I thought  I'd start fresh
and okay it's like...4 months, nearly 5 months into 2008 and I'm only just starting this XD but I do have some arts I'd like to post
and I would really appreciate some feedback, especially on how I could improve my pictures tone wise since my art teacher is forever moaning on at me about tone D:
Anyway, lets begin!

First off this was my 1st idea for the LTS con which I decided to draw out anyway...I think I like it more plot wise but I decided not to enter it in the end and stick with my first design...whether this was a mistake, I'm not sure...but most of my friends felt the first picture was better..*shrugs* but here is it anyway...

To be honest I havnt drawn much so far this year but I hope by starting this topic it will remind me to scan more stuff in!
or at least get photos of the art I am currently working on for school which was dragons and now is angels Been fun stuff, even if it was stressful! x_x

Ah well....enjoy!

I do like this picture. It has a lot of 'youth' detailed into it A very Bart kinda picture!

I'll stand by my desicion that your Lisa picture was the better picture to enter for the LisaCon, as it looked more profesional and elegant. Whether the others agree, would be interesting to find out.

I do like how you've used pencil colours to bring this picture to life, I think Bart would be happy with it.

My vote would have probably been 6/10. Both 6/10 for Technical and Story.

CCD - fire and death is my speciality! Mwhahaha! ...^_^; but thanks

Casper - Thanks Mat, and well, in my mind, I couldn't think of anything Bart would want more in a picture other than him having sweet revenge on the place he loathes so much, like the rest of us

Empethree - Thanks and yeah the Lisa pic Mat's on about is my LTScon entry

Thanks all!

Hehe don't worry about it Empethree, take your time

Just an update, I have about a week or so till my art exam so, will probably update this with photos of my A2 work once it's all done If not, will be after the end of year art show ^_^

Ignored commenting on this one cos it's hard to say much about it. Oh well, let's have a go at it.

Now that's a picture straight out of Bart's daydreams. ^^ Spot on.

It's fun to watch, feels pretty detailed and all that. The coloring makes the picture a bit warm, and all the chaos going on around it makes it flaming hot. Very cute. :d

I'm gonna go with Casper, despite being a good picture, I still like the one you entered for LisaCon better, at least storywise. This isn't a bad idea, but... uh forget it, not gonna be able to justify saying that your other picture was better storywise, I just like it better.

El Barto - It's quite alright, don't worry about having to do long in depth comments Just glad you liked my art  ^_^, Thanks!




Kasper - don't mind that you like my Lisa pic better but not quite sure why you do after your comment O_o, but don't worry if you can't explain it,..guess Lisa is just more appealing here Thanks though




Serge - hehe I don't mind you doing that at all Thanks very much *feels honored* ^_^

About the only think which bothers me with this picture is the fact it's coloured with colouring pencils. They so rarely give the best final result (though you've managed to do an impressive job with them on the fire reflections and the green eye, so maybe I should just shut my mouth...).

I *love* the idea and the expressions and the little details like the shooting and skinner dieing though.

Kasper - Hehe you shouldn't worry about all this , thanks overall though glad you like my art in the first place X)

DB -Aw, I tend to use colouring pencils often though , they're quick, easy and generally great to use imo but then again it's one of the tools I've had most practise in throughout my life so far Anyway, thank you , I appreciate you picked up on some of the details I included Thanks again! ^_^

SimpReal - Yey! Colouring Pencil Fans, UNITE! Besides, Killing robots and machines/creatures can easily defeat Lisa any day *is hunted down by Lisa fans* D: ahhh! , I shall make up to you guys, I swear!...*Lisa fans put down their weapons* ...*Ahem*, anyway, overall I was pleased with both my entries which was why I had such difficulty in deciding which one to use.  Thanks for the reassurance though Marco and all of you really ^_^







Anyway, time for something new I guess
as I said been working on a lot of school art recently, and well, exams are here now, it's 15 hours (5 hours a day) and today was my first day...it's not finished, and unfortunately I don't have a brilliant picture of it, but here is my final piece for my exam so far
As I said, angel themed Although it's not featured, an awful lot of prep went into this which, once after all is marked and put up for show, I shall upload here ^_^

Oh and reason it's wonky is its very wide, on a big role of watercolour paper, and I couldn't fit everything in >_<

Ah well, I shall upload a picture tomorrow, and Friday (final day) to show my development of this too Hopefully should be in a better quality too....well..hope y'all enjoy for now

Don't care much for this kind of art (awesome way to open a review! ^^), seems great so far though. That is to say it looks like kind of a generic one-of-those paintings. Which is probably good for whatever my thought's worth, if I can't tell what makes other great artists paintings better than yours, maybe you're doing something right... but them geeky art professors will go on about the aesthetics, something I can't say a word about, because I don't see much of it in any of these... things. =d You're totally offended by this right now!

On a lighter note, I could go for some of that funky cubism!

You're a shoe-in in any case, you'll win this contest pass the exams for sure. (= Or you won't. Guess that's what the fuss is about. Stop reading my comments.

I think it's pretty awsome so far. You should do "fine art" more often. 

Ahh, much warmer tone to it than yesterday. Definitely an improvement!

Keep that stuff up and don't drop a bucket of paint tomorrow.

Wow, Rachel, it's so impressive... I've never seen so many wings on a single pic.
LISA: Daaag! Stop ruining it!
Sorry It's really good. And the colors are so vibrant and bright... I like it! Explains the "fine art" term for me

**Me makes an expletive remark in awe**

Oh my god!....... That is just completely and utterly awesome. Almost left me speechless...... ok gotta find some words lol

You have an AWESOME talent. I have seen the stuff you have posted on here before and I have been impressed but now this is a totally different league..... what a stunningly beautiful piece. The colours look fantastic, and I bet the camera does not do that justice.

The size of the picture is impressive too. I remember my Art work was big but never that big.... sadly all the stuff I did for my when I was at school was destroyed in fire. Luckily I walked away with an A lol. Shame I cant post my stuff. This totally rips apart the stuff I did to get an A..... 

One question.... was it intended to have legs attached to the bottom

the last version of your picture allows the viewer to discover the symbolism of the image ... , It would be nice to have a full size version of the same ...

congratulations ...I really envy your skill to the art  .... The skills to paint with a brush are different from those of the drawing with the computer ...

Thanks by sharing

I'm alive, I'm still aliiiivve!!! ^_^;


Okay I have been busy though, with exams/revision and such so, have not been able to scan for AGES..however, tbh anything I've done offline has been pretty crappy anyway
However, over the past month or so, I've been practicing with digital painting with my friend and one of the student art teachers Let's just call him Mr.K Anyway, been having help with him and photoshop,tablet stuff and have attempted to overcome "painting" digitaly, sooo no lineart involved as such like I usually do! !! So, this was a challenge, but I feel I've done well. Just used a simple sketch of Bastet though....

Unfortunately, never got to finish it, and the latest version/s he's got since he accidently cut and paste them from my laptop rather than copy! >_< So, for now I'm just gonna post an example from before this Tuesday when I had only just started blending everything together ^_^
I know it's not brilliant but it shall do for now This is mostly just to prove I HAVE been drawing and working

Sooo heres version 6/8 of my first "digital painting" as such, Bastet

Hello Rachel!

is a pic with a good performance in terms of technical and creativity  ... I think that the contour's lines need some adjustments ... However the result is extremely pleasing to the eyes, the color gamma is warm (shades of yellow in the background and in the character) ... ... thanks by post your art
