Art up in this piece: Post the last two thing's you've drawn

[Rob]

See what I mean... INFORMATION! :o

[Gar]

That's pretty much what I reckon his regular speaking voice is like.

[Mari]

Man, I'm jealous! My regular speaking voice is just weak and slightly prone to confusing r l and w. :-\

INFORMATION voice sounds like way fun to have.

Anyways, I dunno if this counts as "last thing I've drawn" or not since I've been working on it off and on for so long, but I keep meddling with it today, and the sad part is that I really don't think I'm done changing things either:


....you know... after uploading it I just keep looking at her eyes... looks like they're wandering rather low. I should probably fix that.

[Rob]

I think it looks pretty amazing... AMAZING! 8)

[HarringtonAW]

That's really good!

Here are a couple of things I did recently. They're supposed to represent playing cards of sorts with a venetian theme. As such, I used the suits from the Italian deck, staves and cups.

My brother is doing the other two suits, swords and rings, for the whole set.

King of Staves


Queen of Cups

Those are really fantastic. Such complexity and depth. I see something new every time I look at them. Very nice.  8)

[Gar]

Wow Harrington, those are great! I love the use of inversion to create aspects of either image.

What's the sheet music?

[HarringtonAW]

Thanks, Rob & Gar! That's very kind.

What's the sheet music?

Nothing really. I couldn't think of anything good to put in his right hand. Going with the venetian theme, I recalled that the mascherari often use music to decorate their masks, so I want with that.

I probably should have had it be the music of something significant or meaningful, but I'd probably be too wishy-washy to make up my mind on what to use anyway.

I wonder if it would sound good if someone zoomed it up and tried playing it on the piano. I wonder if Blue still lurks around here and if she plays piano.

Here's a t-shirt design I came up with today

[Rob]

Yes but how much for slaps? ;D

[Alectric]

Those playing cards are really, really amazing.  I'd love to see more once you complete them!  Are you going to make them into an actual deck?

I noticed that for some of the patterns on the king, the top and bottom aren't pure inversions.  Is there a reason you did it this way?

[Gar]

Yes but how much for slaps? ;D

Actually it would be funnier with a price tag

[HarringtonAW]

I wonder if it would sound good if someone zoomed it up and tried playing it on the piano.

I could just say it was free-form jazz.

Are you going to make them into an actual deck?

Right now I'm just planning on doing a set of four pictures, one picture for each suit; staves, cups, swords, rings.

I noticed that for some of the patterns on the king, the top and bottom aren't pure inversions.  Is there a reason you did it this way?

I wanted the two images to merge seamlessly so I didn't turn the pattern upside-down for the bottom half because it might have created a seam. I suppose I could have chosen a different pattern that looks the same right side up as upside down, but I kinda liked that one.

Just started doing the 3D thing... eeeeeeeh, lol. Maybe I should stick with painting.

[Rob]

I like it. Ten years ago you would have gotten an obscene amount of money to make such things for a living.  ;D
