Are you an artist? What do you do and why? - VGF

Dusty · 05-11-2005, 02:25 PM

Yes, come now and answer the all-important questions! Also, samples wanted.

Codiekitty · 05-11-2005, 03:39 PM

I'm a cartoonist. I do it for fun.

Where are these lemmings going? The Super Nintendo Super Shire! Hop in line and follow them there!

Curly Brace · 05-11-2005, 05:10 PM

I'm a Pianist (Sorry, No sample) and I draw in a cartoony manner. I'm also a little bit of a Graphic Drawer (See Jeff) and a starting chef. XD

**Kargath** · 05-11-2005, 05:58 PM

I'm a 3D artist, mostly because I can't shade things by hand >_<

Beam Yosho the Drunkard · 05-11-2005, 07:07 PM

A bit of a cartoonist and pixel artist. (Want to see my stuff? Go here. )

I do it just for fun, as well. I WAS going for graphics design in college, but I'm starting to have second thoughts on that.

StarryPeach · 05-11-2005, 09:17 PM

I don't consider myself an artist, but I do dabble in that realm as a hobby.

I don't feel like an artist, although I do produce things that can be taken to be art. I do it mainly because it is a cheap and portable method to 'kill' time, as paper and pencil are usually within reaching distance.

Plus, I hear that girls like guys who can draw.

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 05-12-2005, 12:01 PM

You'd be right there, Ace [img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img]

Yeeees, I'm definitely an artist. My chosen skill, other than being wonderful! XD

Painting (acrylics on canvas) is my forte, I might put up some pictures again later or something. I'm still playing with watercolours, intend on working on them a bit when I have the time. You can all see my dragonfly when it finally gets completed. Other things to do beforehand.

Drawing, oh damn, this last one I did as a birthday present... I swear, I'm still in awe of myself. Now, you can't see it because not only would that mean the recipient would get a preview, but it's personal and not for you [img]tongue.gif[/img] The next thing I draw that's of similar vein, I'll try and show off some.

Craft/sewing/pottery/general creating is something I constantly do. Give me some little bits and pieces and I'll have made a strange but awesome little decoration in a little while. I've made jewellery (precious metals, beaded and other types), wall hangings, pots, bowls, a teapot (try making a spout on the wheel. go on, I dare ya.), you know... little things from cardboard and glued together and all sorts of trinkets. My hands are always busy.

Writing, well, I'm just under a third of the way through my novel (minimum word count as gauge for progress, it's only at the end of chapter three- there's another eight chapters to go!) and I throw together all sorts of little things. Wrote a poem just today. Again, you're so not seeing it *giggles*

Uhhh my hair and makeup are an artform at times. But that's just from boredom, or to take cool photos. Oh yea! I mess around a bit with picture editing programs, but in that instance, I've got nothing worthwhile showing. Always on the computer for a reason other than just playing, you know.

I would consider my work to be artistic on occasion. Mostly, I just work for visual appeal and the satisfaction of having something to do

I also write music, which I spend much more time on. I really value the process, and in my opinion, feel that art should lead to the general improvement of life. I don't like it to hold much pretense.

I usaully do pixel art... Like this.

;P

That's oekaki, not pixel art. Major difference.

Alink - VCR Man. VCR. · 05-16-2005, 06:13 AM

Oekaki?

Could you go into more depth? I've never heard of that before.

***Ace Mercury*** · 05-16-2005, 10:12 AM

^ Definition of oekaki on Urban Dictionary. Although I wouldn't call your stuff oekaki per se, more like art drawn with MS Paint (no offense intended).

mushroom · 05-16-2005, 12:56 PM

Acid/ambient. Or both.

Definitely similar in appearance to oekaki, but oekaki is defined more in process than in end result.

Beam Yosho the Drunkard · 05-16-2005, 09:48 PM

And you can draw oekaki in MS Paint, as well.

***Heroine of the Dragon*** · 05-17-2005, 07:50 AM

I don't consider myself an artist but I love to draw. In graphic pencils. I do feel quite pleased with my portraits of the few people I have wished to draw and I like to draw, what I term, "things-with-wings". The 'why' can be explained as, it's a good way to express oneself...

Aside from some sounds being a little too rough, I like it. Interesting manipulations.
