Hey BB family! :tada:

Following @cyanized227 frequent progress and updates, rekindled the wanna-be artist in me!

So I decided to give it a stab once again, starting with a traditional style, Rath- (obvious for anyone who knows me :sunglasses:) -centric piece.

Murder and Music

I hope you guys like it.

(well I understand if fans of some of the deceased here donā€™t :sweat_smile:)

Iā€™m happy to accept any requests you guys might have, if youā€™re interested on my takes.

Iā€™d like to avoid doing Pin-Ups (I would be dipping into @cyanized227 forte)

But Iā€™ll accept any requests, they help keep the motivation going!

REQUESTS

  • Toby + Orendi Status: COMPLETE Post: 25
  • Sexy Schoolgirl Attikus Status: WIP (concepts done)
  • ISIC Status: Pending
  • Phoebe + Orendi Status: WIP (concepts done)

(Keep them coming!)

Thanks for looking!

Cheers!

Tools: 0.7 Mechanical Pencil, Ultra Fine Sharpies.

You too? Lol

I havenā€™t felt like drawing in months, but recently Iā€™ve had a weird desire to draw some BB fanart as well. I just wish I wasnā€™t so awful without digital means of fixing my awful hand-drawn line work.

Very nice drawings, like your style.

ItĀ“s so great to see the creativity flowing in this community!

Would you draw an Orendi+Toby-fanart when I draw a Phoebe for you? :heart:

Nice work! I love Caldarius in the background. Iā€™d definitely like to see more of your art!

Speaking of which, I should probably draw some more pictures since I started an art thread tooā€¦

I couldnā€™t help but notice that the majority of the slain in your picture are some of, if not THE most, complained about characters. This is significantā€¦

Puts on Sigmund Freud goatee and glasses, and speaks in Rugratsā€™ Lipschitz voice.

Art often reflects a portion of itā€™s creator, and can be effectively used to delve into their psyche. Are the slain ā€œOPā€ characters that Rath, who is clearly meant to represent yourself, a result of your pent-up hatred for them, or possibly the signs of a superiority complex?

Steeples fingers.

Tell me about your fatherā€¦

(Seriously though, dude; awesome work! Draw moar!)

Assignment One: Analyze the use of positioning and the selected characters in Soloā€™s art. Explain why the other non-central characters have been depicted as slain, and why these specific characters have been selected by the artist. Discuss the importance of the Vault Symbol featured in the lower-right of the piece, and discuss why the artist may have chosen this particular symbol in order to convey meaning.

HandsomeCam points at his fake goatee.

HandsomeCam (Lipschitz voice): Excuse me, but I shall be the one giving the psychology testsā€¦

@nbrownlie237 rips off HandsomeCamā€™s fake goatee, and hands him a pen and notebook.

@nbrownlie237: Penmanship counts.

HandsomeCam (normal voice): Awwā€¦

Youā€™ll draw me a Phoebe? :heart: :heartbeat: :two_hearts: :revolving_hearts:

OFFER ACCEPTED!

Iā€™ll give you the most awesome Toby/Orendi mash-up EVER (within my limits)

Iā€™ll get on it, as soon as I can. Drawing really hurts my wrist (breaks my heart) so it slows me down a bit.

But Iā€™ll make this, I promise.

(runs off thinking about Phoebe, with a grin)

I know your feelings man.

Without the easy rewinds and layers digital art permits, every mistake is fatal for me

(especially in the coloring! Coloring scares me!)

I think I made like 3 dry runs of this picture before I got one decent enough to line-up.

You should draw something! Weā€™ve let cyanized do all the heavy lifting around here, it would be nice to give back!

Nah, I just happened to think of a realistic 5 man group you can come across.

The fact it happens to consist of strong choices, is a coincidence. Honestā€¦

Youā€™re also assuming Rath killed all these guysā€¦ Thatā€™s never hinted at, you just see him basking in inspiration (musically) from the after-math.

So with that said, letā€™s flip this psycho-analysis back on you.

Puts on Sigmund Freud goatee and glasses, and speaks in Rugratsā€™ Lipschitz voice.

Art interpretations from a viewer often inject a portion of themselves in their observations, and can be effectively used to delve into their psyche.

Do you see Rath, the assumed killer of these ā€œOPā€ characters as a villain?

As you clearly seem to imagine yourself within the slain ā€œOPā€ group.

Is this a result of your pent-up anxiety of whatā€™s in store for yourself, or possibly signs of a sheltered inferiority complex?

Steeples fingers.

Tell me about your motherā€¦

:wink:

(Thanks Cam, appreciate the compliments and encouragement)

Oh Godā€¦

This brings back horrible HORRIBLE memories of my requests back when I was on Deviant Art lolā€¦

Iā€™ll do itā€¦ but itā€™s going to be LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW on the priority list, like any buffs coming to him. :laughing:

Ohhhhh yes, its my nemesis too. My art is 100% traditional and although I make sketches with graphite pencils, my outlines are unearasable and COPICmarker is permanent. Sometimes I need to restart a picture 3-6 times, and when I screwed up after 5 hours, I have to do all again ToT

Take care of your wrists & hands bro! 12years of drawing and sculpting got me athritis in both hands (rheumatic desease in the joints) because I kept on creating far to much. (IĀ“m 26, so rheumatics are not only for old people -.-)

I hope Phoebe will go smoothly, I just canĀ“t decide for a pose yet :heart:

Ah so itā€™s not just me!

Iā€™m sorry to hear that, I just figured it was some genetic barrier keeping me from working prolonged sessions.

I use to have Copics, back in my manga daysā€¦ (good times)

If Iā€™m going to really double-down on being a frequent poster, I may just consider splurging on some decent supplies!

If it helps you any, I try and make up for my lack of finesse with amusing distractions. I try to capture moments in a scenario over a ā€œpose for the photoā€ drawing.

Maybe have her interacting with something or some one?

Good luck! Starting the concepts for your request now!

Aye Aye Capā€™n!

Edit: On a side note; I bought myself a tablet, but thatā€™s just like step 1 of a bunch of steps. Without the proper use of a digital art software, youā€™re kinda screwed. I used to use Photoshop CS3 waaaay back, and I probably wouldnā€™t like anything other than that since no other program I seem to try has a Pen Tool like CS3ā€™sā€¦:confused:

I love that you turned this into some after-class discussion.

Maybe you should begin the dissection, by sharing your thoughts, Head Teacher?

(Takes a seat)

Weā€™d love your take, on the particulars.
