Hmm, I'll maybe jump on this one. Perfect topic for me to 'sketch on paper' to. :thumbsup:

[GauntMan]

Suit?, check.
Fresh breath?, check.
Fish? check. What could go wrong?

Sketched in OpenCavas w/wacom tablet; Imported into XaraX for tracing and inking; Finally pulled into GIMP for resizing/postprocess.

Total time: 2.5 hours.

I haven't used XaraX for some time, so I thought this would be an interesting project to brush the dust off.

"Gettting used to visualizing vector fills is quite a shift in thinking", I mumbled to myself after the 17th time of retracing the outlines...

[element5]

First Date

Goro: Very funny man! I havent seen an avatar pic in awhile! ... I am starting to think I may have to apply for residency in Enayla's basement too ...

The Damned: Hilarious! best twist so far.

[Plagiarism]

http://img203.exs.cx/img203/8826/firstdate7dt.jpg


Goro- AWSOME!

Crazy 3D - excelent as always!

Matman - Ive been very close to that situation, LOL. always bring breath mints on dates. Just in case.

Jannis - SO SAD! awsome though.

[SpeccySteve]

http://img119.exs.cx/img119/742/1stdate0ki.jpg

[mybutterflyiris]

Elmasfeo: really awesome pic
Jannis: kind of scary, but I like.

So this is my pic done in photoshop cs, uhhh...have no idea about the time, because I went to class right when I was in the middle of making it. It's a bit different...yeah...
Anyways, nothing says I like you when you just met someone like pond scum.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v669/mightyevilbunny/grebecourt.jpg
for those of you who are wondering, these are grebes.

[Drumwhore]

I am sorry to see that your first date was a multiple amputee DrumWhore...did things work out?

Hehe I also thought something like this while painting it.. :D Some angles are just better than others... :)

[matman]

CodeNothing: Great lights on your sketch, i really like it... and good advise too!
ElmasFeo: I´had a similar idea to yours but finally went in another direction. I like your composition in the sketch... but i miss your funny stile ;D

[Lingon]

Tried out a new technique and kept the outlines. This one is more kind of sketchy but it still took me more than 2 hours in Photoshop, wacom.

http://anblo016.thg.se/sketch/first_date_cgtalk.jpg

I dream about being as good as you guys, keep up the good work!

[AStott]

This is my first posting here, and my first actual use of a tablet.

This was done in gimp. 1 hour.

[JVaughan]

http://www.jvaughan.org/images/FirstDate.jpg

Just thought I would post something on the non subjective side. Just a nice Sunset that reminds me of the (few, very, very few) good dates I have had. For those that care, 25 minutes photoshop. Hope you enjoy,

-J

[Gord-MacDonald]

Good work everyone! Lots of humour! You guys made my day. I have enjoyed looking at all of the images. I have been coughing my brains out all day. I think the only date I need is with a doctor :sad: . Man Its been a couple of days since I posted anything - I better get moving!


herOd - I can't stop laughing

GauntMan - very funny

element5 - yup the girls always have growth spirts earlier than guy - very cute. Oh hey, I think that guy is me - 37 years ago!

The Damned - at first I didn't get it but now that I do - GROAN!

Il Cattivo - youv'e got a nice feel in this drawing

Goro - very cool, and original as always - hehe - they didn't see her coming! (but we are all glad that she did)

DePingus - hmm - I think they are going to have a rather distant relationship

crazy3dman - really good - always loved the rascals!

andrewley - scarey!!!

InAction - very nice

MustardWash - this guy better cut out the romance - otherwise he is going to loose the race! (totaly funny by the way)

Plagiarism - a lovely moment - cool a Gimp user

Jannis - this is a very nice drawing (and a very patient woman!)

CodeNothing - something tells me this guy ain't out for romance

SpeccySteve - its the inner warmth that counts

Octothreat - interesting drawing - hmmm. look like this guy is confronting some pretty deep fears

mybutterflyiris - hey where did they get my recipe book!

