inb4 Toady One arrives:

All people arguing about autism should move to a more fitting place for arguing about autism.

[Julien Brightside]

Also, here is my attempt of getting us back on track.

All this serious talk about serious art and serious art criticism inspired me to contribute to this thread. Its seriously bad art, but its a contribution nonetheless. Old MS paint and a trackpad FTL.



Edit: also:

just in case its not clear...


Why yes, I am killing time between F5s

Edit: One last terrible sketch born from the unnatural meeting of finger and trackpad:



I have some terrible MS Paint skin tone issues

[Buttery_Mess]

That really is terrible, but kudos for the entirely appropriate demotivator.

I need to get a pencil back in my hands and contribute back to this thread.

Urist McGentleman has the solution to all your problems.

I could swear that curtain is drifting to the side.

[Buttery_Mess]

Is it a dwarven loom or something?

[Oliolli]

I somehow get a feeling of a noble, at the instant his mandate is failed.

Urist McGentleman has the solution to all your problems.

Shook?  What are you doing here?  I thought you lived on the "Draw Your Adventures" thread.  All my preconceived notions, shattered!

[Guardian G.I.]

Did this thing for the Forgotten Beast Art Contest at the DF Community Games & Stories:



The triumphant resurrection of that thread has spawned a lot of good artwork
worth seeing.

man he must be taking the biggest dump ever!!

@Guardian: Awesome. It looks kind of like a terrifying mutant bulbasaur, which is the coolest thing.

@Gizogin: Well, a man can still make treks from his home, can't he?

It's a slavering six-legged, three-eyed dimetrodon, actually.

Dammit guys you made him sad!

I had a go at just scanning in a sketch I'd coloured in with pencils. Since I didn't have enough pencils, the colours are all wrong and the shading is poop. I had to outline with biro and I also tried to shade it with biro. I think it turned out rather poo as a result. I can't decide what looks less rubbish, scanned pencil or biro sketches, or my feeble attempts at using my mouse to draw things in paint shop pro shareware. Or, even worse, a combination of the two.

I'm quite happy with my skills, but I feel like there's some method I haven't tried yet that will make my work look less shit. I'm sure either a tablet or photoshop is the answer, but I'm not enthusiastic about either. I'd have a crack at watercolours, but I'm concerned about not being able to scan in the work. Huff hummm....
