How 'bout an art meme?

[snapcrackleburn.livejournal.com]

I thought about this a while back, and never got around to doing anything with it. Shame on me!

Some time ago we had a doll-maker meme floating around back here. Well, I tried it, and FAILED MISERABLY. There just wasn't anything that my pups would wear, the hairstyles were all wrong... you know the drill. So, I thought, what about...

A fanart meme! I'm sure there's been one of these before, but I can't recall one while I've been here. You don't have to be the next Leonardo or anything -- you can even post a scanned pencil-drawn stick figure, if you'd like! Just post a picture that you've drawn of one of your pups. You can post more than one, if you want, or several of different pups. Any style, any medium. They don't even have to be new pictures. Hell, let's broaden the horizons -- have you made a doll, a sculpture, etc. of your pup? Post a shot of it! Spent some time making a pretty banner or icons? Post those, too.

The only caveat is that you can only post pictures that you yourself have drawn, digital pieces you yourself have created, and photos of things you yourself have made. Trust me, there's loads of lovely fanart out there for a great many characters. This is about you showing off your work for your fellow Millimuns to admire!

Please make a text link to your picture, rather than referencing the image, if the piece is NSFW. (Or if it's just, you know, MASSIVE and a bandwidth killer.)

I'll go ahead and start with a quickie headshot of Roy Mustang (snapcrackleburn), sans eyepatch, that I drew (and pretended to colour) this afternoon:







C'mooooon, it'll be fun! :D

[there-is-a-me.livejournal.com]

Work still (forever and ever) in progress.

[snapcrackleburn.livejournal.com]

Eee, fabulous! :3 I'm loving the hair, seriously. I have so many pups I want to try drawing, and yet I get completely spooked by the hair.

[thisfatefulhour]

Based on that Charles-Crowley thread: this.

omg I apologize for the INCREDIBLY CRAPPY quality. It's a good picture! I just . . . lack a scanner. And have to make do with holding my notebook up to my webcam and hoping. *facepalm*

[snapcrackleburn.livejournal.com]

Still looks good! (Psst, perhaps the public library has a scanner that you can use? :3 I'd love to see this scanned; looks awesome now, so scanning should be extra love!)

[rowanberries.livejournal.com]

>_>

Well, I don't actually do fanart, to tell the truth. But this meme is shiny, and I was bored, so, um.

Here's Shelley Winters, Harth Fray and Jack Harkness!

(http://photobucket.com) (http://photobucket.com) (http://photobucket.com)

Yes. I know.

But it was fun.

[buongiornodaisy.livejournal.com]

But Jack has so much personality! I love him. XD

[ostro_goth]

Here is the chibi! Made him especially for the icon, because I felt I had to have a chibi icon.

Otherwise:



When the dollmakers first hit the backroom, I made this 'Suti chibi.



gil_whimple-mun drew Sooty and Gil, two years ago, as a birthday present for me. She is brilliant: - I wish I could draw like that! I sometimes draw in coloured pencil, but not recently, and never Milli!charries, only some from the old Discworld RPG.-

[bigfluffball.livejournal.com]

Ooh, pretty on both counts :)

[cupenny.livejournal.com]

Laini is the only char from this game that I've drawn- so far, at least.


Nope, not referencing anyone in Milliways- I had an idea for the pose and kept on it. ... And I should work on cleaning that sketch up and maybe coloring it.

[necessary_child]

Duuuude, art meme. I approve! However, if I html-ise every link I have, I'll be here forever, say sorry. For the same reason, I've only put up one actual image, and linked to the rest.

First of all, Eric's birthday present from me was this. Left to right: Atton Rand, Guppy Sandhu, Jack Harkness and Sam Linnfer.

The Amoeba picture, featuring Molly Hayes, Sam Linnfer, McGonagall and an awful lot of Millipups what ain't mine, including Sandry, Guppy, Karolina Dean and Matilda.

Molly and teenyGuppy!

Sam and Medusa (as drawn in work, hence poor quality):

Another work!sketch: several of the Runaways, and Claire from Heroes. Gert's not a fan.

Molly and Dalek!


Teeny!Guppy!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v690/kumquat_of_doom/BebeFishlet.jpg

So me and Eric decided to try an AUverse that had Sam/Atton. And somewhere in a sugar-induced discussion, the idea of hamster!Atton was created. I had to sketch this, naturally.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v690/kumquat_of_doom/FluffyAtton.jpg

On the not-entirely-worksafe front: Sam and Atton snuggling, from the same AU. Is nekkidness, but not full-frontal.

