Angelus-Mortis' Art Thread

That is some of the best stuff I have ever seen o_o

I am mightly impressed
 
I'm now finished this Castlevania piece.

The idea is that you can hang this poster or wallpaper on your computer desktop any side up you want. The neat part of it is, however, if you read the words upside-down from left to right, it's the same as the words that aren't upside-down. Most Castlevania fans already know about this anagram.

But what's even cooler about this is the fact that SOTN has an inverted castle which is the upside-down version of the original castle--you can draw lots of parallels with this picture in the same way too.

I think that's one of the symbolic things I liked most about Castlevania SOTN.

Okay, I'm a total geek for posting this, but...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v405/btl/Princeps_Mathematicorum.jpg

The Latin title means "Prince of Mathematicians", although I've heard it as "Prince of Mathematics", so I'm not sure which one it is. If it were the latter though, I think it would be "Princeps Mathematicarum" instead.

I realize this isn't entirely much like all the other stuff I draw, and the subject matter is certainly not the most attractive (I know lots of you dislike, and even hate math)--however, I will say it's the best portrait of real life people I've done so far. Ever. For those less mathematically inclined, this is a portrait of one of the three most well known mathematicians in history, Carl Fredrich Gauss. I won't go into the full details of his biography and write a lengthy essay about it, but in a nutshell, he was a genius, and child prodigy. After reading about his contributions to mathematics and a lengthy (70 pages!) biography about him, I was compelled to draw him, mostly for what he has contributed, but also for the fact that he doesn't discriminate against women, so long as they're proficient at math--in fact, he probably had several pupils and students (mostly male) that didn't meet his standards. Although it's probably not fair to compare someone like Sophie Germain to them. I also admit that I was touched by his humbleness and devotion to mathematics; for he did not want fame or money; he did math because he enjoyed it, and wasn't exactly rich for his entire life, even though he was around people that could afford giving him such luxuries, and his fame was so great that one might have expected him to be rich. I admire people who operate like this.

For those who actually care, the equations in the background are contributions from Gauss, although he's probably made a lot more than that; I just didn't have a way to transform all of the theorems, proofs and other ideas into formulae. You'll also notice that some of them are things taken directly from his math journal that he kept, although most of it is supposed to be incomprehensible to people who have little knowledge of advanced mathematics. I admit I'm not as well versed in mathematics as some people (hey, I'm not a genius), so I don't actually use or understand some of the equations, and were only included to acknowledge what Gauss did. The Latin words in the background are parts taken from his Disquisitiones Arithmeticae, Inquiry of Arithmetics (I knew Latin was good for something), which contains quite a bit of the foundations of number theory that we use today. It's also one of the few things he did get published.

I also admit that I used a painting of Christian Albrecht Jensen's version of Gauss' portrait as reference. It's a really nice piece.

I'm also quite glad I drew this, because the Disquisitiones Arithmeticae and the title, "Prince of Mathematics" appeared on a math history test I was taking, and because I used part of it in this piece, I recognized that Gauss wrote it. If I hadn't drawn this piece, I might not have known that.

I've also just realized this piece contains my three most favorite things: art, Latin and math.
 
Okay, so I'm terrible for doing this, as you can see from the title, and there might have been a better reason to draw this than wanting to see another half-naked Sephiroth, or wanting Sephiroth to have a slightly different look, although we've probably already seen enough Sephiroth costume designs that involve black jeans or black leather, or wanting to see Sephiroth with tattoos. Actually though, I drew it because I've never drawn Sephiroth like this before.

Wow Angelus! O_O You're amazing! Have you ever considered doing commissions or publishing your work?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>
 
I admit I'm not exactly a professional artist or anything, nor am I planning to build a career around it; art is just an activity I spend lots of time on and enjoy; a hobby if you will, although I would be interested in having my stuff published or having commissions if people are interested. I just don't know how I'd get it published though.

Okay, a sketch dump.

This was from staying over for Christmas away from my computer, so I brought my sketchbook with me. I drew loads of pictures, so you'll probably enjoy this for awhile.

Now those are really awesome! I love how you drew FuSoYa's eyebrows and Saitou's hair. That's crazy. Reminds me of a cross between Metal Gear Solid and Peanuts art-style. xD I said Peanuts because Saitou's hair made me think of Linus.
 
Yes, I realize it's been forever since I drew anything, but I've been busy, and haven't had the time to do so.

But actually, I think it's those CG's that take up the most time, so I'm going to just keep drawing short and quick graphite sketches so that I don't forget how to draw. It does bother me.

So here's a graphite of Kuja.

That's a very good-looking Kuja there. And yes, kinda reminds me of Sephiroth.
 
I don't know about all that but that picture is hard. Big bro knows how to hitem up.
