Thanks guys! I love that so many people are contributing and keeping this thread alive! Everything from ceramics to poetry, I love it.

I just finished that thing above:

Two different color grades and exposures of a greyscale painting. I couldn't decide between them. I usually spend way to long playing with color balances
 
I think I agree. Way more cinematic looking. The composition is already far too cluttered, and adding more colours and sharper value transitions with the second one just makes it really chaotic looking and unorganized, also it makes my photo texture overlays way more obvious and awkward looking (it was my first try combining photo textures with paitings). You kind of get lost and confused in the foreground in general. In the first, the foreground is simple and flatter, and the contrast is mostly in the background/landscape, which breaks you out of an otherwise confusing and horrible foreground area. However cliche, I think the lens flares add something :P

It's always really useful to look back and critique your work. If you are getting discouraged because after finishing and working really hard you aren't happy with any of your work, don't worry, it means you're improving. The only way to improve is to fail repeatedly.
 
Thanks! This technique is called rotoscoping. You draw over each frame individually to get the style you want. I made this by taking individual pictures then opening each one in photoshop, coloring the actor, then adjusting the threshold of the background. This was at 10 frames per second and the video took about 900 unique frames.

Many early Disney movies were made by rotoscoping over actors, which takes forever and really made me respect animation even more.
 
^the movie called "waking life" is all done entirely in that style and is about lucid dreaming if you want to check it out
 
i didnt make it but i would assume an absurd amount of time even though he simplicised the shadows, i could never imagine doing an entire rotoscope of a video. props to him on the patience
 
Alright guys, need a little help.

So i never really got into the whole different hardness of pencils, but I know that if I can start to use them I can start to get better. If anyone has any tips on which ones, how, or any links to videos and stuff, thatd be great. I'm not horrible at pencil, I just need help because theyre all .5 mechanical.

Examples: The one with colored pencil is pencil that I colored after

636674.jpeg636675.jpeg636673.jpeg

 
i have a set that ranges from 6H to 8B the higher number in H is a harder pencil so less graphite will be put on the paper which will give it a lighter color. The higher number in B is softer and will put more graphite on the paper which will make it darker. HB is just a middle pencil. use highlights with H's and shadow with B's
 
i know most of you guys actually draw but i am better with photoshop than i am with a pencil and this is my latest creation:636755.png

i'm not really sure what it is as it was something that i didn't plan to make, it just came out, so you're free to think of it as whatever you want. i made the entire robot out of only speakers, a shitload of them mind you. it's supposed to be for an album cover but i like it too much to give away
 
i like this, i would make some more in depth commentary but I would rather not risk the possibility of being a pretentious douche. anyways the one thing i don't like is the grey lines in the foreground/ grass area, get those out of there, other wise it looks pretty sick I know you don't want to but it definitely would work well for an album cover, maybe you can sell it to someone for one.
 
thank you dude! fuck those grey lines aren't supposed to be there. that would be the result of me rushing the clone stamping job. thanks for pointing that out!
 
I like the one you posted before hand better. No clue what you were aiming for as I feel these could be very open to interpretation but from the first one I get the vibe of like a flying pirate ship headed into docking at some station. That being said, the dark/eeriness of the oranges and reds you used in the first version fit my interpretation much better.

don't get me wrong though, both are incredibly dope.

Whoever is posting ceramics stuff, your work is absolutely insane. I love throwing but I'm nowhere near as talented as you are. My main issue is glazing, I always fuck up glazes, and I REALLY mean fuck them up. None come out smooth and glossy for some reason (maybe I'm using the wrong type or too many/few coats?) either way any suggestions would be helpful.

latest writing

The crunching of glass on pavement echoes off

broken dream shelters and white siding

With the wavering street light's company

to guide a misled trip around arbor circle

He walks like a ghost down alleyways

and through the walls of his streets

while their eyes watch from second-floor safety

He's been stringing their words along for miles

to find his way back home

He stops and with a sigh he shoves his hands into his pockets

the warm rain cascading now over unforgiving pavement

onto the landscape below

He can feel them watching his ashen face

He can feel their gaze right through his frame

along with their speculations of that ruined spirit

who walks the streets at night

Letting out the breath;

