Whether your medium is traditional, digital, or in a realm of its own, if it’s visual (or you hope it will be one of these days), here’s a place to talk about it, dream about it, or share ideas, no matter if you’re an artist or not.
Patience, Please
This site is under reconstruction and will look strange for a while. We regret the inconvenience.
I’ll kick this off by reposting Agrrrfishi’s prize-winning drawing since it probably wouldn’t have much chance of being seen on the old thread.
And I’ll repost my post from the old thread!
Agrrrfishi- Nice! I love it!
I’ll send in my Three Griffins when I have enough free time to scan them into my computer.
Why are these clocks on military time? And nice drawing Agrrrfishi!
H’m… will this show up? *hits Preview*
I guess it didn’t. How do you get a drawing on here?
Mail it to gapa @ musefanpage.com.
Same question as Kiga.
I sent in a picture a while ago…unless it has already been posted elsewhere, could you post it here, GAPAs? P*ease?
You send it in to the email “gapa @ museblog.com’ I think. Check on the email on last thread before sending though. Or a GAPA could correct it, if it’s wrong.*hinthint*
Two more artworks. One from kiwimuncher:
One from Loreena Chatheng (formerly known as AthenianPsycho):
You can see stuff on mine a lot better if you click it,
Woah, the girl with the HPB shirt looks freakishly like me…. I’m going to pretend it is.
Am I supposed to be in there?
cool!
Agrrrfishi! That’s freakishly awesome!
Thank you so much to all! I love yours too, Kiwi! All the dirrefent colors of the hands make such a great blend together and the attention to detail is awesome!
Thanks!
I’m still spazzing over your pen drawing though. PEN! That’s do difficult to do too, because you can’t erase and it looks so awesome! Squee!
All those pictures are pretty awesome, but It totally see why Arrrgfish won.
wow.
1- *jaw drops* That’s amazing, Aggie. As Meow Mix said, I can see why you won.
8- I like both of those…. the hands are cool, and of course I like anything that’s a drawing to do with MB. Are the people in the second one anyone in particular?
Well, it seems to be that whenever I draw anything MB-themed, the boy with the oddly-colored hair is Beavo. There’s also kind of an autoportrait in there.
8- Kiwimuncher- Is that… *peers*… colored pencil?
I drew a picture of a boy holding a soccer ball the other day, which I’m quite proud of. I’d send it in, but my scanner decided to semi-ruin it, because some of my lines weren’t dark enough. Oh well.
15) YEah, it was.
14.1- So that would be the guy with the bright red hair? By autoportrait I’m assuming you mean you….are you the girl in the Kokopelli costume?
No, I’m not the girl in the Kokopelli costume. And it’s not red, it’s magenta!
Ohhhhh kiwi that’s so amazingly cool!!!!!!!!
Is Koko Costume Girl supposed to be Kokonilly? Someone once said they imagined her as “Kokopelli with long red hair”.
I love your picture, Loreena. (That’s what I’m calling you.) The little balls of fur with legs- Are they wungs? I’m probably going to go off and start an attempt at something like that, since I always get inspired by that sort of thing. If I were one of those people I would be the girl with long sleeves, and the ponytail, or the girl right beside her, if I grew out my hair. Who would everyone else be? Out of curiosity.
Yes, they’re wungs. My image of wungs is based on the thing POSOC – No, Capricious – anyway, someone – drew a long time ago. And everyone except me and Beavo are kinda random. The guys are just…the only guys, and the girl in the front with the brown hair looks kinda like my sister. The girl next to her…I pretty much drew because I didn’t want to offend anyone, but she turned out the prettiest of all of them, so no sadnesses there.
The MA Party looks awesome!
I already said this, but why are these clocks on military time?!
We like them that way. European MBers are already used to it, and American MBers can learn. It’s not that hard to subtract 12.
We like them that way. Have I mentioned that all the non-digital clocks at Muse Academy run counterclockwise? It’s just one of our whims.
AP, what may I ask is that little fuzzy thing in the bottom left corner??? It’s so cute!!!!!!
OMG! I didn’t even notice the fuzzy things!
Fuzzy fuzzy fuzzy! *runs off gushing about fuzzies*
24-It’s a wung. There’s another one in the back corner (the corner of the room, not of the drawing).
Hey speaking about wungs . . .
Where can I get one?
