A little self-confidence. That is a jacket I wear a lot. It doesn't quite fit me, it's a man's jacket and my hips/bum are too wide. Plus the zipper is broken. But it looks cool, and it goes *squeakysqueakysquitch* when I move. So I edited the face a little. I have freckles. Oh, in case you could not figure this out, this is not a character, it is me. It is a self portrait of what I look like in real life (Although maybe a bit slimmer for vanity's sake), I am that person. I am a real human woman and I look more or less like that. That is my hair and those are my clothes and SOMETIMES I'm really sarcastic. OMG it doesn't end. >_< Can we drop this please? http://download.lardlad.com/sounds/season11/eight15.mp3 (Edited on January 5, 2009, 8:14 pm)

nifty concept! I enjoy the folds at your elbow, and of course raph's shadow is love!

Man, I hope it's not my ass you're going to kick.

I wouldn't mess with you Ras or no Ras. I have to agree with rayebs on the folds and textures.

Bassman. Do piss off. Your 'art' is terrible, and you have no business insulting anyone else.

I have to agree with Seraph unfortunately. I just really didnt want to say anything but that seriously was just stupid.

Yeah, Bassman. There have been many times I wanted to delete your art for lack of effort but I generally let them stay...just try not to push things by insulting other artists here. Nobody would really miss you if you were banned.

I thought he was a troll. That or he has arse-burgers or some shit.

now... i'm not a fan of bassmans art. but Unfourtunatly i feel the need to defend him. I may be inccorrect, but I do not think he was insulting the work, but commenting on what the subject matter looks like. If so, he states that the image depected looks a semblance to rosie o'donnal, only gothic. still could be an insult, if ya not a fan of rosie, but I DON"T think it was an art quality insult.

The attitude on this board is generally pretty lax, so I didn't think it was anything too inflammatory. Just a bad joke. I really wish it was realistic to make a practice board.

Rayebs: You don't think telling someone their self-portrait looks like Rosie O'Donnell might be considered an insult by some people? I don't think Rosie is ugly, but the way it was phrased made it seem like an insult to me. And it could be construed as an insult to my art as well as my looks. I've held my tongue about his comments for a long time, and yeah, I got pissed off. (Edited on January 4, 2009, 4:08 pm)

@seraph. YES i do, i think it is possible, but i DON"T think it was an art quality insult! that was the point i was trying to make, esp since everyone in response to bass man commented on the art quality of his work. Blank him for a possible insult on subject matter But not for an insult on ART quality. an no, seraph. I like and respect rosie o'donnell but I am a large chicka, so if i drew myself and was refered to her, i woudn't necc be insulted. Now if you don't like rosie but think horrible of her, then yeah, it is an insult. just depends on how ya look at it. and forgive seraph, I do not know your gender, and it would be much more insultive of bassman's comment if you are not female, and i am assuming you are. (Edited on January 4, 2009, 7:21 am)

Umm...I think the "My God" part would tend to indicate this was meant as an insult. And while that is, in itself, no reflection of the art work per se, it's an incredibly juvenile thing to say and seems typical of Bassman's mind set. And I believe that's what Seraph was responding to - her retort seems to be one of sheer exasperation. So, Bassman; comment on the quality of the work, not on your opinion of the subject...it has no bearing on the matter and makes you look like a jerk.

Oh my goodness! My internet sensibilities have been offended! Mercy me! These comments give me the horribles! Get over it guys. It's the Internet. Let's go back to having fun and not bitching at each other. This is why we can't have nice things!!

I thought we couldn't have nice things because we kept setting them on fire?

I like your anhk necklace ^~.~^

I think a practice board would be a cool idea Wac. Why isn't it feasible? Too much bandwith? Hosting fees too much? If it's hosting fees, I wouldn't mind helping cover them. Honestly.

Too bad there isn't another board on the site that is hardly used...

Seraph looks nothing like Rosie O'Donnell - neither does this pic; the only fleeting resemblance is that they are both big women...which means..oh my god..I must look like Rosie too cuz I'm also big!

Bassman, it's not impossible for you to eventually find your place here. We felt very much the same way about Sean as we do about you in the beginning, but he made great efforts at improving his art and his attitude. If anyone else had said what you said, it probably would have gone unnoticed. But you generally have an attitude problem around here that is completely unwarranted because you are quite frankly nowhere near as refined an artist as anyone else on this board. Maybe go away to oekakicentral.com for awhile and use their practice boards or something and come back when you've improved and matured.

