FORUM PORTRAITURE

[kyabetsu]

KALI SAID:
And to clear any doubt, yes, it's all right to post non-TMNT art here, just don't go making a big habit out of it. And forum-based art is welcome too.

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

so in that vein, I'd love to open up a new thread! one where we post portraits we've done of ourselves or OTHER PEOPLE"S Forum Avatar.

The only thing i did wanna ask is that you please remember to ASK PERMISSION before you go drawing someone else's avatar. A person's avatar is usually their own original character, and it just makes people happier to know that you NOTICE that and ASKED permission before using it!

Other than that, let's see what your interpretation of our Fellow Forum Members looks like!


I"m gonna kick it off w/ a pair of familiar faces!!!!
AZURE

and maybe you know KAMEKO?

http://www.thetechnodrome.com/fanart/rpg/NeenerHead.jpg


well there's two of mine! what've you drawn? HT? kali? Persephoni? CookSux? BigThew? Zenrick? EVERYBODY ELSE?

[CookSux]

Hmm the only fanart I posted was of my own character Jin. I did have a plan on doing some other people on the board tho...

[cqb101]

Oooh Oooh somebody draw me! Please? I would be forever in your debt!

[kyabetsu]

hehe.

actually drawing forum members was almost as cool as drawing the TMNT. heh. Here's KALI:

and the cutest one of Machias Banshee :


http://www.thetechnodrome.com/fanart/rpg/SchoolGirlMachias.jpg

the hirangana says: "KAWAII DESU NE!!" "NANI...?"
or Machias: SOOOO CUUUUTE, isn't it?!
Splinter: What...?

[Raven]

dude I love those pictures you have talent and its a good talent!!!!!!!1

:o

[cqb101]

Sooooooooooooo is someone gonna do one of me?

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Those pictures were fantastic.
My Avater is my comic charactor Whiteshell. I'd be honored If you'd draw a Whiteshell/Tetsu pic for this thread. The link at the bottom of the page is the comic and you'd get a good view of him there.

[persephohi]

Well I did this one a few days ago of some of the people I've made friends with here.
Whee! (http://www.geocities.com/deadpool69612/nymport1.jpg)
Left to right, top to bottom: Kyabetsu, Vespera, sss979 (w/sai), and me (Ninja School Drop Out).

This is an old one of Scary Giganto-Head Bevin.
Fear the head! (http://www.geocities.com/stratavenus/happyshirttrans3.gif)

And a sprite my friend George made for me of a character of mine who is essentially a parody of myself.
Oh she'll kill ya (http://www.geocities.com/deadpool69612/spvin.gif)

I have others of me (I'm so vain), but I'll just chill on the bandwidth for the moment. Unfortunately I don't know most of the other people in here well enough to draw them yet. :embarass:

Edit: Oh yeah, they're Geocities links, copy and paste, yadda yadda.

--Bevin

[kyabetsu]

thanks, Mp and Tetsu! that's very sweet of you. I'm glad you like my work.

As for drawing people, heh. you can ask Mouse and SkeletonCrew about this one: i tend to take on projects faster than i FINISH them... heeh... so i've always got a to-do list. but, Tetsu, since you've got a definite character with a background story that you'd posted and i can follow (and i think is a really cool idea :D ) if you'll be patient with me... (and i do mean REALLY patient... SC's been waiting for her birthday drawing for, um, 2 monthes now?) i'd like to take a crack at drawing you!

I hope Cqb doesn't mind too much, but it's hard to draw people without either knowing them well or at least knowing if there's a character or something that they want to be seen as.... cause really, i wouldn't know where to start with his. :-?

but ANYWAYS... this thread isn't just supposed to be MY art... i wanna see your stuff TOO. *Looks happily at Persephohi's* she's got the right idea! if nobody's drawn you, post a SELF-portrait! (heh :wink: and since i KNOW that Tetsu's ALREADY drawn Whiteshell ELSEWHERE, i KNOW Tetsu'll post a version for us!) *is giddy w/ anticipation*

okay: 2 more? SUUUUURE!!

this one is MOUSE. i've not seen her around for a while, but she's a gargoyle fan in ADDITION to the TMNT. so naturally, her avatar was a gargoyle (heh, her avatar's OLDER than the one i drew, but i couldn't resist) it's BABY MOUSE!!

http://pic6.picturetrail.com/VOL144/1002116/1867767/23498417.jpg

okay, this one... uh, i had to EDIT to be able to post it here. there is a non-censored version in the adults-only section of Tinselcat's website. my "www" link is to my all-age gallery on her page. if you wanna see it bad enough to hunt that down, then i guess you win. *shrug* but here's the EDITTED version... (and mods, if that's STILL too risque, lemme know, i'll GLADLY take it down, but she's all covered!)

