Here's some of what I've been doing lately. Does hot linking from Deviant Art work? Let's try. I think I may have posted this one before, but what the hey. My half of an art trade with an online friend.

Goddamn you and your ability to draw lol.
I've always wanted to be awesome at drawing, but unfortunately I draw like a retarded 4 year old. So I took up photography instead lol. Unfortunately photogrpahy and photoshop is hard too and I'm now just as jealous of people with mad photoshop skillz (oh yes, with a "z") as I am of people who can draw.
Basically I'm immature enough to be bugged by the fact that I'm not better at anything than anyone else lol.
Anyhoo, I'm gonna look through my photos and see if there's anything that might qualify as art, rather than "just some picture I took".

If there's one thing I hate more than people with talent, it's people with talent AND imagination and creativity. Maybe I need to do more drugs or something. Anyway, here's a Photoshop job I threw together for an online competition...for which I missed the deadline Idea was to modify the provided image any way you saw fit. This is the original followed by my version underneath: Blending modes and layer masks FTW.

Blending modes and layer masks FTW. That's an excellent 'shop. I'd say you have some pretty good Photoshop skillz yourself.

...I'd say you have some pretty good Photoshop skillz yourself. They're inconsistent lol. And Red, looks like you've got a disturbed imagination...I like that

This is an older one, but I just made it available on prints and posters on RedBubble, at CareTaker's request.

More crappy cell phone resolution pics. I propped them up on my easel and snapped them yesterday. Still look pretty grainy and blurrish but that's all I got for you at this time. I haven't done any new pics in a couple years now either. I gotta get back on it. Creepy Clown (oxymoron, i know) This was done with pastels which I've not used much. I usually work in ink or graphite only. Sad Girl(you can see light on the left side that is from the lamp I was using to try to light it better. these aren't museum quality pieces but they do look a little bit better than these photos show) All pictures are done entirely free-hand (most times that is painfully obvious...), I never trace anything unless it is something else I have drawn. That is, I sometimes take the base picture of say a face or something, and then trace IT in order to make different versions of a face. SO in the very, very, very rare chance that I would traces something, it is ONLY my OWN lines which I previously put down free-hand. That make sense to anyone but me? I abhor cheaters and I don't do that. I will use a picture as reference as is obvious in my Hannibal picture for example or the NotLD girl picture, but that is it. I look at the picture, look down at my paper and move my pen or pencil accordingly. I pride myself if that, even if I'm not very good at creating realistic works.

I got a shitload of pics but the photo sharing site is fucking up. I only got this one to load so far, but it is one of my personal favourites. My mother saw this picture and she rolled her eyes and whispered my name... It garnered the 'disapproving tone' from my mom! A lot of these were just doodles that turned to sketches that I decided to finish, only half the time there are fundamental spatial or content problems which give them an almost eerie or surreal look sometimes as stuff is just a bit "off". Case and point with this one which started as a sketch of a woman's face and then I added the chainsaw in order for it to sling blood that would help to fill in the right side of the picture because I didnt' start out centering it properly because it WAS just a doodle.
