[StarvingArtist]

Don't know why I never made an art thread before, but anyway, here's a sampling of some of zee stuff I've done over zee years. Most of it is old and should be put out of its misery.

I don't know but his work is amazing.

[StarvingArtist]

Sorry sorry guys, I've been EXTREMELY busy with an art commission that's down to the wire. Hopefully I'll have it done soon and then I can move on to other projects.

More art to come, I promise!

[KingOfDreams]

good stuff :up:

Sigh, breaking into comics...if only it were that easy.

While I know I've got a lot of raw talent and potential, I don't think I'm all that near to where I have to be in order to really forge ahead in my field. Competition is incredibly stiff.

Maybe some day though

[Pauluz]

Tell them about Mcfarlane ;) Dude you got skills!

[ngoc]

i love your sabertooth and spiderman drawling they kick ass

[StarvingArtist]

Tell them about Mcfarlane ;) Dude you got skills!

Heh, funny you should mention that,

So one guy from mcfarlane contacted me after receiving my resume, so he sent me a sculpture kit to work on and send back so they could get an idea of my skill level. Well sadly, never heard back from them.

But then, a few months later, ANOTHER guy from mcfarlane interested in my work emailed me after stumbling across my website. So I emailed him back telling how I had been contacted before yet received no response. And now I have yet to hear back from him lol. Sigh.

So I dunno.

Whoa I forgot that I had a fanart thread here :) While I don't really have anything all that new, the most recent stuff I've worked on lately are a tweaked version of Venom Lethal Protector 1:

[Syncos]

http://www.willdrawforfood.com/BatmanFirstNightOut3.jpg

Made a few tweaks. Now I'm REALLY likin' it :)

I like that this was darkned up a bit, however I have to admit, i was liking the idea of white contacts, instead of the mask having white eyes. Not sure why. still superb. you've got talent, SA.

[dodus]

Dude! You've tweaked the Venom cover even further it looks like? Looks even better, though I wouldn't have been able to tell you there was room for improvement. Fantastic stuff man. I bet Bagley would love to see that.:up:

[Nysrol]

Got to love the Venom :sym:

[Secret_Riddle]

hmm u should replace bagley on ultimate spider-man :) since hes leaving. honestly though if i were bendis i would seriously consider you. your spider-man drawings are some of the best ive seen. i love the style and dramatic over the top poses you give him. i think you should find someone on this board whose a good writer. have him make you a good script and then you illustrate it and make into, well a comic:) it would be great for your portfolio. you could also maybe take your favorite comic and reillustrate it. either way it would be awesom.

you have skills man.

[ghost113]

very kickass venom.

[StarvingArtist]

This is a shout out to the vast population of SHH. Here's the skinny: I'm in the middle of a major overhaul of a lot of the pieces on my site which are old and no longer indicative of my current skill. I have made significant tweaks to an old pic, however I ended up making two versions:

One with harsh light and highlighting:
http://willdrawforfood.com/BatmanFirstNightOutRevised.jpg

And one without:
http://willdrawforfood.com/BatmanFirstNightOutRevised2.jpg

Each have their own pros and cons and if anyone has any feedback or critique on either of them then by all means. My question is which one do you guys believe is stronger and why? I personally prefer the one with the harsh lighting, but please, any feedback will be much appreciated.

[The Last Meatbag]

I personally like the one without lighting......just personal preference

[Mee]

Very cool.:up:

[Edd Extraordinaire]

This man is a genius.

Fanatastic Illustration and sculpture work as always Starving Artist - Good to see you here at the hype too :up:

[StarvingArtist]

Links have been fixed

[StarvingArtist]

Alrighty, I've started making major revisions to this piece. First order of business in making this piece everything it can be: I've decided to give bats his gauntlets, therefore making his mask the last thing he'd have to put on (which would make more dramatic sense)

http://willdrawforfood.com/BatmanFirstNightOutGauntletTest.jpg

They aren't finished obviously. They only have the first level of detail and the basic concept I'm shooting for. Crits, feedback, or approval more then welcome.

