Well, my website's down at the moment, but I've uploaded a new Sunday comic which I rather like and which has absolutely nothing to do with any other Apathy comic or character, so I thought I'd post it here.

You can access it at http://66.90.118.124/~andrew/comic/ -- the comic is fine, but the layout is all messed up without the domain name in place.

Edit: It's now back up at http://comic.apathysketchpad.com -- probably it will go down again soon, but that's where it is in a proper page layout.

Yes, so I hear. I suspect it's been done more than that, though. If you could find a third that would be great.

Woo, some human drawing that isn't Beings-of-Light based.

Although it's still a weird concept, and it gets an Artist's Commentary of massive proportions (I'll never understand those people who put "..." in the Artist's Comments box...)

They like to be cryptic.
I like putting little comments that fit with the picture, myself. I only tell people details if they actually ask me about them.

But it doesn't make life easy if you want to try and give an informed reply. Or if you're running a club they've submitted a picture to, and you want to give the pic a little blurb...

:( :( :( :(

:( :( :( :(Well, what? The hair's short and your drawing is the head and shoulders only so there are no obviously female anatomical traits.

From there we go:

* Fairly thick eyebrows
* No real pronounced eyelashes
* Thick-set neck with no real forward jut
* Fairly firm jawline

and get out the conclusion that it's a man (I'll concede that the lips and eyes are points in favour of femininity, but at best you're now in androgenous territory)

I'm not saying it's a bad drawing, because it's not. But it's not especially feminine either.

I say it looks more feminine.

DOOOODLE. (http://www.deviantart.com/view/30147330/)

I hate school. :DHaha nice. I love playing games on my cellphone, the games are much better than the ones on my calculator (though I have a harder time concealing it). I got Darts and Four Stones (crap that came with the phone), Age of Empires 2, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones, Worms: Forts Under Siege, Call of Duty 2, Tetris and Super Bomber. Sadly school is boring enough that I've finished most of them already :(

Looked like a feminine dude to me, too.

Excellent doodle-age, Slick.

Heh, It's okay. Mostly concentrating on coloring.
All the more reason to keep practicing =)

I thought it would be a great idea to draw this on realy big paper. I thought it would be neat to draw the background separate to the foreground on another sheet. Then I thought, how a bout a logo? I'll draw that on another sheet too. While I'm at it I might as well draw some more stuff to fill the empty space at the sides. Two more pages then.

then came the problem of scanning these five massive A2 pages with my tiny A4 sized scanner. Luckily I managed to locate a paper-trimming guilotine, unfortunately it was also A4 sized.

It took a lot of folding and a bit of scisor work, but I did it. I scanned the mother and stuck it back together.

And here it is. almost completely indestinguishable from just about every other picture in my deviantart gallery.:p

My baby.

That's very cool. How did you go about creating it? All I can do in photoshop is brushlines and colorlendings. Alwase fail at trying to make anything look good.

PS. That's the mandelbrot set right?

It's a [fractal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal)]. I used over 20 different layers, a couple of which feature my own fractal formulas, but generally different manipulations of the Julia and Newton sets.

I know what a fractal is. I just don't know how to make them. even if I have a formula, I can't "draw" math.
Got a any fun program that will allow you to enter values and have it draw it out (if possible)

Ultra Fractal is a good programme. You can create quite complex fractal generation algorithms, or simply edit existing ones.

Most of the standard formulas let you mess around with various settings (such as iterations per pixel, exponentiation, bailout values).

Very well done *thumbs up*

So here's the only real drawing I have of this my-online-self-universal-human-avatar-sort-of-thing design I've had in my mind. Looking at it now, I guess the only change at all is the replacement of the red T-shirt with the red jacket. Oh well.

I think this sucks. :p I was considering putting it on DeviantART, but I don't think I'll even do that. Some time, I'd like to get a nice one out and use it as my first DeviantID, but for now, this is just getting it on paper.

I've been working on my shading and lighting.

I've been working on my shading and lighting.(Repost of dA comment) Very nice, although AK has a point about the shading: the flat tail looks weird next to the shaded body, even if it is meant to be in the dark. A second layer of shading should solve it (after all, you have two layers of highlights).

Anyway, a dev from a while back, coloured in and properly associated with the "Aralon" story I started writing a couple of months ago:

Critisism would be apreciated.

Philby, it seems like you want to make cellshaded 3D art, but can't, so you draw it. It's not bad, but I think you should try to move on into more realistic shading and coloring..

Anyway, here is a ~15-20 minute doodle.

Here are some awsome brushes (the ones I used for the picture)

Great for drawing scenes and getting texture down..

Surely Cell-shading was invented to emulate 2D comic-book art in 3 dimentions. It's a style of shading that's meant to look like a cartoon. You are, in effect, saying that I'm tring to emulate something that emulates cartoon shading. I can see your point, but I'm not.

