Congratulations to all the winners and runners up and everyone who nominated and voted! We wouldn't be able to do this without you all.
And it's just like England but more Scottish. I'm just kidding! Really everyone is ginger and all the men have kilts and tartan hats on. There are at least 3 marching bag pipe bands around and everyone is munching on haggis. >: ) Yeah... and they say it's a stereotype xD
And I regret nothing! Whilst I should be sleeping to make sure my mind is at it's peak thinking capacity tomorrow, photoshop accidentily opened... : D Strange. Anyway, I have recently got into Sherlock and after watching Parade's end I started to pay more attention to Mr Cumberbatch. So yeah, have 22 avatars I made in an attempt to play around with effects that actually look nice and exaggerate the softer colours. Spoiler All 200x200 Some I'm proud of some I'm not, but CnC please KHV : D
I would be flattered any other time but for over a year he has been super stalking my friend and talking to me on Steam just to get to her. He made charts about who were her closest friends so he could try and talk to her... he's asked her out so many times I've lost count, he won't take no for an answer and he has also asked my friend's other friend out for pizza. I was quite tempted to tell him I was a lesbian so he'd leave me alone but I can't see that going down well.
no. 4 [voting thread; votes due August 20th, 2012] DREAMS This was suggested by the wonderous Midnight Star! So basically you can interpret this however you want, you could do anything from an aspiration you have to an actual dream you have had one night- be it a nightmare or something completely ridiculous. Get creative! ~Animations ARE allowed Happy drawing! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you are unsure of how to vote then check out this thread here, anyone is welcome to vote but entrants MUST vote. phoenixkh93 I have to say I'm kinda proud of this one. Now I'm off school I have the free time to put a lot more work into my entries. This is the first project of mine done completely digitally from the start. I used Pixlr and a mouse to paint it with. Drawing hair with a mouse is not fun o.O This is Mal from Inception. I thought she fit the theme really well, a dream within a dream. She is the projection of the main characters subconscious in the film, and being no longer alive as his wife in the real world, lives and breathes elusively and exclusively in his dreams. Ienzo As you may know, I am a huge Doctor Who fan and so have the Doctor falling through space. When I am in a bad mood or upset it comforts me to think of the Doctor Who universe actually existing as it's a place to escape to in my head and makes me happy. I also had a dream a couple of weeks ago about falling through space and that is what inspired me to draw the Doctor falling through it. Drawn by hand, scanned in, drawn over using photoshop and then coloured and shaded using PS. The background is mostly gradients, brushes, smudgings and a few fractals- feel free to ignore it in your judging if you only want to look at the completely traditional side of the piece.

Yeah, Michael McIntyre quote and I don't care :D I for one hate heat and so I thought it would be wise to go to India for 2 weeks xD I am off to work in hospitals and shadow doctors for general medical work experience and shall be back in 2 weeks. I shall also spend a lot of this time hugging air conditioning and cold things just to help me survive :3. I shall miss you all and I may come online as they do have internet in India but it just depends whether I have time or not. You guys are lovely and I look forward to seeing how the user awards turn out! I've left the Signature of the Week in the capable hands of my friend Peyton and Traditional art of the month will run until I get back. I'll see you all in two weeks, don't talk to strangers and don't run with scissors. Peace ::L: ~Iz

no. 3 [entry thread; votes due June 28th, 2012] ORIGINAL CHARACTER For the people who like to draw their own characters, this is for you. OC basically means a character you have created and you can present them however you like. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you are unsure of how to vote then check out this thread here, anyone is welcome to vote but entrants MUST vote. Sebas-chan His name is Hzveros, also known as Hizzy, also known as "That goddam idiot who can't fly straight to save his soul". He's a character from a manga I had planned on writing and submitting to Tokyopop (now defunct), and they had actually shown some interest in the storyline of said manga when I showed off a few samples pages at a con back in 2007. But real life/college caught up to me, and the comic never took off more than the few pages I did get drawn up. I still plan to continue it. For now, he kind of serves as a channel of mine. If I want to vent, there he is. If I doodle in the margins of my meeting minutes at work, there he is. He's essentially me. And yes, that's a bell around his neck. The story goes that he got lost on his first hunt, so the rest of the clan stuck a bell on him so they'd never lose him again. Which is funny in and of itself, since he's the only clan member with that shade of hair. The rest are all black or grey. I'll have to make up a detailed bio for him sometime. This is the simplified version. Love I love the geisha culture so I did several paintings of geisha for artclass. And this one was special because it wasn't following traditional oriental art standards. This is my geisha OC, her name is Hanashi, which means