#1 Stofsk's artwork (56K caution)

Post by Stofsk »

I was going through my files and I found some old pictures of mine that I'd saved throughout the years. These are all at least several years old, none of them are recent (I shudder to think how I would fare drawing today). Anyway I took the cream of the crop and uploaded them to my photobucket account.

Model of a ballerina, 1
Image
This was from a FHM magazine. They did a photo shoot of the Australian or Melbourne Ballet company, and the ballerinas who are members. She was pretty striking so I drew her. She was raven-haired so I went heavy on the hair, sorry. It didn't really work out too well. And would you look at the right hand? Dear god. This was done a few years ago.

Model of a ballerina, 2
Image
Second picture of the same model. You can tell that I drew both pics on the same piece of paper, but on either side. Again the hair didn't come out right nor did the face (mainly the eyes). If I were to guess I'd say they were done... in 2003? Or perhaps 2004.

Grandmaster Hatsumi
Image
I had a ninja book at one stage (I seem to have misplaced it - or it was swiped) and there were photos of people like Hatsumi-sensei in various poses. I drew that from one of them. At a guess I'd say this and the next two were from 2003.

Ninja Spider-man!
Image
:cool:

Some sort of storyboard thing
Image
These were drawn from various ninja photos in the book I talked about. The picture is actually fairly large, photobucket must have resized it.

Lesbian Vampire chicks
Image
This is actually a J. Scott Campbell drawing from Gen13 #5. Nobody other than a comic geek would probably understand. I didn't trace it, but I did copy it (ie I had the comic issue open so that I could use it as a guide). I did it around the time the issue was released. I must have still been in high school.

Sailor Trek! :lol:
Image
This is the oldest of the lot I believe. It was dated '97. I think I drew it for a laugh.

Wow, great work!

You have clean lines :grin: (unlike me)
I guess you could give them some better shading (when you had a model /reference)...
You have a very good sense for proportions, and that's the most important thing ^__^

The balerina on the very first pic got a beautiful cheekbone and chin; I'll do her.

So be it. If saying "NO" means being alone, then to hell with love, with romance, with marriage, and all the shit life keeps pumping at me. I'll walk alone, but with freedom and a healed pride.

I can't speak for Hashava, but I think it has something to do with less of a 'sketched' style and more of a 'drawn' style.

Yep...^^
My own style is too sketchy...

Something I whipped up in about half an hour (I wasn't timing myself, that was just a guess). He's a Sydite, a human subspecies in Traveller. Anyway, this guy means business.

UPDATE!
I rifled through some of my old files again, and found even more artwork!

The following is a list of characters I had made for a DS9/B5 knock off series in high school. Concept art if you will.

Image
Captain Melissa Campbell. I wanted a female lead, who wasn't like Janeway in either temperment or appearance (IE no stupid fucking hair bun). If anybody remembers that show Earth2? You might see the resemblance here.

Image
LT (junior grade) Jenny Harris. The series eyes and ears. She was supposed to be the tactical officer. Also, one of those young, inexperienced types.

Image
LT (senior grade) Chris MacKenzie, MD. The CMO for the station.

Image
Commander Rollins. 2nd officer, potential love interest for the CO. Years before Battlestar Livejournal would even start shooting! The gun he wields was based loosely on the B5 PPG. He was also a fighter pilot.

Image
Kravis, my Garak knock off. The guy had his own ship, travelled the stars, got into trouble because he always poked his noise into it. He fulfilled the 'unlikely hero' archetype.

Image
Sonnergatt, I think he was supposed to be an alien but... he turned out asian. He was meant to be an ally and another potential love interest to the hero, Campbell.

Image
Talia, second to Sonnergatt. Sharp eyed Trekkies might notice a resemblance with this picture and one particular female DS9 cast member... the only difference I made was give her slight oriental features around the eyes.

(and for some stupid reason, at the time I thought nothing screamed 'alien' more than facial art :lol:)

Image
Major Wilz Baris, kind of a cross between Major Kira and Worf. He lead a fighter squadron. (when I say this series was a knock off of two shows, I wasn't kidding)

Now, I also found my year 12 photography assessment project. It was a comic book, detailing a dream. I'm missing the first page of artwork, and the photographs, but the body of the comic is here.

Kinda ends on a downer, don't it?

I did this feverishly over a few days - no, really, I procrastinated all semester with the project until I had to cram in a week.

I'm actually very interested in what some might think about the comic. I've always wanted to do comics since I was a kid. I'm wondering what some of you think about the sequential style.

Not bad, not bad at all Stosfk. You should draw more.

It has been awhile since I did some drawing... I have a few ideas. Nothing concrete yet though.

I'm sure you could get plenty of ideas from people here. Artists are always in high demand.
