[AnimZiggy]

ok it seems that i have a language gap here...
please define starboard for me, it's a nautical term right?

thanks.

[crazy3dman]

starboard:

The right-hand side of a ship or aircraft as one faces forward.

[AnimZiggy]

ahhh, thanks! I had a look at the greek translation, but im afraid im not keen with nautical terms..... (-shy-)

[crazy3dman]

i like pirates. i also don't know how this forum feels about vector sketches, but i hope it's ok?

15 min, wacom tablet + illustrator.


Vector - Pixel - Pencil - Paint - Crayons - we love them all!

Love your pirates. :thumbsup:

[SalamanderCoral]

[robinayles]

Salamander & oblivisci - good sketches, this thread is off to a good start!

AAAARG matey!

[The Damned]

OK, so the Wacom arrived (EDIT: 40mins ago) and I've realised that practice is required.

20mins, Photoshop

Sorry its poor but things can only get better.

[SalamanderCoral]

The Damned: nice one! hehe, funny idea...:)

[SpeccySteve]

[bealobo]

those of you who are incredibly dynamic sketchers can try to make one of those amazing compositions with strange angles and so, mine is so flat...

1:15 with wacom+ photoshop

[HellBoy]

great sketches ppl :thumbsup: I can't join this one now, I'll do some later


enjoy

[crazy3dman]

bealobo - Well, looks to me like you're getting pretty comfortable with the tablet. :) I like the impressionisic treatment of the water and I like the lighting on the foreground.

[Ilikesoup]

Salamander -- beautiful style, and I just saw what you meant by "can't get these damned avatars out of my mind". Who's face is that on the figurehead ?

[SalamanderCoral]

thank you Soup! for the matter of the figurehead, thats a good question....
its pretty hard to recognize, but i intended it to be drumwhores face...:)

[daw]

nice work everyone!!!

I gave it 2 hours in PS wacom

[negator]

Another quicky, because pirates are cool.

[mybutterflyiris]

Not exactly happy with this one.....like the image in my head and this don't quite line up... but I'm still learning so here it is.

photoshop cs plus wacom about 1 hr.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v669/mightyevilbunny/pirates.jpg

[yonna]

Daw - light worked well in this picture.
Alex worthy - i think he is seeing bunnies in the sky
gorgnut - sure, you can submit (almost) anything.
negator - Great water, shipmodel and lights are awesome. Perfect
Kvaalen - nice joke in comic-style
Angryscientist - this one has a bit of a crayon feeling but why using three programs?
element5 - thats a very decent pic for such a short time.

[AngryScientist]

jånnis (member.php?u=118426), I sketch in OpenCanvas and am learning how to use Painter, but since I managed to blotch something I went to PS and applied some textured brushes. :)

[deaderthanred]

SalamanderCoral: fantastic sketch :)
negator: great painting!

http://img126.exs.cx/img126/1131/pirates0on.jpg (http://www.imageshack.us)
almost 2 hrs of doodling in photoshop 7

[Dranger]

...tried half an hour but the result was so horrible I can't even post it. Costumes, old boats, water...too many problems :)
All sketches in this thread are beautiful, thank you!

[paperclip]

3 mins, microsoft paint and mouse:D

Meh, not really into pirates. Nice sketch Salamander. Keep it up everyone!

[oblivisci]

Supervlieg, for someone not into pirates you sure captured the right mood. I love it. It's certainly one among the many sketches in this thread I'd like to put up on my dedicated pirate-wall...

[daw]

good entries,,,

element5 and jånnis - thanks guys

deaderthanred - nice twist :thumbsup:

Supervlieg - very good - love the colors!

[DreamMaster]

Artrage... about 45 min of drawing. I'll post the uncolored version cuz I'm not so sure if I want to color it :S

I took "starboard" literally ;)

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y1/beauty7/pirateatstarboard-copy.jpg

[Downwrdspiral]

Dream master, since when did micheal jackson and his monkey, man ships? lol

[AtmaWeapon]

Ack this one didn't come out as well as I wanted it to. Oh well... 1 hour 45min photoshop
http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~beiy/cgtalk/starboard.jpg

[AtmaWeapon]

Supervlieg - good to see you again. Thats a really vibrant picture
deaderthanred - Lighting is amazing... I really have to learn to do that better
negator - WELCOME! That is a great style. Water is superb
oblivisci - Welcome as well. Vector art is great, we don't get enough of it.

[SpeccySteve]

...tried half an hour but the result was so horrible I can't even post it. Costumes, old boats, water...too many problems :)
All sketches in this thread are beautiful, thank you!

Post it anyway, DSG is not a contest, there's no prizes. The idea is to sketch random stuff, get doodling practice and have some fun / get better doing it.

