The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

A handful of pics...

My main strength is blueprints and map-making. That's what I was taught to do at Brookyln Tech, and I will likely be better at technical drawing than artistic works for the rest of my life.

Regardless, I still wish to draw my characters one day... so...

Here are my first serious stabs are drawing animals. Some raptors, a dragon's head, and a Tyrannosaurus. I don't pretend I ever took serious lessons for these, nor that I have any real talent... I will only get better with practice... give it a year or two...  :lol

Hey, that ain't bad at all. Dinosaurs are really difficult to draw, so getting something at all is a great start.

Watching, and hope you improve ;)

Love your maps, BTW.

Thanks.

The maps are easily my strong suit, and even then, it is only really technical drawings... Still, if I can increase my skill in the "regular" art enough, I might be able to merge the two...

And the really hard parts for me are limbs, and faces, along with very curved lines...

Now, to try some different poses with this guy!  :lol

I got a very basic animation up.

Just a clip of a Dracon's tail being stepped on. You can bet I will post longer versions!

 :D

Here's one that I like to think of as a happy accident. I'll share it here:

These are the Hork-Bajir from the Animorphs series, if you've ever heard of them.

Here's a new poster. It doesn't quite fit in the other thread.

Here's a new one. I've gotten out of the habit of posting most of these, but the improvement from about six weeks ago is so dramatic, I had to post it. Just check the start of the thread to see how much I used to stink. I still have a way to go, but this is a major improvement.

Here's a more detailed image. I just didn't want my own thread to die, so I decided to show the second draft of a Hork-Bajir head.
