Any resemblance to fans of a certain rival school is purely coincidental. :)

New Topic: FOOTBALL FANDOM

It's that time of year when roaring stadiums filled with rabid, chest-painted, wig-wearing fans cheer on their favorite sport. Love it or hate it, it has become an integral part of our culture.
So here's your chance to extol the glorious virtues of football, or mock the stupidity of the sport and its fans. Or just about anything else you think applies here works fine, too.

Thanks to Dave McClellan for the topic suggestion.

There's gotta be a crying fairy.

As I perused the legions of fantasy art online, I learned a few things; you don't have to worry about anatomy, color relativity is irrelevant, shiny metal and ethereal backgrounds are key elements to any fantasy piece, and fairies either cry or pose seductively. Since Scott has done such a fabulous job with all the rules but one, I thought I'd cover the one he missed.

Then I got to asking. Why do fairies cry? What gives them blue skin? What's up with the uprooted plant? Why does Wynona Ryder always come to mind when I think of what a fairy would look like? Why did I actually spend time painting a fairy? I could only justify painting her by putting skulls in her wings. . . Skulls make it alright.

Fera'cuile'rathea the Elven Fairy Sorceress

Rule #5: Truly awful fantasy art gives no regard to personality in female characters, instead opting for the "hotness quotient," by designing women who have the features of multiple supermodels combined. This invariably results in a character with the mental prowess of a wet toothpick.

Spikzor Ultimus the Barbarian Sage / Paladin

Spikzor is the awsomest of all strong berzerker type guys, but except he can also use magic and has a very blue, very glowy sword!

(He lost his hand when he stole He-Man's sword and loin cloth) then he made He-Man's sword way better by carving spikes into it with his teeth.

Plus his axe is very, VERY spiky.

Well, these past few months I've been interning at Avalanche. I've been working in Concept and Texture. I hadn't done any computer art of any kind before then, not a stitch; it's been fun to learn.

I love the creative environment here, and Ryan Wood is the coolest boss to work for.

One neat feature about Avalanche/Disney most outsiders wouldn't know is that the soda machines are rigged...you can drink soda all day if you want. Another amazing fact is that we get pallets full of Grandma's cookies and processed beef heart from Costco (mmmmmm!!!) Wait! There's more! The company rented a theatre, and took us all to see Ratatouille on opening day, and if that weren't enough - they pay us to draw!!!
I'm now going out into the "real" world to find a job. So, if anybody knows of anything pass it my way.

He will destroy you, and he'll look super intense while doing it.

Here is my late entry for the wanted in the west topic

Thanks Johnny Cash.

New Topic: BAD FANTASY ART

Ever notice how there's so much bad fantasy art out there that it's not even funny? Well, let's make it funny.

Blah

We had a dearth of wanted women, but Bryan beat me to it. I didn't like the second one well enough to make a poster out of it.

Sweet Annie Bell

Every cowboy needs a stache

My favorite part in doing this was finally being able to use the "burn edges" plugin in Painter.

Lazy Luke

Doc

Can't anyone come up with anything more original then "Wanted" across the top of their poster?

Grand Theft Cattle

No, Dee-Dee!!!

A stupid decision on Tatooine. "Mavi, mavi, mavi!"

You gotta be careful how you look at the sheriff's horse.

Gun Slinger

Thanks to Joe Olson for inspiration on the teeth.

New Topic: WANTED IN THE WILD WEST

Joe's original idea was "Wanted Posters of the Wild West," and I like that, but I'm making it a little more open just in case somebody has a great idea and wants to do more.

Jar Jar

I am not going to get time to do something else and frankly now I don't think I could come up with anything else better.

Okay So I'm Late and He's Not Homeless Either

But he is a robot and he's semi-worn.

Another Late Hitman

My favorite one: Leon -- he's a real professional!
I just wanted to do something different than usual this time.

Padme's Hair

There's nothing stupid about Natalie Portman, but I did wonder how she changed hairstyles so fast in the movies. Then I saw the ads for V for Vendetta. Now I understand.

The Battle of Endor

Stormtroopers who can't aim versus teddy bears with sticks... who wins? The theater-goers... that's who.

Tender moment

I opted not to go with the "worst star wars character" assignment as there are just too many to to choose from. . . Of course I'm talking mainly of Episodes I, II, and III. . . I don't even want to go there. But, upon pondering the whole Star Wars entity, the religion actually, I came up with this. I dunno if it's sacriledge, but if I get struck down, we know it was for the sake of art. So, here it is. . .Old art and Star Wars. Goes together like. . . Like. . . Oreos and milk.

Kleebo of Glutean race

I don't know what was going through my mind with this one. In Star Trek they add a few bumps to a guy's head and that makes him a new species. I think in Star Wars everybody gets drunk and starts assembling Muppets from spare parts.

I kind of wonder what sound this guy makes. Or how he intends to drink his beverage.

Late hitman

If I ever were to produced a musical it would most definitely be about hitmen.