ZOMG DALEK PIGGYBACK RIDES. <3

[garbage-boy.livejournal.com]

Dude, I wish I could like, touch the computer screen and absorb your skillz into my body like the Animorphs. ANYWAY



Yep, I'm a lazybutt so no colors at all. Just pretend. I know we're all good at that.

I wish I could blame my suck on my tablet, but my tablet has been nothing but good to me.

[necessary_child]

Eeeeeeee Linguini!

That is about twenty bajillion shades of cute and awesome.

*pets him*

Meester Bond

[buongiornodaisy.livejournal.com]

I haven't drawn in a year, and it shows!



Mr. Skinnerrrr next...

Re: Meester Bond

[newredshoes]

Dagnabbit, lady! *covets your skillz!*

[guppy_sandhu]

It shows how rarely I draw things well enough to warrent scanning by the fact that I got the code wrong.



I like drawing Guppy's hair, the rest of him never comes out as well.

[buongiornodaisy.livejournal.com]

That is awesome! I love the shading and the style!

[mogget_cat]

I have made... soo much fanart in these past three years, but only some of it is online.

This one should count, though it's just me in photoshop, playing with the smudge tool.


Many of Yrael's icons should count, since they are drawn/made by me.


And then other fanarts that I've done over the years.
One Yrael hates me for, from a long time ago:


And one a fanart of a thread in the bar:

[guppy_sandhu]

Hee, I particularly love the last one.

[mogget_cat]

From so long ago that I forgot about it... *pats the poor White Rider*

[muji]

...I just snorted my Coke.

I've done more, but the lack of scanner really bites. I have to take a picture with my digicamera instead.

[daniidebrabant.livejournal.com]

I've got some OLD fanart:

Peejee and Kitt (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v74/DeBrabant/peejeekiett.jpg) from WAY back at the beginning of things.

Maledict (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v74/DeBrabant/90f21cbd.jpg) from Discworld... also from way back.

And from WHENCE THE DINOSAURS WALKED THE EARTH, Val (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v74/DeBrabant/Val1.jpg), Ophelia (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v74/DeBrabant/Ophelia1.jpg), and Meg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v74/DeBrabant/Meg1.jpg).

An old Hellboy fancomic of dorky (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v74/DeBrabant/Hellgirl-Comic2.jpg).

Alanna of Trebond (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v719/hephaestoschick/Online%20Portfolio/alana.jpg).

...and all out for the moment. Man I need to draw again!

[buongiornodaisy.livejournal.com]

draw moar plees

[scurlock]

I did this all in one day (today) when I got up and read the meme. All I had sketched was the lines for the body and gun and I finished it.



For a better idea how how big it is, I took a photo (it also shows the color and the shadows around him better) : link

[buongiornodaisy.livejournal.com]

♥ love the shading and the style (read below; tired, so coherency not coming to me)

[swankyfunk.livejournal.com]

My scanner hasn't been cooperating with my computer, so I had to take a pic of this sketch I did a while ago: Danny Butterman and Nicholas Angel (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v15/swankyfunk/nickndanny.jpg) taking a break after chasing a shoplifter. I didn't mean for Danny to come out so Top Gun-ish, but he actually might appreciate that.

[buongiornodaisy.livejournal.com]

awesome!!! (im tired, not gonna be coherent, nosirree)

[gethenian.livejournal.com]

Awright, let's do this thang.

From the realms of the Retired Puppets:
Gorlim the Unhappy (http://halfwest.deviantart.com/art/Traitor-Betrayed-37125242), pictured here moments before his capture by Sauron's henchmen.

Gorlim and Eilinel (http://halfwest.deviantart.com/art/Dorthonion-Immortal-37125612) in one of the only drawings I've ever done that has a complete and detailed background.

Gorlim again (http://halfwest.deviantart.com/art/Paloma-Bound-44258188), being the unfortunate recipient of Ven channeling frustrations into art.

Gorlim in oil pastels (http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/theimmortalliar/Art/Gorlim2.jpg), with a dove and the 10 of Swords background.

A very young Gorlim (http://halfwest.deviantart.com/art/Gorlim-66591028), with super-snazzy Elven blade.

