Imager777,

Dude thanks. I had no luck at the library. I think I'm gona try and talk my wife in to going to see the "Last samurai". You know art reference. It's a good excuse to see a move at least.

Thanks again for helping me sharpen the blades that will destroy your Ninja.:evilbat:

[scottg]

Thats o.k. Imager is going to need all the help he can get.HEHE

[imager777]

o.O` <----- imager777 gives scottg the secret ninja look of amazement; and continues to actually draw instead of talk.

[scottg]

lol!!!

[imager777]

While scottg was caught off guard sharpening his blade and admiring his pecs, the shinobi worrior takes the first cut.

[scottg]

Hey don't make fun of my pecs. I have nice pecs. I can make them bounce.:p

Nice little sketch there too.

[scottg]

Here's a sketch. This was gona be the pencil image. But I don't like it. To stiff. So now, it's just a study.

[imager777]

Not bad, not bad...
Lets see if I can keep up.


Tricksie hobitses, try to sneaks me on Christmas break they do.

[scottg]

Sweet. :chug:

[scottg]

All right. Here are my entries to the t-dome challenge between my self and Imager. The painting is actually a little bit bigger than what you see here. It was bigger than the scanner, but it only cut a couple of inches of the top and side. Also I’m sorry for the small pictures. The site I use has a size min. I'll put up a link to a bigger image in another post.

Can’t wait to see your stuff Imager!

Very nice; I like the pencil piece the best. It seems less stiff than the other one to me. The painted one looks good too, but gives me the impression that he's posing for a picture or something.

I think I'll take advantage of the extra time I have left, before posting anything.

[scottg]

Come on man the anticipation killing me! Where's your stuff???

Hey just wondering. what painting program do you have?

[imager777]

I use GIMP since I switched to Linux, but I used to use PhotoShop. They're basically the same thing.

Here is my pencil piece:

The contrast in the scan is way off, but it's the best I could do on my little puter. I may try to rescan it later, and see if I can get a better one. I won't use that as an excuse though. I'm just letting you know, so you don't think I completely suck. I'll post the color pic later today, when I get some more time. I want to work on some things first.

Anyhoo, bad contrast or not, your time is up.

[imager777]

Aaaaah!!... I'm late! I'll post it. as soon as I upload it.

color entry:

[imager777]

Scott, if you see this, feel free to post everything in the final images thread. I'll emal you too.

You get extra points, because I was a little bit late. Other than that, let the best artist win.

I'm still going to try to get a better scan of the pencil entry, but I won't change anything.

Good luck...

[scottg]

Man, very nice work. And your not late. I'll tell you again, you're illustrations are great. The pencil piece is very original. And the painting is awesome I need to work on my "camera angles". You taught me allot. Thanks. And good luck to you.
