Truth and Beauty Bombs

Too clever for parrot threads? Bored of posting pictures of yourself? Do some artwork and share it!

It's easy. Check it out:


Your turn.

okay!

Yes! Like the corrosion on the pipes. Not sure what the guy's sitting on. Is it coal?

It was an oversized gear of some sort. I realize that part is not terribly well drawn (also means the guy's spine shouldn't seem so straight/stiff... woops!)

All the hard work in the factory with corrosive pipes made his spine stiff. Common problem in coal mining villages in the East Midlands, England, Europe during the early 20th century.

Hehe, exactly!

Anytime I need my art justified from now on, I'm coming to you.

Hm. Maybe that'll be a nice twist for this thread:

djr justifies your artwork

I made these for my sister, and she seems to like them.

That's quite nice. You know, there are competitions for designing shoes.

yep i like those shoes
A+ shoes

clickit

PS that picture is pretty cool but the .gif is way cooler.

The moon thing looks somehow... hm, insulting. Nice.

hope your sis actually cracks some nuts w/ that one

You can see all my work here:

I'm really proud of how it came out, for some reason.

Probably because I haven't painted or really tried to draw anything in several years.

I think i am getting better maybe?

nice work, cd!!!

That's a nice self portrait there, Dr. Mr. Vandertramps. Your first picture confuses me a little, though, as it just uses black outline for the eyes, nose and mouth, and I'm not sure why it isn't used elsewhere or why you used it at all. Makes the whole thing a little inconsistent. Also the ear is missing detail! You cannot NOT draw the ear details! It's the funnest thing in the whole drawing process (or maybe I just have a weird fetish).
Otherwise it's good!

crazydiamond: Holy Moses. You know, you'd think that picture is quite dreamy with all that snowflake sparkle and ethereal blue colouring, but then you realise the horse/pony itself is still dreamingly looking upwards into the yonder, imaging a world even MORE fantastic than the one we're looking into right now. And you'd think big blue-eyed, snowflake-tattoo'ed Pegasus would be content riding through the sparkling heavens, but no, it still wants more, in turn making it as human as the observer trying to reach for the impossible, always dreaming about what lies beyond.

brent: The animation's great. There's so much going on in the picture itself, it's kind of hard to find an access-point to it, especially if you think of it as an animation primarily, which means I didn't check the details until after looking at it for a third time, because I was just thinking: Yeah! Animate, animate, animate. (in a real sleazy voice)

my pictures tend to be a lil uh... dense and to radiate out from a centre point i guess

((((I DIDNT DRAW THE BIRD I CUT + PASTED IT))))

whoa whoa whoa hi you guys are prolific. DJR, i really don't know how you manage to work on project after project. p. admirable.

While you're here you need to post some of your artwork! TaBB isn't the same without it, yellowbus!

brent i do a lot of b&w drawings like those, but it's a bit more nonsense since i can't really draw

i don't have any pictures of them though

i kinda want to show some drawings but apparently you guys have it covered yours are pretty

Bullshit! Come on, upload them.

Do it. Or Dennis will break your kneecaps.
