First time posting art.

[O'Haire]

Well I have been coming here for a while now. With an older name of course. Finally figured out how to upload pics. Decided I might aswell post something

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y43/D_Thompson/50_MAP0000.jpg

Finished this today. Not really complete. I need to darken it more and clean it up a bit. I hardly do stuff like this. But I'm so pumped for Begins that I really felt the need to draw something from the movie.

I have more. But I need to find them. I moved a few months ago and haven't fully unpacked.

[black_dust]

Holy crap thats jaw droppingly good!

[dansker]

its good but you just copied a picture. theres not much to say the original was a cool shot and obviously you thought so too. See the thing is, when people use source material like a photo they more often than not treat it as scripture.

this is a great debut pic for Hype, better than I've put up. However, if you take the same route for future pics (which i think ppl would be interested to see), try to add something to the original by making it your distinct interpretation. If you can do this you garner a lot of respect and admiration. O and the ppl on the Hype love Bats. I mean in a a crazy crack induced euphoria sorta stalkerish festishism. So your on to something already...

[X-Fan#1]

I don't care if it's the same as the pic, the fact that its a drawing is crazy. good job man. im pumped for begins as well so if uve got any more batman stuff deffinately post it. as u can see, dansker was right about all the bat fans

[O'Haire]

Huge Seinfeld fan. Did this a few years ago when I was bored.

[O'Haire]

However, if you take the same route for future pics (which i think ppl would be interested to see), try to add something to the original by making it your distinct interpretation.

Yeah. I am not into drawing as much as I used to be. So I usually draw something I like before my interest dies down. This Batman only took me two days too do. So i'm suprised I could get it to look good at all lol. I might start doing stuff again. And I will add something too it like you said.

[Spider-Steve]

o"Haire,

You're Batman drawn looks very good. This is Michael Keaton i think?! Right?

Can you make (draw) a Spider-Man or RoboCop or somebody else?

And, excuse when my English is not correct, i'm from Belgium and i didn't learned a lot of English. 2 schoolyears i think...

Steve

[WildCard]

no its definatly bale he based his drawing on this pic

http://img105.exs.cx/img105/4701/batman58cu.jpg

[Morg]

Nice Batman drawing

[Jack Rabbit]

I like Batman drawing, my only gripe is his mouth looks slightly askew, but the shading is dead on! Great work. And I love that Kramer! Excellent.

[O'Haire]

my only gripe is his mouth looks slightly askew,

Yeah. I noticed that after posting the pic. I fixed it. I still need to do some more work too it. I will post it again when it's 100% done and satisfied with it.

I'm gonna start work on some other stuff sometime this week. Just don't know what.

[Carmine Falcone]

stunning. More. Now. :p

[bane]

Nice job man,but i really don't like the eyes and the mouth they look very flat..................

[Shampoo!]

loving the Kramer. a big Seinfeld fan myself. kudos, and welcome to the Fan Art forums.

[O'Haire]

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y43/D_Thompson/BB3.jpg

I read what some of you have said and made some changes. Looks more pissed off now too. Still not completely satisfied with it. Still needs a bit of work because it's darker in some spots than others.

If anything else looks off let me know.

[Jack Rabbit]

I think it looks alot better. Subtle cahnges, but good oens nonetheless.

[O'Haire]

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y201/DMThompson/66244204250_355997.jpg

I really didn't plan on plan on posting anymore pics considering I haven't been interested in drawing too much these days. But I decided too do another Batman based on one of the promo posters. It's been a few months since the last one. So don't be suprised if it looks kinda crappy.

I don't ususally like posting things until they are done. But I figure I might aswell post as I go along. That way you guys can let me know what you like and don't like about it.:)

[Cobblepot]

What pencil hardness do u use?

Practice practice practice, That's what I heard from many of the teachers at the Kubert school.
One thing you may want to keep in mind when it comes to the mouth is, the corners of the mouth will always line up with the puples of the eye, unless you're drawing the Thing or characters like that.
Good job O'Haire.