Is it like adoption?
Help!
That is a question for the Wungs thread, not Visual Arts.
17- Nice! I like the shading on the hands. (Raynpho fails at shading in color.)
I’ve always wanted to submit something for this thread, but I’ve never gotten around to it! I might, soon. If I sent in something small right now-ish, would it be likely that it would make it onto the thread soon-ish?
Might-ish.
That seems like a promising reply. Sent-ish!
Nthanda the laugher sent these selections from her AP Studio Art portfolio. She said, “As usual, they’re of my character, Trystan Evander (why no, I’m not obsessed…)”
Nthanda, I wasn’t sure if the shading was original or something the scanner created, particularly in the second picture. I can adjust them if need be.
Whoa. I love these. I wish I could draw. The extent of my artistry is doodling really creepy dolls with severed arms and stiched mouths on my Civics book.
Raynpho, quick question about one of your images. Is that your name on the back of the newspaper?
Ahhh, it must be. I think I sent you the wrong one. It doesn’t matter much in terms of which one, but would you rather I send you the right one with my name replaced with “Raynpho” or just blank it out yourself?
I can blank it out easily enough. Thanks.
The first one looks fine…that’s weird on the second, just because I took a picture of that one, instead of scanning it. I remember it taking a long time to upload, though, so maybe it’s just a bit pixellated or messed up from the computer.
It’s a photography problem, lighting is uneven and white balance is off. I can fix it, but not tonight. Is the paper supposed to be all white?
Yeah, the paper is white. Just to clarify, the visor one is fine I think, and the other one just needs to be cleaned up a bit on the white. Thanks!
Is the one with the red visor the “sensory deprivation” thing Robert suggested?
That’s an interesting idea, but no. I’m not quite sure what it is…I think maybe a futuristic-looking gas mask, reflecting a red sky. That’s a pretty sweet idea, though, to have a mask for sensory deprivation, all I could think of was a room. Thanks for the idea.
What’s a sensory deprivation thing?
From Raynpho:
Paker! SQUEEE!!!
Wait… that’s not Paker… how embarrassing.
Nah, it’s not. Sorry. It was a birthday card for a friend, hence the cakes & cupcakes, about a card game we had recently played and hated. But you can pretend it’s Paker, if it makes you happy!
The second is is from a series of continuously, embarrassingly nonfunny comics for the school paper.
That’s a very nice blackout job you’ve done there, Lady B.
It’s Mao! Mao! One of my favorite games.
*gasp* You got it!
Re: Mao
Hmm. My sister’s friends are over, and they’re playing it, and my feet hurt.
There was a rule about “switching with your opposite”.
And apparently it’s fun, when you learn to play it at the same time as everyone else. Raynpho, it seems that it’s supposed to be vague, but I was on the verge of tears several times because of everyone’s lack of confusion as opposed to mine. I’ll go look it up on Wikipedia.
Don’t feel bad. I thought it was Paker too.
Squee. hmmmm. I like that word.
I think I’ll send in some photos I took… you know, of nature and such.
29, 32- Those are great!
29- I love the second one. It’s really great. The building and the body are quite skilled. I, personally, find builings really difficult. So, Kudos.
I might send in a few of my sketches. My friends say I’m really good at art, but there are tons of people here that are better than me. Everyone’s drawings are awesomely aWeSoMeLy, awesome!!!!
29) Squee! Is that who that is?!
Those are awesomely awesome pictures! What did you do them in?
They’re both of Trystan Evander, my character. The first is pencil and marker (Sharpie) and the second is ink and acrylic on canvas paper. Looooves canvas paper, the inks really soak into all the little nooks and crannies and makes the black really black.
Wow! this stuff is awesome! my stuff looks like crap compared to this…
I just sent in a few photos of things I made in 3-D Art and one individual project!
I made a comic/graphic
novelsheet about the May Day Ball. Should I send it?40) You should.
Does anyone here put their art online?
41–Tried to, but deviantart kept giving me viruses
40- Yes, please do. I love seeing any MB-related drawings!
Were my photos received, Rebecca? Are there any conversion problems?
I would suggest waiting.
They’re fine. I’ll post them this evening, after I get some dinner.
From RoseQuartz:
RoseQuartz’s description:
The first two are top and side views of a glass bowl I made in 3-D Art.