Lingon - hey pretty good - all the basics are there - nice colour and composition!

JVaughan - very good work! esp given it was done in 25 min!

Shakey3d - welcome to the daily sketch group! "girlfriend now for 10 months" hey! the date couldn't have gone all that bad!



********************************************************************

BTW - if any of you want to see a tremendous site/resource for hair braids. check out dreamweaverbraiding.com (http://www.dreamweaverbraiding.com/) .This has got to be the ultimate braid site!

This site was interesting because I have soooo much difficulty drawing hair

[fcint]

Hey how is everybody??

well, I am working really slowly, couldn't finish mine, but oh well. A girl trying on a lot of different clothes before her big first date, (I'll add lots of clothes on the floor and the closet, but not today). i think she gets kind of lost. Is there not enough contrast?

Pencil sketch, Photoshop, wacom talbet a little above 4 hours!

First Date Image (http://groups.msn.com/CarlosFelipeLeon/shoebox.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=2)

Goro that was really funny can I get in there as soon as I get an atavar?

Jvaughan really cool lighting!

[babillya]

the damned - That is SO hilarious! I love it

[J-Bird]

Wow, there are a ton of great pieces here - you guys all rock!

This is one the best recent threads!

[Goro]

Thnx guys! I'm glad you like my sketch!

Enayla thnx! Haha I didn't know that with your hair....like in your new avatar right?
Well I just checked out your comics and remembered you from siggraph 2004. :)

Andrewley great as usual. Love your style!

hehe nice idea Mustardwash

fcint well I was thinking to include some new cgtalk members as a human silhouette in my sketch. But I decided to go with the avatars...so yes....no avatar no basement hehehe.
So post post post:)

everyone rock on!

[Enayla]

Goro -- of course you wouldn't know :] I did it rather recently (two months or so ago) and I don't post pictures of myself a lot clickety (http://www.furiae.com/images/braids.jpg), here's what it looks like now (in profile anyway, I'm redoing the braids again on Monday... I think I'll go with more red this time.). Are you going to SIGGRAPH again this year? :]

[Enayla]

Oh, and by the way: AWESOME work everyone in this thread. I can't seem to get inspired right now, otherwise I'd join in on the fun.

[Thany]

JVaughan: I really like it! Looks great. Love the colors.

Enayla: I was hoping to see a sketch from you today. Maybe tomorrow. Anyway, wow! Stunning picture of yourself. You look like your paintings. :)

Wish I could post as well, but I might miss a few days since I've got a new animation project lined up.

[AtmaWeapon]

Well... that midterm today was a bi*ch. But now that I'm done with that I can doodle! Yah! Here's my contribution to this thread. Kind of autobiographic actually... hmmm I wonder what ever happened to her. A real quickie. I'm sure everyone still remembers homecoming and/or prom.

Painter 15min

http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/beiy/cgtalk/firstDate.gif

JVaughan - great lighting
Goro - GENIUS! Its hella funny!
CodeNothing - No luck with women recently huh? ;) Seeing this and love is... Wow. I love the shading
Jannis - great.. Miss Havisham? How did she go to the bathroom?
II Cattivo - sexy
Goro and Enayla - I'm so jealous. The only way I can go to Siggraph is to publish a paper next year.
Drumwhore - Very sexy.

Edit:
I didn't see it but ficint! That is great!

[phospt]

Hi, Too much fun. kept trying to get to this so I missed the time, about 40 to 60 min. Photoshop & pencil.

hotandcold

[Goro]

thnx AtmaWeapon

Thany sad not to see a sketch from you :(
What kind of animation 3D or 2D?

Enayla wow I wouldn't have recognized you! The Photo looks indeed like your paintings. Great!
well...still don't know about siggraph...I'm almost done with my studies at the German Film School. I'll have my thesis presentation on Thursday next week and then I'm done!
So there will be a lot of change in my life in the next few months. Don't know where I'm gonna be. So if I earn enough money hehe maybe I'll go to siggraph...but who knows ;)

Cheers!
Goro

[TheTon]

...and he didn't even turn up!

