The Mighty Wind - Artist on an Extreme Budget

[The Mighty Wind]

No fancy photoshopping or any of that jazz, just kid fresh out of high school shoestringing along in university.

Apologies for the excessiveness of portraiture and lack of superhero drawings, comic style still in development. Further apologies for falling below the standard set by the many talented individuals on this board.

Just getting back into regular drawing at the moment, the last four are from a long drawing session today. Hopefully all are recognizable.

I have some of my paintings on my computer as well, however, some require formatting at the moment.

Somewhat rough, but here's a Batman redesign I just churned out.

Why the need to apologize? You do what you do and you'll get better over time. You don't need to apologize because you aren't doing anything wrong.

Keep it up.

Some paintings. The first 6 are from high school art class. We needed to pick a theme we could relate to heavily and mine was "the disjointed feeling of waking up" (if you're confused by the one, it's titled "Somebody Flushed"). The next three were a series of mini acrylic paintings I did for my girlfriend and the final image is a series of three paintings done on commission put together to show the impression they make when they're hung side by side.

WIP of a companion piece to the original Memento B+W. Sadly the black seems a lot weaker. I'm not sure if I picked an older sharpie, or one with less ink, but I might try going over some of it with another marker to see if I can correct the problem.

Love the last two.

Apologies about the size, problems with photobucket and post edit updates here. The pencil is rough though, so it might be better left to a smaller size.

My second Memento B+W piece completed...

Here's the completed piece, makes it much more obvious. I'm not going to post it in the thread however since I am quite clearly Photoshop (well, photoshop ripoff in my case) illiterate and I've got a bunch of ugly gray specks that just plain don't belong.

 

[MYSTERY]

You are fantastic!

 

[The Mighty Wind]

Quick 45 minute job testing out a bit of a comic style/digital colouring.

 

[GNR]

Gorgeous stuff.Love the Benicio piece especially.

I think its just the variety of colours that makes it look so much better since I basically skipped out on shading the rest. In inks they all look fairly decent (well, Dracula's body never quite turned out, but beyond that).
