Weekly Activity 18/4 - 24/4 "Dogs"
 

LOL, great submissions last week all! had a great laugh :D

This week as the topic says is mans best friend!
Have fun!
:thumbsup:

Very nice clavus...the orange one is really cute :)

Is that really your play-doh btw?

I remember playdoh!! I also remember how bad it tastes -_-

Good one Clavus! :D

Well got a littel quicky tribute but what the hell its a tribute...

next week: Solid snake in a pyjamas

Yeeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaaaw! I love the dog. His eyes are great.

Nancy, we share our Play-Doh. It belongs to me, Mrs. clavus, clavus Jr. and clavus Jr. Jr.

Since the title of this activity is "dogs" (plural), I guess there should be at least two dogs in this pic. Oh, well. This is my Golden Retriever/Irish Setter/Spaniel mutt, Lucy. I was planning to do this in water colors, but then didn't.

P.S. This is where I discovered that drawing big, scanning big, coloring, and THEN shrinking is easier than drawing tiny, scanning 1:1, and trying to color small. Hooda thunkit?

Suggestion for next week: Birds

Bad? Play-doh is YUMMY! All salty...Mmmm...Damn, i need some potato chips now.

Cute, Vermin! I don't have a dog picture because I've tried and failed, but what about cats?!

PS: What about an "artistic" dog photo?

Dog's are easy. Just draw a cat, then shrink the brain and erase the independent look on its face.

A dog is a dog
:thumbsup:

I drew these back in December for a dog magazine:

:D :D :D

Next week: Dad.

Great dogs, Nancy! I love his smug expression.

Next week: Dad

I love dogs :D

Asta!!

I have a photo of a dog...does that count?

i actually did this sketch for the Fear thread, but i didn't get to scanning it until too late, 20 minutes later for a little color and here's my "Dogs" entry.

Here's a semi-artistic perspective photo on "Dog"- he's nwlinkvxd's dumb dog.

Next Week: CATS.

vermin, that's a <i>nice</i> drawing.
are you not feeling suitably sick and twisted today?
(and i mean that in the best way possible of course)

I'm with doodlebird.. Vermin.. you feeling ok? :p

Dizzet the motion blur is excellent :D Nancy I love the look on your dogs face, so cheesy xD Doodle bird, do we ever give consideration to the hotdogs friends? Or even it's family >_< La petite moi, heh.. scruffy ^_^

and here's mine for the week, next week: Your PC

Aww he's adorable. Theres no such thing as a dumb dog :|

Asta!!

kwise, if that was <i>really</i> his best friend, that should be the dude under the truck, not the dog.

Yikes, yeah, there is, in his case. nwlinkvxd came to the comclusion that he must be retarded due to inbreeding. They have TRIED to train him, but he is untrainable. And he barks loudly at EVERYTHING.

Dogs can also be retarded if it was the weak one of the breed( mostly they die) but if they survive, then it have starved and the brain gets fucked up... Wich in my case i have such a dog:p

^^ It's still a fucking great dog though :thumbsup:

Teehee thanks! :D
My dad liked it for the same reason and insisted that I made some "to - from" cards to him which he put on all his christmas presents to his friends/family :lol:



I think this is one of the best weekly activities we've had so far - everyone's work is damn great :thumbsup:

^ I can agree with that! :)

Ahaha aww. I have one completely untrainable dog..he's such a sweetheart though but he's dumb ass dirt really. I thought you meant dumb as in worthless dumb not stupid dumb :D. Hee hee at the loud barking..I have a corgi..you don't know an annoying bark until you hear a corgi's loud yelp. Used to drive our old neighbors up the wall.

Asta!! :D

And we're back.
I'll go ahead and second Nancy for Dad as next week's theme.
That's an awsome sketch, vermin, and those are some seriously pesky pups you have there, Nancy, in a sort of a record company rep sort of banal evil sort of way. Cute, but evil.

Here's my first, with a tip of the hat to Floyd...

And another. I call this, Delusions of Grandeur.

ARGHHHH!! A POODLE! :|

Otherwise nice work tophat! The dogs in that first pic..they look more like wolves I think :hmm:

Well where playing around in illustrator so then i came to this so another tribute from me... Enjoy

Well it have to match the owner so couldent get a better dog... :p

Thanks, Nancy. Wolves they are. I was going for Northwest Coast Indian art.

Wolves are dogs too, though. Even this far from the great white north, you get the occasional Wolf/Husky hybrid. In fact, Canis Domesticus is supposedly derived from crossbreeding of wolves and jackals. I know my Thor puppy (a Norwegian Elkhound) looks like a wolf, but surely behaves like a jackal sometimes. (And, strangely enough, is frightened to death of thunder. Go figure.)

dizzet - that last dog is awesome.

can you tell us how you got those painterly effects from illustrator?

My dogs are tired.

I am hoping to draw something sometime later this week.

LOL nice one G.H :thumbsup:

Tophat and Dizzet, excelllent stuff! :D

at the right in illustrator there is a palette that is called brushes and there is a lot of different types... And thanks for the comment

I envy the dog's ability to sleep anywhere at anytime during anything.

next week: anything you want

Tophat, do you create your art from scratch? If so, your versatility and skill blow me away. If not, your sense of design and composition is still pretty goddamn fantastic.

Sometimes from scratch, sometimes not. Ususally I retool something I have laying around. I did the Indian wolf for a beer label a couple of years ago, and worked it into that one, with the cartoon sheep made up on the fly. The other one I did as a CD case insert for a mix CD called Howl your Delusions at the moon. I believe I found the Poodle silhouette somewhere and reworked the mouth, and the wolf, if memory serves, I found a picture of a coyote howling and traced it with bezier curves. The lesbians from a few weeks ago was pure scratch, though, so it depends.

Scratch or no, thanks for the kind words. Your darn impressive yourself. (Heck, everybody who regularly posts here really impresses me.)

you guys are awesome..............great fuckin' work all around
