The Ninja Thread

[Madi The Unicorn]

Welcome one, welcome all, to the tremendous, spectacular, mind-boggling thread of ninjas...

The Ninja Thread!

[/b]

Be shocked, be amazed, be absolutely disappointed by this one time event, showing that I have way too much time on my hands, since I've already spent about 20 minutes writing this damn introduction, which you'll probably overlook anyway!

Feel free to laugh, point and even throw vegetables at anything I upload, for you all know thats what it's here for!

By the way, please tell me how to improve! Don't be nasty like: "Thats BS" im looking more on the lines of "thats ok, but maybe you could ___ to improve." I'll never get better unless you tell me what I'm doing wrong and give me advice on how to get better!

Enjoy, enjoy! [/center][/font]

*wipes sweat off forehead* Golly that was hard work! My legs have gone numb! (Though that could just be the way I'm sitting on them...)

Anywho, you probably clicked this thread hoping for some ninjaness, and are fed up of reading all that s**t i wrote before, so.. fair does.

So first of all I'll show you this thing I did last night.

SPOILER: Click to show

Thoughts? Improvements? Share! Will upload more.. sometime. Admittedly, I did this at around 12-1am and I has lack of scanner, so I took a picture (explaining bad quality..) And I did use a reference image, but thats on my phone, so I cant upload it. xD I'll try to take a picture of that picture later. ;D

xD Thankies. Its this guy from my school who's birthday is this... Friday. :3 And for christmas I gave him a card with him as a cartoon leprechaun on (he's irish) and he gave me a massive toblerone for it ( ;D!) so I thought i'd do something better. xD :3

[Luke]

I just thought you were an avid Beatles fan xD

I love the shading effect you put on the neck!

[Madi The Unicorn]

^ Effect...? :L Psh whatever I'll go with it, even though I'm not sure what you mean xD

[Tee Em]

That's really awesome. ^_^ My only crit is the hair; the shading very uniform and not quite... hairy, if that makes sense. It looks too much like pencil strokes and not enough like hair. But other than that, it's really awesome and that shading is absolutely sick.

[Madi The Unicorn]

^ I get what you mean.. but the actual drawing was tiny, so please forgive my poopty mechanical pencil for not being able to make it look more convincingly "hairy"

And omg, I didn't just want to colour it all black because it has like lighter bits where the light hits it, so I was like "nope, I'll spend a little longer on this!" and then instantly regretted that decision. :L His hair is frustrating to draw. I should have found a picture where his hair was gelled back more... *shrug* Oh well.

[Tee Em]

I get the whole tiny thing. xD It's difficult to draw accurately on smaller works, so yeah. It still came out pretty nicely.

GOOD TRY. *thumbs-up*

[Madi The Unicorn]

You said "Good try" but all I could see in my head was:

[Tee Em]

I HAD THAT IMAGE IN MIND, TOO. XD

Sorry if that sounded malicious, though. I really like the drawing and I wish I had your mad skillz. :]

[Madi The Unicorn]

When i got the image of the star though I cracked up. Oh dear what even is my life..

And it didn't sound malicious! ITS COOL, RELAX. And psh my "skillz" are just baby skills. THEY WILL GROW. Slowly..

[sugarfae]

I don't see anything wrong with it!
Keep up the work!

[Madi The Unicorn]

For me making my own thread I actually post f all xD

So here is an update of what I have done this year in my art class:

1st Project


Cell inspired piece. Daler board (like 1 1/2 daler boad in length btw, it was pretty big), collage (all that nerve shape cell is collaged bits from magazines) tights + cardboard + idk what the stuffing was called but thats what those random circles and weirdy-shapes are made of, sprayed blue/purple. Weird ass spring things were made with this really flexible metal wire with beads and ribbon stuck on them. Idk how it relates to cells, but it took sexytimeing ages and was my least favourite project I've done in school literally ever.

2nd Project:

Sorry for the angle, I cba to fix this XD
This was my surrealist project. That figure may or may not be a poopty painting of Heather Morris, you will never know *ahem* this was my first time painting with acrylic. Ever. Which is odd because I've being doing art at school for 6 years now, and they've never once told me how to use the bloody material. Basically I was crappy at it (and we have 10 weeks per project including research observational drawings etc.. thats my excuse for why this sucks so much. In the end I gave up and used coloured pencils to assist my bad painting skills).

3rd (and current project-for 7 more days!poope not a lot of time left)

All coloured pencil work I have 7 days from now to complete this and the book for this project as well as go back and complete the evaluation and some other stuff for my surrealist project. Yes this is the Hogwarts Express. I removed the sign because the project was based on regional stuff and whilst trains ARE, the hogwarts express.. not quite. So yeah.

Since my last post and in between these projects I also did a little bit of set design, a tardis painting last summer and some doodles here and there which I haven't uploaded.. We'll see if I get round to it xD
