Tanni Foemangler Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 (edited) so 3 days after the semester ended i decided it was time to get crackin and see what new techniques i could bust out. my senior illustration idol showed me this thing with colored pencilling warm and cool greys over a watercolored fleshtone so i decided to give it a shot with acrylics. and so... i started drawring this face which i thought had cool fleshtones and a decent range of them decided to drawr (in ink) the lines on her cheeks where the darker tones would go, something i generally frown on because it's not as smooth and elegant then i threw some clear gesso on that bad boy (MAKIL: if you don't have any of that stuff GET IT. freakin godsend) then i blocked in the basic values using a palette and TONS of glazing medium (makes acrylics dry way slower so you can actually work with them) and then i went in with a few more colors (not too many) and got the eyes, lips, highlights.... *ah snap.... this final product looks substantially better in person. need to mess with my camera... ...and i liked it so much that i doubt that i'll do the colored pencil thing :\. but i showed it to my roommate who said he digs it and that the girl looks like an old girlfriend of his. SO i axed him if he wants to be in it and i could feed off his former GF vibe, and he came up with some crazy ass ideas which i'll try in the next week to pull off so there you have it, fun on the first OFFICIAL day of break (ie, not partying or recovering from partying). first person to ask about AE comics gets a pen to the eye. they're on their way ***holy crap, i misspelled 'decent'....

Anime Gee Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Looks pretty neat! (^o^ ) <3 So yeah! When are we getting more comics?! Link to comment
Alundra Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I'm sure that sock had more than one use in the process. Link to comment
R.T. Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 that looks really great! you can hardly see the cheekbone line in the final pic, btw...unless that is just the pic... now post more amazing art! for instance...the continuing story of the toothbrush comic! Link to comment
Tanni Foemangler Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 tanks peeps . i'll post any progress i make on it I'm sure that sock had more than one use in the process. am i to blame if looking at pretty girls arouses certain emotional reactions in virile young men? and this next part is just for gee, so the rest of you may want to just cover your eyes or read a book for a few seconds...

mst3kjunkie Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I got bored and hastily colored that in with photoshop. here's the finished product... Link to comment
Makil Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Well I don't have any Gesso personally, but I use it at school. But yea, the painting I'm doing now I have to work with acrylics and the medium. And yes, medium is awesome because I hate how acrylics dry 2 seconds after it's put down. Unfortunately my teacher decided he wanted to teach us about kitsch art, so we're using neon paints. Ugh. Oh well. That face looks really good. I can't do that kind of stuff with a brush. -_- Link to comment
Tanni Foemangler Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 i actually used the sock to remove a lot of paint as i was going. my process usually involves a lot of "push and pull", so to speak and MST: sweet colors . Link to comment
mst3kjunkie Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 ^_^ I just used the main pallete that came with photoshop since I like most of the colors...nothing much... Link to comment

JesusTheNinja Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Very nice. This isn't the first time you've done a piece on wood, is it? I seem to recal seeing something else on wood, and can't imagine I saw it anywhere but here. Link to comment
Tanni Foemangler Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 yeah, i've shown you guys some drawrings/paintings on wood before. it's just so gratifying to create beauty using something that's otherwise considered useless and wasted not to mention painting on canvas SUCKS Link to comment

No Sad Endings Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 aaah tcz makes me feel incompetant T^T Link to comment
Venom112 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 aaah tcz makes me feel incompetant T^T Hey champ, buck up, he'll never be able to write as artistically as you can! *suddenly TCZ releases his 2 novel epic that automatically becomes a critically acclaimed smash hit bestseller* Wow, he's good. Too good... *suspicious* *sidekicks TCZ* TCZ: UGH! Agh, what the hell was that for!? Venom: I'm so sorry TCZ! I... I just thought you were a robot! Oh geez, I, how embarras- *TCZ coughs, several nuts and bolts clink to the floor* Venom: ... TCZ: Alright, I can explain. Years ago I got into a horrible accident when the fiend Dr. Malignant offered me a drink, a pure rainbow. Foolishly I indulged, the colors instantly inebriated me, but at a price. It seared through my esaphogus and he left me for dead. At that moment an alien from the Hxytp galaxy appeared before me, due to a mistake in his space folding device. Instantly he came to my aide, giving me a demi-god potion, keeping me alive through the horrendous surgury, he replaced my esaphogus with just a drexlon capacitor, some tin foil, a spoonful of sugar (to help the stuff go down), and some pocket change. Sadly before I could thank him, his same device ripped him backward into time. I never knew what became of MacGuyver. Venom: Wow, how noble of you to continue on as you have. TCZ: Yes. Sadly the invention also overflows me with creativity, so I must draw and draw. Venom: In fact, I feel so bad I'm going to invite you to a nearby greenhouse. They have plants of unrivaled beauty and magnificence! *later* Venom: No! Aphids are destroying the greenhouse! *tear* TCZ: I'll take care of it, you wait outside* *later still* Venom: T-TCZ!? *looks inside* The plants! Damaged, but saved. How? TCZ: I dunno. *burps* Venom: Hmm. *narrows eyes* TCZ: Alright, you caught me again. I didn't have any experiment. I'm actually a hyper-sentient ladybug. Many millenia ago I was flitting around Egypt. I ran into a punk crowd of scarabs near the pyramids of Giza. Oddly enough the stars were aligned in such a way that the power of the pyramids and scarabs combined and were borne unto me. Instantly the scarabs died, but I was granted immortality and a sense of self. I lived a fairly unexciting life until the day I happened to be eating some aphids outside a hospital. I heard the cries of a terminally ill child. I asked him of his ailment and his troubles. While I felt sorry for the lad, I could not cure him. I decided I wouldn't let him die though. I sailed into his body, using my powers, and integrated with his mindframe. I lost control of my body which to this day floats inside the lad, and his consciousness became one with mine. Instantly the lad was cured and granted incredibly powers. I gained the ability to speak as well as other interesting abilities I had never had a chance at before. That is the tale behind my excellence. Venom: *nods with arms folded and eyes closed* Yes, I suspected as much. Link to comment
stranger Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 That's hot, T... Real hot Maaaad props Link to comment
Tanni Foemangler Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 wrrrrrrd G i normally wouldn't bother to post such a small update, but i needed the pics for something else so.... colored pencilled the sky, oil painted the eyes. i still need to work out the sky (that circle at the top) and i'm trying to avoid using paint, but it might just be easier detail of the eyes the TRUE color of the board is somewhere between the color of these pics and those other ones where the wood is really orange Link to comment
Makil Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 You wanna pass me some of your painting talent for a few days? Link to comment
