more double posts
It's not that I don't like doing this, and it's not that I'm not doing art... really.
just been sick.
Here's a scan of a bird I drew. the original is in Micron color pens and is no more than an inch and a half across. I like how it seems like water color at this magnification.
and since we're doing a bird-thing... here's a WIP of some chicks. Taken from a photo by RikuLover27 on deviantart. This one's entirely digital, Corel Painter X

Heyho
Well.. fist time poster here!...
I'm Tim Davis, currently studying Computer Games Art at Teesside University, I like milkshake, flashy lights and drawing.
When I'm not doodling I work on a thing called Vassal40k, I draw all the sprites and game pieces. So one or two of those may appear on here..
Quick doodle from this morning..
Cheers, Tim

Starcraft Marine
Good Monday morning to you! I'm thinking of this Art-a-thon space as a place that I can stretch my wings a little. As artists, we're constantly challenging ourselves in little ways with questions like, 'can I draw this', 'is there a better angle to draw from', 'does that line look right'. While dealing with the minutiae of growing each and every bit of art, I think we can sometimes miss the bigger picture.
Certainly we can't always hit every point or try to grow every aspect of our art and ourselves at the same time. However, I do think that we can focus on a particular aspect, trait or behavior to improve until it becomes habit, and eventually reflex.
This inexorably leads me to my own particular goal. While drawing something every day won't be terribly difficult for me, I think that drawing something every day that I value will be. You see, I constantly undervalue my art. I even have a term for it. "Throwaway art". It's the doodles, sketches, drawings that sustain me through my day, the things I can put down in a few minutes and then forget about. I can't tell you how many times I've sketched something out, only to have someone come along and tell me how wonderful it is. What do I do with it? Give it away, without a second thought. While I recognize the good that this can generate and the joy that people have when I give it to them, I also need to value my own art and effort more.
That is why I'm here. That is why I'm posting. That is what I'm practicing... in addition to all the different scribbles and techniques and tools. Come back tomorrow for another installment!

Art-a-thon #1
So, in joining up with the Art-a-thon, I'll be submitting a wide variety of things, from quick comics to sketches to fully rendered pieces of art. My goal here is to push myself artistically, to experiment and play a bit, but mostly not get stuck in this idea of ONLY doing comics while the rest of my art skills atrophy.
Not all of the art here will be available on my various sites, (scottv.com, Hellhasfoundme.com
and Striogi.deviantart.com) this is a more for-fun kind of forum for art.
so with no further ado, here is my first posting!
The Letter

If you would like to see my past work stop by my website or my Deviant Art
