How 'bout an art meme?

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 ([livejournal.com profile] snapcrackleburn), sans eyepatch, that I drew (and pretended to colour) this afternoon:







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

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*

>_>

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!

Yes. I know.

But it was fun.

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.



[livejournal.com profile] 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.-

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.

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

[identity profile] rowanberries.livejournal.com 2007-11-17 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think it's actually possibly to portray him without that... spark. Without that chirpy something, it'd just be some guy. *grins*

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 Dalek!

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.

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

He just had to have this big old smile...

He's so much more fun when he's happy. :( Why the woe, canon?

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.

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.

D'awww!

Everything Jack does has an exclamation point next to it. It's how I get into character for him. Angst! Murderous! Flirty! Silly! Doing paperwork! Asleep!

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