Artistic SWFUKers Thread as requested by Michael Sith :)

[TC-14]

Kind words, Mike- I thank you. There's some back-up discs in the loft that go way back, I'll take a look up there at some point and dig out a few photos of some paintings.

I've got a heck of a lot of respect for you guys that do this for a living, I had a go at it for a couple of years a decade ago- and while being successful at the time, I didn't respond well to pressure, which was ultimately my downfall :? To be honest, I'm much happier driving a fork lift truck in my current job, and getting a regular wage to pay the mortgage (and purchase some vintage goodness) every month! Bit of a cop-out, I know... but it's been good to get back into painting just for the pleasure of it.

Ryan, I regularly visit your website and marvel at your work- any chance you could post some 'exclusives' on this thread? By the way, I love the Popeye mural- where did you do that? Looks the business

June, Tundra and TC...great stuff.

Hey June...I used to write with a Kat that used June as his name. I thought that was pretty cool. I was good with letters but not with characters. I miss those days but in my line of work....I can't.

If you guys are up for doing some work for a pin idea I have for C7 that would be awesome. Props would go to either and I would be willing to work something out per say.

Hey Michael sorry mate I missed your link, great sketches mate you certainly have a talent keep it up and post them up as you do more.

Thanks Martin, there's not to many people who can claim they've been exhibited, I certainly haven't so well done mate I'd love to see some more of your work if you can find it. I fully understand what you mean by the pressure, it gets unbearable at times especially doing commission work. Working with editors is also fun!

Thanks for the comments on the website too, the Popeye mural was from a few years ago when I was still doing airbrush work. It was in a doctors waiting room to keep the kiddies calm. Not sure too many of todays generation of kids would've even known who Popeye is :lol:

Here's some work some of which I've shown before and other stuff which is more the type of work I do on a daily basis. I do a lot of work for the transport industry here is Aus, hence the vehicles.

SW themed toons done for members on here :

This one is the Artwork for a Marquee when printed came to 12 metres long by three metres high :

Some more general toons and logo designs:

Cheers Ryan

[TC-14]

Fantastic work, Ryan- I'll bet you've got an endless amount of commissions coming in judging by the quality of the pieces you've shown here That 12 metre long marquee mural looks insane :shock: also great to see the preliminary sketch. Keep up the good work, pal :wink:

Mike, that made me laugh at loud (truly, rather than just the usual lol :lol: )... you've got a real talent. I'm going to give Andy Chazb73 a nudge, he's got to see this

 

[Michael Sith]

:lol: thought it would be funny

Not being self deprecating, just honest, there is no talent, leave that to Ryan,

Just enjoy scribbling, with a pen

Just trying to think of a character to fit Charles Hawtrey, but struggling on that, although Princess Leia came to mind :lol:

 

[chazb73]
