Avatar Creations 2018 - 2021

I didn´t hear from operation mindcrime yet but I wanted to leave this because I saw the thread going forward.

If I stalled your flow, don´t bother to do someones elses first if it fit´s you better currently. No hestitation because doing an avatar should be fun and not work.

Also, I still have problems with my machine and it isn´t the ram, the ssds are fine.. I doubled the ram to 64GB with completely new ram and I still run out of it. Also did a fresh install on a brand new SSD and the problem remains.

Until the new CPU&Mobo arrives, I settled on the current one. Also, I´m ears deep in preparation for the PS3 cluster I get to lend so I can wait very long.

I am sooooooo sorry for not getting back with you guys!!!

You see December kind of got me by surprise this year and where normal people celebrate Christmas at the end of December with presents, we have a tradition that is celebrated on the 5th of December with a similar guy as Santa.

Now this was the first year all of my kids were aware that I was "Santa" all these years and it is kind of traditional that instead of presents under the tree, you buy a small gift for somebody in your family who's name you have picked and wrap it in such a way that it's fits with the personality or interest of the person whom the present is for...

I got so caught up in arts and crafts that I forgot all about making avatars.

Got some pictures of the end result to give you an idea...



Anyway...never really was content with always having to rip other people's work with Photoshop I asked some drawing essentials for my present and since two weeks now I have been drawing my *** off. I've never drawn in my life but I am really enjoying my new found hobby...



As soon as I can drag myself away from my pencils I'll start on all the requests but I hope I can fill that order before Christmas..

Anyway...still alive and kicking.

Peace

Real life is always more important than internet life.
Such amazing works!
So, you celebrate St. Nicholas Day? Cool!

Thank you for the kind words!!

I hope that I can develop my skills to such a level that it will allow me to create really unique avatars.

Glad you're doing well and hope you have Happy Holidays and New Year (and every day after!) Those drawings are awesome and I'd love to wait for an Original Operation Mindcrime Avatar! Cartoon Pooches would be awesome and/or hysterical I have a new husky pic where she's sticking her tongue out I can post whenever you get back into doing the avatars too! It's really cute lol!

I'm currently restricting myself to drawing human faces but at some point I would love to be able to draw animals correctly.

It would be an honor if I could use your new picture as practise material so please post it.

Peace

Working on outlining a pencil drawing...

And a happy happy new year to you all, apologies for my absence but rest assured that I have started to learn the process of becoming a father to my estranged children. May the new year bring you all blessings, love, laughter and joy.

I have been drawing my ass off the last month but I finally started moving toward realistic animals..



Working on my own two doggies still but yours are next!! Lol

If it turn out half decent I'll post 'm...

Peace

Hope I'm not cluttering this thread with my stuff but since it is still pretty quiet in here I'll be happy to take you along on my little adventure...

Today I found out that color theory in Photoshop is so much more easy than trying it with pencils..



I thought I knew how to blend but this is next level stuff...pfff

Peace
