Drawings and shit.

Derelict · 09-19-2007, 7:51 PM

This is my thread for posting shit I've made for stuff. Drawings, stuff I've written, etc.

I'll update it every once in a while, seeing as I hate when people make new threads for single pieces of art. Whatever, though.

Here's a bunch of shit I've done:

Sketches
My sister at grad
Self-portrait
Defero 1
Defero 2

Drawings
Superman
Batman
Batman (with wings!!)
Random cartoon in progress
Random cartoon completed

Animations
Butterfly
Superhero
Drawing a head
A dude getting crushed

Photos
Clouds
Beach
Fog
Lake
Fire
Meadow
Lamp post
Dock

Poems
(I'm not a poet, I just like to write stuff, so don't hesitate to give me some pointers.)

Comments, critique, calling me gay, etc.

You could be a good tattoo artist maybe. The Defero ones were nice though, brought some nice memories back.

letteratlantic · 09-19-2007, 7:55 PM

I love the Batman one. It is probably because I love batman. But the second one of Defero looks like Keanu Reeves to me.

Relaps · 09-19-2007, 7:55 PM

Cameras suck for drawings.

But from what I could see, some srs cool shit there.

Derelict · 09-19-2007, 7:56 PM

Tattoo artist, that's something I've definitely never thought of before. I do have a pretty steady hand so I suppose I shouldn't rule it out.
And yeah, I paused before posting the Defero ones, God rest his soul.
Thanks, man.

Yeah, Relaps, I only took the photos for those because my scanner's been broken for the past few months and I only recently got it fixed. I didn't want to use a camera, but it was necessary.

Thanks for the comments, guys! ({)

DieHard · 09-19-2007, 7:58 PM

Wow Derelict, I am very impressed by your work.

Lag · 09-19-2007, 7:59 PM

I see the drawings but where's the shit?

Really nice pencil work.

Thanks, guys. I appreciate it.

Killer Carebear · 09-19-2007, 8:01 PM

You're really good at making people look real. Nothing looked disproportional or awkward.
Also, ur ghey, etc.

And nine comments in 10 minutes.. WHOA.

Err, 8. I'm special.

Veeduck · 09-19-2007, 8:03 PM

Very nice. Though I think you need to work on the shading, particularly in your more realistic works, like the one of your sister. There isn't nearly enough value and so the picture looks flat and lifeless.

You do draw features really well though, and I love the superheroes. Awesome.

Derelict · 09-19-2007, 8:05 PM

I've never been really good at shading, I need to work on that. Thanks, man.

Well, two of them are me...

Killer Carebear · 09-19-2007, 8:08 PM

I'm an idiot either way.

Veeduck · 09-19-2007, 8:08 PM

You could try the chiaroscuro style shading. Really dark shadows and really white highlights, with some midtones - it's what they tend to teach art students here first, before teaching them subtler shading styles.

Shmuh · 09-19-2007, 8:09 PM

When I die, will you draw pictures of me? :)

Also, awesome drawings. I agree with being a tattoo artist.

Raxo · 09-19-2007, 8:11 PM

The first dude was my favorite, seems like he could be part of a comic or something.

flodprfekshun · 09-19-2007, 8:21 PM

Other than the shading like Vee mentioned they seem great to me. I don't know what you find difficult about shading, but if you use darker and lighter pencils it's a lot easier than just one.

Derelict · 09-19-2007, 8:27 PM

I do all of my drawing with whatever pencil I can find. I've actually tried using different ones.

flodprfekshun · 09-19-2007, 8:28 PM

Well what do you find hard about the shading then? (just interested in helping btw)

Matterialize · 09-19-2007, 10:05 PM

And you told me you couldn't draw, you jackass.

Lynley · 09-20-2007, 7:11 AM

Thanks for sharing these with us. I like them.

Also, I haven't been able to bring myself to delete any messages I got from Defero :\ I had just really started talking to him when he died.

I never seem to be able to do it right. I guess I just have a terrible eye for shadows.

Not to your caliber, anyway.

Seriously.

Yeah, it's been tough. He's a great guy.

Thanks again, everyone. I really appreciate all the input! (L)

Assassin · 09-20-2007, 11:42 AM

The Batman guy is so awesome. The rest is pretty good aswell

Derelict · 09-20-2007, 11:45 AM

If I can find the drawings of Batman, Superman, Defero, and my sister I'll scan those and replace the links. Just so you guys can get a better view of them. They're pretty blurry right now.

inpachi3 · 09-20-2007, 12:32 PM

I AM A NERD. NOONE CARES WHAT I HAVE TO SAY ANYMORE.

Look at the shadows as seperate shapes, if you don't already. If you lightly outline them, like the really dark areas, the medium tones, and the lighter shades, then fill it in, it's much easier. All you have to do at that point is blend.

Ox · 09-20-2007, 5:52 PM

Those kick balls. Your lettering on Superman suck balls though. Not necessarilly the same balls, but balls none the less.

Sexy work.

Derelict · 09-20-2007, 9:25 PM

Thanks Ox. I remember you commenting on the letters on Superman once before too. I don't know why I added them, really.

Also, flod, I'll try that. Thanks.

Derelict · 09-21-2007, 11:49 AM

Hey look a double post! Anyway, I animated a dude shooting an arrow at a butterfly. This definitely falls under the "shit" part of the thread.

Took me three days to do it since I did about 8 frames each day.

I'm lazy and slow.

Bare in mind though, that this is the third animation I've ever created. (on paper anyway)

Lissa · 09-21-2007, 9:19 PM

That is a sexy Batman.

hzac · 09-22-2007, 8:06 AM

Those were glorified badass.

Batman kicked ass.

Candystripe · 09-22-2007, 12:55 PM

I love the first Defero! Batman is relatively badass looking, as well.

It wasn't so bad, just a bit choppy.

Arielcz · 09-22-2007, 2:35 PM

You are an artist.

Derelict · 10-11-2007, 11:46 AM

Oh hey, bumping my thread to add this I made for that self-portrait thread and this little animation I made today. Yay!

Fodniethan · 10-11-2007, 12:46 PM

Haha I love the little flying dude he's awesome.

Matterialize · 10-11-2007, 3:30 PM

Much better animation than the first one, man. You just need more frames so it's smoother. (I know it's a pain to draw twice as many frames, but still)

Derelict · 10-11-2007, 3:51 PM

I'm slowly getting the hang of it. Very slowly.

Derelict · 11-13-2007, 11:27 AM

Another shitty animation.

Not sure what's up with the terrible quality of video. (terrible quality of drawing is me.)

Panda · 11-14-2007, 5:31 PM

You really do have a true tallent. Shapes and outlines are done very well. The shading isn't that bad IMO, I think it's good nontheless. Very nice work.

Derelict · 11-19-2007, 11:01 AM

Some guy getting crushed by a 1000lb weight.
