Any new pieces of art around these days? I've just finished a piece, acryl colour on canvas with a little silver wire sculpture, have a look if you want:

Dragonfly (http://www.deviantart.com/view/35438268/)

Very neat. Alas, I've no time to create anything just now (nor the motivation to), and none of my older works are online.

Aw... to bad. Not even time to scan them/take pictures? :(

Ooo, I like!
:fluffle:

Kinda art related... have school art exhibition on Thursday where some work of mine shall be up *nods*

Hopefully it'll be the work I did with sunsets, all modified on the computer, little abstract squares of the pictures with different effects, all linked together with pastels or chalks and things.

Or, it might be another bit of work which includes this really cool layered bit of work with holes in the paper that have blue oil pastel underneath, and has stitch and various medias in response to this image of a hugely magnified bone. (It really looks like lakes and mountains - strange how and image of something so small can look like image of something huge.) Will link to the picture I worked off in a second...

EDIT:
Here we go:

Also did interpretations of this (with chalk and paint):

The only thing I have in electronic form is: http://youtube.com/watch?v=gf0ZTEsX8aE

...and it's not particularly good.

That is a pretty damn fine picture, Cabra. Good work.

Doing some Graphic Design I had to be able to draw moderately. My site is here:

However, most of my pictures aren't up on it - yet.

Well, I find it pretty amazing. It's a way of painting I was going to attempt sometime in the near future, as I wanted to do a portrait of someone basically only showing the shadows...

A great deal of my work is stylised, because I like bold colours/pattern. I'll see if I can dig out some of my other stuff.

Mmmh you're cute and that painting is quite cool too ^^

Reminds me of this picture (http://irc-galleria.net/view.php?nick=Emie&image_id=34515400) of myself.

I was listening to some goood music, sitting on a roof, with the world under me.

And that painting somehow represents the moment and feeling I felt there.

Thank you for being such a great artist.. Bringing back sweet memories!

Those that are up are great, though. I like the one with the cross in the ice... don't ask me why, it gives me goosebumps.

I can't draw for shit, but do fiction short stories count as art >_>

A different form of art, but art nonetheless. Let's see one or two :D

I will post my submission for a contest after it is over (which they like to extend their contests for about a week after the original end date because of lack of entries).

Let me guess... that's you? :D

Thanks. I've been trying to update my site, but it's hard since I keep forgetting the password to it, and the email I used to have the password sent to (in other words I'm screwed).

That happened to me with the one homepage I ever made, years ago. It's still up there somewhere, unchanged for about 7 years now....:cool:

It's performance art. The action of posting a photo of Keith Haring on the internet is the piece itself.

i'm really looking forward to seeing the finished pieces of that :)

and the other one still intrigues me (ie i can't fully understand it :p will have to see it *nods* :P) (btw the last link there gives me a webshots "this page cannot be found error :( "We're sorry...
...due to a high volume of page requests, this Webshots page is not available right now.
If you are looking for a photo, it is possible that the photo has moved or no longer exists.")




only one new "arty" thing here (unless you count CGI stuff)... and its not technically new just only got my hands on it recently.

some CGI stuff here
http://www.hlj.me.uk/pics/misc/swirly.jpg (just cool)

I would have to google it... and it's all in German anyway...

The effort of googling is not great enough - too much effort.

Wow, I love all the new stuff!

Jenrak - wow, I didn't even know you did graphic desgin, did you ever post it here before? I especially like this (http://www.freewebs.com/sleekportfolio/GalleryImage3.jpg) one.

And the dragon fly looks awesome, Cabra - I loooove the eyes. How did you get the wire curled up so cleanly/regularly?? I used to make jewelry sometimes and that was always the hardest to do, ugh. >.<

Oh, and The Mindset - quirky idea, beautiful picture, and music by Cake! Color me happy. :)


Man, now I wish I'd be all creative and stuff, too.

Maybe I should dig out the photography thread again - would that count as grave digging? Or maybe PM wants to start a new one? PM?

