anything interesting i might not know about? I love learning new techniques and processes!

i'll have to agree with the other's, it's just no funny. And i think the art style could improve a little bit, i think if the line's were a little cleaner, not so squiggly, i dunno can't think of a good way to say what i mean. I would continue it though, you gotta start somewhere

the first one is pretty jamtastic, did you color it digitally or non-digitally? If you did it like a man and without a computer what did you use to color the skin?

The second pic is cool to, not as interesting as the first, but i like how you draw hair, something i can't seem to do right

Do you really have a neckbeard? I will be thoroughly impressed if you do

hmm, i really like single gag comics, but i also really like continuing storylines. Have you read the online comic "Looking for Group"? I'm not sure if you'd at all be interested in the comic itself, but it's kinda structured like a fusion of the single gag and the continuous story. There's a definitive plot and each page advances it, but every page usually has one singular thing that's pretty funny (usually caused by the same character everytime).

You could always go somewhat on that route, get the best of both worlds

Glad i could inspire you, well i haven't run the shirts i just sprayed through the wash yet so i can't tell you how those specifically will hold up yet. But i've made shirts in the past and never have had a problem with them fading to much, atleast never to the point of just being a faded mess. As long as you heat set the paint into the fabric it should have some pretty solid staying power. To heat set the paint, ideally you'd use a heat press which will pretty much guarantee some staying power, but most people don't have access to a heat press so a good alternative is to run it through a dryer before wearing it or washing it, it's not quite as effective as using a heat press but it does the job well enough.

Now depending on what you use to print with i've had different experiences with getting them to last. With screen printing i know there's a fixative type substance you can mix in with the paint that eliminates the need to heat set it, i've never tried it personally but i have a friend who has a moderately successful clothing company and that's what she uses, so i assume that works well. But just trying to heat set a screen printed shirt in the dryer hasn't always worked for me, i've bought/made screen-printed shirts and had them fade to shit in a month despite running them through a dryer.

With spray paint however, i still have shirts i made a year ago that i never heat set, and they have only faded a little, but it only just has a faded aged look, not faded to the point it's impossible to see, the colors just aren't as bold as brand new. So just from experience spray paint has some pretty good staying power on shirts, i've heat set both of the last two shirts, one with a dryer and one with a heat press, so i can get back to you on if they fade quickly or anything.

Hope you're not to dizzy after reading all the mess :) I tend to get carried away, glad i could inspire you! Hope this helps.

meh not seeing the lake, it just looks kinda like a bubbly blob to me, but maybe that's just the sleep deprivation talking.

I'm digging the mexican fighter type guy, the details and shadowing in the face a top notch, but i think you could do better shadowing and lighting in the clothes other than just scribbles, but the scribbly shading looks good so i dunno.

you ever watch deathnote? just finished the series and i'm kinda bummed out. Man i need some sleep

its my one eyed monster, play with him now! >:(

i like this guy, he had testicles for a lower lip

well then i won't make fun of your fake beefiness again, put up new pictures!!

you my friend, are hairy

nice self portrait, it's got that great sketchy quality to it that you pull off really well

you sir, are the proverbial shit. You're style is pretty sick, i would like to see more small comic strip kinda pieces from you, instead of just posting doodles and single characters. Just small strips, i'm interesting in seeing you push the box dynamic that goes along with doing a strip

guys don't need nipples anyway

what happened to the other thread? did it get shut down by the fuzz?

aaaah, you would be correct

this one is amazing!! The color and detail is sick! not so much a fan of your last post, it lacks he detail and style your other pieces had that made them interesting.

welcome to the forum :) i'll be sure to follow your thread

haven't seen you in a bit, i'm really digging those characters to the right, your stuff just keeps getting better!

hey luis, mine just came in the mail today, when do you want it by?

Another nifty little shirt design, just an old stencil i put on dyed shirt.

what do you think? Something you might buy?

uhm, just as a heads up bee tee dubs, i'm looking into selling prints and shirts online...so if you want anything, it might be possible to get them for a modest fee in the near future

yeah i'll agree, nothing to special about it

which sketchbook, and please sir read the rules of the forum before making a thread

yeah theres buttons in the store, he's not gonna sell mine though.

and i wanted his socks to be pink so i made his pants grey so they would stand out, maybe i'll make his pockets pink in the next run

lack of skillz?!?! No such thing, everyone is talented, some just have more than others, and the more you draw the more you get! How about we not abandon this thread then?

i like the texture of his nose...not so much the light grey lines in his mustache, nothing else is outlined but the light grey lines in his mustache make it look outlined

no problem...you could always you know...return the favor....>-> <-<

if your not to busy that is

and you still never answered if you used brushes or drew the flourishes yourself.

i'm just poking fun at you :-P it's a good drawing don't take me the wrong way

i don't think it's hard to draw yourself, it just depends on how you draw, i think it's really hard to draw myself realistically, but that's partly because i can't draw realistically very well, but i still have done some self-portraits that i think are awesome.

i know, why can't they do their jobs and just bother minorities?

why did the other sprint trials fail?

ha ha, you must look underneath the beefcake and the dashing good looks in order to see the REAL me!

XD
