"Post your Art" Thread

  • 🔧 Actively working on site again.
Can't remember if I ever showed this here. It was an old comic strip, one I took so long with. I was trying desperately to learn how to format, to draw in perspective. And also, to ink it just right. It's been a while since I've inked a strip like this. Maybe sometime I'll do it again.

I've been doing much more watercoloring then comicing done lately, so I've only got one page of So You Think You're A Cartoonist? this time. (I live in a little tourist trap beach town and I'm going to try and sell some scenery paintings to tourists this summer.)Last page coming soon!

Are you going too be hosting these together somewhere when you're done? I have some friends who would get a kick out of reading this.
 
perseus_to_the_rescue_by_brandonspilcher-d8zpxip.jpg

In Greek mythology, Perseus was a son of Zeus who became the first of the heroic demigods. He's best known for lopping off Medusa's head and starring in the Clash of the Titans movies (both the Harryhausen original and the Sam Worthington reboot), but his second most famous feat is his rescuing the princess Andromeda from Poseidon's pet sea monster Cetus.

Unfortunately traditional portrayals of Andromeda in European art have tended to "whitewash" her, with the movies even depicting her as a blonde Northern European. But in the original mythology, she was identified as a princess of "Aethiopia", which meant "burnt faces" in the Greek language and most commonly addressed the kingdom of Kush in the Nubian region of Sudan (which of course is in Africa). So here's my effort to rectify this by depicting Andromeda as a Kushite princess would most probably have looked.

the_first_kung_fu_fighter_by_brandonspilcher-d8zr640.jpg

So I have sketched here a prehistoric Chinese (Huanxi) character named Huang Di who becomes the world's first kung-fu fighter. Actually he develops his martial arts skills after slavers ship his teenage self off to Africa, where he escapes to the ancient kingdom of Zembwe (don't Google that; I made it up) and trains to join their elite warriors' ranks. Along the way he develops an intimate relationship with Queen Kunashe (pictured to the left here). But when the day for his final test comes, he jeopardizes his future by giving the undesired answer to his trainer's question, an answer based on his strong, culturally instilled beliefs. Can Huang Di recover his dream and fight his way back into the Zembwean forces? And what of the slavers whom he escaped from?

This sketch is reaaaaaaal rough and is a personal character I wanted to draw for a while. His story is in the spoiler.

This thing really feels like a 15 year old's DA Original character Do not Steal (TM) but I wanted to make a bounty hunter type character for a game so here is Morbo. Once I get the pose and tattered clothing down he's going to have skulls and hair embedded in his flesh. I'm a huge fan of things that are deformed or monstrous so I couldn't jsut let it be an athletic dude in torn clothing. Where's the fun in that?

This is not at all the pan-themed vigilante I had in mind when I started out.

Is he pansexual though? :D

The 4th of July has already passed this year, but here's my overdue celebration of it for 2015. Whenever one of these "patriotic all-American" holidays comes up, I'm always inspired to draw with a Native American theme in mind. You can't get more American than the people who settled this country first, can you?

Obviously there's a great deal of artistic license in this image. I know the Great Plains Natives hadn't acquired horses yet when the mammoths were still around. I also don't think there were many female warriors within historically documented Plains societies, but who knows what kind of gender roles prehistoric ones had in the preceding ~14,500 years? I simply wanted to draw a female Plains warrior with a warbonnet on horseback with mammoths ambling behind her.

I like how you incorporated red, white, and blue into her attire. It was a nice touch.

Totally, I've been trying to draw my friend this Samus Aran commission and I keep restarting because I hate everything about it whenever I try to draw it but then when I start something else as practice it's like the best thing I've ever done, especially if it's another drawing of Samus. It's weird.
