Show off your art, and/or sites.

I know a lot of people here make art, too. SO show it off! >:D

Please only link to images over 500x500 instead of using the image tags.

And by 500x500 I really meant only 500px wide, but having a hugely tall image wouldn't be too great.

Anyway, I've been admiring this one guy's Illustrator for a while, but I don't have Illustrator and don't really like the way Flash handles drawn Vectors. So I took a few hours yesterday to expirement with vectors and the Pen tool in Photoshop. I don't have a tablet, so this was all done by hand. D:

All the shading is done through adjustment layers, as well. The whole thing is a first for me, I've never used the pen tool or adjustment layers before.

I don't update any more, but I've got some crappy stuff on http://ziko.sheezyart.com

Here's something I made for Valentines Day a few years ago. Oddly enough, my wife liked it other than the brief bit of internet speak I included. <a href="http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/520/ ... ">Linky</a>

Something made for the inlaws: <a href="http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/328/ ... g">Another linky</a>

In a very unusual move for me, something that wasn't me being a complete ass. <a href="http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/8236 ... 6.jpg">And yet another linky</a>
And thus I finally get around to making a picture of my wife and me available.

The only reason I like this one anymore is that other than the flower it was created entirely in photoshop without a source picture. I never did get around to finishing it though, at some point I realized there was no reason to fake metal and paint in photoshop when I could just go take photos of real metal and paint and edit them if I wanted. <a href="http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/2789 ... 7.jpg">One more linky</a>

Note: These where from back when I was first learning photoshop so there are some blatant problems with them. I'd fix them except I don't give a damn anymore.

Your first one was hilarious and very symbolist of you. The last one was awesome. I wish I could make stuff look that real. o_o;

As for me, I did more vectors in Photoshop. I got lazy with these two, but ah well.
Wanna fight?
*drools* Zzzz

And a pencil piece, since everyone else was doin' it:

Hm...hard to find pics that aren't yaoi. I haven't done anything but anime style art in forever. And I do all my "digital art" with a mouse and PhotoImpression4. I'm lucky if I can do straight lines, so forget any artistic coloring styles.

I did a dragon a while back. ^^

The sketch
Colored version

Mostly I like drawing characters, as close to the original anime as I can get. I lack an original artistic style, but I'm good at monkey-see-monkey-do.

Prince of Tennis:

Fudomine - Kamio and Shinji
Hyoutei - Oshitari and Gakuto

I used to do real-life sketches, pretty good with faces, but I never could do hands. God, I hate hands. I don't think I still have any of those sketches. >.>
