oh wow, love your stuff!

Thanks for the nice comment IzzyS!:) After seeing everyone's stuff on the forum I have a lot of catching up to do though.

Thanks again, John

[jeremyhopkins]

Your eagle is really nice and dimensional! You've got a really unique style so I don't think you have to catch up to anyone.

[fanimation]

Thanks for the compliment jeremy, it means a lot to me!:D

and this is a Dali (my other favorite painter) and Mickey mix :D

[dmgctrl]

Mickey van Gogh and Salvador Mouse, love it! You can tell which artist it is, and tell that is Mr Mouse. Awesome. Got any more like that? Maybe a Micki da Vinci, or a Mickey Monet?

[JenI]

WOW! I love your coloring!! And I totally dig the robotic woman with the red dress!! the bubbles are great!!! The whole thing is awesome!
and of course your characatures are to die for. ^_^ LOL! I love them!!

I really need to get into a good life drawing class. They only offer one at my school and its during my work hours. XD *sigh*

Awesome stuff!!

[fanimation]

JenI, Thanks a lot for the nice comments!:) Your stuff is really great also! Can't wait to see some more of your art!

Thanks again,
John

[johncbeggs]

Just wanted to say that your drawings are awesome, I like how alive the lions look must have been tough to get that feel.

[fanimation]

Thanks JohnC, glad you liked the lions. I never developed them any further but I have always wanted to get back to them. Nice avatar picture, good to finally put a face to all the posts back and fourth. I will have to dig up a current picture for mine one of these days. You should post up some more of your sketches! I like the new Pirate sketch in your album, It looks great! :)

One of my favorite ways to draw is pen and ink cross hatching. This is a German Shepherd I drew this way.

[WillW]

woa, thats brilliant!. I am also a fan of pen and cross hatching.

[Amourwolf]

I love how varied your work is! Its hard to pick a favorite :)

[BrioCyrain]

That German Sheppard is practically as detailed as the real thing.

[Mithmeoi]

That German Shepard looks very nice! I really enjoy pen and ink so it's nice to see someone else who does it. :)

[Hana]

Wow your pen and ink is beautiful! The fur detail is gorgeous.

[lavallelee]

One of my favorite ways to draw is pen and ink cross hatching. This is a German Shepherd I drew this way.
http://i714.photobucket.com/albums/ww141/fanimation/german_shepered.jpg


wow, awesomeness i had 2 germain shepherds growing up

mario and jojo, the best dogs in the world :)

once again very nice drawing

[fanimation]

Thanks, WillW, Amourwolf, BrioCyrain, Mithmeoi, Hana, and lavallelee for the kind words!:) I 'm glad to hear others on the forum like working with Pen and Ink and Cross Hatching as well as I do. Those of you that like it, have you tried Scratch Board? It has a similar feel to the final product but you work in reverse, scratching white lines into a black background. I like working with Scratch Board also.

Thanks again, John J.

[lavallelee]

actually i never heard of Cross Hatching before, but it looks very cool

[Mithmeoi]

I have done scratch board before! It was really fun but that was back in... fifth grade or something! Hahaha I took up etching though, I enjoy it just as much. I prefer plexi but glass is nice too sometimes mirror. :D Anyone ever try that?? :)

[fanimation]

I haven't gotten to try etching yet although I have always wanted to. One of these days I hope too!:)

John J.

[jeremyhopkins]

Dang man, nice work! Not only is the German Shepherd drawn well and nicely detailed but you also captured his personality. I really enjoyed it!

[fanimation]

Thanks a lot jeremy, I'm a huge fan of your art and I'm really glad you liked my drawing!:)

Thanks, John J.

[fanimation]

I have been so busy getting my house ready to move and have not done a lot of art lately but this is a digital Painting I did of my daughter. Please let me know what you all think...

Thanks,

John J.

[johncbeggs]

hehe cute kid man :)

[fanimation]

I have not been drawing as much as I would like lately or been able to be involved on this forum as much as I would like for awhile now. We were supposed to move in November, but we have been having trouble selling our house and are living in a half packed house till we can get the house sold. I have been working on getting the house fixed up and still packing up what we can live without. Not sure when we will finally move! Anyway, I have not posted anything in a while, so I thought I would post up some fan art drawings I have done over the years.

This is just a tiny amount of the sketches I have done over the years. I have tons of sketch books and loose sheets of paper full of these sketches in a huge trunk in my office. When I did most of these, I was drawing fan art and my own stuff all the time day and night everyday, and I became pretty happy with my drawing ability back then. I need to get back to doing that again.

Here is some original stuff I have been working on when I can

This next illustration I did for a science fiction short story I thought was well written. It's a sad story about a rich couple that give birth to a baby that is, well... alien like. They hide him from family and friends in the basement for years. Once during a party he makes too much noise. This is their normal reaction to his misbehaving. Let's say, the story ends badly for these bad parents.

http://i714.photobucket.com/albums/ww141/fanimation/bad_parents_final.jpg

Please let me know what you all think of any of these. Hope to be drawing more and more in the future and participating on the forum much more also!

Thanks, John :)

[fanimation]

Thank you Diego, Some of these are digital and many of them are marker and colored pencil. A couple are acrylic paint.

[arif]

you have some nice detail art works....cool..

Regards,
Arif.

[fanimation]

Thanks Arif!

[fanimation]

Hi everyone! It's been awhile again! I have been doing some animation and here is a VERY short and rough pencil test of one shot. I posted it up on Don's forum here: http://donbluthanimation.com/videos.php?showvideo=361

and on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nM0WZ_8UnQ
Watch it in high quality because it seems to play better. Please let me know what you think, It's the first animation I have posted here.

Here are a few of the Key frames:

[arif]

you come back...great!!!..........post more often.........

Regards,
Arif.

[joedorsey]

Good to see you again! Keep posting your animation. Looking great!

[fanimation]

Thanks Arif and Joe! A facebook friend suggested I needed to work on the timing and anticipation so I added some frames just after he turnes his head and just before he starts to react to being scared and I think this slight pause really helps the shot. Here is the link to the upload on Don's Club:

http://donbluthanimation.com/videos.php?showvideo=363

I tried to upload the new one to YouTube but it plays it back wrong! It stops before the last frames. Not sure why its doing that!?
