Some art

[Oscar]

Hey all,

It's been a while since I made a front page post. I've been pretty occupied with school latley, I'll try to update more frequently further on however :)

I'm currently having a course called Scientific Illustration, which is basically that you get to do drawings of animals and plants. Here's the result of my botanical illustration: http://deletionquality.net/art

We were supposed to use a traditional method, ink dotting. I wasn't too far from snapping doing all those dots but the final result looks pretty much okay in my opinion. Leave a comment.

^^ Wow. That's really good!
Wish I could draw like that but I know I just need to practice more.

Doing the whole thing with ink dotting though? Yikes.
Totally worth all the hard work though.

[Rimmy]

looks good how long did it take you to draw that?

[Oscar]

Thanks. About 15 - 20 hours I guess.

[Rimmy]

I've only drawn a little as a hobby in classes at school (and I don't mean the art classes) so I don't know much about specific drawing styles but it would be really annoying to me if I had to use only ink dots.

[Cyanrain]

Nice :) I would't have the temper for anything like that.

[Mattbot]

Looks far better than "pretty much okay", I think the illustration looks fantastic.

[Killing_Time]

Looks great! It's almost of the same quality as what you see in garden books and whatnot. I say almost because you'd probably be met with some grumpy publishers/authors if you needed that long to make it.

[TheOnlyHorse]

Your flower deserves a place in some kind of nature guide book.

[Frank]

I looks awesome!
Also if I needed to dot the ink I would go crazy.

[Oscar]

Daww, thankies.


I say almost because you'd probably be met with some grumpy publishers/authors if you needed that long to make it. My teacher could probably pull it off in an hour or two, haha.

[BanHammor]

Looks great, but way too long to make.

[username]

Whoa. Very nice art, thar, Oscar. I'm diggin' it.
Wonderful job. :thumbsup:
Lord knows I would never have the patience for that.

[Frank]

Looks great, but way too long to make.

The longer it takes the nicer it gets.:-3

[rainor]

Holy shitz.
All i can say about it.
It would probably take me a few days and even so.It would turn out like crap ._.

[Howlingwolf214]

Nice job.

Your grip on sanity must be pretty firm. I'd have been driven over the edge after about the third hour.

[Scythe Cat]

Wow Oscar, the flowers look very beautiful! :3
(I can't stop looking at them! :D)

[kronosdragon]

that's lovely Oscar. ^^

[Razgriz]

My teacher could probably pull it off in an hour or two, haha.

Oh... Dear... Lord...

The quality is what one may expect from a garden, flower-encyclopedia or so. It's awesome, basically.

[atreides]

That's some damn nice art buddy. :)

[Heroslayer56]

WOW, that is awesome.
I would just go "Screw this and walk away:mad2:" after the 3-4th hour, but 20 hours?You must have some serious grip on your sanity Oscar :thumbsup:

[Kreekakon]

Hmmm...shading does seem to get kinda weird on some of the leaves in some parts.

But it's still mostly a work of awesome:thumbsup:

[Bloody Shadow]

Wow! nice. You sure got talent!
It looks VERY hard lol. But again nice pic.keep it up

[Khorne47]

Wow...just wow. That's the kind of quality drawing I would expect from gardening books.

[TYLE1001]

Awesome art,like everybody says,it simply looks like it's from a reference book or something:)

Keep it up:thumbsup:

[GolyBlood]

Pretty flowers.

[Sirrin Nacht]

That drawing looks excellent. I wouldn't mind spending a long time drawing. I find drawing in general to be soothing, particularly if its slow and gradual.

Amen to that.

[Cajolocs]

It's really beutifull!
What kind of flowers are they?

[Oscar]

Latin name is Kalenchoe blossfeldiana. It's just some random small plant you'd keep in your house :)

[Scuds]

i would give anything to be able to draw like that. Exellent work.

[LloydFaze]

beautiful art. you should make more of these :). also i was wondering if your working on a new castle or what. thanks oscar :)

[Howlingwolf214]

I'm sure Oscar gets this question a lot so I'll take it upon myself to answer.

It has been announced that Oscar is working on a secret project, though no other information has been given.

As for more Castle, It says in the FAQ about a Fourth Castle:
There are plans for it, but don't expect it for a while yet.

On an off side note, the FAQ needs updating, it still has mentions of Castle Repercussions being in production.

Apologies for going off topic, but I thought answering was the best way to prevent spam on other topics.

[Hitaro]

Looks awesome =)

That's right though, the FAQ could really use an update.

Your talent never ceases to amaze me Oscar :D

Thanks for the science. And by the way, the art looks better than the one in books O.O

[nino]

Oscar? are you sure you didn't rip this out from one of the school books? becuse this looks so real!:eek2:

[Bloody Bomb]

AAAARRRRGHHHHH! How did you manage that without your pen slipping and making a line?! That's what happens to me whenever I ink dot, which is why I don't ink dot anymore!

[mariomaster34]

Hey not to be pushy but do you have any idea on when the rest of the Castle Series might be out because they are REALLY AWESOME! so maybe like which year or something.


Keep up the GREAT work!!!
