r-a-c's art thread

[rises and converges]

Hi. I draw an awful lot of anime, but they're not really my better works.

So here you go:

[Araragi]

the last one has a unique touch... keep it up

[Aizen-sama]

i really like your art
each one tells a story in them,and that really rare to see stories in artwork itself,good job

[brokenORCHID]

The first one is very very good.

[Annie Hall]

I am in love with your style. Absolutely stunning in my opinion.
There is always room for improvement but you're honestly doing a great job<3

[The Grey Crane]

Perhaps the most artistic thread i've ever seen here. These are really good (particularly one and two). These works exhibit a great balance of thought and technique, very stylistic. No offense to everyone posting in the fan art section, but you make the works made by ALMOST everyone else here look, well... much much worse. Seriously.

Keep it up.

Sign your works BTW...

[sataned]

i like the last one ... trippy stuff.. GOODJOB!! goes well wif the tune im listening to atm

[rises and converges]

Thank you for the kind words everyone.

Signing my work was never really a thought that came into my head since I am not a professional artist and it will take forever before I can even consider having a signature that is noteworthy.

But have a few more.

A little thing I did for a children's book that never really went through:





A small watercolor piece (5x7 inches i think)





A very big 18x24 inch watercolor/collage painting.




Oh, and if you want to see my silly anime work here you go (lol anatomical errors):

[Aizen-sama]

fascinating just fascinating

i am in love with your works...just so much story and character in each of them......genius is what they are

[Annie Hall]

That "anime" work is actually very nice.
Did you write the quote? or is it from something?
very neat.

Wolley- Thanks! Knight and Forest is actually a comic of mine that died after three pages. I wrote it all myself.

Here's the last page ;-;

[Annie Hall]

Man, you have so much talent, I'm envious.
that's REALLY amazing.

[John Watson]

My gosh, those are all truly amazing! If you come out with your own comic I would SO buy it. =D

Kinda reminds me of how crappy my drawings can be. xDD

[rises and converges]

Thanks everybody! You all flatter me.

Pseudo-deep things time!



"When I was young, I wanted everything." Yes I know if you turn this 90 degrees the woman's face looks hilariously off, but i did this without rotations. Booooo.






I really like drawing feet-





Here's some needlessly elaborate thing with a copy-pasted description (little backdrop here- I'm originally from the Philippines):



"I feel compelled to explain myself. To be honest, this was drawn after googling "songs for drawing" - as in, songs to listen to while drawing. There were a few impressive results that I decided to test drive, and my mind just went with it with no intention of having a meaning.

But now that I look at it it seems like a clear reference to my childhood. I lived in the Philippines where the oceans were incredible and crashing and within bicycling distance, and the whole place smelled of salt you could taste. We'd also have water shortages sometimes and I vaguely remember my grandmother going to some obscure source to get water that was shared.

I lived with my grandmother and aunts there because my parents had a difficult time with my papers, though for a period in my childhood I wondered if they did not want me. The rest of the piece has a few more obscure nods- I still can't swim; when I finally moved to the states and landed in second grade, my Catholic school teacher yelled at me for writing in cursive while everyone else was still learning print, because my old school in Philippines made up for in learning material what they lacked in funding. Perhaps this contributed to why I rarely spoke for most of grade school, other factors being my shyness and then limited acquaintanceship with American customs."



And no pseudo deep thread is complete without an AMV of Bleach/Naruto clips set to Linkin Park- but I don't have that so here's an Ulquiorra I drew. You guys talking about anime and its cheapness make me giggle a little because I am disabled and desperately poor and need to move out of my father's house and the only way I can do it is by drawing fanart and getting commissions.

What a fate.

Happy New Year guys.
