Hay fellas. S'me again. It's been a while. :winky:


Some stuff from tons of quarters ago in Digital paint (links, I know, sorry.):

Stupid apple and oranges.

Me in Mr. Lautrec's style with my drunk old lady face.
The spell check just caught his name and one of the options was "putrescence." Hahaha.

Here's Gustav Klimt's style.

Here's Mr. Pooky.

We had to do 3 trading cards of whatever, so my boyfriend suggested "Superheroes spies with the code names of ice cream!" which I thought would be fun and strange. These are all kind of speed-paints, haha.
Rocky Road
1cardrockybk4.jpg
Rainbow Sherbet (not technically ice cream but shaddap)
1cardsherbce5.jpg
Neapolitan (they went all rogue and now they're bad guys)
1cardneoun8.jpg
There was another one but I can't find it, haha.
I resized the cards 'cause they're ungodly huge.

I don't think you're happy enough! That's right! I'll teach you to be happy! I'll teach your grandmother to suck eggs! Now, boys and girls, let's try it again!

    Most of these seem unfinished. The sketch nature of each could be called "style" i guess, but it seems more like they were rushed and should be classified as sketches. I don't see any finished pieces, except for the hands and maybe the fruit still life.

    On your piece based off of Gustav Klimt's style, the edges are very obviously undefined, leaving it looking blurry. This is most notable on the figure.

    The baby portrait is nice...just unfinished...again you have the same problem in defining your edges.

    Work on refining your paintings...you're 99% of the way there!

    Yeah. I was actually gonna comment with my next post on how I need more finished stuff! Haha. (By the way the baby portrait is supposed to be blurry in the back; it was from a photograph. I couldn't get my colors inside to blend at all without it looking nasty.) But I definitely agree, I need more finished stuff.

    The sketch is nice but her nose is very masculine. A womens nose is narrower is'nt it? Her cheeks look very sunken also, like she threw up to many meals behind close doors. There is also no real definition where her chin meets her neck, it makes her look double chinned. Also her cheek bones on the outside look weird and not defined.

    Sorry this seems kind crude, just crit it for ya on what I see

    I'm not an artist but I have to call you on some of your "critique"
    saying the nose is masculine isn't really a critique of her technique unless you know she wasn't going for a strong nose, because I certainly know women that do have large noses so you're making a faulty assumption that she didn't want the nose that size and the same applies to the cheeks
    that may well have been her intent to make her look more gaunt like that

    Wow Loanar...you obviously have no idea what you're talking about...

    That's a nice sketch jessi, try varying your cross hatching lines. Do one long solid line and then hit it at another angle.

    Just play with it i guess is what i'm trying to say.

    oh man

    my favorites are the neopolitan guys and the Gustav Klimt spin

    i totally want prints!

    prints i tell you

    i also really like your cartoon style... it reminds me of the way older looney tunes used to look. back when looney tunes artists were awesome (original marvin the martian... barber of seville... etc). I'd say more, but I dont dare critique because these are way out of my league...

    p.s. I agree with Tam, you are definitely worth it :D

    Thanks so much! I'm going to school at the Art Institute of Dallas and I'm getting a BA in Media Arts and Animation. I don't really know what I'm going to do. I would like to do traditional animation, but that's dying faster and faster. Probably wind up majoring in Character Animation. I'll take whatever I can get though, LOL.

    Thanks! I'm not a follower or anything actually, but Ren and Stimpy was my all time favorite show as a larvae. I bet I somehow ingrained a lot of drawing and animation principles from him! Along with other things.

    I am totally gonna go check out his blog now!

    That bear on a unicycle one is fantastic!

    I have a few issues with the others though...but i'm not in any way animation inclined personally.

    The bouncing cat seems sort of strange in the last action, she's bouncing all over the place and gradually slowing down and the bounces are getting smaller and for the last bounce she flies all the way up to the ceiling, seems sort of off to me.

    And the harpies are cool looking but they are so static it really kills it.

    Thanks! The bear's gestures are from when I learned to ride a unicycle, actually. I could feel what he was doing when I was drawing it. I find that animation is much better if you start out with a character or idea because the timing comes more naturally. If you're not having fun, neither is the viewer-I think.

    Crits appreciated!
    I agree with you on the harpy one especially. It is stiff mostly because of the way we had to construct it. The walk loop had to have each part of the body on a seperate layer, then we had to make it travel across the screen motion tweens. Bleh.
    I always wanted to do a short with them in it; I find the Sabre Dance song to be most fitting.
