Wer = not a word

I correct: Not an english word

German: Wer = who

Like in:
"Wer bist du?" - "Who are you?"
"Wer bringt das Bier" - "Who brings the beer?"
"Wer geht auf das Oktoberfest?" - "Who is going to the Oktoberfest?"

could you please elaborate on Shading.

For example there is no shading on his left leg (the right from our view) and on the arm that is not carrying the gun. The gun itself also has no shading so far.

Here is another WIP ("Work In Progress") to prove to the masses that I have not yet reached the grave.

Wow, looks awesome so far. Can't wait to see this finished.

It seems this will become a fantasic collab.

Aigis - The Star

Aigis called dibs on the HighPriestess and did post a WIP. The Star was Mischie's choice, according to your newpost at least....

It's you're not even sure what the image is, then that's not exactly a good sign......

Yes... I sure what is but i don't know say it...
Maybe... Tools Revenge? or Tools for kill?

Erm.... ok let's try it again.... please be specific. What tools are there? One is a screwdriver, am I right?

What is that thing on the guys head? And what is the brown angular thing behind the guy? Door? Table? From the blood and head it looks as if he is lying on it and from the lower body it looks like he is standing infront of it.

I know this sounds harsh, but I'm honestly confused.

@SlogBait: I think your entry is the best so far.

You could also try your luck in the Art Requests Go Here Thread but be sure to read the first post, especially the part about the format for thread and blog post.

Good luck!

Another one for Ashman.

Erm.... not quite what I asked for but..... thanks?

Sweet!

A horse who rides on a cowboy. (Not a typo, the horse is this time riding on his master.)

I doubt that people don't put thought in their pieces, but I admit that critiques are most times limited to judging drawing skills and technique. And that's probably why you get the impression that the meaning of a drawing isn't considered as important here in the art forum.

The thing is, it is really hard to understand what went through an artists head when he drew a certain picture.

I wish you a slightly less ornery birthday Ornery!

There can only be one!

Sounds nice!

You should check out the Art Requests Go Here Thread or (probably more suiting in your case) the Movie/game Art Request Thread.

Good luck with that!

Interesting - you contribute with one frame and then other people can contribute with one frame also (in the same spot) and then people vote who did the best job?

That's how I understood it, too. Also you can still contribute and if your piece gets top rated it replaces that certain frame.

On a unrelated note. Has anybody seen the Johnny Cash Project yet? Or did someone even contribute to it? I just thought it may be interesting to some of you, so check it out. It's awesome!

Also happy belated birthday Fifty-50!

So.... wasn't that until last saturday? Just sayin'....

Happy belated birthday, Hyptosis!

Ok last friday we had a great portal flood and this was my submission. I put some hints on the topic death in it, but nobody seemed to recognize it, or at least didn't see it as a part of the pic that's important enough to mention. Since I didn't post in my thread for quite some time and don't want to take the discussion to the reviews or PM's I thought I should post it here with some explanation.

From the reviews, I know about my "technical" mistakes, the perspective issues and the clouds already. But feel free tell me if you have something new to add to that.

What I want to know is how could I have made my references to death more clear?

First connection to death is the skull face in the moon. I doubt it is hard to see, or is it?

Second are the marks in the sand. "Dear John" refers to "Dear John letters", when women break up with their boyfriend's or husbands and can't deal with telling them personally. The footprints lead to the water and in combination with the "Goodbye" to the boyfriend I wanted to figure her commiting suicide.

Third one is probably the most twisted and I can understand if the reference is not instantly clear. It's the title and the saturated green colour. "Green flashes" are said to appear whenever someone escapes from the land of death, as known from "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" (more info). It usually happens at sundown, but in my pic, it is night just because the "soul" commiting suicide is entering the land of death instead of escaping it. As I said, it's probably a bit far-fetched.

Additionally the whole setup of the pic was supposed to be "from light to dark" aswell as "real to more unreal" both going from foreground to background. With the moon being in the background, but still being bright to stand out and to direct the view to it.

Sorry for the text wall, but I would highly appreciate any comments on this. Maybe I just overdid it with trying to add some points for interpretation.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, Also to the kind mod responsible for it.

Congrats J-qb! Also, I now know, why I thought your pic would suit a advertising campaign. Look at this. Silly me!

Still not done with reviewing all pics, but I will, I promise.

Also, you posted that swordsman in your other thread already about 10 days ago.

So you want to say, that guy from halo reach "took" artworks from you and then published the pic JackDGreatest found? I don't quite understand what you are trying to say with that sentence?

hope u'll improve! good try

Sorry it didn't occurred to your liking I was actually aiming For the look of acrylic or Pastel and Doing no bold line work instead just doing flows of shade By pinpointing where the dividing lines are by doing the Dodge and burn tool

You could follow those sketch lines with your flows of shade without showing them in the actual image. But it's somehow deformed, the way it is now. The acrylic or pastel look worked, except for that pixelated white outline.

Nice work but wtF is this tree image you have added?

I liked it until Cloudy made me realise, that it is a tree. Looked somehow "crushed" to me.

It looks good. The RedXIII one, too. But you should keep them in one thread. There is no need to create one thread for each piece.

Since your thread titles are just about one character, you could ask a Mod if it would be ok, if you create a completely new showcase thread for all your works and get the other ones deleted.

Besides that: FINAL FANTASY!!! YAY!!!

There once was a bitch with an itchy slit
who hopped to the doc who got out his cock
he rubbed it with lotions and potions and stuff
and after he fucked her the itching wore off

If you want that idea to work:

A) Put some more effort in the composition and the layout. For example, the BBS parody is basically just lines of text, no lines, no frames, links not clickable or anything like that.

B) Why don't you add your own stuff to get things started?

I doubt this will work and I don't see the point. Now is it a parody like the intro says or a mini version to get more attention to art?