[O'Haire]

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y201/DMThompson/66244204250_194407.jpg

Quick update. Not too happy with the neck. That will need more work. I'll probably do the mouth last. Maybe next just too get it out of the way. Anyway. I'll be back tomorrow or the next day with another update.:)

[jrs2345]

What kind of paper are you working on? If my instincts are correct, I bet you are using paper that isn't the best for this type of work. Whenever I render with pencil like this, I'll use illustration board or at least a heavier ply paper with some tooth to it.

Also, I'm curious as to what kind of pencils you are using as well? That decision will also make a big difference in your work.

Anyways, the new piece seems to be coming along well and I’m interested in seeing the final.

-Jeremy

[O'Haire]

What kind of paper are you working on?

Just plain computer paper with a #2 BIC pencil LOL. Not really interested in buying all the proper stuff. This is all just for fun. and something too do when I am bored. I used too have the proper art pencils and all that. Don't know what happend too them. I have moved so many times I can never keep track of things.

[O'Haire]

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y201/DMThompson/66244204250_763627.jpg

Another update. Still need too darken it clean it up in some spots but I will do that when I finish the rest of him. Sometime today or tomorrow.

[Phoney Bone]

You're crazy good at shading and stuff!:o

[Exabyte]

who cares if it comes from an original pic. It is a rendering. YOur just jealous.

[psycho]

WOOOOWWW. That is amazing.

[lost_prophet]

holy ****...man u are all kinds of good.....tht is some of the best shading i have ever seen...

[uriondo]

Pretty good, man, I love those pics...

[0neDisturbedSOB]

That's probably the best shading I've seen by anyone on these boards. Any chance you might do a Superman?

[O'Haire]

Any chance you might do a Superman?

I have been thinking about it.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y201/DMThompson/66244204250_833265.jpg

Here is an update. Almost done. I'll probabaly have it done by tonight or Thursday.

[Cornelius Jones]

is your shading technique just layering? or do you press hard to make it darker? thats sexy values

[hey yo its sean]

This is goddamn fantastic work. I want to hug you.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

I showed these pictures of yours to some friends of mine and we all agree that you've probably got the best shading any of us has seen in a long time. It's apparent by the smudges on your paper how much time goes into these drawings but the outcome is WELL worth it...your drawings almost have a semi-photorealistic quality to them.

I'd love to see you do a Superman....perhaps the new Routh pic?

[O'Haire]

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y201/DMThompson/66244204250_98768.jpg

[Vartha]

O'Haire have you tried using a pencil called an Ebony pencil for your darks? It's a softer lead and allows better contrasts.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y201/DMThompson/66244204250_98768.jpg

You could be using a stick of lead for all I care, as long as you keep posting art like this I am good to go.

Absolutely amazing work....best shading EVER.

[Vartha]

oh I agree he has a great talent, I was just suggesting a darker pencil.

[Darkphoenix]

Yea, thats my new desktop.

[O'Haire]

It looks so much better when you look at it yourself. The scanner makes it much lighter than it really is. Which kinda pisses me off. All the darkest parts on him look black. But the scanner makes it look like ****. I wish I could show you how it really looks. I wish I had a digital camera. That would probably give you guys a better look and see what it's suppose too look like.

I hate scanners http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/smilies/icon13.gif

[Eternal]

I am in complete awe that someone can draw and shade a picture that well. One of the best drawings I have seen in a very long time. To think it almost looks like a photo, and is all done in pencil is just incredible. Great work man!

[Carmine Falcone]

That batman is ****ing fabulous.

[Cobblepot]

It brings a tear to my eyes.
Amazing!

[Spider-Steve]

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y201/DMThompson/66244204250_98768.jpg

Wish i had your talent!

Very very good!

[ComicChick]

i know this thread's been dead a while, but i just stumbled across this and all i gotta say is WOW. you're shading skills are superb and that is one killer pic!

[JimmyR]

This is my first post on here, and all I can say is that between O'Haire's amazing artwork and SS's Doc Ock comic strip I felt beyond obligated to sign up and post. Hell, this site has actually got me interested in drawing again.

[O'Haire]

Been a while. But I figured I might aswell post something.