[ComicChick]

this is a great piece, and one you tweak it up like u've planned, it'll be even better

lol, interesting metaphor :) though I assure you that there is plenty more I could take in time ;)

Thank you everyone for the kind feedback. I've been hard at work searching for grad schools but I'll be posting more stuff up soon. Until then, here's a penguin with sunglasses:

[Zolland]

i havent read this whole thread so i dont know if youve addressed this...but youve made it seem like bruce wears white contacts to hide his eyes. in all the stuff ive read, his mask is what has the white eye pieces. just in case youd like to make a small change.

[Zolland]

and now that i go back in the thread i see it used to be that way. oh well just thought i'd mention it.

[StarvingArtist]

Heh, yeah I know about his eye pieces. However, I tend to entertain my own fancy and take certain liberities to an extent when it comes to drawing these characters, especially if I have a story behind them. Take for example, my joker bust:

http://www.willdrawforfood.com/TheJoker.jpg

It's still the same character; just my own interpretation I guess. And all of the changes have meaning that could be plausible in the batman mythos.

[webhead731]

You...made that?...









Get a freakin' job doing this stuff!:eek:

[ghost113]

you did that i swear iv'e seen it before.

[StarvingArtist]

WOW!! Your work is amazing. Thank you for sharing it.

Another gauntlet color test. I'm thinking of ditching the engraved pattern all together and just going with the flat glossy metallic look. Finished version will have the three spikes and will look a bit more worn. Plus, I made some minor tweaks to the face that were bothering me (check the original a page or two back.) He'll have eyes eventually. Constructive critique more then welcome.

[webhead731]

:eek::up:

[ghost113]

I myself really like the glossy look to the gauntlets.

[Kool-Aid]

I like your sculptures and black and white that looks a bit like Sin City art best.

[ComicChick]

i think i'm liking the glossy ones even more every time i come back to look

[StarvingArtist]

i think i'm liking the glossy ones even more every time i come back to look

Yeah I think I'm sticking with the glossy look. I also fixed a ****load of subtle proportion problems on the body that I only noticed when I horizontally flipped the image.

[Saint]

Do you have any sequentials, SA?

[StarvingArtist]

Do you have any sequentials, SA?

Unfortunately not yet. I have some old sequentials that I now look at with disdain, but nothing indicative of what I could do now.

[BRUTAL]

It's always good to see true talent and someone with the grace to accept criticism. I love your stuff man. I liked the dark eyes on spidey... good stuff.

I'm 24

[webhead731]

Okay.

I was gonna' say, if you were just a mid-teen, then you're one of the most talented ones lol.

[Saint]

I really like the glossy gauntlet. If i were to make a suggestion it would be that some texture to the bodysuit and cowl might work really well.

[StarvingArtist]

Okay.

I was gonna' say, if you were just a mid-teen, then you're one of the most talented ones lol.

Heh, nah those days are far behind. (Mind you a lot of people could argue that I was still pretty talented in my mid-teens ya know...:cwink: )

[StarvingArtist]

I really like the glossy gauntlet. If i were to make a suggestion it would be that some texture to the bodysuit and cowl might work really well.

I agree. Eventually, the whole piece will have both a background and the same detail and texture quality as the gauntlet. Right now I'm basically just polishing a turd lol.

There really is so much wrong with it that I'm trying to fix. The face is pissing me off, the rough pencil outlines are eyesores. I dunno, I guess I'm the type of person who refuses to be beaten by a project. I have to get things just right before I can set it down. I hope everyone doesn't mind me posting basically the same pic over and over again

[mrsparkle]

i personaly preffered the white contacts version

Do you have specific brushes you use for textures? I have real trouble trying to implement textures in my tablet work; I just can't wrap my headaround how to do it. Similarly, I also have trouble with smooth blending.

[StarvingArtist]

Do you have specific brushes you use for textures? I have real trouble trying to implement textures in my tablet work; I just can't wrap my headaround how to do it. Similarly, I also have trouble with smooth blending.

Well, to get down the basic texture, I go through a few processes in photoshop.

For most patterns, I create a new layer and I lay down a black and white pattern of the texture I want to apply to an area of the piece. Then, I use the emboss filter on it, making sure the light source is hitting it appropriately. Once that's done, I change the blending options and opacity to whatever I need in order to get it to look like it's actually texture. From there, I'll either airbrush, liquify, blur, or blend whatever I need to in order to get it to gell with the rest of the piece.