The third one is a 3-D Art project where we picked two colors of paper and a shape and covered a piece of poster board. I cut some triangles out of the edges to make it look cool.
The fourth one is a 60’s pop art style wooden tile that I painted just for fun. It’s double sided, but the back isn’t much good- I just painted it to cover up a botched attempt at drawing a fire- so I didn’t take a picture of it.
The fifth and sixth are back and front views of the clay house I made in 3-D. It’s *supposed* to be “Aztec turquoise,” but it didn’t fire right. The roof should be purple. I added Sharpie accents to the windows and roof edge.
45–Those are so cool! I especially like the dish. And the house, even if it’s supposed to be “Aztec turquoise”
45–Awesome, RoseQuartz! I’m rather partial to the glass bowl, myself, although the clay house and others are flamablamablous, too.
Wowsers! THose are awesome!
I love the pink and purple thing!
I think the house looks nicer the way it is, yellow with a kind of blueish patina. Looks more rustic.
The sharpie accents are really nice on it, too. If you’d told me you drew on your clay creation with a black sharpie I would’ve raised a few eyebrows, but that actually looks really cool.
Are these in your school art class? Or do you take art classes somewhere else? Because if it’s the former then, wow, your art classes are a lot better than mine have ever been.
It was, indeed, my school art class. It’s an advanced elective. We have 8th grade 2-D and 3-D quarter-long electives, and then in high school we have a full-year 2-D Design course that’s a prerequisite for Advanced Studio Art. I’m taking 3-D 4th quarter, but I only have one more class (tomorrow), and that will probably be a studyhall. Hopefully I can take Drawing I and II next year… but since I’m taking Latin and Spanish, not to mention the fact that I don’t have any studyhalls… The chance is kind of slim.
Wow, you have art electives in middle school? *Raynpho is impressed* Our district’s art classes were obviously kind of an afterthought. (In middle school, everyone is stuck in a quarter of the same general art class, though not all at once obviously, a system which is set in place probably just so there is an art class. Half of the kids don’t want to be there, and the classes are too apathetic to do anything interesting or remotely awesome. ‘Tis a shame. Especially if you happen to actually like art.
I know what you mean. My class doesn’t do anything like that, although, my art calsses have still been fairly awesome anyway, so I’m not complaining.
WHERE ARE MY PICS?!
*freaks out*
I NEED TO SEE MY PICS!
GAH!
*gets pied*
ow.
I just sent in a whole bunch of art.
GAPAs? Did you get it?
Yes, but I haven’t had the chance to look at them until this afternoon.
A collection of artwork from Loreena Chatheng (formerly AthenianPsycho). The descriptions are hers.
Nice! I wish I could draw in marker like that… GAPAs, could you possibly linkify the MDB sheet to a bigger version? I can’t really read it.
Oh. Never mind. I swear it didn’t linkify before… Oh well.
It wasn’t your imagination. I just find it easier to add links to images after the fact, and you were too quick for me.
I love the May Day Ball montage… are either of the green-haired persons me?
I was wondering that…. but why the green nose? I think I’m the person with the red hair who enjoys the puffin puffs….but I was wearing a blue dress at the MDB, not a pink one. And Loreena would be the girl in the chiton saying ‘Praise Hestia’? Other than that, I can’t figure anyone else out.
The green nose was kind of random…it started out as a mistake. The green-haired person is supposed to be Beavo, but it can be anyone. The dresses really don’t match anyone’s, I wasn’t drawing this at school, so I couldn’t check. The orange-haired puffin puff-loving person is how I imagined Lady Bunniful for the longest time, until I saw a photo. But, again, it could be anyone. Any girl who wants to dance with Robert, anyway
. And the Hestia-praising person it technically CTN, although she looks nothing like that.
That’s not too far off from how I used to draw myself. My hair was much straighter when I was younger, and though my hair wasn’t orange, I wanted to be a redhead.
Oh, that’s Robert? I thought it was Enceladus….It’s kinda hard to tell. But the orange-haired person does kinda look like Lady B. I should seriously draw one of these….
MY hair is brown-black! Am I in this one? It says 1st May Ball.
Yeah? The person red-haired-girl-who-likes-puffin-puffs is dancing with has brown hair…. I dunno if you’re in it. Ask Loreena.
Loreena, tell us if that’s me and Armada!!! P*EASE?
