper. And isn't stuff like this why there's a thing called a social thread?

I've taken a random pic from my photo album and sight traced a boy. It actually doesn't look too bad. I'll add it to my thread soon to get opinions on the thing.

 

Exactly, it isn't their fault no one else chimed in on their wallpaper chat Yeah, that last modification of the Dooku background works very nicely!

I love making custom wallpaper, too. I've made a couple of sets of calendar wallpapers-- one for each month, build a subtle calendar of the month into the image and have the image have something to do with the month. If you remember to save it in Photoshop or something instead of freezing it as a .jpg, you can change it to fit the next year or another month later, too

I wish these creative urges didn't come every six months or so; I could maintain a thread in here. (My old one is locked.)

Sometimes I forget to do that.

 

That's cool.

What's the general feeling around here about digital art vs. traditionally created art? I feel funny calling what I do art.

 

DoTF-- yeah, I forget to save it in a layered format, too, which is why I added the comment

As for my wallpapers, this is a new set (did it as a present for an online friend, the person who's getting it doesn't know they're getting them yet... But I don't think they hang around the fanart board.):

I have some old ones I did for myself, but I don't have them in a way I can really show at the moment.

 

Digital is art to me just as much as hand drawn.

And what I mean by sight tracing is looking at it and drawing it the best that I can. You probably have a different name for it. For all I know, you probably consider it drawing, since it is my hand controling the pencil without something under it to trace, but I call it sight tracing.

BTW, that second Dooku thing does look great to me. But then, I'm no artist.

 

Thank ye much!

 

Digital/handdrawn--Yeah, what HS29 said, either takes talent, and some digital is practically hand-drawn. It's all good; I do both.

 

old thread

 

Thanks so much, Han-- or rather, Steph! It was a blast to do. Some of it I'd used before as my own personal desktop

 

Hmm, look like I can't edit over a mod edit. Oh, well. HS, could you take the date out the thread title?

 

Well, I added a link to the latest attempt to my thread. Check it out and tell me what you think, please.

 

Nah, I'd have to bug you to change the date with every update. Please take it out.

 

Hi new mod! Nice wallpapers, too.

 

Hi new mod! Nice wallpapers, too.

 

Well, I just saw this on BBC News. I guess you could look at it as fan art for financial reward..

 

*raises hand*

I have a question...

*waits a while*

Why isn't Han up in the mod block in this forum?

 

good question. I was wondering that, too.
