Whats up everybody! So I went on a mission to dig up any old art that I could, and this is all that I could find. Its kind of sad since I used to have a massive binder full of art from when I was a kid that I cant locate! All of these date back to my middle school days, and its really cool to look back and see how far I have progressed ! This may surprise you but back in the day digital art was not everywhere like it is now. Us up and coming artist had to use these prehistoric tools called colored pencils lol! I would urge you to hold on to your old art so it does not end up lost in limbo like mine did lol. I had alot of comic book inspiration so any original characters I did ended up super buff as you can see with the bald dude, and gargoyle/dog guy.
The one I am most proud of out of this bunch is that second place win I got in an EGM magazine back when they had those cool art contest. I was so excited that I circled, and wrote my name on it even though It was already printed on the page lol! Definitely a nostalgia trip. You guys should look up your old art to. I had fun lol. Anyway, just sharing my trip into the past with you guys. Enjoy.
Thanks! Looking at this stuff really just reminds me of how lazy an artist I am lol. Spawn, the bald guy, the bird, and the gargoyle thing where all supposed to have backgrounds but that never happened. Still hate doing backgrounds honestly. As for the letter art, I think I got beat because the winner had an actual theme to his art. That was back when Sega first announced making 3rd party games so him merging Sonic and Mario was a pretty interesting idea at the time. I really wanted to win that controller though!!! lol
I hate doing backgrounds too XD It's the part where I'm pretty much done with the drawing and I'm like "really? Do I have to?? *whine*"
Oh I see... I was looking at yours and his and you obviously had the better executed piece of the two! I've been beat before on not having a strong theme back in primary school too so that lesson's drummed into me since XD I wonder if you could get those controllers cheap now? There's a huge market for retro consoles and accessories
Wow, that's a carbon copy of my thought process when its time to do a background as well lol. Followed up by me staring at the picture for a few minutes like this ....... before saying screw this, and closing Photoshop lol! I think after losing the contest I did start trying to add some sort of rhyme and reason to my drawings. Mainly I find myself trying to think of clever crossovers. Now that you mention it I probably can find that controller pretty cheap! I have to look into that now. Buy and display it on my mantle with an engraving that says "I SHOULD HAVE WON" lol. Kidding of course......Or am I lol
Seeing this makes me want to dig up my old art one of these days. You were pretty awesome for a middle schooler. Especially love the Megaman X fanart : P