The process was slightly different though with the gauntlet because intead of creating a pattern and embossing it, I copied a non-glossy version of the gauntlet and used the chrome effect. I then made it an overlay and adjusted the opacity to get just the right amount of highlight.

[StarvingArtist]

I refuse to give up on this piece :) Here's the latest progress:

http://willdrawforfood.com/BatmanFirstNightOutTease5.jpg

(might show up a tad dark on some screens)

Yeah, right now, it's just a simple picture of a younger Bruce Wayne. I was thinking of jazzing it up with a background and some ambient lighting coming from above and below. But anyway, crits welcome on what I have so far...thanks!

[Omega214]

^^ i like it, i think its great as it is but having a light from the top makes a bit of sense, maybe partially lightin up a batcave in the background.

[StarvingArtist]

^^ i like it, i think its great as it is but having a light from the top makes a bit of sense, maybe partially lightin up a batcave in the background.

Thanks man :) Actually, I've decided that the image above will in actuality be a reflection in a head-on shot of a mirror in the batcave. (Think V for Vendetta in the beginning when V is getting ready to go out.) Below the mirror will be a work desk littered with objects he will be taking with him on his first night out, as well as unfinished gadgets and text books on metallergy, physics, engineering, and auto design etc. http://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif The light source will mainly be from above, but depending on where I go with it, I might want to throw in some ambient shades of blue and red. We'll see. But yeah, this is basically the gist of it. In other words, it's gonna rock.

[Sugarculted]

Well, what can I say. In a word, amazing. You have superb talent, I wouldn't hesitate to buy one of your busts if I came across one on the shelves :up:

Also, many thanks...I've been questioning my artwork for some while now, and felt like giving up. I've just started my multimedia course as well. You've just made me get down to practicing alot more. Like now. I guess with practice it can become even better, and hopefully reach near your standards.

[ghost113]

very sweet

[Zolland]

the artwork is great. my questions lie in how accurate you want the practicality. shiny gauntlets on Batman reflect light and show his location.

dont get me wrong! they look great!

Haha, point taken. I could try do to a few things to them, or you could just think of it as something that hasn't occurred to Batman yet, since he is about to embark on just his first night out in this piece.

Dude, your comments made my day, I thank you:) Yes it's completely true, the more you practice, the more you learn, the better you'll get. It really just all depends on you own will and how much you want it. But I thank you again for the kind words and for inspiring ME to be better as well :up:

Yeah I know, me too as well. One of these days I'll do one. I'm really lagging behind on my Lex Luthor bust as it is.

[Super Kal]

you're doing a LL one?... awesome! can't wait to see it...

[mrsparkle]

your joker scuplture blew me away im now semi hoping he looks like that in the movie.

i would love to the a beast sculpture from you!

i would love to see your take on the character.

or any of the x-men!

keep up the good work! :woot:

[HULKFish]

very nice stuff!

[Zolland]

i know its backpeddling, but since it was brought up - that joker bust is my favorite comic piece ive ever seen...in regards to anything by anyone professional or not.

if you had only painted all of his skin white and gotten rid of the tattoo! then i would be offering you large sums of cash for it :)

Yeooo, what up hype, just dropping in to display this finished batman pic. Can finally close the book on this baby. I think it came out rather nice.

http://willdrawforfood.com/BatmanFinished1.jpg

[batboy99]

looks amazing

[CyberMonkeytron]

Thats some tight rendering dude :up:

Even though the light source from above is pretty intense, and would bleed into the shadows, I would say that a little more light would be blocked on his face.

And unless he has some light absorbing gloves on there would be a bit more light on them.

Other than that- its awesome.

and im glad you have finally decided to step away from it. Sometimes you just need to move on and start something else...

[ZoIIand]

superb!

[Bnightwing]

if you did nightwing and azeal i would love u lol

What up Hype,

It's been a looong time since I posted anything artsy here on these boards and I figured it was time to shed some public light on what I've been working on as of late.

I've been getting into 3D modeling and animation in a big way, hoping to become skilled enough to turn it into my profession. I submit for your viewing pleasure the fruits of my recent labors: Joker

Thanks bro :) I highly recommend learning 3d graphics. It's very liberating

[ComicChick]

what program are you using SA? if you've already said it, sorry, but i don't remember seeing it mentioned.

