The 2d Art Thread

[Dr. Zedrich Heretic]

I have to say that I love the birthday one most Steamstress.  It has a nice comical flippant attitude and it makes me smile.  “Let me get that for you” *Kerfwooosh!*

Okay, so I’m easily amused.  Anyway, welcome and wonderful artwork.

[honeycat]

steamstress! I am loving the birthday cake picture, particularly his expression. Also, in case no-one has mentioned it to you, there is a thread for all us Aussie Steamies here
http://brassgoggles.co.uk/bg-forum/index.php?topic=400.0
if you are interested.

I too must concur that those are great works Ms. Steamstress, I too am fond of the Birthday one =)

I'm very much new here, and thought I'd post this-->
Made in Adobe Illustrator, using a tutorial I found here-->http://www.vladstudio.com/it/photoshoptutorials/tutorial.php?patek_philippe_watch_making_of



Mine doesn't do justice to the original in the tutorial, but it's my first attempt at digital cogs.

Nice stuff you people have here!
As soon as I'm capable of doing so,i'll post some of my steampunk-inspired arts.

[Omegasama]

Helo, guys, new here... I've been having a bunch of Steampunk inspired art lately... my Friends and I are RPing the "Space 1889" RPG and since that is a Steam/sci-fi RPG... Well, you can guess what the art has been.

Anyway, some art, some might make little sense due to it being part of the story.

[clockworkskull]

Wow  Thats some great inking work there on the colored one! I like them all, but i think the others would jump out more if you use some line width techniques. Plus the second panel has the angle that is the type that you don't want because it brings to mind something better left unsaid. But you did a good job keeping the charaters separate from the background.
 I have a copy of that game, but have as of yet to play.. someday i will, some day. So many rpg, so little time.

This is still in the works, but this is what I have so far. One of my friends said I need to add a gas mask, so let me know what you think and what I can change. Sorry the image is so dark I was at work when I took the picture and it is on acrylic paper so there i a slight reflection.

[Jake of All Trades]

One of my friends said I need to add a gas mask, so let me know what you think and what I can change.

No, I don't think that would do at all.  The lady has such a lovely, delicate face--I'd hate to see it obscured...  Just needs to be fleshed-out/detailed a bit more, I think.  Very cute!

[clockworkskull]

In my school of though, the gas mask is not necessarily steampunk. More of a future post apocalyptic thing.

Smaggers?  That's smashing!  Love the Hal 900!

I totally agree--not so sure why so many people see them as Steamy...

[Smaggers]

Smaggers?  That's smashing!  Love the Hal 900!

I got a papercraft "mr hal" and was struck with how much the lens looked like a monocle.

Hmm, I wonder if HAL900 would papercraft, I've never done one before but there must be tutorials on the net.

Sign me up for one!

I teach an art class and this week we've been doing head drawing. Today I gave them half a head to complete any way they wanted. This was the sample I did. The join is less apparent in the original.

so how does one get a picture to show up in the message instead of as a link?

There's the button you can click on that says "Insert Image", or you can simply put [ img][/ img] with the link in between it (and without the spaces).

But I must say,that looks fabulous! Instant favourite from my side <3

[Vrin]

Thanks! I will try it that way next time around. Your bear is ready for command !

First post, don't hurt me! I generally don't express myself in such a manner, and this was my -first- time using photoshop, but I took a picture of myself with my cell phone camera, and well.. here's my final result.

Comments more than welcome, and I look forward to posting in this community =)

I want a cell phone that looks like a rifle.  Kinda like a reversed Steven Spielberg.  I like it.
