I'm a bit hesitant to post this topic, in case I'm the only one who draws or writes, but...does anybody want to show off some stuff they do in their spare time, maybe? :)

Or do I have to post some of my own images? :giggle:

Yeah I do painting and I some times write stories....I show some at a later date as I have to depart just the now.

Yay! Sounds good Caz. :)

Nice banner in your sig, btw. :P

It is coming peeps but all my art works on A3 paper...to big for the scanner :lol:

Ok...heres a sketch of a pegasus I did pffttt.....3 years ago!


:rolleyes:

Is it just me or has it not loaded up properly?

I don't think the images can be above 150 x 150 pixels; or is that just for the avatar? Anyway try down sizing it on photo editing software if it's not coming out properly.

CD design done for a project....ignore the dodgy cutting in the letters!

I hate art roflmao

The CD design is really cool!

I wish I could draw :(

That Pegasus is just awesome. :D

And the CD cover is nice, too. I don't suppose it was for a single called Trains, was it?

One of the characters from my novel, named Jessica. She's meant to be someone very bright, upbeat and kindhearted, but someone who also shoulders far too many burdens to be healthy for her, as she tries to help others far too much.



Another rough sketch, of someone else in my novel, who doesn't normally show his face!



Another one named Olivia Telles, a new character I've just introduced in the novel.

These are the kind of things I do, simple line drawings followed by an inordinate amount of shading...unfortunately it takes me aaaages to draw. :(

But yeah! That's some of my stuff. I mostly do character art for my own novel. :)

your writing a novel? :o

I can't draw at all; i was absolutely terrible at art

Yup, I'm in the middle of writing it, hehe.

And drawing just takes practise, really. :)

Good drawings. Silver..!

I guess that you might be into Anime/ Manga??

Hehe, sure am. :) I like loads of anime, it's kinda where I started drawing- perhaps it shines through a bit into my drawings. :P

And thank you. :)

Wow silver there awsome!
great sketches and from the sounds of it the novel's shaping up nicely!

Heh, thank you very much. :)

Those sketches are terrific Silver :o :clap:

Have you got a title for your novel?

Yup yup! It's a working title (hence the cheese :P), but it's called 'A New Era'.

That's the first one, at any rate...300 pages currently, and that might go up once I proofread it. The sequel's not finished yet, around 280 pages with four chapters still to go.

Yep, I've had too much time over the last two years. :P

Also, nice to see you again Dav! I think we spoke a few times on the BBC, before you left for a while- how are you? :)

Well congrats :clap: I wish I could write a novel, I can't seem to get past 'Once upon a time...' roflmao

Yeah, I think you joined here when I went to the States a while back, nice to see you again :)

Hehe, thanks man! It just takes (too much) time, and being willing to soldier ahead on MS Word despite an obvious lack of talent, especially in my case. ;)

'tis nice to see you as well, hope you had a fun time in the states. :D

I dabble a bit:
But Silver your art is awesome, and my daughter loves manga/anime feel free to post load more...

My inferior efforts....

I do a lot of poetry. I find it very calming :D

I do some painting as well, but i could never show them on here. They're a bit bizarre to put it midly roflmao

That's cool dl!

I did a few Kylie paintings... not to be stereotypically gay or anything.. :D

In fact I'll see if I still have pics of em

Found em.. did these a few years ago..
i got bored with the first one so just whacked the blue colour in as a background as couldn't be assed to finish :P

they are quite big box canvas paintings... First one was sold on Ebay and friends have the others







edit: The brush work ain't great as these were the first painting I had done since college.. and I ain't done anymore since :P

I'm sure Kylie has appeal for most blokes.... ;)

She is a VERY, VERY, VERY sexy woman... Dannii is too... something in their genes...

Crikey Trisc they are outstanding.........

*swoon*

What a talented bunch we have here, you should put them on DA...

No argument there...

Cheers Styeff..

I do like em myself but as I hadn't painted for a while, I see many things on them that ain't great.. brushwork and choice of colour etc..

I do enjoy painting and art but don't have the time or patience these days.. something for later in life I think

Trisc they are fantastic!!!! :bow: :bow:

*nods in agreement*

Some very good works of art in this thread...

I am a guy who aspires to write a novel. Unfortunately, the sad truth is that I can't write. I lack creativity and writing skills. I also happen to be impatient and try to get away with the minimum amount of work, so all in all, I'm shite, really. I'm a bit like Adrian Mole: we both think that we are intellectuals, that we will one day become famous and that we are destined to become writers. Except that Adrian does at least work hard on his novel.
The truth is, our destiny lies in a society that fights for amphibians' rights.

Some great sketches from Silver in this thread :bow:

great anime art.

Anyone taken a looky at my stuff?

http://styeffo.deviantart.com/

Did you do that stuff Steff?
I think that they're all great, especially, the two oldest ones :D

i think you've got Death off to a tee, having said that i thought he might be darker, and his his hands don't look big enough to wield the axe he's holding, maybe that's way the population keeps rising-he's having difficulty with his chopper.

Take a looky