And supposedly Robert’s hair is brown-black, too!
And it meant first comic, not May Ball. I planned to make more.
Am I there? I don’t see a white dress. Aah, I’m probably not.
(54) That’s exactly how I remember the ball.
I like the green dress! It’s purty!
Thank you.
Is anyone here?
Oui. l’m here. I may send in some more art. Or I may not. It depends on which way the wind is blowing.
Basically, I can do any art that doesn’t require drawing skill. Vision, abstract, splatter, you name it; just nothing realistic and I’m good ;D
Splattering is fun.
I desperately want to modge-podge a piano. That would be my life’s dream in a nutshell, basically.
wow, I haven’t been on here for-EVER! (Nice work, everyone!)
At the moment my proudest recent creations are a picture of Indra returning to heaven after Ravana sacked it (Hindi mythology) and a strange headress that looks like a pair of hot pink bunny ears when worn incorrectly. Its made out of a coat hanger, cardboard, construction paper, a giant rubber band, masking tape, and school glue mixed with red food coloring.
Drawings by kiwimuncher:
WOW. Those are really good, kiwi! The dog is so cute! And I totally know what album you took that picture from, it looks exactly like it. Nice work.
Thanks!
You are an AMAZING artist, kiwimuncher!!!!!!!!!!
WOW
Yay!
Awwww. *melts*
*Sigh*…waiting for my second clay bust to be fired. I did a matched set of Trystan and Kyrra (again, my two beloved characters). First time I’ve ever worked in clay but it is AWESUMMMM. I’ll send in pics when Kyrra’s out of the kiln (hee sounds funny to say it that way :} )
Awesome!
Can’t wait to see it!
I did this drawing using sandpaper and crayons. I might a picture of it in.
64 – kiwimuncher, you are REALLY good!
Who are you? I’ve never seen you here before.
Have fun in Holland, SilverLeopard!
oh I just got back on after about a year or so….origionally “the borzoi”
Oh yeah, have fun in Holland…world travel is THE BEST THING EVER.
Sending in some pictures (finally). Sorry there’s so many of them, you don’t have to put them all up, just pick your favourites (:
I do request that the moon, lilly, sunrise (over water, not the ice one) and peacock get put up though, they’re my personal favourites. As for the rest you don’t really even have to bother XD
Some photos from fireandhemlock:
*clapclapclapclap*
Purty!
Whoa. I love those!!! ESPECIALLY the third one.
72 – Those are beautiful, fireandhemlock! I especially like the second-to-last one.
same here.
Fire&Hemlock: Do you use any type of program to edit photos after they’re in the computer? Such as Photoshop, or I personally use iPhoto.
Hehe I just found this thread (ie, remembered that I sent in some pics.. *headdesk* I wish I wasn’t so forgetful) and no, I don’t use any program usually, I have Photoshop, but usually don’t use it.
72- Yeah, I took that last Thanksgiving at the annual paternal-side-of-the-family Thanksgiving luncheon at (I think) my great-aunt’s house. I spent maybe 20 minutes trying to get the settings right. I have a Canon PowerShot cant-remember-the-number-will-look-it-up-in-the-morning. The third one I like too, esp. when I’m depressed…………….
I like the last one. Really pretty!
I think photos are freeze frames of time. You can take a picture of someone and they’ll be there forever, even if they die. Death does not affect time, it merely creates a new path to go down, instead of the one you expected. Time is intangible; you cannot affect time, since it is not there.
Am I making sense? Should I ramble on somewhere else?
Visual Arts is a perfect place to “ramble on” about such things. And you make perfect sense.
(75) Zinc: Do you enjoy looking at old photographs?
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH, that is amazing. ill send my picture of zero, and the then of lelooch through my dads comp later. cool, amazing, i kinda not do well in drawing nature, but for people, i could say im good. the first sensible thing i drew at age 1 was a person holding a cabbage with baloons sticking out of his nose. he looks like a inflated turnip though.
Incredible pictures everyone. Kiwi, the one of the dog just comes to life, I’m amazed. Fire and Hemlock, those pictures are nice too, I love the colors.
75~ Pictures are fun to look at. Every now and then I poke through the box of old pictures (from my lifetime) and every time I notice something new. Sometimes things even in the pictures didn’t seem significant at the time, but now they’re in a much larger context. Such as the one of several years ago and I swear, one of the people in the picture is now a friend of ours, but we didn’t know them then. It’s interesting.
