Dragon I drew in art class today, for a friend. I am aware that the limbs and claws are derpy as fuck, but there is no way to fix it now! :P

EDIT: Wow, I didn't even realize I page got. :o

Also, it may just be me but I believe your image may be broken.

Bitches don't know about my Avant Garde style.

@Locks
I'm pretty pleased with those results too… if you know what I mean.

my tablet was only $60… I've spent way more on traditional art materials

Same here. It's mainly because I'm a lot better on paper than computer. :P

I'm sorry, Mexx, I've been working on the same piece for weeks but I keep scrapping it and starting over D: I will return soon!

My situation x1000 on everything I ever work on. I'm never happy with what I do, and when I have an idea I always end up scrapping it.

Ugh, the feeling of working on something to only be dissatisfied when you see how it came out.
I share your pain, like most others do.

So I finally finished the request I got on dA. I was requested to draw Allen Walker from D.Gray-Man (there were more details than that but I'm too lazy to explain and you guys probably don't care anyway). I am very proud of the result, and the requester liked it too :3

My. Fingers. Hurt. So. Bad.

@Crimson: I am the third face in this equation.

This post doesn't belong in another thread, or on it's own thread, but it has to do with art class so it's going here.
Today:
1) I'm leaving the art room to go to the library
2) Todd-Nutsack (Actually called Michael) runs up behind me as I speak with Lexie, starts wrapping masking take around me.
3) After maybe seven times around, he rips the tape and I run after him.
4) Back into the art room, running full speed after this mother fucker, turn around the table
5) Trip on the stool
6) Hands tied, can't use 'em
7) Fly like a majestic torpedo through the air (this could make for a drawing)
8) Headfirst, totally horizontal into wood cupboards
9) Somehow not dead with a cracked skull or broken neck
10) Big bump, my head hurts

My art classes in a nutshell.

Hey! Just made separate thread for this, but it was rightfully closed – sorry for the trouble by the way, my bad! I hope it's ok if I just copy and paste what I wrote there, here?

I hope to spark some conversation and such regarding the preservation of the internet/memes/personalities through other media like sculpture!
For the last two years i’ve been sculpting highly detailed dioramas of Youtube personalities, attempting in my own way to preserve what I believe to be fragile personalities and environments. All of them are made from wire, tin foil and sculpey. I would LOVE any feedback at all on any of them if possible!

…And more to come! As for why I’m doing this, truth is i’m working on a project about Youtube, for entrance into graduate schools, (For sculpture/printmaking and Film Video New Media) that looks at how video is preserved and archived, and whether it’s an archival medium at all… If ANY medium is truly archival, actually…. Basically an analysis of the permanence and impermanence of video on the internet. I’m essentially obsessed with this idea that people die on the internet in a way, when their content is removed for whatever reason. Youtube is full of fragility. I choose all kind of subjects that deal with that one some kind of level – people that have been heavily censored and lost content that way, or others take down their videos for personal reasons… Chris-Chan is an amazing example of another extreme – a one person whose content has essentially been made immortal through this obsessive archiving and cataloging that’s been done… He’s a legend, and he will never die. Truth is video is one of the most fragile of mediums and through sculpture and print, I hope to find a way of holding on to those places and environments that would otherwise be lost… A way of creating a hard copy… That won’t ultimately last either… Its a study in futility, no?

All the best,
Oldphan

Alright guys, whoever downvoted Oldphan needs to really rethink how they use their karma.
Oldphan, you have a really interesting concept and I think your sculptures are really good too. There is a lot of attention to detail, and I always appreciate detail.
Also, I suggest you visit this thread so you can know how to embed your videos and pictures so people don't have to go to all that trouble of copying and pasting your links

@Hellajeff: You don't necessarily need a tablet to get art to look like Mexx's. I am of the firm belief that almost anything that can be drawn on a tablet can be drawn using traditional media too. Tablet's make some things much more convenient though.
