One a Day (image heavy thread)

Please join me in posting one a day. This is a challenge to encourage you to work on your craft every single day.

This is a thread for everyone. This is for you.

There are no content requirements ( you can make whatever you want )
There are no media requirements ( you can make it however you want )
It can be something you've posted elsewhere.

It isn't about posting perfect work. It's about posting your work. It's a way to keep track. There is only a sense of accomplishment for making at least one new thing every day. As you create, you learn.

It's fine to ask for advice or critique. Please do not offer critique unless it is requested. Please use a link for Not Safe For Work (NSFW) images.

The only rule: post only what you have done today. Not yesterday or last month. Only today.


ps- for those who are shy. Don't compete with others. Compete with yourself. Do not be discouraged by others' success. Learn from them instead, and continue forward on your own path.

Baal and Kaoori, thank you so

@Bin and Nayu; HOW. Oh my gosh, both of your pieces are gorgeous. ;;

@Nayu; How on earth do you do that with a MOUSE? I can't do that well even with a tablet. You must have infinite patience..

@Bin; I love those red swirls. Like tentacles or snakes or ribbons, curling around the skull. Lovely.

Thank you Smiling

I'm curious about this mousework as well, seems very technical.

I am not sure about asking

I am not sure about asking this because I don't know what others think and it's not my thread and and and, but,
I am kind of wondering, could not comments on others' work be kind of discouraging? for the artists who do not receive comments?
I think it creates an air of competition that is not needed here, or makes it look like certain art is more valued, and this is not the purpose of this thread.
would it be ok to ask if they could be toned down? at least unless artists explicitly ask for them? I don't post here right now but I feel it is slightly discouraging, because this thread is not about posting perfect work, and having art valued where it is not supposed to be valued kind of takes /my/ sense of security away..

welp!!! posting this makes me really, really uncomfortable, sorry.

i feel the same way about what unplugged said [even if i broke this unspoken rule too ;;]. Maybe commenting on the relevant artists Biopage/Blog would be a possibility?

@ Unplugged.
I'm not taking seriously what I post here so I don't really mind, but as a member who regularly take a peek in this thread, I do think too that comments ( when feedback isn't asked) given to some pieces and not to others may be frustrating and discouraging for the artists posting here.


@Ryff, looooleez, it doesn't take that much time in fact. Thank you!

I don't usually post things that I've posted already here, but I'm so amazingly happy with how this turned out.

Please be aware the image above is creepy/scary. If Teradeer creeps you out to begin with you should view with caution.

A day of firsts! First background/landscape thing and first digital painting! After much trial and error(and ragequitting) I FINALLY had some luck with digital painting. <: That is my third try today at starting something that resembles an actual painting. o 3o Done from scratch in paint tool sai with the brush and pen brushes. xD Man my wrist is cramping but I can't bring myself to stop. HNNNGH. That skin must've taken me like three hours. D;

Yes, Binta. =D Come to the OC

Yes, Binta. =D Come to the OC side.

I could've done more, hadn't I been playing on my playstation so much. B') I'm such a slacker.

If anyone's interested to see; this is the rough color concept I'm going for; http://i.imgur.com/1G53J.png

Such fine coloring on that one. Very neat. /sarcasm
It's a rough draft, I have no patience. Don't judge me.

Ffff all of you people have such marvelous art OTL

@ChildlessFather:

Somehow he reminds me of a Kvaldir from World of Warcraft. He looks really awesome. Smiling Can't wait to see it finished!

@ Verdalas: Hahaa, you got

@ Verdalas:

Hahaa, you got me! Yeah, I've been playing in Northrend with some friends the past few weeks and as soon as I saw the Kvaldir and the Vrykul again, my hands started to itch all over. Mustdrawdrawdrawdraw.
Add that I'm looking forward to Skyrim /so bad/ and this came out of it. Bearded scary guy wielding an axe that's impossible to swing around. 8D
Thanks! I hope to finish it soon.
Verdalas's picture

Teehee. I meant Vrykul but I

Teehee. I meant Vrykul but I forgot their name. Could only remember the Kvaldir who turn into seaweed.

And I hope my PC can run Skyrim (and GW2; this guy reminds me a bit of a Norn too). And his weapon also reminds me of the Icecrown weapons you got from the raids. And like I said before, I can't wait to see it finished. Laughing out loud

I know for sure my PC can’t

I know for sure my PC can’t –it’s one old beast- so that’s the Playstation version for me. Ah well; Skyrim is Skyrim, can’t wait either way!

…this guy looks like he’s the evil brother of Childless. Bahaha.

Childless: aw hell naw

And I guess it kinda does, now that you mention it; darn Blizzard creeping into my mind subconsiously. BUT I’m sort of glad it does; the designs of WoW are incredible, aaaah. I can only wish to someday meet that level of design. Thanks again!

Some painting practice. This is original size, about 5 layers.
Which is...an improvement, I think? Not sure.
It's a start, if anything.

Gonna do a background and final color adjustments and everything tomorrow. B')
Anyone have suggestions for the BG? My idea of rainbows and flowers and a unicorn just doesn't cut it. I was thinking of mountains, actually.

Gosh I love the work of everyone here. TEFC is such a creative cauldron.

^i was thinking mountains

^i was thinking mountains too, haha. awesome work, i've been secretly stalking the progress.

Agreed. That looks fantastic so far.

Uitleger - Really? Hm, I find it hard to try and create a "feel" like feralness or anything of that sort. I'm awful glad that someone was able to perceive that. Thank you so much. <3

Ah, my shading is hardly anything good, it's just hatchet lines. I've tried to do real shading, but it never works out. Shame too, I have so many images in my head, but I can't create any of them because of the state I'm in, drawing wise.
