I don't mind if you move them.

Also Phrye, your art really is amazing.

[Phyreburnz]

Thanks, Kimi!

[Phyreburnz]

I've discovered something amazing... building solid with clay. I think I'm even more in love with ceramics than I was before. ♥

Wowsers, Phyre! That's a fantastic sculpture.

[Phyreburnz]

Thanks, Qyz!

Colour Pencil sketch of my brother, Stephen. Taking pictures of it doesn't look quite right. Seeing the sketch in person looks much better than any of the photos I've taken of it (even trying to photoshop it to make it look more like the actual drawing doesn't do it justice).

[Qyzbud]

That's a very nice sketch, Phyre; I can only imagine how much nicer the original piece looks.

I like your use of varied colours to show the highlights and shadows, and the sharp detail on the eyes, glasses and lips.

A lovely tribute.

I wanted to share some of my ink pen artwork:

Anyone need anything for a DKC fan project?

[Super Luigi!]

I don't, but well done nevertheless, dear Cody. Your art truly is detailed, mystic, and overwhelming. Well done.

[OneOf99]

Wow, that is just impressive. I love things like this because they are so full of creativity and wonder. Also, your pen skills seem to be very well developed. How long have you done things like this?

[Cody]

Thanks guys!!

I've been doing these kinds of drawings for maybe 2 years now, but I would say that playing lots of Yoshi Touch & Go (or the DS in general) has had a significant impact on my "skills" over the years.

Regarding the creativity aspect, it's funny but I don't feel like I'm creative at all. Most of the time I'm perplexed at what to add in what locations.

[OneOf99]

I'm sad that they stopped doing stuff with the touchscreen on the DS. I wish they would do more like that (like the menu in Heart Gold).

[Phyreburnz]

Okay, I can finally reveal it.... This is what was just eating away at me....
Here's the painting

good stuff!

[Cody]

How long did that take you?

[Phyreburnz]

You don't wanna know....

Honestly, though, I don't know. The ONLY time gauge that I have at all, is that it took me two hours to to the face and arms of Ryan (the guy with the bass in the center).

Time stops when you're into it... then you check the clock and it's been five hours and you swear it was five minutes.

You know Local H!?

I once played their song "Bound For The Floor" for my Wammy Radio podcast a long time ago! Damn...

[Phyreburnz]

I effing ADORE Local H. Scott gave me a hug when I gave him the painting, too!

[Super Luigi!]

Well done, dear Phyreburnz. You truly have created a wonderful masterpiece. Thank you for sharing such greatness, and I hope you continue to live a long life full of joyful health.

[Phyreburnz]

Thanks, Super Luigi! And also

[Super Luigi!]

Thank you. Good luck in your future endeavors! You shall certainly succeed!

[Cody]

I whipped up another doodle lol:

[Super Luigi!]

This is a beautiful ink rendition of the Lost World, Sir Cody. Well done.

[Cody]

Thanks, Super Luigi!

I whipped up these two: Butterfly Effect and Emotions of the Desert. I'm particularly proud of these because they were done by the same pen, which very conveniently ended up dying at the end of EotD!

Butterfly Effect


Emotions of the Desert



I'm working on DKC art now...stay tuned, all!

[Super Luigi!]

If you designed DKC games, I would definitely appreciate everything. Somehow, your art still stays true to the original trilogy, particularly DKC2. Well done, Sir Cody.

[Cody]

I would LOVE to design a DKC game; I legitimately think that being on-board something like that would get me crazy excited. It would make me pump out so much art it would make my head spin. I think I'd honestly be a pretty great asset for any Donkey Kong team.... The art I've posted is all improv and doesn't really take that long (1-3 hours depending on pen quality/whether or not I was rushing), but I know that if I sat down with a concept I can just go crazy with new DK assets.

A new DKC game.... maaaan, I would love that so much. I have been completely obessed with Donkey Kong since I was 11; singlehandedly it's had the biggest influence on me art-wise. I would definitely know what's appropriate or not appropriate for the franchise, and I would pour an absolutely endless amount of love into everything I do for it. My absolute dream game to design would be an alleged Yoshi Touch & Go II but doing a DKC would be enough to make me never care if that ended up a reality.

Pssssst.....any company who wants to make a DKC game, I will always be 100% available and interested! Even if it's graphics for a fan game, I would totally be willing!

I'm going to update this thread in the near future with DKC designs. I kind of already want to make them even if it's just for fun! I am actively working on Jungle Hijinxs on that note!

[Phyreburnz]

Ooofa doofa! I still visit from time to time! Just finished up a painting today.

It's a sort of redo of an OOOOOLLLLLDDDDD high school drawing.

New

Happy belated birthday, Kurt Cobain!

OOOOLLLLLLDDDDDDDD

Spoiler!

Not bad after doing that like.... maybe 15-16 years of improvement between the two!

[Super Luigi!]

I like both of them, but you have also improved, Phyreburnz. Well done.
