I'm... not too great with faces. These are kinda old. I have some more old faces should you want to see them. I need a lot more practice on them.

This was for a sculpture class, actually. We had to draw so many faces for whatever reason, but because I'm an engineering student I got sidetracked and drew a guy with a tentacle instead of a jaw, and then what was originally supposed to be Robocop but turned into some generic space fantasy guy.

Pen & sketchbook paper

Done between customers at my job, by request of somebody I work with. Tried to draw like a fourth grader again, came out pretty good.

Pens & sketchbook paper.

Now that that's out of the way (thanks ReNaeNae), welcome to my art thread. I rarely if ever finish anything, so most of these are going to be little doodles that collect in my sketchbook or stuff that I do in paint. When possible, I'll try and fill you in on what mediums and media I use. I'm not an art student, so forgive me if I screw up the lingo or make up my own fantastical phrases to describe things.

I don't have ready access to a scanner right now, so updates are gonna be sporadic. I'd eventually like to get a tablet, but we'll see how that goes.

I make no guarantees of the future work-safeness of this thread.

First up, something recent. Pencil & sharpies, sketchbook paper.

GOD DAMMIT ART FORUM
YOU RUIN EVERYTHING.

If we say "pimp" enough, he'll post eventually.

I live in NY. I've been to or through: NJ, PA, NC, SC, MD, WV, VA, DE, OH, and IN.

I've also been to GA and FL, but I was too young to remember, and Ontario.

Because there are 5 new submissions a day on the front page, right?

Those are... pretty bad. It means you're slightly above average in writing, slightly below average in reading, and well below average in math.

And if you're going to point out a lot of little flaws and say "oh this sucks boo hoo", then I suggest you start with the first two, which were far from perfect.

It's the early stages of the war. John is essentially a celebrity, but he doesn't much rank. You think his men are going to be raising packs of dogs when they can barely feed themselves? They make finding food a big part of the movie. Dogs require a lot of food. Upon seeing the plans for the flesh-covered robot, and confirming that they do, in fact, exist, there's a good chance John's superiors would put some sort of dog rearing plan in place.

Had they not made this movie, nobody would have been upset. But now that they have, they're fucked up the first two films... because now when I see Kyles nightmare sequence all I'm going to think is "it's nothing like that"... which completly sucks.

There was some fighting that went on at night. I'm sure there's a reason they don't go out at night, which is probably why Reese has nightmares about night.

Are you sure about that... Kyle is Johns father. Kyle and John meet cause of Marcus. Kyle gets sent back in time because of John. John would have died before being able to send Kyle back if Marcus hadn't given up his heart. Marcus was a trap to try to kill both John and Kyle.

He was pretty important... you'd think they'd talk about all of this, or at least mention it in passing. Logically, If I was kyle, I'd tell Sarah to tell John that in 2018, I'd be living in LA and Marcus is a trap... making everything that happened in T4 non-existant and saving everybody a lot of trouble.

Logically, if you want to be a real bitch about the first movie, you'd tell Sarah that the apocalypse was going to happen in august 1997. Because that's when he tells her it's going to happen. You're dealing with time travel, there's a lot to be said about alternate timelines and things of that nature. As much as I despised T3, it still brought up some fair points.

Movie wise, it was a pointless aspect that didn't need to be added to the story... they could have still made a movie about the war, without creating the organ based trap robot built out of the remains of a death-row inmate. I found it all kind of silly.

I found it all kind of... unsettling.

He wouldn't have needed to worry about Marcus at all had Skynet just crushed Kyle instead of gently placing him in a holding cell. The movie should have ended at the Jeep sequence and man kind should have lost.

I'm pretty sure they were trying to lure John Connor to Skynet to kill the both of them, in the instance that the Kyle Reese sent back in time was a different Kyle Reese than the one in the movie, or used a pseudonym, or something retarded like that. Why they needed him alive, I have no idea. But without it, there wouldn't have been much of a movie.

It's the same reason they didn't send a nuclear bomb wrapped in flesh in the first movie to nuke Sarah and everyone else in the city.

It wasn't a terrible movie... it just wasn't worth paying any money for. Plus, I thought Christian Bale sucked as John Conor. He's not that great of an actor, if you ask me.

Yeah... I guess he made an okay transitional John Connor. The John Connor between whiny emo kid and hardened war general.

The ones that are killed with bullets are generally killed by a lot of high-caliber bullets concentrated on a weak spot, like when John takes the helicopter mounted machine gun and shoots off about a thousand rounds in it's face/neck from five feet away.

In T4, Reese goes back in 2018.

He... he doesn't go back at all in T4.

I loved Terminator Salvation. Maybe it's because I'm a fan of the movies, and T3 was complete shit. Sarah Connor Chronicles was shit, too. Salvation was definitely a late 80's/early 90's movie at heart, with parts of it being acceptably cheesy. It did an amazing job of portraying the early stages of the post-nuclear future, and it made the terminators terrifying again.

I could pick apart most of the criticisms in this thread, but I have better things to do.

Life, when the heck is this and should I attend?

Hm.. I may be able to convince some people to go.

That is because the angry face is the mascot of the BBS, and has been around forever.

madcow wtf you doin

One one side of me is a graveyard. Nothin' coming from there. The other side is a really shit neighborhood for gang violence and mugging (apparently?) but everyone in our neighborhood owns very, very large dogs, so we've got a very nice place surprisingly.

Hahaha, ha.

Get a job. Buy all the damn coke you want.

Action is sort of the larger genre, and most of those other things are subgenres.

Um... Mirror's Edge?

Philly's almost definitely going to be better, but I can't afford the 160 dollars for round-trip bus fare and a ticket. :/

I don't have the 130 dollars for bus tickets. D:

Eff it. I'll probably just go to NYC, bring my mom so she can go shopping and check out the city, and just I'll probably just stop in to the NG thing.

Bro pound.

I'm going to vote 0 on your movies if there isn't an option to turn off animation. Seriously, I don't want your animation interrupting my looking at a static, unmoving screen.
