Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I actually only vaguely remember doing this one. It was like, 3 a.m. , and I was super tired.

I'm pissed at how the marker bled near the centrefold, ugh.

I was thinking to myself, about this fresh revitalization of feminism on the internet. I'm keen on that, but at the same time, it bugs me a little that in most contemporary artistic depictions of strong females, they are more often than not sporting the stereotypical short hair, buzz, mohawk, peircings etc.
I'm not saying those are wrong, its just that the REAL strong women in MY life (who are way more and hardcore than any of these fantasy ladies), have no need to go out of their way to LOOK like this, and STILL they get all the respect and love in the world from me and those around them. Just my two cents.

And then look what I went ahead and did, I kind of completely ignored what I just said when I drew this, ugh. Whatever, her armor is practical as hell.

This is my favorite digital piece I've done.
I think its about Silent Hill

There was something meaningful about this one, but I forgot.

Diversity is important. I'm tired of the hundreds of generic pretty-boy animu faces that kids draw these days. So here

I have a tablet. This is that hatchet guy that was cool a month ago.

This is a weird portrait of my friend. Don't ask how I know what his pubes look like.

Ignore the stupid right arm. I was doodling at work and the boss came 'round and I had to hastily scribble it.

You mentioned that the last two are redesigns of video game characters. Mind to share which game? Or is it something you are working on, that is not released yet?

I'm just being a sarcastic douche, but it's from Super Mario Brothers. Thanks for the kind words!

Frog:

I made a few redesigns of some characters from that video game no one has ever heard of:
Mushroom

Her jaw is actually split into two halves. I have been told it looks like a monster from Borderlands, which happens to be a game I haven't played yet, so I assure you no plagiarism took place here.

The concept behind this one was that the ribs serve as an extension of the rows of teeth.

Also, I suck at any type of html, coding or related computer skills, so please excuse the formatting you're about to endure:

I made this guy. He is mine. Her name is "The Anchorman".

I don't have as much in the way of style or technical skill, but I'd like to think I make up for it with my imagination.
Let me know what you think. I'd like to sell these as prints on DA, but I guess I'm testing the waters first, and seeing if any of you would think that's not a good idea or whatever.

My sentiments as well.

I would love to buy it in a different color.

Which color? I'm allowed to submit more than one. Of course, if it doesn't win, I can always put it up on Zazzle.

Hello again, and I apologize in advance for my selfish personal spam.

This is for any of you fellows who have a DeviantArt account.
I could really use a hand right now.

I've entered the "8-bit Challenge" contest, and I could use some votes.
Is this one of the better 8-bit art you've ever seen? Not a chance. Its not even the best I've done. However, I designed this for the purpose of being worn on a hoodie, with simplicity and style in mind. There are many excellent pieces of 8-bit art on the DA contest page, but I've noticed that many of them are simply pieces of art slapped onto a hoodie template. Don't take my word for it though. Give me a vote if you would honestly wear it. Thanks very much in advance.

To go vote for mine, go here.

Dude, I think you're really misinterpreting the meaning of caricature. Even if you don't have time for anything more than a sketch, you can at least spend the time you're currently using trying to color, and better apply it to your concept and actual drawing. It looks like you're more interested in showing something about the personalities of these individuals, instead of actually caricaturizing them (I say "something" because honestly, no one here knows what that "thing" is). The faces themselves already bear little resemblance to the people in question, so I suggest spending your time drawing those instead of the rest of the portrait.

I tried him.

So, I need to make a little money to support myself while I continue my education.
If any of you are looking for some art for a school project, indie game, gift, or anything else,
please consider supporting me by ordering a commission. As stated, Prices are negotiable,
but I'm willing to be VERY reasonable. I can work in a variety of styles, so just give me some idea of
what it is you're looking for, and I will be able to pull it off for you. All payment must be made with PayPal in USD.

If you are interested, or would like a quote, PM me, or add me on Skype.

Proportions are important, even in cartoons. I've annotated this little doodle of how I would personally design the same character. Remember, personality is of the utmost importance. Try using eyes that express emotion better. Add ears, and give the head a slightly more realistic shape. Also, if you can't draw hands already, practice. It is vital, and will benefit you in the long run. I promise. I drew a simple set of hands you may use as a reference.

Here's one. Ballpoint pen.

I'd like a get some opinions, tips and any criticism you can offer on a pencil drawing I did of a predator a couple weeks ago. Predator Details and materials are on the linked page. Thanks very much for your time.

All the best

Not too bad as far as general quality goes, but if you want this to stand out as ART, as opposed to a sketch or doodle, I'd suggest adding a TON of value. This means a lot more shading, and causing the shape of the character to gain a three-dimensional quality. If you 're really serious about creating mood, at least make up a solid background to accentuate the "dark" feeling. Also, you may consider adding heavy shadow, completely obscuring the form in some areas. This will cause the important areas to stand out more.

I'm looking to make some portfolio pieces before I head out to college. Therefore, I'm completely okay with the prospect of not getting paid for a while. Check out my profile for some examples of my work, you'll see that I'm fairly capable at drawing in different styles. Let me know what you think and then PM me. I'd prefer to work over skype.

PM me, get on Skype, and this will be done.

I currently use a Wacom Bamboo, because they're the cheapest name brand floating around, and it's good quality stuff. But if you're looking for cheap AND high quality, look for the Monoprice brand.
Unfortunately, mine completed it's life cycle a few months ago, which prompted me to buy the bamboo, but it lasted me a solid three years, and it was remarkable. I'd still buy another if I had the cash.
They come in all sizes, have 1200 pressure levels, and are really sturdily made. The best part was that it only cost $30 minus shipping. $30 is an absolute STEAL my friend.

If you are bent on going with Wacom, Go for the Intuos if you can. It's pricey, but much more professional. If you want the very best of the best, get a Cintiq. It's basically a tablet with a screen, so the whole mental bridge between tablet and actual drawing surface is removed. It'll cost a whole crapton, but it is definitely worth it. And finally, if you're on a budget, get the Bamboo. Keep in mind that they sell "Bamboo Pen", "Bamboo Touch", and "Bamboo Pen and Touch".
They're a bit tricky about this, so let me explain. "Pen" is exclusively for drawing. "Touch" is an overpriced external trackpad. "Pen and Touch" combines the two. Now, if you're serious about art, you'll want to get the "Pen and Touch". Despite the fact that they include the unnecessary "Touch" part, you'll notice that in the specs, the "Pen and Touch" contains TWICE the levels of pressure sensitivity. This is key.

My first drawing on my bamboo. I wanted to try out a more "painterly style".
If I get a few replies, I'll post more, but for now, this is it.
Visit my DA if you want.