Ufinished Tarot card design - Gorlim as the Moon (http://halfwest.deviantart.com/art/Gorlim-Moon-Tarot-66594290). I had to draw Gorlim a lot, you see, to make up for the fact that he is the most ignored character in Tolkien lore, despite being one of the most important. (Not that I'm biased or anything...)

Foaly! (http://halfwest.deviantart.com/art/Foaly-66590458)

Active puppets:
Faramir (http://halfwest.deviantart.com/art/Steward-of-Gondor-37124181), with the Rod of the Stewards, officially the silliest Named Object in Tolkien canon.

Therem and Genly (http://halfwest.deviantart.com/art/Therem-s-Death-draft-65263625)... technically, a warning for spoilers for the book applies, but it's a scene that is referred to in just about every thread I do with Therem so... you decide. :P

An early sketch of Miniver (http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/theimmortalliar/Art/miniversketch.jpg)

Miniver and Pickles (http://halfwest.deviantart.com/art/is-a-table-douchebags-65746636), in my first attempt ever to draw them both. Whee!

Miniver and Pickles as cats. (http://halfwest.deviantart.com/art/I-has-ur-ear-Nomnomnom-65822622) I have no idea what ever possessed me to do that. :P

Miniver and Pickles yet again, (http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/theimmortalliar/sigblank.jpg) but inked and colored! :D!

Miniver and Pickles in switched outfits (http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/theimmortalliar/Art/costumechangeinked2.jpg). Pickles can ttally rock the Cat Stevens thing. Miniver looks like effing Peter Lorre (and is shorter than he should be), but you can see in this one EXACTLY how his arm looks with the scars Draco gave him. :D!

A pen sketch of Sheogorath (http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/theimmortalliar/Sheogorath/sheosketch.jpg)

And oh yes... I made a Sheogorath doll. (http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/theimmortalliar/Sheogorath/sheodoll.jpg) It's not finished -- he hasn't got the boots or vest yet. But he has a nice smile (http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/theimmortalliar/Sheogorath/sheoeyes2.jpg). And his eyes glitter!! (http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/theimmortalliar/Sheogorath/sheoeyes.jpg)

Other people's puppets:
A very old and badly-photographed Arthur Dent with Marvin, mice, pansies, tea, towel, and of course, The Book.

Mia and Draco (http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/theimmortalliar/Art/sketchiepartdeux.jpg), from an unfinished sketch.
(closeup of Mia (http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/theimmortalliar/Art/Miadragonsketchie.jpg))

Rabastan Lestrange (http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/theimmortalliar/Art/Rabastan.jpg), in pastels. (http://halfwest.deviantart.com/art/Don-t-Panic-37124883)

[swankyfunk.livejournal.com]

Wowzers! Your eye for detail and form is amazing.

Rod of the Stewards, officially the silliest Named Object in Tolkien canon.

That made me cackle.

[notashortbean.livejournal.com]

I just noticed how Roy has a sword-cut scar on his cheek seperate from the burnscars. YOUR ATTENTION TO DETAIL MAKES ME LOVE YOU EVEN MORE.

And I promise I'll post an art to this tomorrow.

[dingdongdoodily.livejournal.com]

I has an art gallery on dA which has pups from the Metalocalypse and a couple Miniver-sneezes.

feel free to cry as needed. Art is bad.

[cheevy.livejournal.com]

Except is totally not bad. *gnaw*

[garbage-boy.livejournal.com]

Since you guys are seewwwww nice, someone made me draw this. I'm not gonna name names, but it was Bethan. There, I said it, and I feel a lot better.

[jothra]

...that is fantastic.

[gone_byebye]

I have two I've done of Ray. One of which is a copy from the comic book canon I use as his original continuity:



And one of which is rather more original:

this is TL, who is lazy and about to fall over

[(Anonymous)]

BUT SECOND RAY IS SO CHEERFULLY ADORABLE. AND FULL OF ADORABLE CHEER. Also, geeky face of Ray-has-himself-some-learnings.

[misslucyjane]

You all are scary talented and I'm envious, as I can't draw for jack. *applauds you*

MOAR AWT!

This being berryberryraz's canon, of course. I've never done fanart of Tilda or Lionel.

*Remarkably, worksafe.

**Really not worksafe at all.
