    Oh... wow! Heh...
    After I typed in the Art as an Artform, not as an Application... those three capital A's just threw my eyes into typing it - no other reason.
    Sorry about that. Just I erase that part? Probably... I will.
    But first, here's some pics from folks that have been painting with some version or another with Dogwaffle:

    That is pretty cool Holly, although not my sort of thing. I am very conventional in my taste in art. You may be able to see where I get inspiration from with this image, or part of it anyway. I was on an environmental kick when I did it

    This is your's Chohole? It's so pretty, and my husband loved it (he said "let's go!"). Needless to say he never says that about my art. LOL!

    Reminds me of the Hudson River artists like Frederic Church.... His landscapes were the blockbuster movies of their day. People lined up and paid a lot of money to see them, sitting in chairs while the curtain opened to reveal these huge paintings.... He imported exotic plants to add atmosphere to the room...

    I really like this painting as well. Just beautiful. Looking at it again, after Holly's post above, and I totally agree with her husband... I want to go there!
    Would it be okay to copy it and post it in a thread so it's visible?

    Well it is in a thread already, but as it was in the Bryce forum, I just put the link. :coolsmile:

    It's in the Render thread in the Bryce forum, which is on it's 3rd reiteration, I guess it's sort of our equivalent of this thread, except there we don't so much talk about the principles of art per se, but more how to do things within our program of choice.

    As to going there, when I orginally started the image it was meant to be an area in the SE of England, called the South DOwns, but now it has been revisited and completed himself says it looks like a place at the top of our village, which is in "The Heads of the Valley" area of South East Wales, I guess quite a few peeps know the sort of area, the bit where the local "no nothings" hang out and think they are being big and clever, and refuse to see how they are spoiling an area for others.

    Why, is there a difference on this plane?

    It depends on who made the plane; Boeing or Airbus... :P (yes, my brain is in an odd place this morning)

    Dart can be blamed for my buying most of the dragon stuff (I know he has all of it). Yet, I still haven't used any of them in a scene yet. I'm not sure how I should be feeling about that ... sad ... confused ... lazy ... perhaps all of the above?

    I have a dragon scene that I wish to do as well. I've thought about it for years actually and have made attempts to draw it in pen and ink and in 3D and have never quite been successful. I've improved my skill in Carrara greatly since my last attempt, so maybe it's time to give it another go...


    P.S. Dart, I can't find it now, but I used to own a book called the Art of Dungeons and Dragons that featured D&D art of all of the in-house and major freelance artists that produced cover art and module art for TSR. I loved it! Easly's work was a major section of the book.

    Ok , finally.

    I'll bite. For anyone that cares about composition look up Andrew Loomis.

    I used to borrow his books from the library when I was in high school to learn how to draw. Found a couple of them a few years back in a couple used book stores. I always thought he was an excellent illustrator!

    I agree with bigh, Do it, man!
    Of course you know that I, too own all of those books, right? Art of Dungeons and Dragons, Art of Dragonlance Volumes... People know to buy me something dragon-related if they're at a loss for a gift idea. I have an excellent collection. The wood carved dragon sculpture my son just gave me yesterday (my birthday) is freaking cool! Todd MacFarlane's dragons are of top-notch quality as well.

    Like Holly said, however, art is much more that just loin cloths and dragons - hmmm.. but loin cloths and dragons are very cool! LOL... I'm sorry!
    Let's see some more great ideas of art.
    I've been awed by the artistic lines of buildings by Frank Lloyd Wright, of which I know two near my home. One to the North, a private home, where I've done quite a bit of landscaping and custom stone work, and another called The House on the Rock to the South. Other architects have been known to catch my eye from an artistic sense as well.
    I am really impressed by some of the people who illustrate bird watchers books.
    My good friend, Jag, who just recently passed away, was a pioneer of billboard painting around here. His huge work for "Chief Oshkosh" on the broad side of a barn, was a personal favorite as a child. He went on to become quite famous for his billboard painting and murals. Of course nowadays they use modern methods instead - which in this case is a shame. But two years before passing, he called together his pals, they call themselves: "The Road Dogs", and they went through Algoma here, and painted old-style advertisements on the sides of restored buildings and really dolled up the city. Too bad for the crappy resolution, but there's a page of it in progress On Page 22 of this Tourist Guide They're all over - and a wonder to behold. It's a true honor to have been a part of such a powerful individual's life, for me.

    Sorry Dart, House on the Rock isn't Frank Lloyd Wright, though nearby is Taliesin. Used to live down there.


    Wright and the guy that built The House on the Rock both had unique artistic visions, though the House on the Rock became kind of a garish touristy one. The House on the Rock still worth going through, just to see the original structure and some of the manufactured antiques.

    Art as an artform deserves mentioning the LEGO Architecture series. The models are mostly done by Adam Reed Tucker who considers himself an artist using LEGO bricks as his medium.

    They have done several Frank Lloyd Wright models (oddly, not Taliesin) including Fallingwater and Robie House.