[StarvingArtist]

what program are you using SA? if you've already said it, sorry, but i don't remember seeing it mentioned.

Right now I'm using a program called Modo by Luxology. I'm discovering though that 3d graphics requires an awareness of a lot of different programs depending on what you want to create. Some programs are better suited for certain things over others, and everyone utilizes more then one. After I'm finished with this guy, I'm going to import him into another program called Zbrush to work on details.

[TheBat812]

May I suggest one modeled after Heath's Joker? Looks great though, I used to dabble in 3d but quickly became frustrating with modeling and texturing. I'm simply not made to do that kind of stuff... :csad:

I could give it a shot :joker:

Modeling I've found isn't all that complicated, just tedious to learn.

[Super Kal]

I tried modeling once... even made a cool little bust of a character I made.

nice to see you're still here, SA :)

Thanks babe :) I guess that was the intended effect. Finished piece will be coming along soon

[StarvingArtist]

okay, question: here's my digital joker sculpt progress thus far.

http://willdrawforfood.com/Misc/HairProgress8.jpg

Does his hair make him look emo?

I'm trying to get the look of his hair right and I can't decide of I want to go with a few thinner greasy strands or the fallen locks concept I have here. Maybe you guys can help tip the balance.

[Comic_maniac]

looks good, but yeah the thick strands in the front could use some work

[DorkyFresh]

wow...you're really gettin' crazy with that model! the hair looks pretty good. not really sure why you gave him a semi-mullet though...hehe. my suggestion would be to have the hair come over his ears. it's coming along nicely though. are you gonna texture it?

This model has been my learning experience with the software and will hopefully be my ticket to a full-time position as a digital artst :)

You better believe it I'm gonna texture it. At this point I'm still blocking in forms.

[Sensi]

Amazing work! Looking forward to see the finished piece.

[The Last Meatbag]

You may wanna do one lone strand of hair hanging over an eye or something...dunno...the picture just looks so intense and extreme for him to have all of his hair orderly :o


It still looks incredible though...just a touch that I think would improve the feel of the sculpt.
a la...this possibly?

ya, what happened to the hair that was going down over his face. i kind of liked that, just thought it needed to be detailed

About the hair...I decided to go with a "Mike Patton" very slicked back look. If you saw the entire head then you'd see that it works. I do agree though that a few loose strands here and there would add a certain something. I'm still making adjustments to the sculpt as I go, we'll see.

Just wait until you see this dude colored and rendered...I was testing out some preliminary color designs and it even caught me off gaurd and I'm making the freakin thing.

[Comic_maniac]

awsome!!! cant wait:woot:

[The Last Meatbag]

:up: :up: Can't wait, I know you won't disappoint, Artist :O

Woah, that is some kick-ass modelling. To say that I'm impressed would be a serious understatement!

Starvingartist I have a question. Is the Z brush program a program that someone could use for filmmaking like animation and keyframes.

I know you cant move it but can you put together a quicktime movie of it turning in space?

[Superman45]

nice job on the tounge by the way. As a artist myself I have never used or drawn a tounge like you have. Did you use a model?

You can make a turntable video of whatever you create in zbrush, but its strictly a 2.5D painting program. You can get a ton of info about the app on the web and at zbrushcentral.com


Thanks everyone SO much for the appreciation and the comments. This project has been a loooooong time labor of love and my guinea pig during my experimentation with this new program. The totally finished and rendered version will be coming very soon. And baby will it look demented :)

WOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!!!

Hello Hype :) As you might have noticed, I have been very involved in my digital joker project as of late. Well, I wanted to share an amazing development with you that has transpired as a result of my latest progress.

A good friend of mine in LA who has been schooling me in the fine art of 3D graphics was kind enough to show my progress to a studio in NYC and they immediately offered me an internship with the goal of taking me on as a full time artist at the end of 3 months!!!!!!!! Which means officially, if all goes well.... the moniker of StarvingArtist will become an ironic statement as opposed to a cynical truth. Thanks to all who have shown their appreciation for my work and who have sent me commission requests. Stay tuned for more cool stuff to come :)

Viva La Liberation!! Viva La Joker!!!