What's wrong with communists? Do you hate Robin Hood too? Also, nothing offensive about God. Invoking him/her/it/they/hir in an argument can be kind offensive, though. Much like Hitler, really.

whelps, after bassman's second comment, i revoke any support and defense i showed.

BassMan, I did not want to take shit to this point but your second comment was just horrible and proves you have no grasp of your own problems. I was like you once. My art wasnt that good and I was disliked because of it. I was an obnoxoius ass like most 17 years olds with internet access are. I wasn't wanted on DTP by a number of people, but I kept pushing through because of support and the kinds words of folks like Sabine and Wac. Today I do my best to be mature about the way I treat people and hand out my criticism. I DO NOT however, make snide backhanded insults, and then try to back it up with more unintelligable drivel. It doesn't matter that you weren't trying to insult Seraph. What matters is that it was taken the wrong way. Any person with a hint of tact would have apologized and left it be, but instead you went and tried to validate your insult. This is the kind of behavior I expect off 4chan, not a respected artist's board. I don't see any hope for you AssMan. The only person to even back you up on this just up and renounced it and plenty of people here would agree your art isn't getting any better. Go somewhere like Bluefurry or Immorakaki if you want to be an idiot. We don't need them here. And with that I apologize to Seraph, Dej, Wac, and Sabine for the angry rant and drama.

I thought it was very well said, Sean, and I think everyone can drop it now please

Well if you'd like to stay here, think before you comment. It'll make everyone's life easier.

Bassman you just keep digging a deeper and deeper hole for yourself with every comment you make.

Honestly I don't draw on Oekaki boards often anymore. This board has been my oekaki-ing place of choice for years because of the good people, fun artists and the lackadaisical attitudes we usually all have. However, BassMan has been offensive to me in the past, without reason, and obviously continues to be so to others. He's an asshole. I've just stopped coming and posting because well, lets just say that the board has gone down hill for a while now. I'm not trying to be an elitist bitch, this isn't about art quality, this rant is about the quality of people. I don't see why we put up with people who have nothing to offer this group. At one point, I thought a lot of us were pretty decently close friends, and that was a good thing. Now well, I don't post, and I know some other people have moved on and have busy lives, but i cant be the only one who doesn't post because people are dicks around here lately. Anyhow, that was tangential and TLDR, but anyways. I wouldn't be opposed to bannings happening.

AssMan, are you seriously that DENSE? This has NOTHING to do with Rosie O'Donnell. I hate her ass too but you are missing the point by a MILE. Seraph took offense to it because it was an attack at her, not O'Donnel and you're continuing to be a dumbshit, whether on purpose or out of just being dense I can't even tell anymore.

We miss you Syrynx! And everyone else that disappeared...the golden age of this oekaki board has definitely passed. But I still like to draw here I do miss the days of...Oh I dunno, 2-3 years ago?

Oh my god, I remember Bassman's first two comments and now I come back and delicious drama was obviously to be had and I MISSED IT *cries*

Yeah, I voluntarily deleted them so tough shit

You're very brave to grace us with your beauty, I would never do a true self portrait, I have a condition called, date rape face.

She's a monster hybrid crime fighter! Whups, sorry, I accidentally bump'd. (Edited on October 25, 2008, 8:19 am)

Oups someone almost forgot the tail cool pic and 40 mins, wow

Fappalicious!!!

That's just plain beautiful... For some reason my tab doesn't seem to be capable of such smoothness, no matter how hard I try... so I keep practicing until I can turn out something worth posting.

it is delicious underboob. you must eat it.

Ok...so I love the bandanna 'round her neck...and the little bitty roundness of her tummy...and her boots!!!
Once again, your skills amaze me. Sniff...I have tears of joy (and just a hint of envy) in my eyes...

Seraph I loves your stuff

I've promised myself to come up with a better name.

Mantis fish?

heheh.. I kind of like it, myself. This reminds me of an odd phone call we got at my work about a beta and a goldfish. A little boy wanted to know if his beta ate his goldfish, could he get his money back if he brought in all the pieces of the goldfish. I still dont' know if it was a prank call or not. ^~.~^

It probably wasn't a prank - goldfish and betta do NOT go together. For reasons aside the differences in their tank requirments: Bettas have teeth like tiny little piranhas, and can easily kill other fish their own size. They readily attack any fish that looks like another betta, and a fan-tailed goldfish may fit that bill.