I had Vespera's permission (and even encouragement :evilgrin: ) to do this one. It's a portrait of VESPERA BLAZE, Vespera's character from the RPG based on her avatar. The Character was a stripper/dancer at a local NY club.... hence the, um... well... you'll see.

http://pic6.picturetrail.com/VOL144/1002116/1867767/23496233.jpg

heh. um. just cause i gotta make this joke before some one else does, cause it's inevitable really... She's got nice cans, huh?...

ha ha ha.
okay. i'm done. but i think Andy Warhol would approve. Ves is "M'm! M'm! Good!" :P :wink: :evilgrin:

[HorseTechie]

Heh.. wowza. This place is just rippin with pics! :lol:

Well, I don't draw other people that much, me being the busy but lazy sort... but I did fall victum to the Let's Draw Azure Fad from awhile back:

http://www.turtlequest.com/art/images/azuremango.gif

And also Martin, Az's bag of sawdust...
http://www.turtlequest.com/art/images/azuremartin.jpg

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

HT, Those are brilliant!

[HorseTechie]

*shrugs* Neh... thanks. :D

Tis a scary thing to realize I can draw like Lawson (City at War) if I wanted too.

[kyabetsu]

hee hee it's MARTIN!! :lol: i love that little sandbag just for all the trouble he caused! heh. yaaaaay HT! more azure pics! MORE! there's NEVER enough AZURE!!

lol
okay... um.. two more?

this is TinselCat! she hosts alot of my art, writes incredible FanFiction and draws like nobody's business. Sadly, she also goes MIA from the drome for long stretches at a time. *sniffle.* i miss her!

http://pic6.picturetrail.com/VOL144/1002116/1867767/23496803.jpg

and i found the GOOD one i drew of Machias Banshee! ... i had to edit it, like the Vespera picture, to make it fit the PG-13 limit... but it's all good now!

http://pic6.picturetrail.com/VOL144/1002116/1867767/23544422.jpg

[Machias Banshee]

:o :toops: Heh, I remember that

I did a pic of Azure not long back...well, two but one really sucked.

I love this one the best. Its a photo manip, but it got me an award in the fanart awards... :D

http://www.geocities.com/azureturtle21/besthandsturtlebaby.jpg

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Both of those were amazing.
The one of Machi is very Dinosaur like.
Like something out of a sexy version of Dinotopia.
And The Tinsel cat one is just plain cool!

[Nickokapo]

I've seen most of those, they're all very good :D Specially the tinselcat one is very well colored.
I'd do some forum based art...maybe of azure or nturtle because turtles rock :evilgrin: but i'd have to get permission or something.

[HorseTechie]

Heh.. I remeber seeing those two as well.

Oh.. and Tinselcat had done an ink sketch of HT, for me to CGI color awhile back, but of course, it's not colored yet. If you guys are really dying to see, I can post her lineart... :D

[kyabetsu]

DO IT, HORSETECHIE! POST IT!!!

lol. if she were here, i'd pester her to post her PIMP DADDY $PLINTER and his LADIES one... she SENT me a copy.... heh. heck...


TINSELCAT MADE THIS. I DID NOT. IT'S REALLY COOL, SO YOU SHOULD TELL HER SO!!

PIMP DADDY $PLINTER & HI$ LADIE$:
kyabetsu the bunny, SkeletonCrew the Goth, Kali the Demon, Tinselcat on his left, and Machias Banshee at his feet.
http://tcplanet.thetechnodrome.com/Splinterhoscolor.jpg

she should pop up and take credit for that. *shouts* TINSELCAT!! WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?!

*crickets*
... no tinselcat...
*sniffle*

[Nturtle]

I've seen most of these pictures before, they are all great, namely Azure and Martin!!
That Pimpin' Splinter by TC is hillarious too!!! :lol:

Yeah Tinselcat and Azure haven't been around lately, its been kind of boring without all the craziness we used to have with them....*sai*

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Tinsel Cat's Pic is Great.

