Just realized there was a Visual Arts subforum.

Here's a digitally-colored spoof cartoon.

 

[aiki]

And...another one.

 

[aiki]

And one more.

 

[aiki]

This one's for anime fans.

 

[aiki]

Anyone like DragonBall Z?

 

[aiki]

Samurai, anyone?

 

[aiki]

A tennis spoof idea I had.

 

[aiki]

I have a thing for spoofs. Sorry. This is a spoof of Batman, by the way. His ears are overdone. His cape is too big... Explaining the spoof kinda' ruins it, eh?

 

[aiki]

Hope you enjoyed the 'toons! More to come!

Anyone recognize this 90's t.v. cartoon character?

 

[aiki]

This one was based off my younger brother. He doesn't have an ugly little dog, though.

 

[aiki]

A nosy fellow. Can't help it, though, can he?

Darkwing Duck!

You’re very talented!

 

[aiki]

Talented? Hmmm. More just persistent. I've been doing artwork for a long time. I'm glad some of my stuff was of interest to you.

Are you an artist, too?

No, my dad was. I like to draw, but I’m not good at it. I appreciate visual art, though, and like seeing what others come up with.

I think "talent," most of the time, is just the product of hard work and time, which are the products of desire. The only reason, really, I can draw like I do is that I liked drawing and kept doing it. And now, after years of doing so, I can draw pretty much anything I like just as I want to draw it. Sadly, the small flame of creative desire can be snuffed out by the initial difficulties of developing skill. But its never too late to take up the pencil again and draw just for the fun of it. Really, that's all my talent is: having fun.
You wouldn't believe how many horrible drawings I've done. But even they are fun (so long as no one ever sees them), teaching me how to improve.

 

[aiki]

Here's a fun caricature. Anyone guess who he is? He'll roundhouse kick you in the face, if you don't.

 

[aiki]

I liked the feeling of action in this one.
