Share your artwork!!

i hear you Bauer, but i can't imagine the iPad would be an appropriate platform for photoshop (or illustrator, or LOL flash). not enough power or flexibility in my opinion.

i can't wait for an affordable tablet pc ><

lostpixels keep up the awesome work!!


so i got bored and decided to mess around with an old piece of garbage i once created in 06'.
the only thing new would be the colors on there..
Im starting to aim for slightly psychedelic feels to my creations these days, hopefully come up with some more work that can be used as decor at psytrance-parties/doofs.
cant wait to get some more recent doodles up on here for you guys.

lol.. i originally created this when i was 15 back in 06'.
its cool to look back and sum up how you have progressed over the years.

 

[undead]

^ Very cool! I dig the blue outline a lot.

BTW, I agree, it's cool to see the progressions. I have MANY unfinished pieces from years ago that I'll sometimes start in on. It's cool because all the techniques and styles you've learned, applied, and forgotten over the years... appear in your work. I find, though, that sometimes if I'm lacking a creative spark, that's when it's time to break out an old unfinished piece because there were things that I was doing years ago that still to this day make me go "hmmm... that's pretty fresh." I don't know if I'm lacking the creative drive now or what, but artistically, my older shit is way sweeter. I'll have to work on that. :D

I'd like to get some more stuff in this thread to contribute to a thriving beast that you, [eK], and many others are constantly breathing life into.

I am no artist, but I try at least. .

lol i agree man, i really do.
if im lacking that so called creative spark, and decide to whip out an old unfinished piece (i have so many), i generally look at the substrate and think, cool, that spark has now been replaced with a guide or 'preset' image, i suppose (the old unfinished work), so instead of having a blank sheet infront of me and cobwebs forming in my brain, i now have some cool old incomplete doodles to work with, its then so much easier to expand and broaden the artwork, as well as speed up the generation of ideas and ~sparks~ in my brain.
and because our skills are always progressing, we have the choice to alter the original image if needed and turn something old and pretty cool looking, into something new and fucking awesome.
its pretty enjoyable.
but i still mostly like creating work from scratch

get some more work up ryan. im pretty sure your pictures burn mine lol.
meh

 

[undead]

Bang on, brah!

But naw, I think we've both got skills in different areas. I feel like I have a good ability to draw a free flowing, stream of consciousness type of abstract googily gobbily, but you have a better sense of the big picture. It's hard for me to draw an image that I have in my head. I can draw stuff from other images, like portraits and things, but I can't set out to draw something and put that final image on paper very confidently. Then again, I think being a good artist is a lot about stretching your abilities and being a great artist is about expanding on that by learning to work outside of your comfort zone.

deadhead... for not being an artist... that's a great foundation. What makes you say you're not an artist anyways? If you create art, you're an artist, plain and simple. If you enjoy doing it, keep working at it, you'll be amazed at the things you'll learn simply by drawing and drawing and drawing and drawing. Just let it be fun, find your style, and always be open to new techniques. I guarantee you'll blow shit up.

 

[[eK]]

get a few pictures up dude!
you need to refresh my memory.. im picturing some images/styles in my head of which im sure are similar to you're kind of art.. Im hardly online anymore these days, so ive kind of gone outta loop and forgotten a lot of bluelight artists' pieces&styles of work, which have been posted on here in the past.
pretty sure i vaguely remember what style you're into though.
im heaps good with drawing heaps ugly, fucked up looking characters, but there's really only so much of that i can do without getting 'over it'.
i can draw other stuff too, like flowers and a few cheesy things like that.. but my goal is to eventually warp my style and try for some cool abstract images or nice flowy patterns and stuff like that..
perhaps, you should give eK a little bit of inspiration

i done this doodle a fair while ago, and think it looks pretty cool for something so simple.
i need to work on expanding that psychedelic type of look, throw in some random shapes and shit.

ill show you another really old one of mine..
forget the elephants head, just focus on the flowery background.
its almost like a symmetrical thing ive going on, im thinking i could start concentrating on more patterns like that.. meh.

 

[undead]

Both of those are really cool actually. The first one gives me that melting effect and the second one, I almost didn't even notice that until I read what you said. It's pretty intricate. I'm sure it'd be time consuming, but well worth the final product piece by piece let alone the types of things you could fuse it into.

I don't have anything recent uploaded. So everything has probably already been posted, but for a refresher and maybe because it will get me going again!

This is most of the pieces that I grew really fond of while in the process of creating them.

NSFW:

This one got ruined by rain before I ever got a chance to scan it when it was done.

[Jblazingphoenix100]

Ryaaaaaan I've missed your shit in here mang!!

EK I like that one in your notepad - wiggles at me, and jumps out and stuff
Will hook you up with that "dots tattoo artist" - completely slipped my mind, but will do it (think it could be Xed Le Head)

 

[undead]

Agreed with the above! Caroline, your piece is pretty emotive. Definitely something I'd hang up on my wall (that's my passing grade ). diche, those first two pics in the second post of yours have a real eerie 70's rug feel to them. I would put them on my floor (that's also my passing grade ). I think the others are really well done, but I'm specifically feelin those two.

And thanks neo and jblazin! I was thinkin earlier, that I need to get drawing more. I have many motives, :D, but I'm just in dire need of getting the creative spark to ignite. I ended up drawing something tonight that I'm feelin at the moment, I'll scan it when I get a chance in the morning/afternoon. :D

 

[Jblazingphoenix100]

^ I feel ya pain buddy, totally in that space right now too - it's great when you get something down after a few weeks of having done squat though isn't it - looking at it on the page just proves it's still there really good shit dude.

 

[[eK]]

ahh ryan, i forgot how talented you are.
i haven't seen a fair few of them before, but phwooooar they are all really good.

Will hook you up with that "dots tattoo artist" - completely slipped my mind, but will do it (think it could be Xed Le Head)

oh cool i just done a bit of google research on him, checked out his picture gallery and stuff.
this guy does amazing tattoos!!
love it. thanks for that might give me a few new ideas to play around with.

 

[Jblazingphoenix100]

Something I threw together for a friend.

We were in bed going to sleep last halloween, and I asked her what animal would she be - she said a "snow tiger...with Pegasus wings".

So here she is. Might do it again sometime -like a big one. This was soooo quick.

EDIT: BOLLOCKS! The picture really doesn't do it justice - it has a lot more purple in the background ether

Post Your Art

I wanna see everyone's paintings, photographs, jewelry, etc. What kind of art do you make? Do you sell it or is it just for fun? Etc.

I love looking at other peoples' work. GO.

P.S.: I did a search and didn't see anything like this that has been done recently so if it has been done before, my bad.
