The Paintings, Drawings, Art thread

[Xaqtly]

The catch-all thread for any creative pieces you've made, digital or analog. I did this today based on a photo of my dog. I'm still going to tweak it some more but I think it came out all right.

Thread necro bump! :)

Photoshop compositions count, right? Here's a lovely desktop background I made last week. As mentioned in the desktop thread, I've seen a bunch of "grunge" flags lately, but none were relevant to my interests. Enter the UFP grunge flag:

Previous to that, I had been using this simple one I made a couple months earlier:

I'll probably be contributing more to this thread later. Had to dust off those digital cobwebs first, though!

Am I the only one doodling here? :) C'mon guys and gals. I know you're up to something artstic.

I randomly did a little cash money upgrades tonight. Not sure what inspired me... just feeling a little rebellious, I guess?

We have Spock on our Fiver (with a bit of modification).

Looked a bit better on the old fiver. http://greg.org/archive/cardiff_spock_five.jpg

The Buddy Holly Lincoln makes me laugh, and the Spock is even better! Keep up the good doodles you anarchists! :lol:

Bumping the catch-all art thread and continuing on the Trek theme… :)

I spent some time this afternoon making a new backdrop for my desktop.

Bumpadump!

Here's my holiday gift to all of you: two Legend of Zelda-themed desktop backgrounds that I recently made. :)

For the first one, I took a high-res scan of the ALTTP box art, meticulously cleaned up the logo, trimmed it, and dropped it on a nice gold linen texture that matches the original color.

For the second one, I took a couple of in-game screenshots, redrew and recolored parts of Link's sprite, and cleaned up various bits before recompositing it all back together.

Which one? Which one?!

I used the previous one for about a month (I made it mid-October) on my laptop, switched to something else, and have been using the latter one since I made it one night last week.

I'm using the second one.
