    Default Shoot for the Art

    This is something I have been wanting to do for a while now. This is my proposal for a thread to post visual art (rather than members start random threads over works they have done, that people rarely pay attention to anyways.)

    So if you have a drawing, sculpture, photo, sound bite, or other (anything other than video. that should be posted in the film section of the forum) show us here.

    My first post is this cartoon of myself, I did for my cartooning class.

    The 2nd one would be a great HDR photo. To bad its over-exposed. Throw it in PS and fix.

    Nelson, those photos are great, heck, all these photos are great.
    Ahhh, yet another reminder of how much I suck and how inspired I am to improve.









    The earth shot is gonna be completely redon using blender, so thats a rough first draft freeze frame, she's kinda wack. I built the 4 year olds mandalorian costume, and built the studio scale space shuttle and MLP.
    All are from my live action lego movie Luna, except for the star wars thingy.

    If that was not sarcasm nelson, it was one of the greatest compliments of my life, lol.

    No, I built her a couple years ago. The shuttle is a $40 model, everything else was mad from scratch. the srbs are pvc pipe and the EFT is a few 2 liter bottles of soda.







    I dont think my crew members had a freakin clue as to what I was doing that day. Come to think of it, most my crew members still dont lol.

    Thumbs up

    Man, I'm humbled by all of the visual talent. I don't know if this counts, but I do a different kind of shooting. (paint, to be exact.)

    Yeah, the movie is about 30-40 minutes in length. She will be out some time next year. Here is the only fully completed shot, screen grab, just a 2 second intro to one of the characters. But thousands of compositional shots are going into this thing, it will take a while, and I am still learning the 3d software for blender for a planet effect that comes VERY close to what you see in Armageddon and TF.



    The website is under construction I will update the website within a few weeks.


    I'll go away now : )

    R-TYPE, thats bad ass, me like : )

    Great work guys. Nelson, Jester, and Fantasy, you guys are rocking the block.

    R-type, that car stuff totally counts. I took a year of collision repair in hopes of having a costume auto shop with my friend. but those plains feel through so now, I am in sequential. but really hope to get back to the car stuff later in life, when I have more money. but, anyways. that's is a pretty car you got.

    oh, and here is some of the stuff I have been doing at school:

    Great work everyone!

    Well, I pretty much already think that writing is an art form too in a way and is what I do but what do you think ?

    Every picture or painting is art or not to the eye of the beholder so writing could be too to a certain extent.

    writing is definitely an art. you should create a writers corner in the Miscellaneous forum. I know, I would probably post some stuff.

    Thanks guys, that means a lot but it's in it's very early infancy to say the least.

    I'm waiting until I buy a new work desk and a new comfortable chair and then a new computer system but I hope to have all that up and running by January then I will start writing it on my new system.

    I have the rough idea in my head of course and I might write some things out on old fashioned paper too.

    It's based on a dream, literally, and in fact it was my first color dream.
