ok, hey guys, i didn't dare want to get for spamming up up the shoutbox with my art stuff, so i thought i'd post it in here instead I've started a new artwork page exclusively for my game art, yeah, the old one was ok, but it had come to a complete stand still, maybe because when i first created it, i was doing all sorts of work, and now that i've settled into game/concept art, people are missing the comic book stuff i used to do, i don't know, but thats why i have started this new one, purely for games, so i know the people that join will be there because they love games too (hopefully) then i won't get people unliking when i'm doing projects that they are not into. I'm going to do some special pieces for the relases of AC3, Crysis 3 and Halo 4, possibly others if i have the time ![]() So here is the link: LC's Game Art If you have a facebook account, please will you give it a like for me, it would be very much appreciated Poro, i will get your piece done as soon as i've finished my current project, i have been so busy with various works, i am very sorry your request has taken so long to get round to ![]() but yes, enough about me, i know last time i posted something about my artwork, snicks asked if we wanted a hobby section, and everyone just agreed to post something in this section, so i have my artwork and music, so what is everyone else's hobbies? apart form the obvious: gaming XD |

As I have stated multiple times, it is a request, not a commission, so you wouldn't even need to do it if you didn't want to. Take your time. And you can't hurry the maestro.

Awesome, LC! We actually share the hobby of drawing. I took art lessons as a young kid, but didn't take it anywhere. I now just draw things for fun. Here's a spellbreaker I sketched in 2004. I have since greatly reduced my drawing portfolio and only draw occasionally, but it's nice to see that you are still drawing. |

Thank you guys, and it's highly likely that i liked that you like my page, thank you braythor...i like that XD And that is awsome Chuck, you should definately draw more, don't let it go, when you have a talent. Do you have anymore of you art to show? My artwork is more then just a hobby, i get work now from my online pages, so thats why i have started this new game page, hopefully more work for this type of thing, as all i've mainly been doing is books (book covers/illustrations) family portatrists, Music EP/album/promo art and have had requests for graphic novels and web comics, i just want someone to come along and say they are looking for a concept artist for their games company especially the ones that are just starting out, or the smaller companies, they are crying out for artists, as they can only afford to maybe take on 1-3, you never know what might come along, i had the last page for a couple of months, and i got approached to do storyboards for a cartoon tv show, in L.A!!! I checked out the company and the women that was the apparent Executive director, and it all seemed ledgit, i am sceptical about these kind of things though, but seeing as i had no way of getting to L.A, it didn't matter anyway.It's going to take me ages to get my page back up to the amount of likes i had on the old one, but never mind, fresh start and all XD |

I Liked it too. (I'm getting confused by all the likes, though. It's turning into like-ception. )

Thanks, LC. I really appreciate that. My portfolio is something like 4 completed sketches and random doodles. I don't want to highjack your thread or anything, haha, but here's a few I uploaded to photobucket. The 300 silhouette is something I did in a couple of hours, just to practice my strokes. I did this recently, when I found a cool picture online (I just drew it on my fraternity's stationary). And Arthus is my best work in progress. I started this in 2006, but haven't finished it since. I'm hesitant on going back to it until I get my drawing mojo back. Actually this just inspired me to finish a Sephiroth sketch I've been working on. I'll let you know when it's done! Edit: I forgot to add.. I'm actually redesigning a logo for a friend's catering company. I took a few graphic and industrial design courses, but I doubt I'll go into the business. Good job on getting gigs! Edited by CallUpChuck, May 29 2012, 02:32 AM.

This thread is for everyone dude ^.^ i'd love to see other people post their artwork here if they have ever drawn anything, and those are really awsome chuck, love the 300 one, and your work in progress is amazing I know exactly what you mean about the dreaded "Mojo" man does that thing disappear hahah especially when you've got an awsome piece like that going, and your scared do go back to it incase you ruin it, i feel your pain ![]() Music always inspires me, and seeing other peoples art, theres lots of things to take inspiration from, definately keep me updated on your works, and keep posting them, have you thought about getting yourself a deviantArt account to upload your pieces to? have a look around that site aswell, lots of brilliant work to get your mojo back

Just saw this thread! I was at your FB page yesterday LC and noticed the game page and "liked" it too! Both your and Chuck's art is quite impressive. I wish I could draw more than stick figures. . . .

