Sef · September 14, 2011 12:13 AM

I like how stuff you consider to be horrible is stuff that I have no ability to drawever

but then again you have been doing this for a very long time

ZekeySpaceyLizard · September 14, 2011 12:22 AM

i remember drawing this before borderlands was even out. i just thought the character looked cool.

my first attempt at anatomy based on some stupid youtube video. i think this was actually less than a year ago.

"bad" or not zekey i think your old stuff is really interesting to look at, with its weird combination of linework and outdated digital effects and whatnot
what was the first real drawing program everyone tried? I think mine was cs2 maybe? whatever the most recent version of photoshop was in 2006

circa 2007

I don't have any, the oldest I have are some sketches from 8 months ago.
I have this tendency to destroy and delete the artwork i create even if I like it at first.
Maybe I have some notebooks from elementary school i havent gotten rid of

Blordow · September 17, 2011 02:59 AM

It's sad how little I've progressed in 5 years

lmao blordow.. those drawings are hilarious not only because they're bad, but because they're the polar opposite of the current you

fun fact, that was my first non-free-hosting website. rtilanime.com. free love hina episode downloads, get 'em while my host doesn't shut me down for going over my 20gb bandwidth cap.

Haha Rtil I like the ones you posted and the old website notes :b I recall I used to put a huge copyright in the very center of my art (and it wasn't even transparent or anything)
Actually I like looking at people's old art to see the taste and the growth from then...

and this was from the other thread about old art and redrawing them now

trent bortknob · September 21, 2011 07:02 AM

wow, a lot of the art in here reminds me of stuff that would be in the peanut gallery thread.

i guess it goes to show that we should be encouraging to artists that make pretty shitty art, who knows who they'll grow up to be!

Crabarms · September 21, 2011 07:30 AM

Its a bit different when these guys actually want to get better and not an inflated ego towards their own art or blatantly tracing something and insisting it was their own.
Mostly everyone who is seriously on improving here haven't stopped drawing and continue to draw to improve and take honest feed back.
I guess most of its also just laughing at the fan base of something so retarded and hideous and harmless laughing at how something is badly drawn.
I say these guys because my art is crap and I never got better and following my route of not drawing it will continue to be.

actually disregard what I said I took what you said way overboard and I'm just spouting crap.
