Share your artwork v. BL's got talent

Up all night and nothing better to do; I made this via Photoshop at around 5am a couple years ago

^^ Oooh pretty!! I would love to know how to use photoshop like that...
One day when I have enough spare time to dedicate to it, I'll just sit and play around on it for a few hours.
 
This is an awesome thread. Here's some artwork I've done over the years.

Well done swerlz, I think it's pretty good! I've never even touched photoshop, so I wouldn't know the first thing to do with it. Yours looks pretty seemless, though, It looks pretty legit!

Tina... I looked at yours from right to left and the progression in that order was weird, but way cool. The first one eased me into the second one and the third one gave me a really uneasy feeling. It's really good, made me feel creeped for a second cause it has a really dark tone to it. Good stuff!

Thank you, I consider your evaluation quite a compliment because I consider one of the main purposes of art is to evoke an emotional response in the viewer, even if that is a response of unease. Also I am always flattered when the word "weird" is used in any fashion regarding my drawings. I didn't consider the order in which I posted them, but I see your point, and I like it :)
 
It's worth mentioning that the camera flash washed out a lot of detail in this painting in addition to it being unfinished. With that being said, it's acrylic and on a 16" x 20" canvas, and it should be done by Christmas. It will end up being someone's Christmas present, probably my dad's since he is such a fan of my work :P His friends have even been buying paintings and commissioning me for work on jewelry as well as paintings so it's a nice way to advertise and please the folks, all while saving money on having to buy a Christmas present... ha.

Being an artist and making Christmas gifts without spending big bucks FTW. If it weren't for my jewelry and paintings, I dunno what I'd do present wise. While it costs a lot to buy paints and such (especially oils, and especially fine jewelry) I always end up making a profit once things are said and done, AND I get to churn out gift items for either a low price or free. It's a good deal.

Once again, there are too many talented BLers to name!
 
Oh yeah, the painting is a view of trees during fall and it's to be looked at as if you were standing directly underneath them. They're too narrow for my tastes considering this fact so I'm thinking of covering the top part with sky to make it look more realistic and less confusing.
 
Thank you! The more I look at it, the more it looks like it was just Photoshopped or something haha. It started out as pointillism and then sort of morphed into a bunch of giant, almost digital-looking brush strokes instead (I got lazy).
 
Nice work.

I edited the tags because I think they deserve to be seen as larger images. Previews don't do them justice. :)
 
haha, here's some more random shit i've drawn.

in concur. on one hand it's very abstract, but you immediately recognise, that you're standing under trees and it's autumn :)
 
thanks

Regarding the inferno effect:
I left it sitting in a pile of other fucked up ones festering in a mix of chemicals and drain water.
I looked at it about an hour later and the bitch was on fire!!
Not exactly sure how it happened, but I like it.
notice someone spraypainted "DICK FUCKER" on the front of the place.:D

Yep! My deviantART username is Vacuolate Tuna, watch my profile and I'll watch you back!

I also just made a new site for my portfolio/store/art blog if any of you are interested: Alizey Khan Fine Art Online

I'm just a student right now... but I really, really want to make a living as a painter. I went to the MoMA today and saw so much crap amidst the glorious work, haha, I'm sure I could make it if I keep working as hard as I have this year... The style I'm planning to develop is more like that Lighthouse painting, but I want to incorporate surrealism and grotesque elements into my work, since pointillism creates such a soft, dreamlike effect.


User Name Here is one of my really good friends- we're painting buddies, she really motivates me! I'm sure I do the same for her... her latest painting of the trees is just gorgeous.

This is awesome... it actually looks to me like the earth millions of years ago before the continents seperated into where they are now.

keep up the good work.
