Right. Thanks.

Hey guys -

I'm still alive and still working on art! I wanted to share some of my recent work here and hopefully show that I've improved a bit since I started +The Engravers Guild+ !

I haven't always kept up on practice (other careers and life interfering) but I've been working pretty seriously at it for the past couple of years, and before that I spent quite some time studying oil painting as well.

Anyway, here is some of the new stuff!

I'll try to post more here if I have time. I also work with a group of artists on reddit where we practice and give advice/encouragement. We use a google hangout and screenshare the stuff we are working on which works pretty well. http://www.reddit.com/r/artquest

Anyways, hope you all are doing well Keep practicing!

wow, really impressive faces. Love that second pic, best of them I think. Like, WOW!

[Cheesecake]

Damn, dude! I love them, they're so expressive.

[Pencil_Art]

Really great, Spreggo.

[Hippoman]

Shit dude.
Also number two looks like some advertisement for the Internet or some other software back in the 90's.

[Spreggo]

Thanks :O

For some reason I tend to default to a 90's book cover style Maybe I should do some Fear Street illustrations!

The set of example magic circles I decided to make is finally done. Sadly, I mistakenly saved only an old version of the Shamanism one when I did a Windows format last weekend; I now have only the png. All the path and layer data and stuff is lost, so if I want to play around with it I'll have to redo it and it won't be quite the same.

This must not die!

A picture I drew while being bored, and decided to go with it. This was for the RP game down in the Forum and Roleplaying Games section, Eclipse Heights School for the Supernatural.

Not amazing quality.

Since this is alive again:

Somewhat low-effort self portrait, mostly in 2B and 2H pencil. Roughly an hour of time. Does not actually look exactly like me, alas.

can anyone recommend some good Blender tutorials? I'd like to use it mainly for landscapes and structures (and putting those two together.) It's kind of frustrating me because I come from a CAD background and the lack of precision in being able to manipulate solids is a big gap for me in re-educating myself in these kinds of modelling tools.

[Nirur Torir]

I don't have any Blender tutorials to recommend, Most are, annoyingly, in video form.

A few things that may help with precision:
{g}rab, {x} (or {y} or {z}, or shift-X/Y/Z to exclude them), {-1.5}, {enter}, to move the selected object or verts -1.5 units along the x-axis. (Also, {r}otate and {s}cale.)

There is a toggle for "Snap during transform" in the bottom of the 3D view window, with a magnet icon. Set it to face or edge and it might help, but it's a bit wonky.

{o} toggles proportional editing mode. This moves verts close to the selected ones. Move the mouse wheel to change how far it reaches. You might find this useful if you're moving verts in edit mode instead of sculpting.

The right pull-out tab on the 3D view has exact coordinates for the center of the select. You can change them.

I'm not great, but I might be able to help if you have any specific questions. Feel free to PM me. (Or just post them here, I guess. General art thread; if it inspires someone to play around with Blender, then I'd say that it's probably on-topic.)

So here's something I've been working on for the past two weeks or so, not entirely sure, time has been iffy lately and I haven't been that productive anyways:

So this is me painting a Spaceship overlooking a gas giant. And I really wanted  to ask if someone has any Idea or could point me to an example of how to shade the floor behind the window, because I really can't figure it out.