True..Although we had a betta that we ended up having to put in the main tank with a bala shark..And discovered that bala sharks can bully a betta into submission, once they're big enough.

How 'bout Bette Noire?
Grin.

Bette Epsilon Tango Tango Epsilon, maybe?

Alpha last though.

Nobody knows quite what happened after that.

: d coffee stains spoilin' the purdy pony : (

One can only hope they were all eaten. ^~.~^ Nice anatomy here, btw.

nice

nice coffee mark here. and a great nightmare unicorn

I'll have a tattoo of that...

I could go many ways, but this is more traditional. ...The background... needs. (Uploaded by Seraph)

I looove it...I don't know who is having more fun - the....um....green flamingo, the demon chair or the Cheshire cat!!!

Ohhh! I love it. Very well done!

not that i had anythign wrong with her other skin tones but i find this one a bit more attractive .. love the cat's natural rubbing against anything in its way, mm spread legs ... Lucky Dejection so many possible tatoo designs to chose from.

Haha. This came out so cute. Too bad it's not a pose I could get where I want to get the tattoo done. I still love her outfit design though.

LOVE the cat and how you worked it in. yay shiny boots, and i can more clearly see the stocking and gloves. when i colored, i totally missed that part! lol

Beautiful!

Since we're on the topic... The background is actually 3 photos edited and collaged, with some painting to meld them together. Eisenfaust: ^_^ (Edited on August 30, 2008, 7:05 pm)

That background is fantabulous. I like his long creepy fingers too.

That background, my God that bg. Did you photo manip a picture? Because it's that's good. Oh, he's good too.

Did I ever tell you how much you rock? Not only is your line art lovely, but so is your sense of design.

Well slap my ass and call me Alice, I feel silly focusing on the bg. But Mr Rabbit fits in nicely. I love that little tea cup, so detailed, it could be an antique.

No mere queen, she! I'll colour her up eventually. But in the meantime, if anyone wants to have at 'er... (working on the anatomy some)

You guys are gonna make it tough for me to decide which one to get. Haha! The only problem with this one is the pose wouldn't really work for where I want to get it tattooed. Now if only Syrynx and Tigr3ss join in >.>

Nice touch with the smiling flamingo. The heels are chic too.

time for multi tat's I think Dejection

ohh, this is Lovely. Dej: If I can this week I will try and work something up, I just moved down to houston and don't really have my comp set up, but I'll see what I can't whip up ^^

I like comic books! (This is prettymuch all the Gargoyle ever wears. His skin is thicker than any shirt.)

The line work is really good! Comic book clean.

Punch! Kick! Be awesome!

haha I love how you added tones and paper shadow and smuges ^^ almost looks like a scan. Someone steal his cloths ??

Oops, watch your back!

please tell me this becomes a rape series!

haha I like how she has a breast plate but just a loincloth below. XD

This is it, people. The zenith of gaming has already been achieved.

Man. Now I don't even need to play the game!

Dayum.

I don't know what kind of game this is... but looks like it includes a joystick.

now without fig leaf . man i'm looking forward to spore i was soooo disapointed when i had watched the epesode of G4 where they told the public that the production had been postponed and cancled then month ago was walking by Electronic Botique and boom there were spore pre order cases ~! so yea orderd mine now just to wait till september. lol i'm wondering if your creation will be a pack hunter or a agressive solo hunter. i dont know if many preditors will want to be speared.

It's a herbivore of course. Eats shoots and leaves.

Man uses his highest technology to amuse himself.

Neat! You've got Trumpy eyes!

Ah, the Trumpy eyes are gone. Now you're just all good-looking and stuff.

I love the shading!!! Wow.. I am enjoying this weeks "theme".

Whoah, did you have plastic surgery since last edit... Nicely drawn.

Realisticastical!

I Just realized you have a website... the gallery is gorgeous.. and the pieces I'm most in love w/ are the Cyborg drawings. Super fav - "tea".

Thank you, Surey

Ugh, I could never do serious self portraits :C

This is really great! I love the way you drew your lips and the little curls in your hair.

Not too bad...it does look like you a bit, but you're a lot prettier in real life...