It doesn't matter if they kill him first

because he knows he'll never die

 
one more that i forgot to post up... I'm definitely gonna edit this one

"It's human nature," she said

but I couldn't hear her over the sound of salty waves

the dripping of blood along blue tile

rain pouring over some imperfect reason

She may have called out "I love you"

but I couldn't hear her over my own screaming

in order to block out the silence I feared so much

Put down the perfect glass lens

kill the current that feeds our weary eyes

and cut the circle you've lived inside

stop reading into my veins and every beat of this shallow heart

close two doors and open your life

close your eyes

goodnight

 
+Karma to anybody who posts or pm's me what they think this poem is about/what kind of feelings they get from the poem

a kiss under the blankets in the summer

and the warm showers rolling off of the coastal breeze

then the voices through the receiver

overlooking the sunrise on the seas

a girl on a horse who can't find the off switch to her smile

photographs of unparalleled pride

it's the ignorance of the wind-stung words

that keeps her soul alive

sarcasm never went well over the phone

so i keep her guessing and she pushes me around

we lose ourselves to fear of summer departure

but keep shy glances to the ground

sound sweeps through my tissue and bones

until the life i built melts over the sea

i can't quite put my finger on it

but it's everything i wanted it to be
 
Love this man. The colors are awesome and everything just flows together perfectly. Would love to keep seeing more of your stuff! I'm going to have to post some of my work on here, although nothing like yours.
 
thanks man, i'm glad you like it!

keep checking back on this thread occasionally, i post all my writing in here. theres much more to come, but at the same time theres quite a bit on previous pages. most of the stuff i write does not rhyme so it may seem different from the one above but hopefully you'll like them regardless!
 
the pen shattered every solitary dream he had ever hadas it fell thunderously to the tile floor

and the song that forced reevaluation of values

brought twenty years knocking at his door

they shook hands with a murderous look in both their eyes

before silence voiced its say

and in a moment they both knew the secret

so they smiled and turned away

with the slam of the balcony door

the boy picked up a new pen

shoving aside the history notes

he rewrote his story yet again

Really like your stuff! Would post some of my own poems, but they are all in german, so I doubt a lot of people would understand them...

Unless you still want me to ofc, then I will post some
 
1.)

In vielen Menschen lodert Hass,

Krieg wütet ohne Unterlass

Angst und Schrecken wird verbreitet ,

durch Terrorismus ausgeweitet

So mancher sich die Frage stellt,

was läuft nur schief in dieser Welt

In einem kleinen dunklen Zimmer

Hockt ein Mädchen, schuftet schwer

Von nebenan hört man Gewimmer

Dort steht ein Junge mit Gewehr

So mancher sich die Frage stellt,

was läuft nur schief in dieser Welt

Über eine grüne Wiese

weht Nachmittags ein sanfter Wind

Und ohne Kummer, ohne Sorgen

spielt freudig dort ein kleines Kind

Ein Lachen das Gesicht erhellt

Noch ist perfekt, des Kindes Welt

Something about war and children in war

2.)

Man sagt die Zeit heilt alle Wunden

Das Gegenteil kann ich bekunden

Denn lang schon sitzt in meinem Herz

Ein scheinbar unheilbarer Schmerz

Du bist scheints ewig schon

verschwunden

Doch hab ichs noch nicht überwunden

Drum scheint dein Antlitz hell und klar

in meinen Träumen wunderbar,

wie ein strahlend schönder Stern

Herrlich, unerreichbar fern

Die Hoffnung bleibt, der Schmerz

vergeht,

erst wenn mein Auge dich erspäht

Doch ist dein Schicksal ungewiss

So bleibt in meinem Herz ein Riss

Didnt really want to translate them, maybe someone will understand anyway. My english really isnt good enough to find a suitable translation. Sorry for that, maybe I will try later.
 
1.)

In many people the hate blazes,

without pause the war rages

fear and terror are spread

by terrorism they are fed

Some ask for all it's worth,

what has gone wrong on this earth

In a room dark and small,

a girl slaves away coy,

from next door a whinging falls,

there with his gun stands a young boy

Some ask for all it's worth,

what has gone wrong on this earth

Over a green meadow,

an afternoon wind softly blows,

without grief or worry,

a child frolics by the rose

Across the child's face a smile is set,

their perfect world is not yet upset
 
2.)

It is said that time heals all pain

but the opposite I wish to claim

for since a long time in my heart

this grief my body shall not part

For an eternity you seem to have disappeared

yet still this fate I have not cleared

so always your face shines clear and bright

I encounter you in my dreams at night

such a beautiful sight I have met

magnificent, impossible to get

The hope stays, the pain erased,

when my eye looks upon you

it's uncertain what destiny holds

inside my heart this pain grows old
