Hi, Tony Light Steps, where are you in this moment? I'm tired of your absence. Will you back anytime soon? I miss your art and your letters in your own, "Tonish" lighthearted style. I hope you are doing great, but if you are down, write neverhteless, I will be happy to hear from you and entertain you if you are down.

Yo Man.....long time no post... You're probably busting your ass somewhere creating some juicy art. Either way, people here always look forward to seeing your next unveiling. Till then...Peace

[codakromek]

Hello everyone!!!!

so sorry I was absent for so long,,,,,even more sorry that what I have to show is so out of keeping with what I ussually do,,,,,,,I have been really busy,,,,,,,,and I am in the process of learning lots of important but boring things!!!!!! yay!!! anyhoo,,,,, I just felt that if I did not post this weekend,,, then I would never post again,,,,,, but,,, I got a long weekend and that gave me the time..........here is some of the things I have done in my spare time,,,,,,,,,I have been doing so much work these last couple of months at work,,,,,some very funny shit,,,,but I regret to say I cannot post it for at least another year,,,,,,,*sad face*,,,,,, anyway,,, I am getting settled in now and can see the light at the end of the tunnel in terms of having more time to work on my own stuff and contribute to this great forum,, (which, consequently, I do not even recognize any longer, hehe)

here is my meager contribution for now,,, I promise to show more quality in the coming weeks,,,,,, these are just the results of my fledgling investigations with different ways of producing 2-d works........

I am talking alot to avoid showing this tripe,,,hehe..

first, a graphite guy,,,,, doing tons of this,,, but no time to scan,,,,,boohoo....



been working with the idea of outputting jpegs form different 3-d packages and pretty-ing them up in PS and painter....



more of that



working with some new brush sets I made in my spare time........



these, as always,, for therapy,, haha



another one of these,,,, still in the middling stages....



looking through the king kong artbook and wanted to do some fire.....



just dabbing over some graphite...



Me singing a song of love to some disinterested red head.....



and a little wheelie..

that fat kid::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

hi there,, thanks for the kind words man,,,,,,, hopefully one day,, my drawings will be more impressive than my displays of low self esteem,,,teehee.......glad you find humour in the work,,, it is my little addiction,,, sitting on the couch and drawing while I giggle to myself and act retarded.........in that respect, good things have always been coming to me..... I am working conceptiong now, and I am so busy,,,,,,,,reading all these posts makes me know that this forum is a big part of my enjoyment through art,,, thanx!!!!! take care.

chris noeth:::::::::::::::::::::::

Yes, there are many layers,,, sometime 50 or more....... don't try to emulate that, though,,,,,,hehe,,,,haha! I am constantly flattening,, adjusting,,,,,,, erasing, merging and all of that buisiness........ If I can say one thing to help about process,,,,,,, don't be shy,, just do shit, all of it,,,, don't try to be logical,,,,, just work and work,,,,,,, you don't want to think about what to do next,,, you should be familiar enough with the tools ( not the process) to have 100 things you would like to do next to an image,,know what I mean? The process is going to have to wait for a while,,, I am frightfully busy and that kind of thing......... I will get to it though,,,,,,, promise.

hey man,,, glad you like em'''......... haha,, they are a lot of fun to do,,,,,, of course, if they had their own world,,,,, it would be full of problems and that kind of thing,,,,,,I feel like as long as I leave the poor little things confused and posing in akward positions,,,, they will remain oblivious to the endless melancholy of being accountable for cleaning behind their ears, paying the bills and feeding the turtle.... haha... thanks for stopping by......

Yes! !

[Idiot Apathy]

Dude, tony - shuddup; these are awesome. Always a treat!

This one, the therapy... it works! Had a huge smile on my face.

Love the love song to the redhead too.

[Bojee]

Heh, Welcome back! Now go to your room without supper!

[salaryman]

good to see you back!

I'd love to see more of those graphites, get scanning!

C.

[Justin.]

Your rendering rocks, this one is HILARIOUS.

[sve]

Hello, my dear friend. Wow, wow, wow, what an incredibly huge sense of guilt you poured out on us, unsuspected. Geez, that's some mighty feeling, wonder who grew it in you, hope it is not me. Although just for my education I would love to know ( for future ) on which buttons I should press to get this lovely response.

I know btw that you were on this forum in the middle of September, but didn't have the urge to say hi, but it's OK. I'm happy you are back, my witty friend !!!!

After all, I drag feet too, big time. I have no desire to draw pictures about Russia. No desire at all. And you know it is no good for me, I promised to you, although it was just a gesture from your side... but still.... Oh well.
Call me bad names, Russia doesn't inspire me. I want to draw something funny or lyrical, but I see post boxes near the ugly houses, pulled with efforts from the wall, beaten up, burnt, shocking to see as a real evidence of incredible in its concentration hate, destruction. And other things like this. I'm just not that kind of person, dear Tony, to see this and focus on this and bring these shameful things in this world again and again through my art. Even if the message is right, it is still sad and ugly things, which everyone is aware about, unless they live in vacuum. Those things are like rocks tied to our necks, they pull us to the bottom, even if they are truth. There are limits to what we can tolerate, my dear. Maybe I'm wrong.

How are you, my fearless buddy boy. Even when you drag your feet, you still fly a thousand miles between each drag. In your imagination .
I wish I could build little cabin, sort of like rickshaw in China, you know, and ..... hehehe. I'm kidding, I will never do that to you, I respect you, dear, but my tongue is itchy .

I see you heart is in pain. I feel bad about that, and really don't understand this, really can't understand this how it could happen to guy like you.. It will pass though, Tony, this is a good side, nothing is permanent, you can be sure that your sad things will go away too. You will remember it for some time, then less and less and one day you wake up and boom... you are a free your own man again.

OK, back to art.

Looked at your graphite drawing, I'm back to my old trick now, you see, trying to see more than I should. Lines are very clear and strong and organised and tough when you outlined this guy. I wonder what it means. I think it means that you are quite organised himself, despite the fact you always create light chaos with every your coming on this side. Lines are almost like the ones architects used to define building silhouettes. And you constructed his figure in the same way. That's partly why he looks so weightless, like a rocket about to launch off.
Girls figure is built differently, lines are slow and shy, you are less confident with woman figure, I think.

Industrial environments. Oh my... suffocating sound... Wish I know why you like them so much. I on the contrary want to destroy all these barriers and balks after looking at them for too long. OK. if you can't say anything nice.... They are claustrophobic. or maybe I'm claustrophobic.

Jazz singing metal siblings are good people, yeah, I wouldn't close door in front of their noses when they come to me to collect some money for one way ticket to their home planet. They are a good therapy, just by standing near, shiny and round.
OK, therapy is over, now more darkness for two pages, torches reminded me Russian post boxes again.

Hmm, you singing... nice similarity, Wanted to open my mouth and ask you to draw me, and suddenly remember that you did, twice. hmmm. I'm not blond at all, though. redraw, hehehe.
Oh well. I know, no crtis, just some strange rambling. but I'm a bit tired dear and this update is very eclectic.
See you, dear Tony, be well and don't worry too much about anything. Really glad you are happy with you job, it is a lot and rarely people have this in their life.
Bye, I love you.
P.S. May I ask who is codakromecbro, 14 years old?
P.P.S. would I like to be the only owner of your digital art? . hehe, it is not like owning material heavy canvas, well, I would love to have piece of your soul in my house, that's for sure, but rights on your art are yours. hehe, thanks for the smile though.

This stuff is awesome. I love all of the experimenting.