[Aardbei]

Need sleep.. so it's a quicky.. and I suck at drawing disco balls :P

http://img218.exs.cx/img218/7859/pirateatstarrrboard7qf.png


20 (?) minutes / Wacom / Paintarrr! IX

[deaderthanred]

Supervlieg: thanks for posting your WPE! i always look forward to watching how you work. super sketch as always :thumbsup:
AtmaWeapon: those ships look way better than any i can draw; perhaps adding more color variation (especially more blue from the sky reflected on the water) would enhance it further
paperclip, you're definitely an MSpaint expert ;)

[zerofil]

Hello to every one there, I'm Philip from Tahiti, I'm looking at your good and inspiring work for months now. I don't know why but I'm very shy posting my images :hmm: , but I decided to learn more so here I come. I'll try participate more to this GREAT forum :D

So here it is Photoshop :
- 1 hour
- mouse only :banghead:
- no ref pic

http://www.opt.pf/temp/pcol/zerofil_DS268.jpg

I'm quite unhappy with many proportions problems and ... too many to list. :p
Thanks to all of you for sharing.

[SpeccySteve]

Yaaaar!

Welcome to the monkey house Zerofil.!

[DreamMaster]

2 hours of painting w/ Photoshop (plus 45 min of drawing in artrage).... I know it's blurry, but... I was experimenting with soft brush... wrong move, but oh well. At least I get good basic colors in.

Enjoy! I hope you like it :)

crazy3dman: cute take on the topic! :D
FridayEve: great sketch (as always) :)
DreamMaster: nothing really wrong with the figure, maybe it's the long hair and white skin with pointy features that makes him look like MJ? still cracks me up tho lol!

Painter, Wacom, 1 hour.

[White Rabbit]

Wow one of my topics got picked ! And i'm sooo busy with school asignments these days I haven't even been able to participate :s You guys have done such a great job of it too! They are all really, really good...

I would SO have liked to be a pirate... *sighs* oh well, computer graphists ain't too bad.

[The Damned]

Some really nice work here everyone. Can anyone help me with the settings for a wacom?

I cant seem to get the settings right. Do ppl use colour variation or scatter or anything?

[Kirt]

[The Damned]

Element5 - Nice take on it. :D
Kirt - I was going to do the pie.. rat joke, lol. Nice picture as usual.

Ok, a quick scribble... should i try and colour it or is it not worth it? C+C please.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v40/Retro90210/Studio/Pirates2.jpg

[yonna]

TheDamned - For colors, look at Supervliegs piccie, his composition is a bit the same as yours. And if you want to see how he did that, just download the event file requires the free proggie OpenCanvas. Hope that helps.

[SpeccySteve]

Can anyone help me with the settings for a wacom?

I cant seem to get the settings right. Do ppl use colour variation or scatter or anything?

I'd be interested to hear how other people have PS set up with their tablets too, I've finally got Painter doing roughly what I want, can't seem to find good settings for PS though.

[cg_sprite]

Here is mine

sorry about the hosting, 15 mins, Painter IX, Wacom.

[SpeccySteve]

Can't see anything here..

If your host is a bit dodgy, Imageshack is free and generally quite reliable.

Edit: heh, now I see it, weird..

[Nekoi-chan]

As always everyone is making a great job! :thumbsup:

Vitriolic: His smile is really something, no offence, but the concept looks a bit sadic, 2 wooden legs and 2 hook hands...it mst be really hard to live that way.
SalamanderCoral: very humoristic :).
DreamMaster: that pirate really does look like M Jackson, but also reminds me of captain hook.
crazy3dman: This is so cute...and brings back memories.
negator, Supervlieg, Zebula: The word is awsome.


Here's my Pirate, took around 3 hours to do :banghead: (fast....:X). Lineart on paper, color open canvas, clouds photoshop. It's horrible, but practice is always good. :)


http://nekoi.no.sapo.pt/Nekoi/pirate1.jpg

[AnimZiggy]

really bad attempt on colouring the sketch. just wanted to scribble around with the new wacom that arrived to work today. heh. consider me a regular from now on! And yes I will take all the harsh crit you have to give me.. about 15' phtshp.

[Taron333]

How fitting...I'm currently making some muscle studies based on loosely observating muscles and even more loosely sketching them with my Photoshop-pencil-brushes...totally fun. I once did a scan session of one of my pencil sketches and made some brushes out of the textures...so much fun, really...I think I mentioned that before already....however, it's really not the greatest sketch, but a fun one...

(about 3h)PhotoshopCS

Hope you like it!

[Aedilhum]

cgboxer. I like it, nice style.

[bealobo]

Hi!
nice sketches around, voting this one will be a very difficult task.

JVaughan, love your avatar and your sketch . How much time did you spend on it?

[annisahmad]

wats up guys!
been busy lately.
glad to join this thread :D:D very inspiring work!

i chose to approach this in a different manner then most here. instead of going the traditional 'pirate' way, i went futuristic with these pirate ships. the city is starboard because of all the planets. its being attacked and the ships, again, are pirates :P

1 hour in photoshop cs. of course its a concept ;).
be careful, im still green... hehe.
