Think of this thread as a "Look, Links!" type thread. With one exception. Post links to artwork, pictures that you think are cool.

The requirement is that *you* must be the artist So, show off your coolest oh forum members I've got a link I'll post when a few others have.

Would it be alright to post artwork as attachments and/or in line with the text instead? I have something to post that is on my hard drive but not on any web page.

As I mentioned in the happy new year thread, I'm going to try to draw something every day this year. Big or small doesn't really matter, just as long as it's something. I won't post everything here, but this one is kinda forum-related, so I figured why not. It's an elf stone:

I am more than impressed by your skills. When I think how long it took me to make up my avatar, that you drew that picture just since yesterday is remarkable!

(I am allowed to say "But" . . . yes?)

Elf stones are GREEN ! they have to be green! They can be big or small, translucent or opaque, pale-green or dark-green, matte or sparkly, facetted or unpolished; they can be set in silver or gold or pewter or not set at all; they can be wrapped in paper or kept in a wooden box or held in a velvet pouch round one's neck, but they have to be green.

Oh well, I might as well post some homewerk I had a while ago for Art class. We were supposed to write a love poem and decorate it. My favourite poets are Poe, Heine and Bacovia, so that should explain why it came out the way it is .

Well, considering the current color of it I'd call it a Drow Stone...

Why?
Hmm when I read your question I thought "why indeed?"! It's one of those moments when I wanted to say "they just are"!! but that won't do so I've looked up the references I half remembered:

To the Elvenking he gave the emeralds of Girion, such jewels as he loved best . . .
from The Hobbit

He held out his hand, and showed a single pale-green jewel. . . . “It is a beryl,* an elf-stone.”

Then she lifetd from her lap a great stone of a clear green . . . ‘This stone I gave to Celebrian my daughter, and she to hers; and now it comes to you as a token of hope. In this hour take the name that was foretold for you, Elessar, the Elfstone of the house of Elendil!’

And word went through the City: ‘The King is come again indeed.’ And they named him Elfstone because of the green stone that he wore, and so the name which it was foretold at his birth that he should bear was chosen for him by his own people.
all from The Fellowship of the Ring

*green beryl is what we commonly call emerald

Edit: This may be of interest and gives a fair number of other links.

Just a little something I whipped up in 2 hours. Could have been better, but as I said - only 2 hours put into it.

My first "serious" vector graphic (which is also my second made vector graphic). You should know this scene.

Note: For the people who can't view it, and don't want to shell out $250+, I'd suggest downloading Inkscape.

I've got something pattern related. There are some drawings here, and some tile wallpapers based on those patterns here. You can check out there rest of the gallery as well.

Now that's a cool comic. Care to post a comic like that to enter the Top Drawer contest?

Doesn't look like it's povray though...

It's Bryce 6.0 actually. I keep meaning to learn new ones (Maya or Blender), but I never seem to get round to it because I do Bryce so much and know it so well. Bryce is really not that good at making anything that's not geometric or made from primitives (spheres, pyramids, cubes etc), but the rendering and texturing/lighting is excellent. Making organic-looking stuff is much harder though. If you're interested, most of my art is at my deviantart page - calamarain.deviantart.com. I won't self-promote here... with one exception - the one I'm most proud of - my Beholder Golem

It's not a drawing, but I like colouring things now and then:


The original drawing by Paul Taylor, the author of Wapsi Square, is from here.

np: Autechre - Altibzz (Quaristice)