I'm a performance artist. If you'd like to see my work, we can make an appointment and I'll chase your mailman in the buff. For an extra fee, I'll get naked too. :)

I do alot things people never knew I do. Nothing malign, though. Clean as a whistle *looks around shiftily*

And no, I don't think I've ever posted my site here before.

Acutally... it wasn't hard at all. The first two circles were a bit tricky because the pincers I had were really to big for that kind of work. So I lost two fingernails in the process. :(
Do you have some pics of the jewellery? I used to make some myself, but I would only do beads on elastic string. I hate those little tiny locks on necklaces that you can't ever close. Or open again.

How much do I have to pay to see the mailman nacked, though?

i don't think it would count as gravedigging... its a very specific thread and a contributive one so i should guess the mods would be fine with it (maybe better that than have two hanging around), but its up to you :) i'll be off to bed in a minute anyhow so i leave it with you *nods*

That's between you and the mailman.

Hmm, I'm impressed. I wouldn't have thought you could get the circles so smooth with pincers. But maybe the Pincer God was mollified by the the nail sacrifice. ;p
Nah, I don't have any pics. And yeah, I never started with the "real" hardware either. I remember the curling thing from a ring I did, but yeah, the wire was really thin and too easily deformed, so maybe that's what made it so tricky.

Hmm, I'll think about it. It'd be somewhat stupid, seeing how I myself don't even have any new pictures to put on, but I always love to see other people's stuff, so maybe I still should.

Well, first I have to find it anyway. :p

Goodnight. =)

Great piece. Dragonflies are totally sweet. don't have any artwork pictured yet. still kind-of shy about showing everyone my soul.

I know what you mean... :fluffle:

But I'll tell you something : very few people will really see your soul in your artwork. They'll see their own souls.
People can only ever see what they know.

well in that case perhaps a new one would be best, seeing how i don't have any new ones to share either :P

What a load of impressionist rubbish.

What if the work contains new knowledge?

Why can't people draw nice things, like a sunset or something.

No. That picture was great, but it was kind of creepy...

Nice work. :)

I haven't finished anything new, but I'm in the middle of some fun projects: Phase two of an interactive collaborative project with another artist is getting installed for a show in July. Another artist and I are curating a group show of new works based on a collection of paper masks. And I'm working on a series of surrealist dollhouses.

Did you catch the episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent in which a fictional version of Thomas Kinkade was cast as a psycho serial killer? Line from the show: "I always found his work a little creepy and disturbing."

Looks like a bunch of impressionist rubbish.;)

And it is...For now.

Soon I will wipe my arse on it and hang it upside down. The action of arse wiping is the actual piece and the painting becomes an installation, a memory of a performance.
If you absolutely must see what I have in mind, then turn your computer screen upside down, put just a hint of peanut butter on your finger and paint a little skidmark through the middle of it.

lol . Just a little skidmark?

Well, it's one of those "unknown" factors. You can try different stuff like melted chocolate, or, if it's a saturday morning, you can chuck a bowl of stew at your screen.

3DSMax 7 and Mental Ray.

I like the dragonfly in there :D

I put out something new every couple of weeks or so... ish. My "portfolio" is on devART (http://simplytonks.deviantart.com). I do oils, Prismacolor markers, and photography, wheee. My latest project is the fanart100 for the movie Red Eye (http://bejerot.strawberii.net/art.html).

Right now there is only a punk song, but I plan to add more music fairly soon.

Thank you, I made that in 3ds max 5, though I use 8 now. Its an arisaka type... 99, if I remember. Made it as a gift for a half life 2 mod, who decided to make their own in the end... meh, I liked mine more.

The grenade was actually about 3 minutes of work, just trying a method I came up with myself... I didn't do the skin, I gave it to someone else who was learning skinning, and just happened to have the nearly finished render on my photobucket account. Meh.

I havn't done anything that great recently... I really should get back into modeling more.

The limit of my artistic skills lie in making Star Trek mission patches on photoshop.

I liked this thread, so I officially bump.

for my IC military, posted it recently on the NS Draftroom, oh and it's done in paint so excuse the quality.

Interestingly the above Tank started out as the image done below

based on WH40K's predator, but I made modifications after being informed by the NS Draftroom members.
