General art thread

[jpr]

Since mapping requires a lot of creativity, I assume I'm not the only one here who likes drawing. In fact, I know it. So here you can show your stuff.
There's a thread like this on another forum I go to and I think it's fun showing off what you've drawn/painted/whatever and seeing other people's stuff.

To kick this thread off, here's something I sketched and colored half-assedly today, a relatively new character of mine, for a comic I'll probably never finish:

Bigger version
Sometimes I ink my drawings, and put more effort into the coloring, but this time I didn't feel like it.

Your turn. Non-tf2-related 3d stuff is acceptable too. Oh, and remember to resize giant images.

Damn that smile

I seem to have a thing for creepy grins (see my avatar). Most of my characters don't do that though

When you see it.

Something else, my main character Jonah. This is from a school notebook, can't remember what subject.

And in case you're wondering, my username comes from him, not the other way around. It's very similar to my real name though.
Also the text says "insert burger here", but the s and e are a bit close to each other

 

[Jakkarra]

Damn you and your art skills!

 

[Fruity Snacks]

Wilson, is that a duck mask?

My first attempt at Autodesk Mudbox, a Zbrush clone program, but its free for students!

WHEN YOU SEE IT, NOW WITH DOUBLED DIFFICULTY!

Is it behind the barrel?

Jonah, your character facial expressions really remind me a lot of Hayao Miyazaki's work, who's responsible for all the great studio Ghibli movies, like Princess Mononoke and Howl's Moving Castle.

Here's some stuff I did years ago, maybe junior year in college:

Warning, the 2nd one is NSFW.

Damn I have The "My neighbour TOTORO" AND! " Howl's Moving Castle" artbooks....

@ Wankhouse : there is a sentry ?

 

[Wilson]

Jonah wins, there is spy behind the barrel.

EDIT:

This is way too easy tough.

Normally I don't like this kinda stuff (it gets very old and generic after about 5), but some of these are pretty cool.

I wonder what I could do if I got a tablet!

Yeah those are all variations on two themes (shatter and extrusion)