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y43/D_Thompson/66244204250_70887.jpg

Started this yesterday. I'm doing it for my mom as a X-Mas present. I was gonna do something else. But she loved Jack as The Joker. I might do a Keaton as Batman for her too. Depends how long this one takes.

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y43/D_Thompson/66244204250_373772.jpg

Started the Willy Wonka a little while ago. Haven't really done too much on it. Kinda lost interest. I'll get back too it after I'm done The Joker.

[Quentin Black]

Good stuff. You've got an accurate eye.

[Mr. Marko]

Wow...first time eh?! Way to pop your cherry with a bang! Very impressive work!

[Kal_EL]

Great pencils man!!!

[O'Haire]

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y43/D_Thompson/66244204250_422448.jpg

Some things need fixed. But other than that I will probably be done in a day or two.

[iambilly81]

that is the best ive ever seen jack's joker.......well done, cant wait to see it 100% done with the jacket n stuff.

fricken awesome!!

[lionhart]

Wow, your realism is impressive. I love how you're doing it, the old fashioned way. Just paper and a pencil.

[BK]

Your work is really impressive. There a chance you'll do sketches of future comic book characters to be done on film? Like Catwoman, Two-Face, Psyloche, Wonder Woman, Iron Man, etc...

[CyberMonkeytron]

Thats some nice work dude.

Some of facial features seem slightly out of place- his jaw line faces left, but his nose and mouth are facing right.


I did a quick adjustment of things to show you want i mean- i hope you don't mind...

[ComicChick]

cool superman, ur shading rocks. i wish i could shade half as good as you. heck, i wish i could shade at all.

[Hades]

AMAZING stuff man. They look like they're going to jump off the paper.

[ComicChick]

how long does it take you to do one of these, the superman for example

got any tips for those who aren't good at shading like you? you know, like Shading for Dummies or something? lol

[BmanX]

you have incredible patience.

[O'Haire]

Finished this today. Not too happy with it. Chin is kinda messed up. Scanners really don't make pictures look good IMO. I darkend it because it came out to bright. I kinda rushed to get it done. But it turned out okay I guess.

Here is my July Fan Art contest entry as well.

[Warhammer]

O'Haire, which pencil do you use to draw/shade?

[Majmun]

My God you are good. In order for you to sketch and shade so well, you must be able to use a part of your brain that I haven't figured out how to use.

[O'Haire]

O'Haire, which pencil do you use to draw/shade?

For my earlier pictures I used just a #2 pencil. I noticed they didn't look to good after looking back at them. But for my Last two Superman pics I got out of that habbit but I still used the #2 for some of it. But for most of it I used Mars Lumograph Sketching Pencils H, 3B, and 4B. Makes things soooo much easier. For the shading to look smooth I use Kleenex.

[HULKFish]

I love your work, it's very good! Do you have any original artwork of superheroes that weren't copies of movie images? Maybe comic type stuff?

I'd sure like to see it...

[O'Haire]

I love your work, it's very good! Do you have any original artwork of superheroes that weren't copies of movie images? Maybe comic type stuff?

[ComicChick]

i cant wait either

[pinkfloydstarr]

o'haire, how long did those pics take to make?

[O'Haire]

Depends how into it I am. The Superman I put into the June Contest took about 2-3 days. Others are usually a week.

Mostly depends on how into it I am. If I'm really into doing it I will have it done in no time.

If something stars looking good from the beginning then I will be in a great mood. But if something ends up being just a pain to get right then it starts becoming a bummer. But if it turns out good in the end then it's worth it.

Haven't done anything since the V pic. So I did this Superman to get back into the swing of things. I'm thinking of doing a space like background. Not too sure.

[Juggertha]

Great stuff man. Yeah, I'd be very curious to see what you do with the background. Any specific ideas, or just open space?

[Mee]

Awesome as is, can't wait to see it with the background.:up:

[O'Haire]

Any specific ideas, or just open space?

I love the shot of him in the movie when he was up in space listening for trouble. So I might just do something like that since it looks like he is listening.

Not sure yet if I want to add anything.

we need more updates from you. ur stuff is too good.

Big fan of Dead Like Me and Ellen Muth. So I saw this pic of her and had to draw it. The robe really didn't go how I wanted. I really need to start drawing more to work out some of my drawing kinks. LOL.