76~ I love snooping through old photograph albums (and paintings, especially portraits, too). I remember looking through these old albums, the ones with the thick heavy pages that were about the size of the palm of one’s hand with heavy gilt covers and latches. Ones with faded ink in a trained hand that sometimes noted who the sitters were, and the mix of people, some of whom were obviously family, some who were noted as sisters or brothers but looked different, and grandfathers pictured when they were young in military uniform of days far past.
It always felt somewhat like I was looking through something that I shouldn’t have been, the fragile pages cracking under my small fingers as I held them gently and peered at their stern faces, trying to detect the smile they were repressing, trying to discern their character, what they had done in their lives, what the circumstances of the portrait was.
The post-death portraits of children always terrified me (as I wasn’t really that much older than some of them) but filled me with wonder at the delicacy of each perfectly arranged hair and stillness no living child could ever attain. The first few times I didn’t realize what those pictures were, and I just thought they were sleeping, perhaps.
I was always quiet though, when looking through the albums. If I could sit very still, and remain very quiet, maybe one of them would whisper me a hint, or move. Or so I hoped, anyway, somewhere deep inside.
Oh, that was long. Sorry.
No need to apologize for such a delightful bit of writing.
72 – wow, all of you artists are great! I’m an awful artist. I’m not sure what I’m like with a camera.
Speaking of old photographs, I really want to find the ones mom and dad took on their honeymoon in Africa. I’ve mentioned this a few times, but I guess they’re somewhere hard to get at in the attic so it’ll take some work to get them out. We do have a few of them printed/framed on the walls though, and they’re really cool and close up–lions, elephants, gazelles.
I’ve been doodling more in class to keep myself awake. The last few have been of angels, and they’re okay, but I haven’t been using any references and was going from memory the basic anatomy and feather pattern of bird wings.
Also I suck at drawing musculature, especially on the torso x_x Maybe I should look up some references.
I might send in some Adirondack pictures once I get home…
I might send in some pictures from Holland. I got a really pretty one from the train.
I’ll be in Tours, France this summer and I’m planning to explore some old cathedrals, hunting for carvings…anyway, I’ll try to post some (if I find any).
Photography is funneh.
Some photographs by Jadestone. If you mouseover the slideshows you’ll see the controls to pause or move one by one.
Jadestone, those are amazing!!!
Those are all incredible. Jadestone, you are teh pwnage.
You’ve been busy!
How much are they edited in something like PS or Elements? It looks like most are digital, with maybe a few being film. Did you do the prints yourself in a darkroom? And what camera/s do you use? What film?
AMAZING! How on earth did you do that? Mine always come out looking like crap.
Those are beautiful!
Oh. my. Those are… stunning. I love the one of the moon. And the peacock. You got a really good angle on that one.
Hmm. I think I’ll show these to my mum, who’s a professional photographer.
(: Thank you. The moon, peacock, and b&w lilly often are my desktop, they look a lot better big actually. If you do end up showing your mother, do tell me what she says, I’d love feedback.
My mother says that they are beautiful. She says that you “have a keen eye for subjects, excellent timing, and good composition.”
Those. are. amazing.
Awesome, Jadestone! Where did you take those photos? I’m especially curious about the peacock…
What kind of camera do you have?
They were mostly taken in my backyard. The peacock, however, I took on vacation in Puerto Vallerta, Mexico last spring break. Glad you liked them!
Black-and-white photography is great, isn’t it?
I’m sure you’ve said this before, Jadestone, but what camera do you use? Also, are you using camera settings for black and white or doing that in Photoshop (or elsewhere)?
Cool! Are these really your photos?
Shhh. Don’t be rude!
It’s actually a compliment when you think about it. But yes, Enceladus, those are definitely Jadestone’s photos. If there were any doubt, you could tell by the way she talks about them.
Thanks everyone (: And yes, I did take all of them.
85.3- I’d love to learn film and darkroom someday, but I know nothing about it at the moment.
85.4- So are mine before I get to editing, a lot of the time, although part of it is knowing what kind of pictures to take.
All of them are digital. Most were taken with a Sony digital camera–let’s see, all it says on it is Cyber-shot. It’s an older camera, kind of clunky compared to new models but it had really good clarity for what I need.