You know Pimpin' ain't easy but if you're sellin' it, sellin' it, sellin' it,
IT'S ALRIGHT! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[azure turtle]

I'm still around, Nturtle! Just not as often as I used to be. I've noticed that you've reduced your online time as well. I guess we'll have to make up for it once summer rolls around, ne? :)

Heh heh... I remember a lot of those drawings. Kya 'n HT rock!! I think the only forum sketch I ever did was of Kali. It was a small comic strip that was a precursor (sp?) to Random Silliness. Err... It's badly drawn, though. I can't draw humans very well. Err, demons. :embarass:

I'd do some forum based art...maybe of azure or nturtle because turtles rock but i'd have to get permission or something.
Heh heh... don't worry about it. I don't mind. I love how you draw, Nicko! Especially that Shredder/Splinter pic. If you're ever up to it, you can go ahead. I'm not gonna go into some sort of hissy fit. :razz:

[Nturtle]

Yeah, darned school!! :dead:

That would be cool Nicko, your drawings are awesome!

[HorseTechie]

Okay... not to gloat or anything, but since you asked fer it!

Here are two pics TC did of HT. One is a rough concept sketch, the other is the more finished lineart I'll color one of these days. But hay, if you want to see more of her forum member art, check out TC's website. :wink:

http://www.turtlequest.com/art/images/TC_HTsketch.jpg http://www.turtlequest.com/art/images/TC_HTcolor.jpg


Then... awhile back, Loolaa sent me this pic too. I about forgot about it, until I went looking for TC's pics. :D

http://www.turtlequest.com/art/images/loolaathankHT2.JPG

Alrighty then... enough of me. Anyone else? 8)

[Tinselcat]

heeeeey, i recognize some of these pics! :P you guys are niiiice! i don't even know HOW to post pics in these messages. help anyone?

[HorseTechie]

Be glad ta help!

1. You type in the URL of your pic, such as http://www.turtlequest.com/art/images/loolaathankHT2.JPG

2. Then highlight that URL, and look over the buttons above this message box. There should be one called "IMG". Click on that, and it should put [IMG] tags before and after your image URL.

Of course, the site you are linking the image to must allow for direct linking. Since your site is on the Technodrome, you shouldn't have a problem, TC. :D

[GK Punk]

it's "" then you put the url, then "" with out the qoutation marks

[HorseTechie]

Beatcha to it! :P

[GK Punk]

Beatcha to it! :P

lol, if I didn't hit "Preview" I wouldda beat you that time, gadget!

[Tinselcat]

*realization dawns like a new day* ooooooohhh... thanks Grunger and HT!

[Nickokapo]

Ok, i'm doing my forum based art0r rite n0w so if ya dont want your character to be in my pic speak now or STFU forever :evilgrin: (i've already started drawing the mighty mutanimoderators so its too late for azure and HT to escape :P then again azure gave me TEH O-K so i bet he wont mind :D )
I'll also use a paper without lines this time because those suck.

[Nickokapo]

This is what i've done so far:
http://pic1.picturetrail.com:80/VOL133/1037460/1940421/23931869.jpg
I'm gonna add more characters as soon as i figure out how to draw em :| i'm just angry beause picturetrail resized my picture

[Nturtle]

Its HT and Azure I presume!!

But they look kind of narrow, you know what I mean?

[Nickokapo]

Yeah i know :lol: i guess it's because im not using the construction thing, but if i do my drawings end up looking weirder..
BTW that's HT and j00, i was gonna do azure eating a mango but i tried drawing him and i cant :dead:

[HorseTechie]

:o It's me! (again)

Hay, that's cool, Nicko. I ageree with Nturtle that we look narrow. But hay, I always wondered what I look like if I were as tall n slender as a supah model! :D

Hrmm.. it also looks as if Az n I are plotting world domination, er something. :evilgrin: I like the way my hands are making fists of angst there.

[Loolaa]

Ooh ooh! Me too!! *jumps up and down*
I'll just do links cuz I'm crap and you'll need to copy and paste.... but this one's TINSELCAT!

http://tcplanet.thetechnodrome.com/tcbyloola.gif

AZURE!

http://www.geocities.com/azureturtle21/HappyBDay.jpg

KAMEKO!

http://www.geocities.com/through_the_manhole/images/kloolaag.jpg

KALI!

http://www.geocities.com/kaligargoyle/Azure-kisses-Kali.jpg

and HT just showed the one I did for her.