I'm simply trying to do cartoon shading, obviously without any great sucess. :p

I've tried shading about twice. I utterly suck at it because I fail to understand how the shadows should project based on the angle of the light source. I've had a couple ideas for comics involving those lightning storms that turn the character solid black everywhere that isn't facing the flash, but after my attempts to shade those, I completely gave up. :p

Edit: Your stuff is still a darn sight better than any of mine, any slight inaccuracies aside.

It looks alright to me, but there are a few bits where it seems like you forgot where the light is. The tail on the left, and the arm holding the big gun up, mostly. It's not an easy thing to do, though, so give youself more credit.

If nothing else, you do seem to have outwitted Xinos, which is always fun.

Hehe, yep you got me ^^

I reacted mostly because the gun's lighting and glow is very blurred, unlike the rest of the picture. I wasn't sure if you wanted to go more realistic or not =)

Hey, who knew Paul could draw?Most of the Forumites with a dA account (sorry ;)). I've been getting slowly better over the last couple of months. Up until recently I've been drawing without references though, and I've repeatedly been getting the complaint that my poses are too stiff. So in the last few days I've started using references to try and alleviate that problem.

I don't know why, but your human-drawing style looks kinda weird to me. I can't point out exactly why, maybe I'm too used to your cartoonish style :p

What is it, though?

I can see what a lot of the actual calculation is that produced the image, but where the curves and source images came from is probably not guessable from the images alone. It's very impressive. Where do you start building up something like that? It almost looks too... holistic to have been done one "brushstroke" at a time.

I'm not sure how to explain. Most of my latest fractals were generated in Apophysis, and I'm not sure how it calculates and makes these things (it's very secretive...), but a look into Ultra Fractal (which I also use for a lot of my fractals) should give you an idea, since it lets you tweak the formulae and see the results.

The Tracks fractal consists of these two fractals.

Remember when I said I'd been asked to do a comic strip for a monthly student magazine?

I was ever so pleased. I spent a good deal of time lovingly hand crafting 11 comics for them over last year's summer holiday. I put them all on disc and sent them away.

well it's a whole year on and not one issue has been put out. :p The aparantly talked a lot about writing articles and features but never actualy got down to doing any real work for the project. This s especialy suprising considering that they managed to make money on the magazine the year before.

Bloody students.

As a result I've had these cartoon strips knocking about on my computer, not doing much.

And as they're never going to see the printed page I thought I might as well share them with you people.

OH NOES! Misspellage on the last frame of the last strip! Other than that, nice work. You sure love drawing cats.

And yeah, the pun strip really gave me an urge to shoot myself. :p

:D in general, particularly the Toblerone one.

Although it's a little tricky to work out the characters when they're all monochrome.

Nice comics, Phillboo.

Lol, nice one.
I've always considered blind date to mean "You'd have to be blind to take this date." :p

Okay, not only is this sorta worms related, not only is it unfinished, not only is it for the June compo (I wasn't accepted into the Sudden Death Tournament. Oh well.), but it's a somewhat low quality JPEG, too.
But I just really want someone to see it, and my new technique for texturing.
Anyway...

Quite teh nice.

Behold, a 3D movie I created during my week-long Art camp-thing.
EARTH VS. MARS (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/35356370/)

That's shocking. How the hell are you that good?

What dark ritual gave you those powers?

Did you dance in the blue flame? Did you drink the blood of a virgin? Did you attend a week long art camp, where you got proffesional tuition?

Virgin blood is overrated.

Anyways, nice work. The speed of the camera makes it a bit confusing sometimes but I loved the rest. :)

Confusing yes. Rerender it with clearer shots, that would help. But it's still really cool.

- Especially good for making it within the first week of using 3D max *thumbs up*

Ehehehe mapping error on the earth :p
Still great.:)

I know about every error, including how motion blurs show up when the camera is moving sometimes.
But flash doesn't let me delete those frames. Flash is mean.

And I know that the camera could be better in places, but I made this OVER the deadline. We were supposed to be done by 3:00, but I could go over because I was commuting.
And now that I think about it, on Monday and Tuesday we were just trying out 3ds Max and hand-drawn animation to see which one we would focus on. And on friday there was the show...
Good god, did I really make that in less than 2 days? I swear that I had more time than that!

Did you drink the blood of a virgin?
Well, I lick my wound when I get a cut, so I guess that I did. :p

Waffle (http://www.deviantart.com/view/35239913/), yes.

Sometimes you just have to stop fiddling around in flash and photoshop and just draw something.

Then you spend 4 hours cleaning it up in photoshop and flash.:p

Oh and logo!

I think what the logo's missing is razzle-dazzle. :p

I think the background works for what he did there.

At the very least, it would benefit from a darker shade.