I only have one on here from my new camera–a DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex), the Canon XS Rebel–which is the peacock. I’ve taken a lot more with it since I got it but I’m still getting used to all the features and how it focuses.
All editing I do in iPhoto. I can think of a few I’ve added to with photoshop elements, but that’s only when I want to remove color/have partial color really. But I usually import them from the camera to iPhoto, then click the “effects” and “adjust” buttons.
In effects I can make it black&white (I never really use the camera’s option for it–I know I can get it in b&w later on the computer and have it in color), and there’s also a boost color and fade color option that I occasionally like. UNder adjust I play with the black and white points, the exposure and contrast, the saturation, and the temperature/tint to make it look more lifelike (or less, sometimes :)), and occasionally if a picture is to dark or light there’s a highlights/shadows bar where you can lessen them. There’s also a tool to remove blemishes and smooth out areas, but I rarely use it except on people’s skin (and in the picture of the sunset over the ice–there used to be a house in front of the trees but I blacked it out to make it look nicer ;))
It’s really easy to over edit stuff so after I finish a picture I usually let it sit for a day and then go back to it and see if I overdid it. I often do XD
Some pictures I take look better if I make them look surreal, almost, with faded colors and tints–I might send some in later, they can be cool to look at and entirely different from the original picture. ‘Surreal’ isn’t quite the right word but I can’t think of it at the moment.
WHERE ARE MY PICS?!
*throws a fit*
Jadestone, I love your photos! They’re kind of….generic, but they’re GORGEOUS.
91- Thank you (:
I know they’re all sort of… the usual kind of picture you’d see, I’m hoping to work on that and develop my own style. But it’s only been a year and a half that I’ve been really interested in it, so I’m sure it’ll come in time.
No one’s been here for a while.
I’m obsessed with drawing Death Note characters.
*shakefist* I hate drawing L’s hair!! (I do love L, but his godd**n hair!!! *rips fingers out*)
72) Those are awesome F&H!
85) Wowsers Jadestone! Those are fantastic!
I did a lot of stuff over vacation. I may send some stuff in…
GAPAs, did you get my stuff?
For my English summer reading, we have to draw 4 portraits and I finished the last one 2 days ago! *is happy*
*wonders where the people are*
Art by kiwimuncher:
You. Are. Amazing. Kiwimuncher, your art rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m in awe…
Wow!
That’s incredible… I wish I could draw like that.
ART WIN
Wow, Kiwimuncher! Awesome!
Fabulous. Fantastic. Flamablamablous. I like the one of the old man. What medium did you use for the horse?
I love the horse. I wish I could draw like that.
Great job, kiwimuncher. You really captures the motion well in the first drawing.
Yay!
Thanks everyone!
OK… so… is anyone taking art anytime soon at school?
I’ve gotten better at drawing. Quite liking my eyes, I think they’re pweety.
My head are too big, and I need to work on proportion.
Might send something in one of these days.
You should!
If my scanner ever decides to work again I’ll send in some art work. I’ve got loads of stuff kicking around.
100- (kiwimuncher) Yep. I’m taking drawing and painting as well as life drawing next year. How about you?
101- (Zinc) Yeah, I struggle with proportion as well. I draw limbs much too streatched out and extened.
I hope that I’m going to be talking art 3 honors. That is, if it fits in my schedule. Because of our
evilwonderful governor, the school is in an uproar with a messed up budget and nobody knows what’s going on.DeviantArt recently launched a thing called “Portfolio,” which is like a more sophisticated version of DA, where people can’t comment and the focus is more on the artwork, there are no journals/favoriting/ect. Has anyone made one?
I’ve been putting a lot of what I consider my best works up on it, and I was wondering if I could share the link here? I took down my email from it and the “Artist’s Bio” section has only the stuff I’ve said here (female, 17, from Chicagoland).
There aren’t any pictures of my, though I think I did put up one of my friend JB which I submitted to a showcase. If that’s a problem I can take it down, though. It’d be a lot easier than sending work to MB, the GAPA(s) wouldn’t have to do anything, and people could just wander over to it when they wanted.
Probably not, since it would be seen as setting a precedent, regardless of how it’s set up, but send us the link by email and we’ll look it over.
I sent the link, but then I had a thought, if(“if?” Haha, “when” I suppose) I turn 18 (though I’m looking for a better site to host a page for my photography other than DA) would I be allowed to share a link to a photography site? It’s something I’m really trying to develop.
