Hey peoples!
I've been meaning to make this thread for some time, but haven't for three significant reasons:
1. Some art may be disturbing:
Don't ask me why, but fat and old people are more fun to detail.
2. Pencils hate me:
For whatever reason, I simply cannot apply pressure with a pencil. It always shows up really light, especially on camera. It doesn't help that one of my pencils is bad to begin with.
3. I'm pretty busy and don't actually draw all that much
Basically don't expect updates frequently. I've got a stockpile of drawings that I can upload over time though.

So now let's have some art!
As a preview, have two of my better works, a Viking and a pirate.

A drawing of a sort of Greek city from a few months back
A moose 'cos I needed an avatar for Skype
A gemsbok... Long story, but I had to kill time in Cooking class.
I think the images are too big or something? They won't show up. So link time again! http://imgur.com/a/DFdFt

So uh, this thread kinda died due to lack of feedback. Also due to having like 300k English projects per day.
On the other hand, I've recently been super into Undertale, so I drew some stuffs! (hoping I can post images normally now)

Flowey!

A little comic I made, based on the idea that Frisk never actually talks, just telepathically sends thoughts.

It's likely that this thread's gonna die again, but Undertale is apparently popular, so who knows?!

Reviving this thread cos I'm in art class and jewellery class, so I'll have actual good quality art to post over the next while (though probably not over Christmas break).
First off, a sterling silver cedar branch casting!

Surprisingly easy to make, all things considered. Giving it to my First Nations Studies teacher as a thank you, and an apology cos the class is pretty misbehaved.

Wow the art thread sure has been inactive this month....

I've recently "finished" the chainmail glove I've been working on (though honestly I'll likely be tweaking it for the next week or two).


Sorry about the low quality picture, my phone's camera hasn't been particularly happy since I smashed it against the corner of a desk.
And if anyone's wondering, the palm of the hand is meant to be left open, it helps when holding swords.

whoa⁝⁛⁚⁙ The cedar branch is super duper cool (＾▽＾) how is that kind of thing done??

Thanks! It's a weird process...
Basically, you put the branch on a little wax stand, inside of a metal tube, and fill it with investment (basically plaster). You then heat it up enough that the organic material basically burns away, put the still-hot tube into a centrifuge with some molten metal (silver works best usually) and let it spin the metal into the mold!

Regarding art... I finally got all my school projects back so I can start uploading those eventually!

O—oh ▸▸sweets! (⌒▽⌒) So does the wax stand thingy get like melted away?

Yep. Normally you'd use wax instead of a cedar branch, either custom-shaped or ordered from somewhere, but you can use organic stuff too sometimes.
If you look up "lost wax casting" there might be some videos of it

I found my old drawing tablet from when I was like 10, turns out it's super fun to use!
Don't ask why but I drew the pyro from TF2.

I should add, I did it as a sketch, and then sloppily coloured it afterwards. I personally prefer the sketch version.
