I have noticed there are a alot of REALLY good artists at this site. (and some good up-and-comers).
this is a "competition", per se. Really its just a submission gallery.
Show your best stuff! With artists like Lava, Kiwee, iyontheon , and many others, this could be really cool.

anything goes, a complete art free-for-all. From logos to web graphics, from 3D Models to cartoons scanned from actual paper, anything goes.

and, u dont have to make a new piece(s). Anything you have works, I guess we can vote towards the end.

You shouldn't even have to think about that g4c, you of all people should know that I only say things when I mean it (and when it's true). =)

lol. Sorry Crazyishone -- beyond the Yahoo! group, there is not a real webpage for Mite yet. One of these days, I might try adding one of those to the site for a logo though. When I *do* get a real website for Mite though, I'll certainly be using these logos. I was seriously impressed with the quality of all of those logos.

"Patience, my good citizen, patience. It's bad enough to rob a man of his dream"
-Sydney Carton, Tale of Two Cities
Soterion Studios

I have a brother and a sister who are artists (not professionaly) the brother does alot of drawings with colored pencils and the sister does more paintings, but does some drawings as well. Actually I have another sister who is a graphic artist as well, I forgot about that because she quit her career to raise her kids.
I've been drawing on an off since I was a little kid (I'm currently 30) but I have never really seriously pursued drawing so it was mostly just every once in a while sitting down and scetching. Occasionaly one of my siblings will organize an art day where we get together and do different creative stuff, whatever you feel like doing at the time. The biggest improvements in my drawing came because I learned (both through art history in college and also through tips from my brother and sister) some of the rules of perspective and proportion. I was amazed how big a difference a few little tips and tricks like that can make.

My main artistic endevour has always been painting miniatures and that helped me alot with understanding shading and highlighting which then helps with drawing too.

In the pictures I posted in here.. the first one of the two guys in red and blue was mainly just goofing around, and I was trying out a new type of colored pencil my brother had found which when used properly looks very rich and vibrant, as much as paint.
The second two pictures of the guys in black were concept drawings of the elite household soldiers for a noble family in a story I was planning. They are cavalry troopers armed with lances, a long sword, and a short sword. They would also have shields but I never got around to drawing the shield.

The drawing I can't find (I'm still looking for it) was of a knight kneeling. The knight was finished, and I was going to draw the background as if he were in a church, I started on a stained glass window behind him but didn't finish it yet. I really liked that one because the knight's helmet was off and he was looking straight ahead at you, the face was the best job I've ever done on a face, which was also why I never got around to coloring it, I was afraid I would ruin the face.

Here's my favorite artists. Most of that work is based off of them:
www.happypencil.com <- Cam De'leon. He does album art and commercial art for bands like Tool as well as sculptures for Treasure Island Casino in Vegas.
www.sonsofthestorm.com <-- The dudes behind Blizzard Entertainment's art. Someone mentioned who did World of Warcraft stuff? Well that's them. Samwise, Twincruiser, Metzen are my favorite although I havn't looked at the newest artest's work.

This one took me 8 hours or so, and the real version is 300dpi at about 12X12inches.

Now this one I did way back, and it's been used on this site for a long time. I gave Krylar permision to use them because he did a favor for me at the time.

This year I wanted to redo my .gif work and I went with the character from my book in this one. I'm sure you see a resemblence to the above one. I've always loved white hair.

Look it's a chibby version! Anyhoot, if you want to see about fifty or so more of these go to my site www.vailion.com and click on "Pictures & Art." I don't have the time to post all of them here.

It there a Windows version?

Yes there is a Windows version, I was just looking for it, I can't find it, if you can't find it I can send you it, I should still have the installer, Strata 3.5Base is just the demo anyways.

------------------

I just downloaded POV-Ray.
It has taken me a few hours to figure out how to scale, transform, and rotate correctly for the basic objects. (trial and error)
I think I have the basics down but I still don't understand phong, textures, turbulence, and other lighting specific details.
I would assume most chess pieces would be based on a spline /lathe shape.

I've played with POV-RAY and no one else has mentioned anything about it.
It could be that it is not used in the game creation realm.
So what do you all use?

That is a good guess, I actually made all of the pieces part by part. Though lathe would be a better and easier way of doing it.

Pov-Ray I have not heard of it's use in game development, but if it can export into 3ds or some other format commonly used by engines it probably can work with games.

I use Wings 3d, Blender and Strata CX. In that order of use.