Hope you don't mind but I've retitled the thread to make it more inclusive ![]() Excellent work, LC & Chuck. They are, of course, nothing on my stick figures. As far as my (creative, rather than relaxing) hobbies go, between 2002 and 2004 I did production, samples, keyboards and screamy vocals in a godawful band. Thread to discography - protip: don't listen to it. Then I did the score to a no-budget independent art film, Hermetica. Here's the full movie, streaming but it's NSFW, as it's got a bunch of swearing and a rape scene and stuff. There's also major problems with the editing and the sound (one guy did EVERYTHING) and the fact that it makes no sense at all but overall I'm pretty happy with what I did. After that I grew very sick and tired of doing music stuff due to the huge time and cost investment. It totally stopped being fun. Something I'd go back to if I won the lottery, but that's it. These days I just semi-professionally write erotica under a pseudonym.

I like music. As I remember saying in the music thread, I don't really have a genre preference. There is both good and bad songs and music in all of them. As far as music as hobby goes, I do play piano. Occasionally. However, I am at the point when to hone and rise my skill level, I'd have to practise several hours per day. Which gets boring. I hate singing because I have a raspy voice and singing for more than one minute makes my throat hurt. Football (soccer) is fun, I enjoy to play it and exersise it. However, I don't like watching football that much though. Oh and of course gaming! And modding Halo Custom on PC. Those really are enjoyable and relaxing. Also fun. As is watching e-sports. |

Unlike poro, I love singing. I guess it's because my whole family sings. I've taken choir at school for five years now, and I've always loved it. I actually tried out for my school's Madrigal Choir for next year. (Which is the best choir we have. Only the best singers make it in.) I was really surprised when I found out I actually made it! I guess all those years of choir actually did pay off. Other than singing, I really like to play basketball. When you're as tall as me (6'6") you don't really have a choice. I mostly only play it for fun, though. I've never been very competitive with it. |

Oh and also, I like drawing. Unfortunately my style is quite simple. Meaning that I suck. Mainly in creating 3-dimensional effect by using different shades and stuff. Which would be important. Really important. |

I do as well sir. I used to be incredibly tone deaf but then I started "trying". My 300lb buddy played Tuba and sang soft-spoken. He taught me a few things. I'm also very good at picking stuff up by ear be it vocally or instrumentally. Obviously, I'm a writer. People have tried to down me with saying I'm not. I simply flip it on them that I'm not an "Author". I have nothing published and I've never claimed anything. I HAVE written several stories over the last 4 years and out of the 3 actual things I've written seriously, all feedback was positive and asking for more. The only one was my Zombie story and I wrote it like a script. In the VERY slow process of trying to recover it all from memory as best as can. @ Sensory - NOT TRUE!! My buddy Jimmy Johnson's (aka Dick Dick hahah or Dick-Bean) 6'8. He actually went out for volleyball and got a scholarship to a Manhattan college. |

I used to trace as a kid and say it was drawing hahaha. Then I actually started drawing. Mostly Dragonball Z characters. I had a knack for drawing them in all non-rendered poses. I just sucked hardcore at Hands and Feet. |

enjoy hiking, gaming, reading, spending time with the family. Some of my favorite hiking has been in the Central Oregon wilderness (near Mt. Jefferson) with amazing fishing; also had some good hikes in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. Have always enjoyed sports (esp. football, basketball and baseball) but physical problems have limited me quite a bit. Also, I don't get to do it much anymore, but I LOVE TO PLAY DRUMS! Especially to Metallica (that's for Scruff). |

You do if you're 6'6" AND your dad is a huge basketball fanatic. How's that? |