flower of death and I intended her to be kinda of spooky since she haunts the forest outside of her hometown. I made her look like a more innocent version of the grudge but still grizzly with all the stitches on her face. xD Her story starts out when she was still alive in her hometown and one of her male clients had feelings for Hanashi but Hanashi was in love with someone else. So when the client found out he killed her and now her spirit roams the forests, looking for the man who killed her and at the same time looking for her lover, whom she could never find. The reason why she is having trouble finding her lover is because soon after she died her lover became a member of the town's shrine so he shaved his head and because of this she would have a hard time trying to locate him ( thus explaining the shrine archway pictured in the painting on the right). Luminey This character doesn't really have a name. But she did spawn from just an outfit idea, so in the end she became a magical girl. Jiku Neon Took me a while. I agonized over how to combine five images. So I kinda halfassed it in the end. I'll touch this up but this is more or less the finished product. I was trying to depict the character without having to type out a synopsis but it kinda failed. Anyways, I'll describe basically what's what for you. Oh yeah, flow goes from top to bottom and right to left. I considered flopping the images but it'd get the dominant hand ****ed up and I didn't want to redraw everything again... So for the sake of temporal accuracy just look at it opposite of normal reading. Name: Juliet Casey Occupation: Assassin Age: 26 Interests: Guns, explosives, money, puzzle making Aversions: Wasting time, touching, discussing morality Habits: Always has a gun close at hand. Sets traps at the entrance to living quarters, even in temporary housing. Wears little to nothing when working with gunpowder. Interrupts people. She's won more than a few gunfights by shooting while the other guy was talking. History: Raised on the set of a traveling wild west show and learned pistol and shotgun from her father. Dropped out of high school after two years and took her first job assassinating a foreign diplomat. After that she worked primarily freelance for several years before joining up with a team for a particularly large job. Despite some misgivings about them as people she is comfortable working with them almost exclusively now. The main reason she took up the role of sniper was a small aim assisting machine that she was given by a particularly unscrupulous research organization to run field tests on. It uses a combination of camera, gps, weather reports, moisture sensors, thermometers and other instruments to extend the effective targeting range of any competent user. She doesn't have much of a social life as she's entirely dedicated to her hobbies and work. Quote: "You're mistaking the valuation of human life with respect for it. I value human life quite a bit. I won't kill anyone for less than fifty grand. However, I have very little respect for human life because it's never done a thing to gain any." Hesteen Info:This little dragon hides amongst the shrubberies within the forest. It has a great curiosity for human kind but prefers to remain hidden from sight. It is said that if you encounter this dragon, it will bring you luck and happiness. Unlike its many dragon cousins, it prefers to hoard toys rather than treasure, reflecting its playful nature. Natural habitat: The Forest but may also be found in thriving gardens Size: fits inside the palm of your hand Lifespan: Unknown, due to its elusive nature phoenixkh93 Here is my OC. Her name is Realtha. She was the first OC I ever created and I'm still fairly fond of her. Although her design has been altered many times over the years she is still essentially the same character. To explain the picture I must first explain some of the background from the universe her story is set in. In that world, you have the organ, your heart that pumps blood around your body, but you are also born with your Heart in the form of a glowing jewel. This is your being and self, it contains your emotions and personality. This heart can't be forced from you, it can only be freely given. Originally, the Heart of every person corresponded with a star in the sky, hence the idea behind the background. She is clutching her Heart because in the big story I had written for her, there is someone who is trying their hardest to make her give up her Heart to him, but for his own selfish purposes... I used colour and watercolour pencils to draw this, and then created the background and finished the details digitally. Harley Quinn The girl is Maria Isabelle Nicole Thompson who is a European-Asian beauty with a spunky personality and an optimistic outlook in life. She was diagnosed with cancer at a young age but since the cancer was noticed and treated at an early stage - she had been cleared by experts since she was seven (she is 18 to date). The boy is Andrew James Pierce who went through a tough child hood with a mother who passed when he was only eight years old (he is currently 19). It didn't help when his father completely lost it and turned to many vices - especially alcohol. He has a younger brother who he cares for deeply and feels as if he were the only family he truly had left because he feels like he lost his father when his mother died as well. They are Mint and Drew, for short and they are lovers - but more so, the best of friends. Drew met Mint in 6th grade and they became close friends very quickly. They spent plenty of time