Arguing over the background is kind of missing the point of the picture entirely.:p

Weeell, here's something I started about a year ago, stopped working on it about half a year ago, and started working on again about a month ago. It's still not finished, but it's almost there.
Also another prove that I'm the slowest artist on earth.
And I still dislike it on several aspects :x

Was also meant for practice on trying to achieve photorealism on painting, which didn't quite turn out right... oh well.

Also, you might recognize this image from somewhere, which proves how much I liked this image ;)
edit: Sorry for: Lack of image quality, shininess of the most fresh parts(grass and "trees") and lack of colour correction(that's not quite how it looks like). I have no access to photoshop you see.

I believe that's my photo of Lake Buttermere :).

That's a very nice painting.
I actually thought the small version was a photo =O

So before I checked the big version or the post after that I made a quick painting of my own with that as reference.

http://img105.imageshack.us/img105/5545/lakebuttermereqw5.jpg

Edit: My dad say the picture and exclaimed: "I've been there! It's in Scottland"

When I saw the small version I thought it was CGI.

When I saw the small version, I thought it was a damn fine painting.

When I saw the large version, I got that confirmed.

Yup. Y'know, when I showed it to my teacher, he tought it was a composited image (matte painting).
Took a while before I could convince him it was a photo :p

Now I might finish it. -ish.

My sig on another forum.

I hate it when forums have image sigs, actually. I always feel obliged to make something that is time-consuming and requires a lot of effort.

Edit: A bit hard to see what's going on there with the forum's light colours, but the other forum is darker. I'll upload one with a dark background now.

I want you to make that comic... so bad...
Your style rocks.

And I agree with the comment about the flat eyes. Shading on eyes can look weird, but at least they'd have depth.
And Trevor's left thumb looks like it's really stubby. It should go around the fingers, but it doesn't look like it's doing that.

Wormthingy was being ironic. :p

And leave it to you to come up with so many cat names.

There's a competition going on to put animation over Stephen Colbert's light-saber acting.

Anyway, here's a drawing I am working on. Yes, it's from reference, nobody in the right mind would decide to draw this out of the blue.
http://www.planet-eggplant.com/wakaba/src/1157399895243.jpg

You're too damn good :(

Holly smokes!

Finish that and stick it on Deviant art so I can add it to my favorites already!:eek:

I doubt I will be able to give him a face though. Whatever I try ruins it..

Don't give him a face, then. Tbh, I like it without him having a face. It's great like it is. Without the face, it's up to the viewer's imagination to think up what his expression is. That's one of my favourite kinds of art, actually; partial. Autechre, a great electronic band I listen to, often makes partial melodies and beats so that the listener fills in the missing parts in their mind, and it sounds great. It's a really brilliant technique.

I agree. Give him a nose and it will look surprisingly natural.

I'm practicing drawing people again.
I'm getting there...
and I ought to mention that my hands are a fair bit better than they used to be.

http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/2364/hyoomanve5.jpg

IT'S NAKED! :eek:

j/k, I'm no artist so I can't tell how accurate it is, it seems nice to me, and you sure can draw human feet and hands better than me. (I always end up doing mittens)

I find feet much easier to draw than hands, hands are HARD! A rule you should try to follow is keeping the thickness of the fingers the same from base to tip, even if you don't put all 5 of them on the hand. But besides the feet and hands, the only thing that stands out as strange are the legs.. they are much too long.. or his body is too small, you pick :p

A preview of what is to come:
http://gwfanatix.com/myspace/shisakugopre.png
-ShisakuGo

I like your pictures because so much is going on in them, but th perspective in that is really off. You need to set a perspective point and stick with it =P

http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/2007/perspxr5.jpg

The one with the green lines is the one I decided to be the correct one, and the red lines show how the roof tops should be angled accordignly. The reason the red lines are so extreamly angled is of course because the perspective point of the "correct one" is very close. It needs to be waaaaay off in the distance for it too look natural.

I am very bad at this myself, It's much easier to find problems than fix them while your drawing ;P

Yeh i know. I'll try to go back and fix the angles a bit.

I have a tendancy to get lazy with backgrounds.

BTW the green lined one is also the first one i drew.

Generally when i draw buildings, the first one is best and then each one after that gets progressive worse.

Anyway, I'll see what i can do.

EDIT:

Heres it fixed and spiffed up. I added fog and such.

http://gwfanatix.com/myspace/shisakugopre2.png


also heres it on my deviant:
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/39575512/

It looks much more natural now. The Fog was also a good addition as the background is less distracting from the charecter.

There they go, hotlinking to dA again.

But still, LOL, that cracked me up.

Does neither the link OR picture work?

I never really knew what was up with dA not allowing whatever.

The picture. Makes sense, they have ads on their site, so obviously they want people to visit it and not just hotlink it.

Another robot!

Though it's kind of bad though. I should really put more time and effort into it, but I like trying to draw theese as quickly as possible =P
