Topic: NintendoLife Artists Thread

@Blooper987 thank you. Yeah I started off doing special fx and working haunts so most of my stuff is darker themed. Then I relax playing nintendo games so they even each other out, haha.

@MyNameIsRandy WOW there awsome are they all hand drawn bc some of theme look like plastic,

@MyNameIsRandy If you want to directly post those pictures, use the "img" command line.

It looks like this, only without the extra spaces in between those brackets:
[ img ]put direct link to picture here[ / img ]

Another important thing is, that it needs to be the DIRECT link, so the link NEEDS to end in a picture format extention, such as jpg, gif, png or similar.

So, in your case, I took the first link of all the short links you posted, right-clicked on the picture and selected "view image" and then the resulting link is this:

https://i.ibb.co/rM2qHXC/116042469-10163751300525034-38161711...

Now, adding the "img" command to that, you'll get this:

[ img ]https://i.ibb.co/rM2qHXC/116042469-10163751300525034-3816171150052079808-o-1.jpg[ / img ]

Remove all the surplus spaces in between the brackets (so, the spaces before and after "img") and you'll get the end result:

If that still doesn't make complete sense to you, you can also quote my comment and then you'll see how I formatted that last line.

Go ahead, give it a go and edit your previous comment so the pictures are displayed immediately without people having to click on links...

@MyNameIsRandy Some great pictures by the way. I'm going to tag @Zuljaras, because I'm pretty sure he'll appreciate them as well.

@ThanosReXXX Awesome thanks for the instructions!

@Snatcher They are all pictures and I mix fx make up with photoshop so most of that is real then enhanced on a computer.

@MyNameIsRandy You're very welcome. Glad to be of service.

@ThanosReXXX is this "photo bashing"?

@Zuljaras Photo bashing? I have no idea what that even means...

@ThanosReXXX You take a photo and paint over it or use parts of a photo and incorporate them into a painting.

"Photobashing is a technique where artists merge & blend photographs or 3D assets together while painting and compositing them into one finished piece."

@Zuljaras Ah, I see. Well, then you better ask the one who made them, because I wouldn't be able to give you any kind of sensible answer.

@MyNameIsRandy Care to reply to the question in comment #1,002?

@ThanosReXXX @Zuljaras These might be considered photobashing then, I've never heard that term. The painting and fx make up was done right on the model but I do change up things digitally, in photoshop. The Alice in Wonderland themed one I layered with color and black and white layers. The backgrounds of the mouth one was added in and I shadowed the model to make it blend together better. I will touch up, enhance, or change hair and eyes color and such in photoshop also, but I still haven't really drawn much in.

A drawing tablet will probably be my next big purchase though so I can start doing that, but that will probably take a while to get used too. Before I started doing photography not even two years ago now I only did 3d physical art, unless I had to draw something out first get someone to hire me. My drawing skills aren't that good, just good enough to get the point across.

@Zuljaras are all your sculptures polyclay? What kind? I've tried super sculptey but it's way too soft. I prefer chavant nsp soft or medium but it's an oil based clay so needs to be molded and casted to paint it.

@MyNameIsRandy Super Sculpey is the best. If you want firmer clay use Super Sculpey Medium or Super Sculpey Firm.

But for doing fine details and stuff you use Super Sculpey, bulk with tin foil and armature wires.

I also have Fimo, Cernit and Sculpey Soufflé and Sculpey Premo but I use them only for jewelry.

I would never think about using anything else other than Super Sculpey for sculptures it feel just perfect. I have so much control with it.

January 2021 is almost finished.
Here are my galleries for February 2021 from my Boxing on Ice and Sky Boxing calendars.

The Puppet Master.

And this is the whole drawing process:

@Zuljaras Looking good again, my friend. My compliments.

@ThanosReXXX Thank you very much. Btw for my next sculpt I am thinking of making a fully built Necropolis town from Heroes of Might and Magic 3.

@Zuljaras Really? So, is that going to be the biggest sculpt you've done so far, or is it going to be a miniature city? Either way, sounds cool.

@ThanosReXXX I want to make it bigger than my previous. I want the base to be bigger than a Switch cartridge case. All I need is to find the perfect base material like those hardboard things.

@ThanosReXXX I has begun! Only 3 buildings are baked for now. The terrain must be soft until the very end!