together - in school with projects and home works and more so outside of school. Together, they went through a number of hard times (such as Drew's serious and hurtful dilemmas with his family) and also the most memorable moments (including the everyday video game or film marathon at Mint's house or a picnic in the park). During the summer after Sophomore Year of High School, the two began dating. And as if it weren't possible, they became even more inseparable. Usually, it would be Drew who went over to Mint's house because Drew's family wasn't exactly the best and Mint's family fully welcomed Drew into their home with open arms and approval. Escaping the reality of what his life really was (with a terrible father who gave him little freedom and a life he literally needed to work for himself), Mint meant absolutely everything to him. She was his life - She was everything that made him feel any sort of happiness. It was the same for Mint to Drew, as well. Sadly, the happy ending that this was leading up to never came true. Mint was re-diagnosed with cancer at the start of senior year- and it wasn't looking any good. A couple more weeks after the terrible news, Mint had to be confined into the local Hospital. She spent every waking and sleeping hour in a hospital bed - with Drew by her side. Nothing stopped them from being together. Drew went to school, retrieved homework both of them would do together (sometimes only he would do) and even skipped school on some (or most) days just to be with Mint. Though, he didn't mind at all - he just wanted to stay with her. The school complained little since his grades never really have suffered and neither has Mint's and the hospital never complained either with having a gothic teenager visit so often and spend most of the nights there. The hospital even allowed Drew to lightly decorate Mint's room during the night of their prom. He got dressed into a suit and Mint's mother brought in a dress for Mint to wear - and together, in the hospital, the two spent a magical prom night especially for them and them alone. As for graduation, Drew dragged himself up to the ceremony and retrieved both his and Mint's diplomas then quickly abandoning the event and sprinting back to the hospital. Two days after their Graduation day, when she was only 17, Mint took her last breath. Drew was at her side, holding a copy of Lewis Carol's Alice In Wonderland and choking up on the lines from the Lobster Quadrille as tears flowed down from his eyes. It was the feeling that Drew never wanted to feel again - the feeling of loosing that person who so easily just turned the whole world around even when everything insisted to stay upside down. Now, Mint and Drew are completely normal people. However, here I drew them in Fantasy clothing with the hopes of creating more of an impact between these two. I wanted to try and express how and what Drew was for Mint. He was her guardian angel. He was her knight in shining armour. He never ever left her side and would give up the whole world just to save her. He was always there for her no matter what. For her, He was and always will be fighting. ~Acy_XIII~ I have to say that this character doesn't really have a name yet, I temporary called her Prayer since it's the title I gave to the first drawing of her I've done. She was meant to be a priestess,but I wanted to draw her with more casual clothes than her original design. I first came out with it with the motifs, then the clothes and finally the person even though she didn't had a face yet. As anyone can notice on the OD, I did it during classes... As for the background story, there's none yet, but I had a few ideas in mind after doing this entry. Llave de Espada Her name is Kseniya Braeburn, a mixture of a Russian Female name and the Braeburn breed of apple. I have a general approach of making most characters and settings in a Russian perspective of sorts, near the 1800s but I'm still working on that. Anywho, Seni (For short I reckon), is a 16 year old girl who has a rambunctious and playful personality, whilst maintaining some seriousness and shyness towards people she doesn't know. Her pinnacle of personality is her love of apples. She reveres them and gets rather cutesy when she has one. She is a companion character to the main character (who is also female), and from what I thought up thus far, has a smarty farty relationship with her. The other companion character, who I drew rough sketches here, is about 17, and Seni and him kinda click. (I'm thinking of naming him Indigo.) It's kind of a flirty, brother/sister relationship. She takes it upon herself to adorably call him Starshego Brata (Big Brother in Romanized Russian. Brata for short.), and he likes the adorable attention, yet tries to hide it. As far as the weapons and such, I tried to make a steampunk/Japanese versions of Russian Sabers. Her style would lean towards more of the flexible acrobatic, rather than brute force. (I want to huggle her)

Only the Doctor himself! Not David Tennant, although that would have been so fitting with the Who universe, but Matt Smith! To properly celebrate the fact that the Olympics is in Britain they thought it was important to get some good, strong, British icons to carry the Torch in some sort of torch relay xD
So, I've been learnnig how to smudge- it's not somethnig I'm great at but I think I'm getting better (it helped that I found some good smudging brushes). Anyway, I created this instead of revising for that exam I have tomorrow D: and am quite proud of the outcome but, KHV, I want your CnC if you would be so kind.
