Hey guys!

So for my own little birthday treat to myself, I bought a Wacom Bamboo pen tablet off of Amazon. I've had it for a week or so now, but with work and whatnot I've not had much chance to work with it. The tablet itself came with Corel Painter, which I'm getting much, much better at using. However - I still need practice!

So here's my idea - give me something to draw/create. Maybe you want me to design a logo for a band or company you made up, or to draw a portrait of you, or even to create cartoons! The idea is that the more creative the ideas, the more practice I'll get in all sorts of styles. I really don't want to get stuck in a rut using the same basic tools (The in-program tools, that is) to draw, so variation is key. smile.gif

I think it'll be a mutual gain - I get practice, you get a drawing of whatever you want.

Sound like a deal?

Edit: Here's just a quick example of something I've drawn -
Yannick
Ooh awesome.

Pet dragon named Steve?
vicrawr
Androids riding rocket-bears and fighting lion-men riding dinosaurs with machine guns.

Here's steve -


Vic, your picture will require me to be fully awake...so I will do it at another time. tongue.gif
Yannick
Awww! I love Steve, he's so adorable. biggrin.gif Do you care if I upload him to Facebook/if I do, do you want to be tagged?
Mata
Unicorns playing in a waterfall.
vicrawr
A viking warrior standing triumphant over the dismembered bodies of his enemies.
Yannick
Me riding Steve through space admiring the planet Naboo. biggrin.gif (No space helmet necessary, I have superpowers.)

Izzy - of course you can put it on facebook, and I don't really care either way if you tag me or not. smile.gif

Vic, If you judge by artistic skill, this is one of the worst thing I've drawn. If you judge by sheer balls-to-the-wall awesomeness...it's the best damn thing, ever:

Please draw all the members of the forum rolled up into a katamari. Thank you.

Also, something involving this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpqxSBclqWs
vicrawr
Best damn thing ever. You rule.
voices_in_my_head
These are some oddly abstract unicorns, I don't know if that's because I wanted them to be that way or if it's because it was 4am. Regardless, here they are:



The reason the above picture was done at 4am is because this picture took up most of my time:
vicrawr
That's great work!
Mata
Wheee! Unicorns love waterfalls, and that image proves it! biggrin.gif

After many days of not drawing due to boring real-life stuff, I present to you the best viking, ever.

Bigfist McHugeballs.



And then, a self portrait that I hate:

He certainly is a much more relateable character now.
vicrawr
Can you give me a picture of your dream wedding portrait? OR. A scene from your favorite movie.
Mata
A person surfing on a tide of lava from an exploding volcano. Possibly they are rescuing a kitten for the tide of burny hotness.

Matt - I'm working on the picture of crazeh banana man right now, but so far he's turned out far more creepy than funny.

Yay biggrin.gif
voices_in_my_head
I took a stillframe of the video and everything...it's really hard to illustrate a man with bananas growing out of random orfices without it being creepy.



Oh, and I meant to say this when I posted bunzilla - I am completely in love with the fire in that one.
Cath Sparrow
Yay! Awsome. I much aprove of Bunzilla.
Faerieryn
Could you draw me an awesome car? Then I can channel all my "if wishes were horses" thoughts into the picture!
voices_in_my_head
This one was a lot of fun. smile.gif

CrazyFooIAintGettinOnNoPlane
Awesome!!
LoLo
Can you draw me someone pulling someone out of a phone who is composing the horrible hold music, and stabbing their hand with an exacto knife? Apparently I'm feeling violent. lol
voices_in_my_head
So this isn't one of the request, but i've been pretty busy with this new "college" thing I'm doing lately. Turns out it's very time consuming. But I did draw something!




You're all welcome.
Mata
People being surprised by a sudden loud noise from an unexpected object.
voices_in_my_head
This thread hasn't been forgotten, just so y'all know. smile.gif I'm currently just very busy with schoolwork and othersuch stressful things, and sadly don't have much time for tablet-stuff.
HOWEVER. I'm about 1/3 done with a scene from my favorite movie, so there should be a finished image for it soon. smile.gif
