GaiaDarkstar's art and requests for art

[quotidia]

Nice work, you've got a LOT of potential. And requests are a damn good way to exercise your skills and learn.

[gaiadarkstar]

Thanks. My recent problem though is that I lost my pen tool. The mouse just doesn't work right to be able to do what I want to do. Hopefully that will be fixed if I can just find the darn thing.

It's been awhile and since I still don't have a pen tool I tried doing full shading on this drawing. I think it came out all right. I am still open for commissions though they won't be digital until I get a new pen tool.

I finally got a new pen tool so have been trying to catch up on a few old projects. Here is the one I just finished. He is a character from one of my books. I started painting him quit a while ago so it was nice to finally finish him.

I am watching you on DA now. Mwahahahahahahahahahahaha

[gaiadarkstar]

Thanks so much and if you ever have a request don't hesitate to ask. It has been awhile since I posted something here.

Well, I tend to draw my own art unless I absolutely know that my talent is lacking.

[gaiadarkstar]

I am still open for drawing requests and here is my latest painting called Bathing suit beauty.
It was done for "Drawing Party" , a smackjeeves comic that is a theme sketch, and this months' theme was sswimsuit season. I was really happy with how the skin turned out and overall I really think I did a good job but as always I am open to crit.

[gaiadarkstar]

This next piece is one I did for "Artistic Challenge" which is my own theme sketch sort of artist topic. Since there are so few people I am pretty loose about deadlines and also have more than one theme so that I am more likely to get more submissions at least until we have more people. The most recent choices were "Killed by a schoolgirl" and "time". I decided to combine the two and got- Schoolgirl Killing time (te he clever huh?)

It's been a while since I posted anything so I will put up a couple things.
The next two are tongue in cheek humorous drawings I did from an idea a friend gave me when we were rping.


The next one is a cute little pic I threw together. I have been working on drawing chibi style recently and this was one of the first couple characters I drew that were original.

And last but not least is a wallpaper I designed. It is slightly abstract but I liked how the colors and everything turned out.


I know it is a lot to share all at once but I haven't been on in a while so wanted to show what I have done recently.

Geez, I definitely should've stumbled into this section of the forums a long time ago. Glad to see there's some wicked artists there (and some that even offer their services!). Woo-hoo! Well, since I want to freshen up with my tablet and photoshop, I want to request a picture... but you can request one back, so we can both look forward to something. How's that sound? Hopefully yer' still kicking around for some requests, anyways.

I'd seriously love you with all my heart if you did some Fallon art for me: courtesy of the brilliant, fantastic, lovely Wudgeous. You can really go wild with the facial tattoos. I'm always playing around with them but I wanted them to look like wings, or feathers, or something. And uh, for clothes he'd generally just wear tight black spandex with plates over his chest. Anything else; you've got creative liberty.

I am definitely up for the challenge. I don't do guys as often and they tend to have a feminine "Bishi" look to them if that is ok? Also if you have more pics or something that you would want me to use for reference, that would be great. I will try to get the sketch done as soon as I can but I do have quit a few unfinished projects I'm working on right now so I don't know when I will be able to finish, though I would make yours a priority. It would certainly be interesting to see someone else's view of one of my characters. I will have to think of which one.

That's no problem, at all. I end up making my guys' look feminine, too (so I feel yer' pain!). I'll send some more sketches through PM's. And no worries; you don't need to rush! I'm just excited to see it, is all. And once you pick a character, let me know!

[gaiadarkstar]

Cool, sounds good to me.

[gaiadarkstar]

I did this for fun for my secondary thread on this site called "Artist Challenge", it's like a theme sketch. The themes to choose from were winter and flowers. I decided to combine the two for a kind of surreal feel.

[ViceVersus]

For some reason it makes me think of Beauty & the Beast ..

[gaiadarkstar]

Hilarious! I totally get what you are saying though.

[gaiadarkstar]

I finally got SAI, it might only be a 30 day trial but I already really like it. This next piece is one I did on SAI and though it was my first time I really enjoyed working with it and learned a lot in the process.

[gaiadarkstar]

I know it doesn't look great right now but I wanted to go ahead and post the sketch so you could give me any changes you would want and such. I hope the general idea here has captured your character and I am sorry it took me so long to start on it.

Hey I really like your winter rose! It's a very pretty picture! Good job!
