Egads, a floating head!
About an hours worth of staring myself down in the mirror, which is more than enough for anyone.
(graphite doesn't scan to my liking)
We shall see that at which dogs howl in the dark, and that at which cats prick up their ears after midnight.
Sooo... First post! One that will hopefully not come off too negative.
This thread doesn't give people any idea of what on Earth it is. There's beautiful artwork here but I am at a loss for why it's a sticky or what it has to do with Tim Chafer. Might be worth putting in a quick explanation on the first post? Maybe I'm just an idiot and I'm missing something obvious.
It's a doodle thread. We put things here that are not yet finished, quick things done without any specific purpose, things we put up because an artist is nothing without an audience (huh?).
The other threads are for focused critique, this one is just for sharing. Although critique is most welcome here as well, it's just that contrary to the other threads, we don't go murdering people if we don't get any.
It's just a play on words to sneek the word "doodle" in, in this case 'Brutal Legend' becomes 'Doodle Legend'. We're all basically giant nerds over here.
On an unrelated note, i'll finish this later whenever I get the time
Thanks for the responses people. Though I am now terrified given that this is a place for 'doodles' and they look like what I hope is my 'endgame' with drawing...
Gulp.
I'll just be over here, trying to shade cubes and spheres or whatever... Stupid... Starting out... Blergh... *Grumbles*

We all had to start somewhere! Some of us have been frequenting this forum for years and we're still working hard to improve. (:
For real, I started in these forums almost a decade ago, a high schooler, and was posting shit so bad I don't want to dare upload them again even as an example. But that's the wrong mindset anyways. Bad drawings are good, you need to constantly be getting them out of your system, even when someone's a "good" artist.
Cheers guys. I'm like at 'can't do a cube properly' sorta stage. =P
I used to draw non-freaking-stop in primary/highschool, but I stopped myself because everybody told me I'd be a failure if I kept doing that and not paying attention. =/ Annoyed I listened to them, even if it was true. It's what I enjoyed doing... Wasn't ever really good at it mind you, but I enjoyed it.
Still do now, but there's this level of embarrassment/anxiety about it that wasn't there before from being 'bad at drawing' for so long. Ahh well whatever. Looking over the 'tutorial' sticky to see where to start. Got no clue. Hopefully that'll help.

I've never tried painting proper, but I got asked (along with my wife) to do a piece for a charity auction at this upcoming con. I thought I'd post my progress and hers for the hell of it. It's supposed to be "apocalyptic themed"
edit: oh god the image was huge. I should have realized when I saw I was uploading the .tiff version
edit edit: nope the JPEG is still huge
edit edit edit: screw it, if I have to open PS it might as well be for something useful. Time to start a thread.

I keep forgetting to mention this
but I really like that modernisty style in your arts, Mr. Firman

Thank you all. I need to go install the swimming pool with which to store all the money that I'll be getting because I am so good.
Mine: (with concept)
Hers: (much better than mine)

God the suspense is killing me, not knowing anything about what you're about to post.

Oh yeah, forgot about that.
Welp, I guess I get to see a bigger version that the rest of you don't get to then. Haw haw.
(Though I was hoping for something more off-the-wall, Ren and Stimpy humorous than a lounge chair, given the build-up.)

and by "thinking of" I mean "already made the banner"
and kinda already set it up:

Though I'd be more excited by 'Laura (Always) Makes Comics All The Damn Time Forever dot tumblr dot com.'

I am sorry to disappoint- clearly never watching Ren and Stimpy is a weak point.
Iruka, I love that to death.
