Show your artwork! (Regardless of talent!)

Everything so far is quite impressive indeed! Some of these I have seen before (pulykamell, GuanoLad, picnurse, yosemite) but I enjoyed seeing again none the less. As for Darwin’s Finch, Chronos, Sunspace, paulberserker, dangergene, Selkie, Sam Stone (yes, I really liked it) I never knew any of you were into art in the least! Perhaps this evening I will take some pictures and write a longer reply!

dangergene, I hereby give you (and any other member of the SDMB) permission to draw my contributions to the Improbable Elephant Death thread. (Of course, that doesn’t mean that I won’t try drawing some of them either… I sense drawing ideas forming already.)

OK! Here’s a self portrait.

Don’t be jealous.

Those are great!

My strictly amateur photography.

Cheers. Which reminds me, I have to get on with updating that with a load of new pictures once I can stop going out drinking every night. Poor me.

I’m sure this will get a few of those “abstract art sucks” or “it looks like my 5 year old did that”, but here are some of mine anyway:

Warehouse #1 - Enamel and acrylic on wood with Misc objects

Blue #1 Acrylic on canvas with molding paste

And just to mix it up with things more people might like here are some of my photos:

Heliconia - Singapore Botanical Gardens

Tulips - Mt. Vernon, WA

Dog on cliff - Wenatchee Valley, WA

Tea House - Singapore

I’ll stop now before you’re sick of me. :slight_smile:

The website those are on needs serious tending and in no war reflects my HTML abilities… it was a quick and dirty storage space :slight_smile:

It looks like my 5 year old could do that. But I couldn’t. Good balance, good color, especially the blue one.
The tulips are great, too.

I learned my “it looks like my 5 year old did that” lesson when I went to see some of the abstracts at the National Gallery in Ottawa. Seeing paintings in person is very different than seeing printed reproductions of them. There were some painings there that were solid black. If you reproduced them, they’d look like a waste of pigment. But in person they had texture and depth and were endlessly fascinating. Bumpy black. :slight_smile:

Hey Darwin’s Finch, good to see another paleoartist on SD…

Here’s a smattering of my dinosaur stuff…

Those are quite good! I like the psychedelic Triceratops :smiley:

One of my biggest problems is that I seem unable to draw anything other than a side shot. I also seem to have great difficulty in getting the ideas from my brain to paper; I have what the Robot Devil might term “stupid hands” when it comes to drawing…

My homepage, which hasn’t been updated in eons because I keep procrastinating on the shiny new redesign that I’m supposed to be working on.

Art is not my forte, so I decided to cheat a bit and adapt the pseudo-anime style, which is infinitely simpler in doodling something that doesn’t look like 3-year-old scribbles.

I’m actually starting to improve a bit, though (I think), and I have a BBS thread of more recent artwork here .

Something I drew.

I gotta go check out everything above. I saw Chronos’ chess set; very cool.

Here’s my art: www.quoke.com

Thanks, Darwin’s Finch. Here are some more (some repeats, some new)

Here are a couple of mine. Don’t Laugh! :mad:
The second one is a little risque but should be work safe.

How about some hand drawn starships of my own design, from my ultra-geek grade school past.
