Post your artwork.

[gar732]

There was a thread a while back where a few people had said they could draw, I'd be interested in seeing everyone's artwork. Don't be shy, show off your skills.
Here are a few that I put together for a contest.

Wow those are awesome Trump! What media is the first in?

I started to do a portrait of my daughter in pencils about 12 years ago but never got around to finishing it, lol. The ones I posted where the first ones I've done since then. I used to draw all kinds of stuff when I was younger, I wish I'd kept up with it.

I don't do much drawing anymore, not since high school when I had time (LOL), but here's some robots I made:

And here's some pieces I made for a chess set I'm working on:

Sorry about the bad lighting, I live in a log house and light doesn't scatter too well off of rough timber rafter ceilings. :)

Good stuff guys!

@Muppet - What are those made out of? Are they made of something like Sculpey or are they carved out of something? Hard to tell from the pics

[muppet]

They're made from Sculpey, which I use because it's local and cheap. If I was really going to get into it, I'd do some research and hopefully find a better brand. I just don't like the heft of the finished pieces but that is probably a property of baking clays (rather than kiln fired types). I'm nowhere near an expert.

The little black snake "demon" things are heavily lacquered to give them the sheen. When you make teeth out of translucent clay and then lacquer them, the effect is sort of eerily lifelike. :)

[swannyson7]

They came out great, have you made any other pieces yet? I'd love to see some pics if you have!

[muppet]

Thanks! The pics above are of most of the best ones. I do it when I have a spare hour or so, which is rare. I have more but they're not as good.

I want to make a light side/dark side chess set, which is what the "death" figure and the two 'guards' are for. He looked way cooler before I painted him, so I may try making another one and leaving it all or mostly black.

I really want to learn to make end-grain "cutting board" or "butcher board" type blocks, because then I could make my own board to go with the pieces. I've never been good with wood.

[muppet]

Seriously though, swanny, thanks for the thumbs up. Your photography is unbelievably incredible, so a compliment from you carries weight. :)

[gar732]

Where's your stuff Scott?

Muppet, those are great. I have a chess board I'm working on that pieces like those would look great on.

[Trump]

The first drawing is all pencil the second is charcoal he really like the Charcoal stuff alot. His main form is ink now on people lol. He has worked on his skills alot but even as a kid he could draw the one thing I have always had trouble with and that s eyes. Thats one of the big things too we have actually drawn stuff together as I sketch and he draws lines. Ill have to see if I can find one of his better artistic tats and post it.

[muppet]

gar, maybe we'll go into business together. Heh. Unfortunately it'll probably take me a month to crank out a single set of 32 pieces. :-)
