wassup Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 I still think Storm needs to fix the nose on the Mara Jade drawing, it makes her almost look like a Yuuzhann Vong. Just messing with ya, you are a great artist Storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it magic? I have a sick mind. And a vivid imagination...and dreams. I can see images in wallpaper patterns. :skul9: You wouldn't want to see some of the stuff I've drawn. On a more serious note, I start with a sketch. This is the rough sketch I started with... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_One Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Stormy, you're f**king brilliant and very talented Have you ever tried to sell your art, or has anyone ever approached you about it? I mean, seriously, you are extremely good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leXX Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Awesome work as always Stormy. Your work improves noticably with every piece. Who knows what heights you will reach in a couple of years from now. If you are looking for inspiration, I feel the need to link you to one of my favourite artists. His name Anry, and he is from Russia. Check out his work. It is absolutely bloody amazing. http://www.anry.ru/eng/gallery/gallery.htm http://anry.deviantart.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I already discovered Anry a couple of months ago during one of my infrequent trawls through deviantart. I agree, he's an excellent artist. There are quite a few excellent Russian artists. One of my other favourites is actually a game designer called Timur Mutsaev. He does some excellent pencil renderings and concept art. As for mainstream artists, key favourites are Frank Frazetta and Ken Kelly, who have both produced some awesome dynamic art over the years. The_One...no one has approached me yet to do (paid) work, but I suppose I've never really tried to get noticed. It's only in recent years I've been getting back into my art, and as leXX said, I'm gradually improving all the time. If you know anyone who wants to hire me, then feel free to send them my way.

Mike Windu Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Storm, I'm hiring you as my visual concepts artist. Whenever I get the money, and have a studio, and fullly formed story. We'll make millions! I myself am an artist, but I'm not as good at drawing real people/ anime styled realistic people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topshot Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I myself am an artist, but I'm not as good at drawing real people/ anime styled realistic people. I'm not that good at drawing anime styled realistic people, either, but that hasn't stopped me one bit! I just gradually keep improving my style to match a somewhat anime-like style! Keep improving! It just takes time! Eventually, you'll get the hang of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted April 28, 2004 Author Share Posted April 28, 2004 Originally posted by topshot Keep improving! It just takes time! Eventually, you'll get the hang of it! That's sound advice, and I'd just like to echo it. I took art in school, and was quite good at it then. However, when I left school, I let my art skills slide for quite a while. That's not to say I didn't pick up a pencil and do some sketches now and then. But I didn't focus on it, so some of the stuff I produced was utter garbage. In recent years, I've gradually been getting back into it...and really studying how people look, how they move, interactions of light and darkness, and I've seen a marked difference in my work today compared to just a few years ago. If you like drawing, then just keep at it, keep practicing, and you're sure to improve over time. It won't happen over night...but a couple of years down the line you'll look back and see plainly all the mistakes you were making... Good luck to any budding artists out there.

Mike Windu Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Yeah, I'm taking Art in high school right now and I plan on taking it all 3 years left. I might not make it into advanced placement art however. Only time will tell. In the meantime, how about those illustrations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