That's cool. Is there a way that you could slow the frame rate down?

Your work is amazing, O'Haire.:up:

Sure thing, what speed would you prefer?

Right now, it's ".2" seconds.

[blksuperman2]

Oh. Seriously I don't know a thing about the speeds. It's just too fast IMO. I'd slow it down like 3X slower. So whatever that equates to.

Thanks

Cool.

O'Haire, how old are you, because you had to be perfecting your art for many years...

[La_She-Beast]

Ditto, I was wondering the same thing. Willy Wonka is... delicious. D'you like Tim Burton's films?

[O'Haire]

O'Haire, how old are you, because you had to be perfecting your art for many years...

I'm 22.

The first post in this thread was actually the first time trying something realistic. Funny seeing how much has changed from that until now.

Yeah I enjoy some of them.

wow i'm 21 and you are miles ahead of me.

i dont know whether that makes me sad, or motivates me to improve. but either way, keep on posting!

[Warhammer]

Well, that gives me hope.
I can draw, but I never posted my pics on the Hype, yet. :csad:

I never came around doing it.
Maybe by the time that I'm 22, I'll be making masterpieces like you, O'Haire.

The scan made his mouth area look strange for some reason. Not sure why. Must be from the resizing.

I am working on a James Bond right now. I hope to get finished soon. I'm really burned out on drawing. So I am getting it done very slowly.

[keith_v]

Your work is obviously incredible. You have an unbelievable talent. You're one of the few artists I've seen whose work can match mine, and I've never had an art class in school where I've had good competition. I draw in a similar style, so I know how difficult it can be to draw photorealistically.

But the problem is that your work almost seems exclusive to copying photos. And you only seem to have posted very popular images, so everyone knows what you copied from. My advice would be to combine various reference photos to create an image that is truly original. Use yourself, sports magezines, ads, anything you want to use as a reference. It can be more of a challenge, but also more enjoyable.

You'll get an original, but in that photorealistic style you favor so much.


(And my comment in the first paragraph is not boasting. I'll post some of my artwork soon to prove it.)



Keep up the good work!

[Warhammer]

Geez, I really have to get my art posted.
It's not as good as these, but I like them.
I'm shyitty with shading, though.....

Took me 3 tries just to get it to look decent. Craig is a pain in the ass to get right. I worked on it for a month. I know the suit looks like crap. Don't care. I'm done and sick of looking at the picture. LOL

[Pauluz]

The suit looks like crap? You're nuts! Looks incredible! I hope you don't mind but I added a bit of colour. Did this in about 5 minutes. If you want a piece of advice; learn Photoshop (if you don't already) and get paid!

I plan on doing a Venom one of these days. I'm going to do another Spider-Man next. With the movie coming out this week I'm getting pumped.

as the french might say, fantastique! the subtlety to the shading is extraordinary: witness the subtle reflection of the white shirt on the underside of his chin! superb. and the texture on the suit is great, too.

one slight criticism: not sure about the hard outlines, especially around his profile, his ear and the back of his shirt. also, despite keith_v's hilarious boasting, i actually agree with his point: it would be supercool to see some original compositions from you.

[O'Haire]

not sure about the hard outlines, especially around his profile, his ear and the back of his shirt.


Everything is outlined in ink. Especially the eyes. Just in case I need to erase lots. I hate redoing things. So I just outline it all.

[Warhammer]

Again, you are the master of shading. :up:

This one may be your best yet.

And I was just curious, how big is this actual image? And did you use vey smooth paper or a blending stick? Because whenever I try to scan pencil, it always comes out looking very grainy.

[Warhammer]

^I definitely agree with the grainy part.
My scanner f***s up my pictures.

it's been a while since i've seen good Edward art

[O'Haire]

Noticed the eyes need to be a little darker.

[batboy99]

Man, your art just looks like real photos changed to black and white, which is good thing, they look amazing! are you a proffesional artist?

[BubbaGump]

Okay. I've just read all 9 pages of this thread, and seen all the masterpieces it cointains, and all I can say is: I want to cry.

