Your artwork is amazing and every piece is new and original. Keep it up.

this was my entry for "Chow 20 JKnight" in case you missed it. I know he doesn't look like a jedi, probably because i've never seen a star wars movie. let's just say he's an old strong dude with 2 flashlights looking for stuff in the woods.

bad ass stuff man. I'll be checking this thread regularly because think I may have a new favorite NG artist. keep up with the good work (and get some more flash done will ya?).

this is a cropped view of my Chow 22 entry (Devil's Advocate)...I, of course, cropped out the parts I don't like yet.

This one's hilarious. You have a good sense of humor and you seem to easily transition from one style to another. Keep it up.

thanks for the posi-feedback. to the comment about doing more flash stuff- my next toon is in progress.
anyways here is the face for my Chow 22 entry. trying to figure out a background, or if i'm doing one at all.

your art is pretty good and i think its great you are trying out different mediums and styles. way to go. explore stuff and try out different stuff. yet i have to admit i prefer your cartoon style the most.

I love this picture! The cropped view actually looks great by itself, like a panel from a horror comic book. Really skillfully painted, you're a very versatile artist.

finished it. chow 22 entry. the lower right is a portal to heaven from hell! righteous!

do you sell your work? You could totally sell your work! This stuff doesn't belong on newgrounds! It belongs in a GALLERY! What are you still doing here?

Looks fantastic. Just wondering, what does "Teirg Ellud" mean?

that's the character's name. it's "Dulle Griet" backwards. Dulle Griet is this old painting of a female soldier who goes insane, and goes down to hell and kills everything. pretty bad-ass.
Thanks for the feedback.

Here's a fun little project for you to do with some art buddies.
I recently got a letter through snail-mail from one of my friends who is a printmaker. She had made a little ink drawing with a note that said "draw something on here and send it back".

I drew the two people with the crazy hair. I assume this will go back and forth until we finish the card.

p.s. 100 posts go me

I absolutely love the artwork you've brought. The shading is spectacular, and the shadowing is as well. I love your individual style throughout all the pictures. Keep it coming <3

Fantastic so far, keep it up :)

great work my friend.

YEAH US GINGERS ARE UNSTOPPABLE..... except for the cursed sun haha
your stuff is rocking my socks dude

So I entered a piece into the calendar thing. I started it the day before it was due, then I slept on it, and completely changed my idea.
I could've gone the 'eye-candy' ultra super rendered route, but I took the "We want to see your style!" comment on the rules page to heart, and thus is why I made Bitey the way I did. I didn't have time to add some things I wanted, like foliage, plants, etc, but you get the idea. The jpeg in the forum looks terrible so hit up this link to see a good quality version & my first idea:
THREADWOOD'S NG CALENDAR ENTRY

updates. this was my entry for the "New Art Contest!" where contestants were to draw their fears. i made it specifically for that contest. i had some nice blues in it which got a little muted in the jpeg. gaypeg.
also, i'm finally in the thick of a new flash toon. i'm trying to keep my progress posted here.

rice and peas.

if you want to be an illustrator you've gotta take all the jobs you can get. this was a side project i did for a local children's center. it's a 12-page comic book about a superhero who makes sure kids are being safe. i got the samples today. hooray.

Sexay

I wish I was an illustrator, well....sometimes

Wow these kind of comics were always so cheesy. XD
Way to go dude, I think it's all great! Keep it up!
I love how you draw in many different styles, a lot of artists have difficulty with that. (Like me... XP)

Another work in progress. going to sculpt a little holiday scene, photograph it, and send it out to animation/illustration companies worldwide. wish me luck on finishing it.

You drew this one very well. The only thing I notice that is a little awkward is the left foot (the closest one).

Good job on all of your drawings.

don't have any FINISHED recent work, so thought i'd bump this with some sketchbook pages, because why not??
MICRON!

'nother sketchbook page.

wow those are really cool good job threadwood

got to love all your work cause it rocks

Wow you have extremely instense pencil skill. I love your work, I like to see more please!!!

Reallu excellent and inspiring stuff. This is what I aim to draw like in the future. You'd be the ideal partner to work with for the cartoon I have planned. May I ask how and where you learned your craft. I need to know what's a good art course to take in order to draw and paint reallistically. Thanks. Keep on posting your stuff.

as always, thanks for the comments.

my advice to you is to take all of the figure drawing classes you can. those classes, without a doubt, are what helped me the most. there's nothing harder to draw than the human figure, so once you get that down, you got it made in the shade. and experiment as much as you can. even when you find a medium you like (paints, charcoal, pens, etc) force yourself to try something new. same thing goes for techniques for rendering, linework, etc. then, you can combine all those techniques and make awesome, exciting stuff without pigeon-holing yourself into a single style (anime, for example)! and sketch a lot! i come across a lot of cool new ideas to represent stuff by accident, just by doodling. so that's my lecture.

if you ever want to collaborate on a toon, just let me know. i'm always open to cool projects!
