My artwork (pic heavy)

Posted : 11/16/2006 1:43:10 PM

A hobby of mine is art, any kind. So just to share I thought I would show off some of my work. So critique away!
(I hope the pics turn out ok, some are scanned and other are a pic taken with a digital camara)

Here is a little pewter dragon I casted. It has ruby eyes

Here is an oil paining I did, I call it "Cold Feet"

Anouther oil I did

Now on to my stained glass:

My first stained glass I ever made (ha, it was small enough to fit on my scaner[

]):

A butterfly:

This one took me what seemed like forever and my favorte pice I have ever made, it's Starry Night.

Now from my photography collection, I developed these when I took a photography class. I took two semesters of black and white and one of color. I'm not much of a photographer but I enjoy working in the dark room:

Same tree but this is it's negative

Wow, Xebby, that's some nice (and diverse) artwork. I especially like the butterfly and the cold feet picture. We sure do have some talented people on this forum [

Thanks cakana!

Here is the butterfly again, I tried to scan it to see it better but it's much larger than the scaner and it turned out like this:

Wow, you are a really diverse artist!

I love pewter, so the little dragon is my favorite. Your stained glass is really beautiful too. Thanks so much for sharing! [

Oh yeah, I love the colors in it and it couldn't have been easy to do. You should be proud of yourself, I know I would be if I could do that.

Every semester I try to take at least one art class to keep my mind from going insain with all the other classes I have to take. I think by now I've been in every art class my college offers, if I went to any other college that wasn't a tech school I would probably have a degree in art by now[

].

Here is one more. This is one of my first oils. The assignment was to pick an object and paint it in several angels.

The oil of the safety pins is very cool. It reminds me of something you see at a gallery showing. Unfortunately, I think you have to pass away for your stuff to be super valuable [

]. I'm going to take some art classes too. I think that I'd enjoy doing watercolors, but I probably won't know until I start exploring it.
