No Art

futile.

This place is lesser without your contributions, or the contributions of your peers.

Vote progressive.

A thought: why not give the site two fingers, look back through the VA Corner to note people who have been interested in your stuff... and then offer them the chance of seeing your (new) efforts by some method totally away from the site..?

Maybe via simple email, the thought occurs? You might find that some of your stuff gets passed on and shown to others still - a kind of tickle spreading.

You can sign me up without futher ado. One more reason to leave this place, which is becoming ever less interesting and attractive and which I've been considering doing for some time.

Very kind.

Not sure politics is the only or even main factor. Certainly A factor.
There are also practicalities of server space and policing other rubbish, like A.I. etc.

Regardless, it is a drag.

A good thought.
I'm still looking for an alternative that meets my criteria.

There is a place which kinda/sorta worked, for a moment, but the interface was awkward and the audience was not very enthusiastic.
Only one other art participant, who...
Anyway, it did not quite work for me.

 

[AwkwardMD]

Eyyyyy!!!!!!

 

[THROBBS]

Eyyyyy!!!!!!

eh?

Testing with another tiny url site

There we go.
Let's see if I can do more without signing up (and especially - PAYING)

next test:

ok, so far, so good.
No real (good) reason to do any more.

If that works for you, it works for me as a viewer. Just one more click. If you want to keep posting the links here, great.

 

[Reenigam]

Can't wait for 'x'...

 

[Reenigam]

'Xylophone', maybe?

Personally I'd be hoping for 'X marks the spot'...

 

[Reenigam]

Wow, spooky or what?

Very nice drawing.

Hard approve of the thread title change

I DO like this one, for a lot of reasons, but I still miss being able to post my really explicit work.
Heck, this one even won a LIT award, back when, for a brief moment, there were awards for visuals.

Created for a drawing/illustration word challenge. The word was "blanket"

most of your subjects aren't to my personal taste, but I love this one so very very much

 

[THROBBS]

Hmmm... not "slick" enough?
More likely, not sexy enough.

"Plowing the Field"
Another pencil drawing from imagination. Musing about a euphemism for fucking.

This one feels thematically connected to Babe and Paul, just pop some horns on her and scale them up to Grand Canyon size

I like it. Very nice.

I saw a fun photo (manipulated) of butterflies in a jar and that reminded me of this:

"Bottled Up"

http://tiny.cc/m6mv001

Which, of course, reminds me of other drawings (and photos or videos) featuring bottles and stemware.

I still like yours better!

"TREE" is yet another theme (though there is a bunch more on the glass and bottles theme).

"Tree Huggers/Fuckers"

"Leafman & Dryad"
http://tiny.cc/72nv001
"Getting Wood" or "Wood Nymph"
http://tiny.cc/a2nv001

haha, I do love your mind, THROBBS!!

ok I like these ones a lot. very witchy, slightly creepy, weirdly hot

 

[RoperTrace]

Ok....
Speaking of "holding one's horses" (so to speak)

here's
"Woah!"
A pencil drawing, from imagination, with no actual horses.

Wow, you're bringing back a lot of my forgotten memories, Chaintrick, X-marks the spot, Violet wand and now Woah!! Thank you, Throbbs!!

Thank YOU.

Where was I?
Did a bunch of mythical beasts. I have some sea creatures too.
Or bottles and such...?
I'm always curious what folk actual like/want to see. Can't say that I will always oblige, but if something piques my interest...

you um... you got any mothmen in your back pocket?

 

[PennyThompson]

Mothman in my FRONT pocket.

Mothman

Just went at it. I should have done a character study to get his anatomy/scale etc looking "right" (the way I want it)
But it kinda works as a quicky.

Omg I can't believe you did that! It's incredible, honestly

 

[PennyThompson]

Inspired by a story of Cosplay.

Jeremy/Leia Takes Scout/Han

Holy shit

 

[PennyThompson]

wut?

That's not the most outrageous image that I've posted.

No, but your other artwork didn't come out of my brain first, I never expected to get to see Scout and Jeremy represented visually, and I absolutely love it