1 hour, photoshop, Wacom.

http://img200.exs.cx/img200/1189/date2uq.jpg

[The Damned]

Thought I'd do a quick scribble.

Tadaa. 10mins, Photoshop (mouse)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v40/Retro90210/Romance2.jpg

[MVP]

It doesn't matter The Ton, it looks like those 2 sperm by her left shoulder will keep her company. :thumbsup:

[TheTon]

Ha ha! You're right of course. I would think though that she has more things to worry about what with all those UFO's landing behind her...! :)

[MVP]

The UFO's must also be disrupting the gravity...hence the floating bench.

[itayg]

thats very nice the ton, i like it:thumbsup:

[crazy3dman]

fcint - glad you've joined the group :thumbsup: that's another very nice piece you've started. Hope you keep on posting.

[Squibbit]

http://www.furiae.com/images/braids.jpg

those cowberries in your hair ?
or twisted matches ?

[JVaughan]

Squibbit,


God only knows what is in Enayla's hair, but one thing is for certain. It is very easy to see why she has a leg up on painting attractive women. I guess I should work on my slightly balding, pasty, overweight white guy pics. Somehow I doubt it will have the same basic appeal though. Here's to hoping! I guess we also know why most people from Sweden don't post pics of themselves, same reason Brad Pitt doesn't get to do adds in Maylasia (or was it Indonesia),

-j

[MustardWash]

Well, hmmmm....

I dont know if I would rather see pics done by Enayla or of Enayla... :D

[Enayla]

Things in hair are... like... well... fake berries of some kind, he he.

Okay, now this thread is making me blush. *edges out of it*

[element5]

With Beauty like Enayla who cares what she has in here hair :love:

@Enayla Your images are great and my favorite is As the crows sing

[InAction]

I think Enayla needs to go underground for a while. :p

[Her0d]

I think Enayla needs to go underground for a while. :p
Haha, exactly. And wait in hiding, till the male part of the sketch group will calm down a bit...
Cause now it looks like we need a separate, sticky thread for compliments to Enayla and her work with all the 'whoa, girl, You are very talented and pretty at the same time, i wanna marry You' posts moved there :-)

Maybe its just a sign that the spring is near... :-)

[InAction]

Hahahaha, so true indeed. :D

[robinayles]

Pretty funny guys...maybe we should get Roberto to do a topic on "DSG Lust" or something? :)

[RobertoOrtiz]

Down boys, or I will have to spray cold water around here with the water hose.

-R

[gulkan]

Those were the good old days. No gender equality nonsense. All you need was a solid piece of wood and you are in business. :twisted:


http://www.dolunay-llc.com/gallery/First%20Date.jpg


Photoshop + wacom + 2hrs.

[Taron333]

Things in hair are... like... well... fake berries of some kind, he he.

Okay, now this thread is making me blush. *edges out of it*

Poor Enayla....well, I have this theory about what influence the thoughts of people towards a single person have, like the more people respect your work, the more it empowers the meaning of your doing and the sensation that it is full of purpose and so forth.....now how are you going to deal with the entire CG community having a crush on you! HAHAHA! Not that I need to repeat this, but I always firmly believed, that the art of anyone is an extension of the artist's entire style, visually and physically as well as the consistency of this style within each element of the human's body....that would imply that I'm already dead...hmmm....so let's screw this theory and swing to another possible conclusion: You're spending way too much time infront of a mirror! ( :banghead: )

[InAction]

Taron333 I think you're 100% right there mate. :p

[HellBoy]

This guy got beaten up because he discovered his true lover with his boss and he tried to fight the boss but he got beatern up hard and got fired. He lost his lover and job so now he is taking his life. :buttrock:

hehe detail is not good but scanner 5-10min :)

[Taron333]

Taron333 I think you're 100% right there mate. :p

Don't make me regret that I said that! She's way too beautiful to be mad at me! :argh:

Here's one after all the talk...