(wait… that was not a pun. I only do digital photography. Not a pun! x_x)
What was not a pun? Your pictures are really good, Jadestone! I’ve been into photography for maybe oh wow it’s two years almost! I got my camera two Halloweens ago. I mean, it came on Halloween! It was funny. My dad is also a photographer. People always tell him he should be a professional photographer, haha. I’m the “assistant photographer” alot of the time. YAYA!
No, I haven’t done that, but I do have a normal deviantart page.
Sooo…. Does anyone like medium format photography, like, with film and plastic cameras? I’ve gotta send in some pictures, medium format film rocks!
Yeah… I have a film camera. It has a lot better quality then a lot of the other digital cameras I’ve seen!
Oh yay! What kind of camera? Mine is a Holga, which is a medium format film camera made entirely out of plastic, a picture of which can be seen to the left of my name.
Mine is a Nikon. Erm… I don’t know much more about it though.
103.1.1.1- I was saying the word “develop” was not a pun in this situation, because my photo’s don’t need to be developed because they are digital.
I dislike puns >.<
What type of camera do you use?
puns are PUNishment. I drive my friends crazy with that one.
Are you asking me? I use a Holga.
My dad is always saying he wants a “PUN pal”! My dad is addicted to horrible puns/the creating of such.
Oh. If you are asking me about the type of camera it’s a Canon PowerShot S5IS. I like it, it does videos and has a whole bunch of different features. I especially like playing with depth of field and manual focus.
Woohoo! Just got my photos back from the lab! They’re awesome! Must send them in, once I figure out how to turn the scanner on…
105.2 My camera is ALL manual focus!
Yay! I have art now and we’re ding prints!
*blows whistle* Is there anyone aliveeee out there?
Heh. Titanic joke. Anyway, I was wondering if I could send in some more art? I think if I can then I’m just going to take pictures then send them in, too much work to ask my dad to scan them at his office.
This thread needs reviving!
Heyhey agrrrfish! I’m here! I saw your coment in the “recent coments box” and remembered about this thread.
We’re drawing bones in Life Drawing and it is so much fun! Skulls are really hard, though.
I like bones! You can really shade and texture them so well and they go with any background. However, I was never much good at drawing intricate faces so I doubt I’d be very skilled at drawing skulls. Are you sketching from real bones or pictures? Or just your mind?
108-Nope, you’re not the only one around, I’m here too!
Actually, I’m not sure I’ve ever posted on this thread, usually I just lurk around for a bit and wishfully think about how much more creative talent you guys all have than me. Drawing landscapes and photography are my strong suits when it comes to art, but even then I’m not extremely outstanding or anything like that, and I definitely don’t spend much time doing either of them. I would like to, I’m just way too busy most of the time. Even though this is very late, I must compliment all of the lovely creations you’ve all sent into this thread. They’re all wonderful!
Thank you very much! You should send something in. I rather enjoy landscapes and would love to see one of yours.
The other day I took a very good (in my opinion) picture of Peace* holding an onion made out of glass (yes, she does own one of these) up to her face and peering through it. It’s called “Penny Lane Looking Through a Glass Onion.” I’d post it, but I don’t think her mother would be pleased to have her daughter’s face displayed on the Internet.
Also, I’m entering a contest for school called “Posters for Peace.” I’ll send in a picture of mine when I am done.
I enjoy taking pictures, so I might send some in eventually. If I can find some that are good enough. Actually, most of my really good ones are probably on my sister’s camera. I’ve been stealing her camera anytime we went somewhere I might want to take pictures of for the past several months. But now I have my VERY OWN CAMERA so I can take pictures on it and not have her complaining about me using up all of her memory! Yay! And it takes video… *cuts off rant before it becomes too long*
Hey GAPAs, did you get my pictures yet? *puppy dog eyes*
Gaaa. I was going to send in some of my fanart, but it’s either screwy or spoilery. *headwall*
I need to start drawing my ball costume…
In honor of LCROSS…
and a certain headline…
I give you…
This!
Yay! Thank you, GAPAs! ^_^
Morbid sent these photoedits created by a site called PhotoFunia. that adds faces to your choice of scenes and special effects. (Note: We’re posting these as representative samples but only these.)
