Hey there /art/

Do you guys ever copyright some of your finished works? Any experience with using the copyright office?

From what I understand any piece of work is "copyrighted" from the moment it's made, but it seems the copyright office is a solid way to make a public time stamp of your creation to protect it from infringement.

I've been doing some craft work and I can up with a rather sweet and so far sell-able design. An old lady was telling me how unique it was and was surprised I didn't have any kind of signature or trademark on them, telling me I should really get some kind of copyright on them before someone goes and robs the idea. I think she may have a point so I'm looking into it.

any tricks on how can I transfer this on to this skate deck? drawing on the wood using a pencil works fine but the tracing paper I have doesnt seem to work. should I just cut out the outline and trace that? I would draw freestyle but the lettering is pretty intricate and I want it to look just like like the box art.

I make these and nobody likes them or rather I don't really know where to show them. Some of my friends are in the "art" community where I live and they don't acknowledge them either. Maybe it's because I didn't go to art-school? (I'm just a sound recordist)
I've developed a really slow method to do these but I can control almost everything in the glitch. So, what I'm really doing is databending. Whatever. I really like controlling the "error" rate, the colour flow and the legibility of the videos I bend.
It is a slow method because of rendering and exporting times. It took me 2 weeks to produce a 30 minute video that pleased me.
I don't really call it "my art" because I've only developed a method that works for me. "Works" as in "this is a fun way to avoid masturbation or at least give my porn collection another use".

'Sup /art/. I was just over in /lit/ a few I-don't-know-how-many-hours-ago stimming my ass off over a /lit/ related somesuch. Anyways partly for the hell of it and partly for the not having a related image for my topic, I posted one of the 'paintings' I had made using Windows XP MsPaint earlier this year. The pictures are the result of those (I tend to assume) infamous selection + ctrl hotkeys, losing my job and my apartment and of course a little grass when I could get a hold of some. Once in a yearly-ever-so-often I'd contribute to MsPaint threads here, so I thought what the hell, might as well make my own thread for the first time.

I've had a raging metaphorical erection for MsPaint since the age of six or seven, but now in adulthood 'seems that same metaphorical throbbing upward direction is kinda starting to go all ED on me, what with that being adult and having to have a job and a place to live and never having any time to waste time on drawing/painting.

All the above bullshit typed, just thought I'd post it here. Take a look if want, tell me what you think about the picture if you want. Truth is I'm rather curious what the 420chan /art/ thinks about it.

I'm anticipating being told it's boring as hell, but in the event someone's interested I do have a few more I could post from the same general time, uh, frame.

I'm currently still spinning on my personal stim of choice at the moment, I'm up and down and don't usually post my shit due to internet paranoia and whatnot, but here's hoping it's at least something of merit in the mind someone out there in this glorious chemical-friendly community.

I joined art sites for one reason, and for one reason only: to receive feedback. I've been killing for critiques, whether positive or negative, so that I can improve my skill.

So, is there any way you guys could critique my artwork? I would prefer comments on my actual Deviantart, but feedback in the threads comments would also be most appreciated.

And just to clarify, I'm not looking for watchers, favorites, page views, etc. I'm looking for artist who are willing to offer their feedback and opinion. I want to improve, not be popular.

Thanks guys.

Look at the girl in the middle's face, her nose goes into her forehead and just looks generally squashed. Or her hand with her elongated fingers. Or link's huge hand and relatively tiny wrist.

Also what Cornelius said, I think. You can have styling without perfection, but there's a fine line between good and, well, not good. Having a background helps take some of the pressure off perfection and adds style.

Glad to help. One last thing is that while those Big Book of How to Draw Manga books are fine to learn how to draw a certain way as a jumping off point but some of the lessons end short and its important to develop a personal style and accents within your art or just get lumped onto the pile of people grasping out or reach towards the manga style. See what other literature you can find on different aspects of drawing and art, not just how-to book but become more analytical of all the media (cartoons/comics/illustration) you enjoy to deconstruct what the other artists are doing to get their particular look or style.

Wow, really, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Your feedback is really helping. As I go back and look at some of my artwork, I see what I need to improve on. For a while, I think I kind of lost faith in what I was drawing and was just doing simple, emotionless things that I called, "drawings."

You reminded me what it means to be an artist: to not just sit down and think, "Well, that's my best." You reminded me that as an artist, to always give my all and to strive to become better. I guess you could say, I found a comfort zone, and now I'm ready to get out if it.

Again, thanks guys. I'll see if I can scrounge up some money so I can try to take life drawing classes again.
