~>ART GEEK!
I don't have pictures (yet) of everything I've done, but, uh, here are a few.
"A Pirate's Life For Me"

Self portrait! I'm kidding. May not show because of the pic, but it's actualy my best shading. It's just fantastic.
"Fallen Warrior"

Cloud Strife. He just rocks. I hand drew that (with all seriousness), outlined it with black, painted it, outlined it again, did the background, and re-redid the outline. Again. I like it, though.
"Zombie Butterfly"

Zombie Butterfly. This one was hung upside down at my art show. (It was my 'elective', of sorts, in the IB program. And yeah, it was a big deal, for me.) So I flipped the name tag upside down to match it.
"Perception"

This one is definitely one of my favorites. (WARNING: DEEP THOUGHTS FOLLOWING) It symbolizes how the line between good and evil is murky. Good, in the painting, is represented as the eagle wing and the bright colored collage. Evil is the black and red collage, and the dragon wing. I used this as part of my presentation, in which I proved a character could not be construed as totally evil.
That's all for now. I'll try to load up more eventually. ^^

Very Good Silver. I wish i can draw like that. I like the last one. It explained a lot, How a person isn't only good, but can be evil. A picture has million words.

B) Thanks! I'm actually uploading better pics of everything right now. The former ones were all taken by yours truly, and the ones I want up were taken by my art teacher. Needless to say, hers are much better. And besides, I know she's taken photos of everything I've done. (Well, almost. There is only one, but I'll deal with it later.) So yeah. As soon as my computer loads, they'll be up. ^^

Heh, a fellow Cloud fan, eh? :firedevil: It's been a while since I've seen another of our kind around, but gladly welcome. Now I may have to post some old fan-art in my art thread...
And I'd really like to see that Cloud pic of yours more clearly. That particular drawing of Nomura-san's is one of my favorite representations of Cloud, and from what I can make out in your tiny image, you did a good job re-producing it.

I can't wait, To see more, Silver!

Very nice! (My friend is obsessed with Cloud too) Nice Jack, Jack...;) I wish I could draw like that, too, but c'est la vie...

^^ THANKS EVERYONE!
Currently, I'm uploading everything into a new Photobucket account. Or a new picture account. I just need a cleaner one. And saying my computer is slow is like saying the world is small: it's a big understatement.
If anyone knows a really good site for uploading photos, it would be really, really useful. ^^

Hey everyone! Me again! MORE UPDATES!
If any of you want to see more of what I have up so far, I have two photobucket accounts: Constantine_J (old and messy; soon to be deleted) and TheDavyJonesCrododileMachine (new and little; ignore 'Accidents Happen (1)' for now, please). You can also see the fuller versions (yes, bigger!).
New Additions
I'm Wicked

Isn't it purty? The characters (torn black lines) are all pieces of my name in Japanese; the full bit can be seen in the right upper corner. And there are lyrics from my favorite musical. (Any guesses as to what it is?)
Fireworks

I took apart a thing of Mardi Gras beads, stuck the pieces in paint, and hit the canvas. Cool, huh?
A Pirate's Life For Me

Just the better version. ^^
