Title: And (Yet more) paintings
Post by: darkphantomime on March 18, 2007, 11:27:07 AM
For all intents and purposes, all those old topics with my paintings are DEAD and no one wants to see them revived and have people try to read all that junk. Therefore, I see it fitting to make a new topic (yet again) with NEW artworks of mine.

Our first runner is an acrylic painting.

In case the light in the center (Stupid flash) is getting in your way, here's the same painting from a different angle.

Now this is a weird sketch that I made with pen one day, it actually creates a distinct perspective about it.

And last, but not least, a recent pencil project... with SHADING! ahem... Now that I reflect on it, I should've worked on it a bit more...

That one's pretty trippy, ain't it? Makes me feel dizzy just looking at it.

Page stretching, I'll fix it.

maybe I should have added that

[size=35]IT WAS NOT STRETCHING THE PAGE! And some people have photobucket BLOCKED![/size]

So, NO LINKING!

Actually, the links to the LOZ - OOS walkthroughs were covered by it. Same with several other links that are on the right side of the screen.

Since there are some people that are unable to view photobucket because it's blocked, I'm going to put the image tags back up. The page is stretched, if at all, only like a MILLIMETER.

Well, I checked the paintings in school....and I liked the first one, I must say. Very vibrant coloring.

I likes the last one, with the pencil. Vair nice.

Do you do these for school?

I did all of these for school, though the pen sketch was just something random I decided to do when I was bored.

The last one looks trippy, doesn't it? because it really fools with your sense of perspective in many ways.

I have another acrylic painting, it was an experiment before I made that painting up there, so it's also like a star exploding... I'll post it as soon as I can get the stupid camera to take a proper pic of it.

Actually it was stretching it a tad bit. But that's beside the point. Nice pictures! Are you taking any art classes?

I've been taking Art throughout my high school career. I'm now in Art IV, meaning this is my fourth year doing High school art, there's a lot more creativity.

I did ykae art, in 7th grade and 6th grade. I remember when we needed to use clay, that was really fun. And I was good at it, too.

Yeah I think I know what you mean. It reminds me a bit of surrealism, Salvador Dali and the like. But different, you have a very individual style.
I am in my third year of art and I am doing it for the next two years for GCSE. I love it so much, especially the freedom aspect.

I like how the first one pulls my eye around the perimeter, and then waaay into the center. It's almost like I start to look INto the picture, past the paint on the canvas.
I also really like the second one. The thing near the lower center looks like a figure to me, even if it isn't.

Not really a sunset, more of a supernova. It was done from a photo in March 2007 National Geographic.

A supernova, eh? If you're looking for artistic inspiration via space, IM me, I got tons of LInks for stuff like that... astronomy is my biggest interest.
