Aanker's Art

[abbews]

Oh, and yes abbews, I should create a thread for this. Mind deleting my rule post above when I have created the thread?

Done eh?

[Aanker]

Really dusty in here, but I thought I'd clean up things with a submission for this week's GC!


(my favourite bird, in fact )

Opinions?

[cedric37]

Quite nice, altho i find his face funny (looks like he has taken some drugs )
Anyway, nicely done !

Drugs you say?

Exactly which part of the face, the eyes or the colourful beak? I would obviously not prefer to present a hippie tucan to the GC.

[cedric37]

Well i dunno, it has the same funny face as the scratch in ice age for me.



But maybe all tucans are that funny.

[Aanker]

I think I might understand what you're seeing - either it's the white reflection in the eye that looks as if it was an actual feature of the Tucan's optical biological instruments, or that the green around his eyes seems to be the 'whites' of his eyes. Either way, simply search for 'Tucan' on wikipedia and you'll see that Tucans are, in fact, quite enjoyable birds.

[cedric37]

Ah ok i thought the round around the black of the eyes was his eye too, so that explain his dumb and funny face. But now that i understand that they are coloured feathers, i see my mistake.
But still i can't help but smile at his scrat-like face. Sorry mate, it's well done, but now that i have imagined things about him, it will stay forever

Speaking of Scrat, I think I know exactly which enjoyable creature I should draw next...

[cedric37]

A squirrel ?

[Aanker]

A squirrel ?

I was in fact referring to Scrat himself. A squirrel is unfortunately beyond my skill, if you will (I rarely draw animals, except for some birds and reptilians).

I prefer your space ships. But your parrots are nice too.

Tucan

[cedric37]

I'm eager to see your scrat, as it was one of my favourite avatar on another forum

[Aanker]

New avatar, the old one cut sharp against the 'Artifex' text :


I think that I might want to remake it slightly though, the background should be darker (since the dwarf doesn't portrude enough currently), but overall, I am more or less satisfied with that outcome.

This is all part of my planned profile remake, a new signature coming up soon...

[abbews]

Very nice "living" Avatar!

[cedric37]

Mwahaha, excellent, just noticed the rolling eyes

[Louis Lux]

It creeped me out, at first I thought I was seeing things.

Haha, that was the basic idea, in fact.

[Lord of Lost Socks]

Hah, I notice others have also thought they've been hallucinating. Awesome avatar!
And I LOVE dwarfs. They're awesome.

[Grimbold']

Hallucination! :O Though an awsome avatar mate!!