Alex Ross has nothing on you. Truly great stuff. :heart:

[O'Haire]

are you a proffesional artist?

Nope. Just do these for fun. Sometimes I will do something for a person. Thats about it.

[Telfie]

Maybe you should really consider trying to get a professional gig. You are without a doubt extremely talented.

Props.

[Mee]

I've been wondering O'Haire, do you do any original stuff? I mean, not that what you do isn't good, cause it's fantastic, but I'm just curious.

Really awesome stuff

Not really. When it comes to me doing my own thing. I'm very uncreative.:o

I honestly find it pretty hard coming up with anything. Thats why I just like drawing things I see and like.

Very sharp.

And I was wondering, how the hell do your scans come out so smooth? Every I scan looks grainer than VHS.

[O'Haire]

And I was wondering, how the hell do your scans come out so smooth? Every I scan looks grainer than VHS.

I press down hard so the picture is right up to the glass while it scans. Might be your scanner to. My old one made the pictures pretty grainy.

Plus the pencil has been blended together with a Q-Tip so it looks really smooth minus the clothing.

And what kind of pencil do you use to get the dark areas jet-black? My scanner refuses to pick up any blacks, so all the dark areas come out a muddy grey.

[HULKFish]

A freakin' Q-tip!!! SWEET! Great stuff as always... I want to see you do a HULK from The Incredible HULK movie when they release an image... Or a HULK/Edward Norton pic.

[Ring Deacon]

down right amazing work.

[O'Haire]

And what kind of pencil do you use to get the dark areas jet-black?

No pencil. I use ink. I could never get the pencil dark enough without looking like crap (see the earlier pictures in this thread). So I just started using ink. Mostly just a plain old Sharpie.

I like to outlining my stuff with a 0.1 Staedtler Pigment Liner. That way if I have to erase a lot of shading the eyes and everything else are still there.

[Untilteld]

Great artwork man.

[SuperKizer]

Holy &*^. These are great. Keep it up!

Looks incredible, but the tips of the swinging hairs should be almost blending into the backround to convey motion. You did it on a few clumps, but there are a few prominent ones that could have used the effect.

Other than that, it's still a 10/10.

[O'Haire]

Just fixed the thicker bits of the hair. I also noticed some looked thinker because I forgot to erase the pencil outlines.

But I'll stick with this one. Don't feel like re-scanning it and uploading it again LOL.

[nightcrawler29]

what r u working on now??

[O'Haire]

what r u working on now??

Nothing now. I'm going away for a few weeks.

[Ectomorphian]

I can't help my jaw dropping everytime i click the next page to see what you've done. I've always wanted to draw realisitic stuff like this, but my skill has yet to develop.

Anyway, i really wanted know, when did you realise you could do these magnificently, amazing drawings?

[donaldthe3rd]

Theres nothing that I could do that could even touch what you do when it comes to art work. Your an inspiration to me and I hope someday I can draw as good as you:woot: . I really wanted to post a picture of Weapon X I did awhile ago and since this is my first time posting art this thread seems suitable. So heres one of my older versions of Weapon X: *note: His legs are rather thinner then what they should be and I forgot to add the hair to the rest of his body*::http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs17/i/2007/174/7/3/Wolverine_by_donaldthe3rd.jpg

If I were you, I would PM O'Haire and let him know that you've posted one of your pics in his thread. I'm not sure if he intended this thread to be only for his artwork, or for anyone's first time posting art. He could possibly get offended by it if this was meant to be his personal thread, so just let him know.

[donaldthe3rd]

good idea

[nightcrawler29]

ya i was about to say the same thing

[Untilteld]

Kinda rude to put your art in another man's thread.

[nightcrawler29]

ya. All of O'haires art is actually real looking and then you put in a sketch

Couldn't fit it all so I had too scan the head and hand separately and put them together in paint. I suck at doing stuff like that. Thats why the hand looks strange.

I was bored and wanted to try something new. I'm getting burnt out on doing pencil stuff. This is my first attempt at doing something in more of a comic book feel. Still trying to get the hang of it. Been watching the Potter movies and felt like drawing them. Done with pen and ink with some pencil and white gel pen on Voldemort.
