Title: Availability/Skill level of artists
Post by: MRide on November 09, 2010, 09:24:49 pm
Before I put out a ridiculous request, I wanted to know the skill level of the artists here in drawing sketches and stuff.
So, like, for example, drawing a realistic-looking person.
If something like this is reasonable, I'll post my request here, otherwise, this topic can be deleted.

I swear someone posted a portrait of someone he drew a while ago, but I forgot who it was and if he's still around anymore.

Well do you mean pixel drawing or like a legit drawing on paper or what?

Edit:
DJ, I think you're talking about Shmibs, but I can't remember correctly.

Well, my request would be for something I could use online (as an avatar, actually), but I would want it to fairly detailed looking (so maybe a drawing on paper, then scan it?).

Have you checked out DeviantArt yet? They might have something you want or like.

I searched on google images, and it didn't really have what I'm looking for.  Do DeviantArt images show up on google?

EDIT: ooh, 5/6 >:D. :P

Some might but I doubt it. You'd have to search DeviantArt Directly. What is it you're looking for?

Are you referring to this?

i love drawing portraits. i lack any sort of imagination, however, and so would need a reference.
oh, and dj: i dont believe i've ever posted anything i've drawn here before. here's an example of an old one\/

Ya, that was my bad. It was Happybobjr I was thinking of, not you, Shmibs. Sorry.

Ah yeah it was happybobjr. Btw both looks awesome :D

just wondering if you decided to take this elsewhere, mride (and if there are any really awesome sketchORZ in the community)

Well, after several variations of my search on deviantART, I didn't really find what I was looking for.  I'll put this out there and see what you all come up with.
So, this (http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=Fang#/d1r3fi9) is the closest I came, so I'll use that as a base.  The human part is good, but maybe show the rest of the legs.  As for the wings, I would prefer bat/dragon wings.  I'll see if I can find a good example.
So, I would like this to be my avatar, so it needs to fit reasonably in that space.  I don't care if it's pencil or full color.
The character should be completely visible (no background and and limbs in drawing), and facing forwards, or a little turned to the right or left.
If anyone wants an extra challenge, try drawing a jacket on the figure.
If this is too hard, I apologize.  This doesn't need to be perfect or prize-winning amazing.

Not sure if this is really what you're looking for but oh well :P It didn't really turn out quite the way I wanted but I'll post it here anyways

Sorry I haven't got around here yet.  As you can see, my avatar has changed. (Thanks again, squidget)
I tried darkening it up a little, and wanted to know what you all thought.  Here's the original:

It really doesn't look that different, but I think it makes it looks clearer.

EDIT: I changed my avatar

Thanks everyone :)

@Graphmastur:

I used to really badly, and I actually have a few plotlines/drafts, etc. I might try it later on as a side thing (definitely going to take art classes in college). It's a split between that and some type of comp sci thing XD 
I don't have a deviantart, but I will probably get one soon.