GAPAs, will you please post my picture that I sent in?
What picture?
The one I sent in with my costume. Did you get it?
Oops! Sorry, I thought I posted them at the same time.
Thanks! (I’m posting this so people will come see it.)
115)
That’s awesome!
116) Whoah…. that’s cool! I think I might want to try that!
118) Ooooooooooooooo scary! The grim reaper is amongst us!
And I don’t know if the GAPAs will allow this, but the coolest art website I have ever seen is jaksonpollockdotorg. I would definitely recommend it!
It is a cool site — even better with a digital pen — but dangerously addictive.
I am so excited to find out MB has an art thread!!! EXCITED!! I was about to rush over to the Suggestion Box in a rage.
My art teacher assigns us to make 10 works of art every quarter for homework. I am one of the rare people who actually doesn’t. Most people in my grade do NOT appreciate art enough. Probably because the art teacher talks too much. BUT…when shelooked thru my 10 works she said I should be doing more art on Wednesdays and that I made her day! *excitement*
A lot of my friends are into manga ( Lucy, Rachel A. ) and do manga art all the time – it looks so hard but they’re really into it. I usually copy random body parts from magazines and such into my sketchbook. Hands are hard. Hands are very hard. I’m trying to master faces.
Great background on that Morte one !!!
I have some okay fanart I might send in… but I’m prolly too lazy. *headwall*
Death Note fanart?
SEND IN YOUR FANART I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT!!!
*thinks to self: Must start reading DeathNote*
I sometimes use chalks as a medium…does anyone else?:
I drew a picture and scanned it in, but it;s embarassingly bad compared to everybody else’s.
I’m sure it’s fine. And they all end up looking wonderful as an ensemble.
Why can’t I see it? Was it posted? And rosebud2, no art is EVER bad!! Remember, “There is no bad art, just good framing!”
Well, I did send it in, but I guess it hasn’t been posted by the Gapas yets.
SFTDP, but I may send some more art the Gapas’ way in a couple days.
Well, I made the picture my gravatar, so you can see it very small.
Nice quadruple post!
It’s very aesthetic! Is it supposed to be anyone in particular … ?
My picture? No…
Sorry, between the holiday and signatures, I’m behind on posting artwork. Will get to it soon.
Hey, Rosebud, I like your avatar. (SFTPP)
Hello… I might post some stuff over the holidays, when my sister has brought her scanner home from college.
Lady B, did you get my email with pictures I made in Gimp?
I sent you a return email a couple of days ago. You need to save the files in a different format, so I can open them.
Yay! Revived thread!!
I got a great set of colored pencils for Christmas! *yellowmrgreen* I want to be using them right now…*makes everybody sad by logging off of MuseBlog and coloring with pencils :)*
Lady B, can you read the new file formats I sent you? They are .png files.
Yes, PNGs are fine. I’ll try to post them later today.
*waits expectantly to see Enceladus amazing-ness*
And here they are. From Enceladus:
Squee! You posted them!
*bows*
That is so cool! Great job Enceladus!
Ooohhhh ha ha ha! I love those!!! You are the pwnage at Photoshopping or whatever program you used! *envy*
Gimp. You should get it!
Those are awesome!
Whoah! I love the Koko fire!
Art homework. Read: what I should be doing.
GAPAs, did you get my picture?
*cough*
Ha! Editing pictures is fun. If anyone can see my new avatar..?
Y-you’ve been bunnified!
I’ve always liked HPBs.
I sent more pictures…
*cough* *cough*
Lady B, please post the pictures I sent in!
Sorry, but we haven’t received any pictures that I know of since the batch that’s already posted.
And by the way, a “cough, cough” doesn’t help, because in the queue, I can’t see what your comment is a reply to.
Sorry! I didn’t know. I’ll check my email again.
*comes back* As far as I can tell, I sent it. The subject line is “More (many more) Gimp pics from Enceladus” Perhaps you’re confusing it with the first one I sent?
Nope, the recent item we have is from December 27.
Ok, I sent them again. Mayhaps it went to the Spam* bin.
*Spam! Spam! Spam!
Our Inbox gets it all. Spam or not. Anyway, it worked this time. But I’m in the middle of some things right now, so I’m not sure when I’ll get them posted. Soon as I have opportunity.
I like drawing pictures of people/dragons from the story I write in my spare time.
