Angelus-Mortis' Art Thread

Well, there's been a heckload of stuff I drew since the last time I was here, so I'll just post some highlights.

Some lineart for Hellsing. Someone else colored it and won a DD on DA. You can see his colored version here: http://dasAoD.deviantart.com/art/Symphony-of-Destruction-154728275

Professor Layton

Terranigma

Some art trade I did with someone (violent warning; it's bloody). You can see her version here: http://andreala-rae.deviantart.com/#/d2qg4id

Ganondorf from TP

And that's the avatar picture. I can't believe I forgot to post it.

Some guy I made up. Someone else on Newgrounds dubbed him the teeth samurai.

And then I got a DS with DS Colors! and made this. I'd say it was pretty good, considering it was one of my first few drawings. And no layers; it's like traditional painting.

And then someone wanted a request of a Sephiroth drawing, so I gave them something buff and unbishi like (I don't think I can quite go back to doing those...)

And someone solved the soccer tournament puzzle I had up for a week, so they requested this picture of a certain math nerd.

http://Angelus-Tenebrae.deviantart.com/art/Als-der-Vater-schlaft-176880480
And then I read FMA. Hohenheim is my favorite character.

Random demon design.

http://Angelus-Tenebrae.deviantart.com/art/2005-und-2010-177846481
An older character that I redesigned.

http://Angelus-Tenebrae.deviantart.com/art/Tief-im-Flammen-183865031
More unbishi Sephiroth.

And more of the teeth samurai. I made it for Halloween.

http://Angelus-Tenebrae.deviantart.com/art/Dante-186200861
Dante.

http://Angelus-Tenebrae.deviantart.com/art/Windsurfen-macht-mir-Spass-187719962
Some character I made up off some weird concept.

http://Angelus-Tenebrae.deviantart.com/art/Valkenhayn-R-Hellsing-192748868
A character from the game BlazBlue. My friend is obsessed with him.

http://Angelus-Tenebrae.deviantart.com/art/Schneeschlacht-199019911
Some orange haired character I drew some time ago. I decided to put him in a kimono.
 
I cant view it all annoyingly, I cant remember my DA login :rage:

Great stuff as ever though - of what it allowed me to view. Always loved your use of colours, your imagination for some of this shit, is just brilliant - the detail is always amazing

The only issue I ever have with your art is the faces always seem to look the same...?

Also, good to see you back :dave:
 
Thanks. I think there might be a way to get those images to show, so I'll just post them here:

I made this recently on the DS.

Here's how I did it:

*Update*

wikinger_beelzy_by_angelus_tenebrae-d3b6z4v.jpg


I was originally going to use this as an artbook entry, but since it's not happening, I'd consider it safe to post it now.

Here's my interpretation of Beelzy in a Viking costume.
 
What I really find astonishing in your work is the amount detail and dedication you put in each piece. But of all of them, my favourites will and will always be the mathematics/history themed ones. Not only do they are exquisite pieces of art, but they also somehow manage to catch the essence of the mathematician being portrayed, especially in the Princeps Mathematicorum which was about Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss.

Coincidently, I stumbled across your livejournal while browsing for Gauss images and found highly interesting topic. It was the Anniversarius Dedicatio Duocentesimus Tricesimus Primus Carolo Frederico Gauss, submitted in April 2008.

I thought of printing the "challenge" section you added to attempt to solve it during my free time. Right now I am taking the Discrete Structures course (math proofs, all that stuff...) and thought it was an interesting class but the professor shares his knowledge which such a great enthusiasm [sarcasm], the class has become monotonous and boring.

A shame, proofs are usually supposed to be fun, not a torture based on routine and lack of enthusiasm.

Something I find unfortunate nowadays is that the origins of most of the math theorems, applications and techniques we use daily are rarely, if ever, discussed, and if such mention is made, the depth of such exploration of these historical figures is discussed very superficially. Sure, most students don't actually care how the formula works as long as it works, but sometimes the world of mathematics is much more than a bunch of numbers, letters and symbols that are arranged in an specific order for the purpose of describing an idea, movement, force or scientific concept.

If we add the most probable fact that most professors aren't that interested in venturing into such topics either, most of the courses in mathematics can be described as "do this, put this here, do this process, and get a result" without putting much thought in the "why".

Anyhow, back to topic, about the similarity of the faces. Well every artist has a style, the same can be said about the artists who draw anime. Actually most characters in anime are quite similar aside from a few exaggerated attributes.

Wish I had that amount of dedication. On a side note, any good Calculus books or any other historical material you could recommend? I am actually book-hunting for my math-collection.
 
Sorry for the late reply; I was away for awhile.

I agree that people only seem to be superficially interested in math, while there's a whole entire level of interesting stuff underneath the proofs. But it's not for everyone. And it's not represented in the right way to everyone. Who gets to be the first person to tell you what math is all about? It's probably your grade school teacher, and they're not always the best people to be doing it because they sometimes don't do a good job of it, or have no passion for it themselves as well.

If you take higher level math classes in university, you will often find that the material is less about "do this, do that..." but more about how would you solve this? Sure, the TA's will give you help to push you in the right direction, but if they're doing their jobs, they rarely ever tell you the answer, and you often learn to figure out how to use the concepts that are taught in class rather than the professor telling you how to do something. And these are classes where midterms are 3 hours long. They give you all this time because you have to sit there thinking about how you are going to solve a problem. Even though there are only 5 problems. That's some real advanced math there. But it's beautiful at the same time, and the epiphany you get for solving them is tremendous. One can only imagine what it's like to prove a theorem that's never been proven before.

I hope I am not too late for recommending calculus books, but I recommend the Calculus textbook by Salas: http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Ca...-and-Student-Survey-Set/Salas/e/9780471694298
It does a pretty good job of explaining basic concepts, and it contains a lot of information about calculus. If you're looking for multivariable calculus, I think they have one too, but I haven't used it yet. I presume it's probably just as good though.

This is a pretty good math text on advanced math concepts in general: http://www.amazon.com/Mathematics-Elementary-Approach-Ideas-Methods/dp/0195105192

For math history, I would recommend the stuff by William Dunham, particularly Journey Through Genius: The Great Theorems of Mathematics.

I also recommend Flatland by Abbott. It's a satirical look at the different dimensions with which we deal with numbers, and it's also a satire on Victorian society. There have also been two films made off of it. I personally prefer this one: http://www.flatlandthemovie.com/

Anyways, I threw up this sketch. It's based on the Black Mages version of Dancing Mad.

I think I am going to prefer his mouth not to be as big as the Joker's as it was in Dissidia. Sure, the Joker and Kefka are rather similar, but Kefka is still unique in his own way and I wanted that to be obvious in this piece.

I kind of did this without using references, so there were a few details that are different from the way Kefka actually looks like in the various games he appears in. So I noticed that in some versions of his final form, he has makeup, and his feather is actually closer to the back of his head and probably bigger. The part I was mostly unsure about was the makeup. Personally, I'd prefer not to include it, but not including it might take away from Kefka's typical "clown" look. I guess I'm trying to decide if it would be better to keep it without the makeup to give him a more serious look since he's dying and all, or if I should just put it in because it's Kefka.
