wow this topic is still going

*looks at the greatest thread ever! *

TrekkieMage · **Tue Jan 17, 2006 6:20 pm**

Sort of. I need to post some more pics. But I think I might wait until I get a scanner, which is hopefully soon. I'm looking at buying one...

*blushes*

Thanks

Oh wow! congratulations you totally deserve it!

TrekkieMage · **Thu Jan 19, 2006 5:06 pm**

Aw, thanks

Hopefully I can get a pic of it up eventually. They're going to hang onto it for a month or so, and hopefully it won't get damaged *crosses fingers*

When I get it back I'm gonna have to do a megga round of uploading pics onto the computer. I've been doing a LOT of sketching recently

z-i-p-p-y · **Thu Jan 19, 2006 5:40 pm**

oh i can't wait! well I can.... but I don't want to!

I've been doing some clay stuff today, I've got it all up my non-exsitant nails (I've cut them because I knew we would be doing it.). Impression casting

I did my hand, and a few trekkie signs around it....

We was told to put our personalities into it.
We're doing the human form at the moment. I've got to write an essay!

And we're drawing naked people...... I've never seen naked people before! *hides*
I like people with clothes on! Material is so fun to draw!

You can't hide the proportions without material! not that i do....... *shiftey eyes*

So where are they going to hang it?

TrekkieMage · **Fri Jan 20, 2006 10:12 pm**

Oooh! Fun. I find that drawing figures is so much easier knowing what the body is like underneath the clothes, which is why I can draw women so much better than men. I know where the cloth drapes on a female body because I am female. Men, not so much. But yeah. Life drawing will be fun. Just try to focus on your art and really think about the lines and shadow. It'll turn out great.

I'd love to take a figure drawing class...

They're haning my work at the central public library. I wish I could find a picture online of my work, but they don't have it up anywhere. There's just too much art work (about 7,000 pieces were judged, maybe 500/1000 got in) to get up online for them.

Yeah, it does kind of remind me on Nightmare Before Christmas! Neat

z-i-p-p-y · **Tue Jan 31, 2006 1:13 pm**

Whats the Nightmare Before Christmas?

O.O

Well, I couldn't find a good pic, but here's a character from Corpse Bride (another film by Tim Burton, same distinct claymation)

TrekkieMage · **Fri Feb 03, 2006 4:48 pm**

I finally have more sketches uploaded! I used the scanner that they just put in the library, it was slow and loud so I only scanned a few in.

^This one is the actual size that they were scanned in. It's about 4 times larger than my original sketch O.o

I have a bunch more, but I just don't have digital copies

^ Very nice! I'd love to see it done on plain paper without the grid lines

Your shading rocks, although her eyes and ocular implant seem a little off to me. And a great pose. Not the typical shots you see of her at all

Emili · **Thu Feb 09, 2006 11:33 am**

Thank you

Your drawings are very good too. Haha yea, i remember trying to draw that implant, it really got on my nerves

z-i-p-p-y · **Fri Feb 10, 2006 3:28 pm**

Ooo i can see some simeralities with the drawings

oo your drawings are cool! I like the noses!

Wow the yellow skin looks normal on the computer!

TrekkieMage · **Fri Feb 10, 2006 9:39 pm**

Yeah, well, I got the face shape idea from the same pic

I have some more, but they just aren't up. There's a scanner at school, but it's slow and noisy (it's in the library...)

madlilnerd · **Fri Feb 17, 2006 3:54 pm**

I read the book your avatar was in... Manga Mania by Christopher Hart. T'was a very good book

.

Corpse bride rules!! We might be doing "remains of the day" at a school concert, so I might be making a corpse bride costume. YAY!!! Cosplay!!!

Our toilet is separate from our bathroom, and one day I went loopy because I was home alone all day, so I drew frogs and butterflies all over the wall.

Lovin' the dude with the tufty beard, Trekkiemage! I stink at drawing people. Gargoyles are more my thing.

TrekkieMage · **Fri Feb 17, 2006 7:09 pm**

You've actually seen that book?

I got it out of our school library...

Haven't seen corpse bride yet, but I love the way the bride looks. ^.^

And the frogs rock. Try coloring them in, they'd look really cool in a green with orange spots. Or I'm going nuts. Ooh, they'd be neat to color in digitally

Thanks for the complement. I like drawing people, they're facinating and they are all so unique that I'll always have new subjects to draw

madlilnerd · **Sun Feb 19, 2006 3:46 pm**

I bought that book when I was going through my whole "I'm 13 years old! I love avril lavinge secretly and I'm going to be a manga artist!" I'm over that now, now I draw what I feel like drawing, how I feel like drawing it.
A shop called Books Etc sells loads of graphic novels and how to draw books. It's a nerdy bookshop

I was gonna colour them in, but I think my dad might be repainting the toilet room so they could be lost forever...

I'd colour them in digitally, but we don't have a good enough graphics package. We have paint. Yes, paint. You press print screen when watching marilyn manson videos and it saves the whole video instead of the screenshot. It's very odd.

In the rainforest, there's this really cute poison frog called a Blue Jeans frog, because it has blue legs!!!

TrekkieMage · **Sun Feb 19, 2006 5:30 pm**

Yeah. I went throught the whole "I wanna draw comics!" thing. Now I just stick to occasionally reading them

Nerdy bookshops rock!

We've got a few over here. Unfortnetly I think we lost out comic shop :'(

Take pics of the frogs so that you don't loose them forever. As for paint, yeah. We've got that as well. I was actually using it the other day to color something in. It's tough, but doable (if that is a word, that's NOT how to spell it

)

And I'm glad I'm noth the only one who writes in short paragraphs and ends them all with smilies

TrekkieMage · **Tue Mar 14, 2006 6:18 pm**

I finally got a scanner! Then I finally scanned things in! Yay

Sorry these are so big. If I shrink them any more I'll start loosing some of the detail from the pencil. And yes, I draw on really yellow-y paper

<--I like the details (however sketchy they are) on this one. It'll look good touched up.

<--I'm starting to play with coloring stuff in

Sketched this from the People magazine yearbook thingie.

Captain Malcolm Reynolds

Concept piece for an art project. Wound up doing something different.

I'm going to paint this one on our senior wall at the end of this year

TrekkieMage · **Sat Apr 15, 2006 10:40 pm**

Random faerie that I forgot to post in my last string of pics. The proportions bug me a bit on the face:

I have some more stuff, I just need to get it scanned and such...

Hi Trekkiemage,

This is excellent work you're doing. I would love to see some more of your art... please keep them coming.

Someone I know is having a whole staircase designed around the type of drawings you've done, along with the wood, and whatever else she can think of that would suit the theme.
