:( Well, maybe they're not used to humans and would retreat if someone landed on the island. Failing that, you could set up a large propeller or something to scare them away. And you could just ... erm bring a chair or something to sit on. :-p

Yeah, I didn't really think to far into how to get around it, just the fact that I remembered looking at the rock through my zoom lens and telling my friend, "Dude, there is sooooo much shit on that rock out there." :lol: :lol:
So when you said what you said it was the first thing that came to mind...lol. Sorry if I tried to crush your dreams of sitting on that rock. :wink:
I was taking pics at a show for some friends last night and while I was waiting for them to go on I decided to play around and take some pics of a few buddies.
Actually, two people in these pics have even met some people from this forum.

Nice, BG.
I went to a Japanese Garden yesterday.
I don't know if the place was perfect, and it is the dead of winter (so not much green stuff going on), but I found it pretty and peaceful (if you ignored the throng of fellow visitors). Does it look like it should, based on the pictures, or does it horribly fail as a true Japanese work of art?
Speaking of art, in addition to teaching this term, I'm also taking a painting class (yay, finally). At the beginning of the class I brought in a semi-started (i.e. rough sketch and basic under-painting) piece, one that I have a vague goal for but don't mind if the teacher uses it to teach me with. The first two weeks I spent just cleaning up the shape of the horse and sketch-painting it out in black. Then I got the idea to document my progress on it. So, if you guys find it interesting, I'll post what it looks like at the end of each week.
Since I didn't think of it in time, we'll have to start with Week 2 (actually, the beginning of today):

Week 3 (as of right now):
http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i1...mall/Week3.jpg
I've posted some pics from that place in the past, so that could be why you remember it?
Here's the first few pics from my vacation the past week and a half...

Congratulations, Allie! Nice color. Is that colored pencil? It's a little hard to tell from a distance, but it has that feel.
And, nice job, too, on your drawings, Bee. :)

Apparently, the feedback that I've had most was that I need to make sure and not cut the feet off like I did in most of these. I'll chalk that up to a lesson learned due to looking through the pics and finding that I did this in very very many of them...lol. That's all I had time to edit thus far, out of about 800 that I took...
and a few pics from a show I went to on Saturday night, I'm this band's official photographer... mainly because I work with two of the guys in the band...lol.

@ Khola - Nice drawings! I especially like how you do the eyes. Will you show us when you've completed the picture of your mother?
I like it, Ssmall. :) A lot of the pictures remind me of where I live. Most of those people in your pictures look like they could live down the street from me. It's a nice window into another place, and is a good reminder that people are pretty much the same wherever you go. It's some generally just good photography, too.
I need to become braver and start taking more pictures of people that I see out and about.
I would say - yes, you can draw. It could use some polish and perhaps further education, but the ability is definitely there. But, what did you think? Did you decide that you can indeed draw?
Long exposures are fun. :) You should do more.
Here are some fairly recent concoctions of mine. Some of you might have already seen them on facebook, but I figure I'd share them again anyway.

This one's a bit cliché, I guess, but I thought it would be fun to try my hand at it. This gorge is relatively near the area where I live, too.

It's a little different from the kinds of things I normally do, but I wanted to try some thing new. Someone told me it has an Alpha feel to it?

not done yet. i could probably work on this for months, but it's due this friday… :(
the only thing i'm semi-satisfied with is the teeth/lip area, so i have a long way to go. oh and maybe his right nostril. i like that one.
allie - is that your father - ?
close. it's his father.
It's insane. I used to draw and all that but have zero patience for it.
Nice job, Allie! Even unfinished it looks good. What was the assignment? And how big is that canvas?
Nice job. I can never do detail as good as you. Anything I'd draw would be an outline of something.
nice
thanks all <3
@ minde: it's 4 x 4 ft, made out of an old bed sheet. it's not really an assignment, the due date was only a personal one. i heard oil takes weeks-months to dry, so i wanted to be done by friday so that it'd for sure be dry in time for this gallery thing in march. i didn't finish though:
http://i365.photobucket.com/albums/o...taf/gustaf.jpg
maybe by wednesday, but probably not. overall i'm getting frustrated with it cause i have to work on it like 4-6 hrs everyday and i'm just tired already.
wow allie
for a stone cold bitch your drawings aren't total garbage
surprising
she most be on prescribed crack again
Allie as much as we don't seem to get along, you have phenomenal talent.
this is from a recent recording of my band, I play a cool drum solo at the end of this, and the rest of it is pretty neat despite some inconsistencies on my part, enjoy, also sorry about the .wav format, i dont have good software:
loreleisolo.wav
I wrote this about a year and a half ago. Probably my most favorite thing I've ever done creatively.
http://clearimagery.net/~arctures/Eucalyptus.mp3
Wow, that's great Arctures! What did you use to make/record it?
@ Allie - I can totally relate to getting tired of doing a painting, and it's harder when it's bigger like that. Plus any perfectionist tendencies don't help.
Did you stretch the sheet yourself?
Again, even unfinished I think it looks good enough to show. I have a friend who is also kind of a perfectionist painter who often works on larger canvases and will like you get tired after awhile and just stop or pause on a work. She'll call it unfinished, and relative to what she could keep doing it is, but relative to what other people like it's fantastic. Here's an example of something she calls only half-finished, for example:
http://www.msoaonline.com/Laura%20Fi.../DSCN0031b.jpg
I don't know its exact dimensions - at least 5 ft. tall, though. Looking at it, yeah, there are areas she could of course refine. But... nonetheless it's still nice to look at and worthy of hanging on a wall.
Anyway, if you decide to work on yours more I'd love to see the progress. :)

lol disclaimers. thanks though still
not quite.

normally i do, but this time my teacher did it for me.
yeah i agree. very cool. (:Quote:

okay so if it were up to me i'd probably refine details more (particularly the under-eye areas) but i need it to dry by wednesday and i'm already cutting it close :( i'm still very pleased with how it turned out though. i only finished a few hrs ago so i'm still sort of relieved/out of it.
starving artist no more, :D

This young lady is ENFp...for all of those who are confused about the type.

I really like the second picture.
It reminds me of pure Ego or what the Mind is. It's in abstract concepts. Structure. The mind is just a structure, it just builds and categorizes everything in a certain way but in all reality none of it is real, you don't really see something like that in 'mother nature' or whatever you know, it's just what the mind is designed as. But then again, at the same time you can't prove it wrong. Just like you can't prove any negative wrong. So, it's real too! So it's interesting.
Can I be the faggy art critic? =p