I love TC's pics of HT. Especially the one with the electric pichfork, she even looks... dare I say it... ladylike... :evilgrin:
Oooh, and I like your art style Nicko. Cool.

[Nickokapo]

:o It's me! (again)

Hay, that's cool, Nicko. I ageree with Nturtle that we look narrow. But hay, I always wondered what I look like if I were as tall n slender as a supah model! :D

Hrmm.. it also looks as if Az n I are plotting world domination, er something. :evilgrin: I like the way my hands are making fists of angst there.
:lol: No, it's a LOCK you're holding in case we do something lame and you have to lock our lameness in the topics.
Btw that's NT not AZ :p i drew a 'narrow' azure with a narrow mango (i drew it all narrow on purpose in case you're wondering because i thought it was funny) and was gonna add machias and tinselcat but i aint scanning it..i think i rushed it and such, if i do another pic that looks better and makes the characters justice i'll post it, for now you could say the pic was cancelled :P
I love TC's pics of HT. Especially the one with the electric pichfork, she even looks... dare I say it... ladylike... :evilgrin:
Oooh, and I like your art style Nicko. Cool.
Yeh those pics are great, i liked the second one the most..and thank j00, i like your art too :D i knew it was cool ever since i saw yer avatar @ mikeys forum.

[Machias Banshee]

Hmm...


*looks through her pics*

darn...I'll have to look around and get some ideas...

[Nturtle]

Thats me!! whoops.... :goofygri:

And I have to agree with HT, it kind of looks like we are plotting world domination! :lol:

Loolaa's pic of TC is really good!!

[kyabetsu]

http://mysmilies.creativesell.net/kao/chika/chirolp_banzai.gif
yaaaaaaay this thread ain't DEAD!!!

woot!

i LOVE your work, Loola!
and thank you for posting those pictures, HT!

heh, yaaaaaaay! Nick used unlined paper AND ink! wooo hooo! that enlongated look is a really neat style. El Greco did stuff like that-- uh... back in the day-- and not of Turtles or Mutants. But yeah, you can always pick out his work cause of all the cool string bean people. and the weird color scale... lots of greys and yellows. (he was color blind) not that you're color blind. just that i like the style cause it's neat. *shuts up. no more rambling.*

[Nickokapo]

I like how ht looks, he/she/whatever's serious...however nt looks kinda evil :P OH WELL GIMME A BREAK OR ELSE I'LL CRASH MY CAR.
I mean im just starting in this art stuff :p
I agree the tc pic is pretty cool, i also liked the birthday one the most. the kali one doesnt seem to be working for me tho.

[Nickokapo]

Thanks kyabetsu, i may not be color blind but watermellons rox.
I'll check if that made sense later...IM BUSY NOW :evilgrin:

[HorseTechie]

I like how ht looks, he/she/whatever's serious...however nt looks kinda evil :P OH WELL GIMME A BREAK OR ELSE I'LL CRASH MY CAR.
I mean im just starting in this art stuff :p

*lol* Oh great, I'm an "it" now! :P

Yeah, yeah, HT may be androgenous looking without tits, but it's safe to say that she is a she, as far as referance terms go. :D

No, it's a LOCK you're holding in case we do something lame and you have to lock our lameness in the topics.
Btw that's NT not AZ :p i drew a 'narrow' azure with a narrow mango (i drew it all narrow on purpose in case you're wondering because i thought it was funny) and was gonna add machias and tinselcat but i aint scanning it..i think i rushed it and such, if i do another pic that looks better and makes the characters justice i'll post it, for now you could say the pic was cancelled
Ohh.. that's a lock. :oops: And it's NT... *double :oops: * I guess I should pay closer attention to such details (dispite my fantic hurriedness through these numerous posts).

The look of it is still kinda neat, but if there is going to be another, than I'm sure that one is gonna be just a cool! :D

[CookSux]

Hmm I think I'm getting an idea for the next Artjitsu :wink:

[cqb101]

I hope Cqb doesn't mind too much, but it's hard to draw people without either knowing them well or at least knowing if there's a character or something that they want to be seen as.... cause really, i wouldn't know where to start with his. :-?




You don't know what I look like?! j/k. I look like a paintballer who is in love with Rogue. :D

[Shadow]

I look nothing like my avatar...there is a pic of me in the "your picture thred" I've been told I looked the most "normal" whatever that means!

[Machias Banshee]

Hmm I think I'm getting an idea for the next Artjitsu :wink:

:lol: Uh oh.. :P :D
