Bodybuilding artwork by Myseone (and anyone else who wants to add their own)

WOW i like your art dude. Very impressive to say the least.

Just one thing, have you got any painted pieces because not to take anything away as most of my pics used to be just done in pencil, but since i started oil painting, i realised the difficulty and skill is too a whole other level from shaded pics.

Anyway this is my first ever oil pic, with no previous are classes or tution - even though i need a class to learn how to use oild properly.

Thanks, yes I have painted pieces as well, most of my canvases aren't saved to the computer though. I have worked in a variety of mediums, oil, water color, airbrush, spray paint, and computer painting...

Not bad at all for a first time piece. You don't neccessarily need classes to paint or draw, I'm self taught myself, it depends on the way you learn best.

Peace,

Here is another piece, tell me what you think.


However, the pictures coming through look completely different as the quality of jpeg is messing with the colours and sharpness of the pic.

Definitely unique, reminds me of Picaso somewhat. What is the meaning in this one?

I use images of statues to represent the idea of the body as a monument to itself and our culture, and images of real, fleshy bodies to represent emotional life. The winged figures represent that part of our thought that refuses to be material and finite.

The peice can mean whatever you want it to mean to you. But it was generally the idea of hope and depression and the aid of friends or God to help you in times of need. However, as in life we are often unsure if friends have our best intentions at heart.

The peice is not finished, i have bout 2 layers to go (using the 7 layer rule of classical oil painters, which i read online somewhere), i want it to be much darker and smoother. The sparkling is due to wet paint being captured and the image has been compressed so looks hardly anything like it does in real life.

Anyway, these were just practice peices to see if i had potential with oil paints. I only realised in my 2nd peice the differences which can be made with correct equipment, linseed oil, turpentine, thinners. I hope to learn a lot more on my next couple of peices.

weird science

This pic is crazy man, look great, i love the fantasy aspect of your pics. Just a question: how long did you take to do this, and is it done in pencil?

[delta9mda]

Hey, ya think so? 

I lack inspiration because it's hard to stay dedicated with the hobby when I'm just about 100% certain I won't put that talent to much professional use. Do you have any advice on where to draw inspiration? I'm not saying you guys don't inspire me, because you do! I just need to tap into my creative imagination somehow.

Actually, I've recently become interested in clay art. I'm a big fan of Bruce Bickford. Do you know his work?

Here's some more. lol and that's almost all the drawing I've done in the past year. But when I get into it, I get serious!

Figgs, I can tell from your art that the line control is there; now you just have to know where and how to apply them.  And that's all through practice and memory.  We weren't born with pencils/brushes in our hands.  I always say drawing is like a sport--you get better with more practice.  The difference between me and someone who is older and thinks he/she can't draw is that I just happened to start "practicing" since I was 3, and never stopped!  You get what you put into it, kinda like bodybuilding.  Not everyone can be DaVinci, but everyone CAN get better.

Whats up Sm, I like your style of drawing, thoose true Adonis pics were classic man.

Thanks man, I hope to do more GBers when time allows.... you should do some too

I haven't drawn in 15 years but it seemed like I only drew when I was depressed.  My stuff is pretty simple compared to you guys.


And yet another one comes out    Nice work Stella, especially considering the layoff....imagine if you kept it up for those 15 years!

Don't forget about the great BARBARIAN DAVID PAUL is an awesome artist.Here is one that david painted.

[onlyme]

The picture of Sean looks really good.  Allot like the covers of my uncle Joes magazine.  He used to own this magazine Legends.  And it won several awards for its artwork.  If you remember back whatever year Tiger won the first grand slam he had baseball cards made and they set the record for one of highest selling cards in history.  They were getting $10,000+ for the cards.  His house if filled with the original paintings and they are awesome.  By the way I still think mine is the best for a natural

Something with color

[Butterbean]

are those "self" portraits?

nah, sometimes I'd look at a mag. or catalog.  I think I remember the bottom one being the model Fredrique.

Supreme Being, that is very impressive.  I was never able to paint...my stuff always looked like some 3rd grader did it

damn it i need scanner. i can throw down with the pencil!!!!!!!!

My scanner doesn't work either.  I used my camera to take pics of mine.

You're not bad myseone. I never though black dudes could draw let alone put pencil to paper. When did this happen?

Thats really funny, there are plenty that can

[dan18]
