The 2d Art Thread

[hereaftermouse]

Hereafternouse - Great early work in pen and ink! Keep at it - I've been working with it for over 30 years now and it's always an adventure.

Next I think I would like to design some Steampunk "documents", like adverts and boarding tickets for Airships.

-Cathy

Thanks - it has certainly been fun thus far. Your work is lovely, I aspire to be able to create such things.

[Skyshaper]

I am also working on two more currently, as well as a three book series that all of the art is for.

[Fortigurn]

Those are beautiful Skyshaper, do you have any more?

[NazT]

Very nice city view!

[Brass Monkey]

Wow.... lovely.... I like the dirty, almost film noir feel

Although, I have to say, given the uncanny resemblance to new york, perhaps use of the Empire State Building for it's intended purpose (glorified zeppelin mooring mast) could be in evidence?

[Skyshaper]

Yes, it was intended to be NYC, however, a variant version of it.

There are not any more that are finished, yet.  I am working on three others, two of which have people and are more personal in feel.

They are artwork for the first of a three part book series I am also writing.  Should things fall into place, I'll be doing a Max Payne style artwork web comic for the whole thing as well.

Thanks everyone!

I guess I'll break this thread in!

This is a sneak preview of the series I'm currently working on. I call it Victorian Robotopia. This one is actually a bit different from most in the series, but once I have them all complete, I will show them off here.

One of my friends is making me do a gallery show, so I'm currently working on a cyborg eye similar to the one pictured to wear at the opening.

Most excellent.  I do enjoy the look of this images. 

And Skyshaper your work is smashing.  I do so enjoy this thread.

I love the noir feel to it. It's my current desktop, and PSP, background. Just the right mix of sharp detail, and fuzzy outlines.

 Skyshaper... your work is INCREDIBLE.  I have the cityscape pic with airship as my desktop. It's gorgeous. I agree with the film noir feel.

[Ben Hudson, Esq.]

Oh, curse this thread and the inadequacy it makes me feel for my lack of life-drawing skills!

I think that I might have a go at a pen and ink drawing with a pseudoclockwork heart. I might be able to cope because gears are all nice and regular It's the organic curves I can't really do. Proportion always goes out of the window when I try and draw things wot live.

[Gentlemens Handbook]

My first day with a Wacom monitor. I was using the 21 inch.

[Smaggers]

The cintiq?  Sweeeet.  It's a weird and cool thing isn't it?

[Gentlemens Handbook]

yes, I was using the 21 inch, shortly after I charged the 12 inch to my credit card and it shall be arriving in the mail soon.

[Smaggers]

You can get a switcher programme that means you can leave menus on a second monitor and still get to them with the pen by flipping the cursor to the other screen.  They've probably got it built into the drivers by now.   

A guy on my forums got a 12", and upgraded it a day or two later for a 21".   I built a 15" and it's OK screen size wise.


Oh, and nice picture .  the robot has a vaguely dangerous manic air about it.

[Gentlemens Handbook]

I spent another day with the tablet and these are the results.

I fixed the face, and the shading and highlights are improving.

[Ben Hudson, Esq.]

Scanner's on the fritz, and Samsung in their eternal wisdom have put a lens so big on the NV5 that it gets in the way of the flash. So to avoid a shadow, this is a bad picture.

Edit: And in my eternal wisdom I've made it really big. Sorry. I'll get it fixed sometime.

What a wonderfully talented group you all are!
A properly themed tattoo has yet to pass beneath my needles, but I paint and dream that someday, the right customer will come along. One who appreciates victorian funerary themes.

I do like that first one very much indeed.

I do allot of photo manipulations and have a few that fall under "Steampunk". When in collage I took a Photography class that did nothing for me except give me a HUGE back stock of images to work with.
Here are a few that I would like to share. They may be found to be NSFW so I have placed them behind spoilers.

wow, that second one is amazing. The blending is seamless.

I assume your a Giger fan, I have both Necronomicons.

I like how your style stays original but shows your influences. To many people copy outright.

Good work.

I love both of those. I'd definitely have them. I haven't finished getting tattoos yet. They are terribly addictive....
