BTW Kyri I love the happy/satisfied look on your orcs face with the impaled guys in the background.

Which reminds me I need to make sure my next one has an actual background and something other than a profile for perspective.

Keep the thread alive! C'mon folks everyone here can manage a pic a day.

not medievil, not b/w but it sort of fits
the post, 10min.

*Looks around*
Er... Hi everyone.
New to the forums and all... Well, relatively speaking of course - I've been lurking for a little over a year.

I've always been rather fascinated with drawing and painting, so I may as well point out that you lot in here are pretty much all heroes to me (well, more or less). Of course, being the kind of person I am, I can't very well just sit around and admire something, but instead I have to try my hand at it myself. I've had more than one utterly displeasing result during my short time of drawing/painting, and it's taken up a place in my life that's... Well, small to say the least. But then I came across this thread, and it just beckoned me to at least TRY to contribute (hopefully) a picture of my own.

Oh, and I'd like to thank MorbidGuy for this great initiative! It truly is an incredibly inspiring thread, and I'm so glad that I was lucky enough to come across it.

Oh and here's the picture (again. I think I found a good webspace now... maybe)

I'm totally new to this B/W art stuff, so I hope I didn't break any unwritten thread rules or so when making the picture.

*EDIT* It's supposed to resemble Elijah Wood as Frodo from LoTR

*EDIT #2*
Okay, so outside linking can be a pain... Er, I'll just go providerhunting for now.

*EDIT #3*
Hah!

Boom - cheers dude, love your last two additions btw. Alot were done at a fairly low res (1000x750), some were double that.

Lolion - Hi, all I did was start the thread, it's you people that made it what it is. Really great work everyone.

Damn these are some pretty sweet B&W's! These are quick and fun, so I'll have toss up a few.

Keep them coming! ;-)

I've been loving this thread, and I just had to try one of these. This took about 10 min, and it's my first time using a tablet. I'm going to have to take a little longer and do something more like the awesome ones Cos and Morbid have been posting. But in the meantime...

another quickie... I found that these 15 minutes b/w drawings are a great way to warm up before work - makes you loosen up somehow

Nice drawings everyone. Great thread!
,boom

Morbid Guy · Posted: Fri Apr 26, 2002 3:29 am

Really great work everyone.

Lightbringer- cheers mate

great stuff, especially love the dragon, really nice texture effect you got there.

Lolion- Great looking pic of Frodo. You know I still haven't seen that film, I must be like the only person on here who hasn't. :P

Cos- Love that new hun character man. That's a really great one.

Eric- Great pic. Reminds me of old english victorian art. You have a really nice style, hope to see more.

Boomstick- Love that mignolaish style of yours. I definetely agree that these are a great way to loosen up.

This one was very quick. Not sure if it really belongs, not very medievil really. :P

WOW!!! Ok, said it before, you guys rule. Went and busted out the wacom and tried my hand at it. First try with this sorta thing..second wacom drawing =P Overall I'm pretty proud,

if the image doesn't show up, take a gander at http://drunkengoat.8k.com/MoleMan.jpg there she be

fireburnspaper · Posted: Fri Apr 26, 2002 12:58 pm

Woo! Gave it a whirl with another one, the first guy with the huge nose was actually semi-based off a little sculpture I made out of my kneaded eraser with my best friends help =P..Joint projects rule. This was just a little odd..thing..tribal guy, tried some real basic tattoo work to see how it'd come out in the scratch boardish look

if it doesnt work, again http://drunkengoat.8k.com/MaestroBW.jpg

aColdOldKodiak · Posted: Fri Apr 26, 2002 4:31 pm

my first time at this too. Pretty cool think I'll do it more often.

Roh · Posted: Fri Apr 26, 2002 9:24 pm

heres my contribution, he's not medival but he's close in style.
he's a 10 minute illustrator draw with Armagedon playing on TV for reference.

Hope you like!

not very good. and not finished either (not sure how best to detail it. how to go about cross hatching on a curved surface without the straight lines ruining the illusion of curve on the neck.) need to detail more, clean up the more wavering lines, and add some cross-hatched mid tones.

PS I know anatomy is off- head shape is off and neck is too long, this was not intended but I used no references and was out of practice.

Well done I guess. I'm already getting tired of the barbarians and monsters stuff I always see on here. Anybody do anything a little bit more mature? No wonder there a so few women on this board!

Vesuvius · Posted: Sat Apr 27, 2002 3:13 pm

a.) there are a lot of women on this board.
b.) a man in a bowler hat is not a barbarian
c.) a lot of non-fantasy work is posted
d.) you're a fucking moron

tyron · Posted: Sat Apr 27, 2002 3:56 pm

an old one.

wayfinder · Posted: Sat Apr 27, 2002 4:33 pm

ok, didn't realize the thread was still alive, so i'm posting these here as well.

sorry for the double post.

edit #321543 or so: made smaller versions, full size is still in their own thread (black & white, they're like day and night)

Benji Schupp · Posted: Sat Apr 27, 2002 11:48 pm

Wow. Way cool. For all those of you who, like me, have been wondering if it's digital or ink, I went to Cos's link and found out that it is digital. But with skills like those they could have done it in ink as well.

illuminat · Posted: Sun Apr 28, 2002 12:11 pm

[my first post]

uh... hi everyone!
this thread kicks ass. amazing work y'all! i especially dig the ones by cos.

there used to be some kinda window on the left but i wasn't sure whether it worked so i just left it out...

[edit] typos...

Morbid Guy · Posted: Sun Apr 28, 2002 5:01 pm

Seeing some really great stuff here from people.

Here's a new one.

fireburnspaper · Posted: Sun Apr 28, 2002 5:45 pm

Morbid Guy:..that's scary..I like =P For some reason I keep thinking it looks soooorta like one of those oooold old deep sea diving outfits..someone took off the helmet, and used a blow torch on the guys face..then he came back to life ~_^ freaky..I like lots =P Awesome texture you get with the stuff. You and Cos make me feel so inspired! *beam*

BooMSticK · Posted: Mon Apr 29, 2002 2:32 am

Whoa, love that last one Kyri! very nice!

,boom

fireburnspaper · Posted: Mon Apr 29, 2002 12:21 pm

Woo! Did another one, not entirely proud of it, but..eh..stuff happens no? I guess I need to stop being afraid of solid blacks for shadows =P
Wayfinder: WOO! Smaller! Can see the entire pic without scrolling left! =) Excellent work I must say...again.
Boomstick: ...EEEEEEE!!! Scary..excellent =P

And without further adeu... the pic, some thiefish type...maybe

and as usual, if it doesn't show up , do the ol' drag and drop http://drunkengoat.8k.com/thief.jpg

Eric Pommer · Posted: Mon Apr 29, 2002 1:12 pm

Here's another. I love these!

I think the horns are crooked. Took me about 25 min.
