MARKLIN's Artwork thread

[Marklin80]

Hi, i noticed that everybody is showcasing all of their sigs and other artwork and i thought that it would be a shame to let all my artwork just lie around on my hard drive. So therefore i now open Marklin's first official artwork dump.

All pictures are in order of creation, with the newest first.
WARNING A lot of pictures, people with slow internet may need to be cautious...

This is my photoshop version of the cat drawing i've also posted, i made it using a tablet i borrowed.
A new photoshop painting made using the tablet, this time starring a hairy dragon and his dragon orb!

Sigs:
[spoiler]

Another animated sig, but this one turned out really well. I wanted to capture a helghast propaganda feel and i think i managed that pretty well. =)

This is my first attempt at an animated signature, as you can see it doesn't run that smoothly .

My sig of the week round 11 entry, and I'm really satisfied with this one, it looks much better than i hoped it would. When i started creating it i thought of it more as a desperate attempt to get an entry into the latest sig of the week round...
Edit: 1st place in the sig of the week contest!


These are two Ratchet and clank signatures i made for Uzman

A WATCHMEN sig i made for walter kovacs

My Sig of the week round 10 entry, with the theme technology.
Edit: It came to 2 Place!


Jay, my first sprite sig! It doesn't even look remotely as good as some i've seen but i still think it's pretty good for being my first try.

Sig of the week entry 2, version 2

My second sig of the week round 9 entry.

My war themed sig of the week round 9 entry. Took around 4 hours to make and had almost a 100 layers when i was finished... I merge them way to seldom.
Edit: it came on second place!

A warhammer orc, or greenskin as they also are called. It's filled with different effects and renders which can make it pretty hard to discern the render but otherwise i'm pretty satified with it.

This beauty(?) was at first supposed to be a background for a sig i wanted to draw (with my mouse) in photoshop. but the drawing turned out horrible and only the background clouds looked somewhat good, after deleting the front layers and adding several weird blending options, filters smudges stamps and so on, i got this...


Basically it's made through smudging some C4D renders and then adding some lines and some stars, basically...

Different versions of this signature:

[/spoiler]

C4D renders and then lots of different effects added to that, and of course i added some lines with dots on them after that.

Clan tag made for the Killzone clan on the forum.

Splatter!



My first sig! Made the renders myself, i took a screenshot, cut the sackboy out, made it black, cut those cool holes out of it and added some creepy sackghast eyes.

Avatars:

Both made singlehandedly from scratch by me, no renders or stock .

Drawings:
[spoiler]

"Drawing hands" inspired by Eschers work with the same name. But here the hands are on a wacom tablet instead of paper . The right (lower) hand is supposed to look like that, it's a very weird way to hold a pen but that's how Escher drew it in the original.

This one got totally ruined by the scanner , it's not supposed to be that dark and you were able to see the right eye... BTW that's our cute little cat.

My cat again, this is my favorite of all the drawing i've made.

At the summer house my grandparents own.


My cat again! this was my first attempt at drawing her so it looks pretty weird in some places.


Made in art class, that's not me who's portrayed.

a bat, it's supposed to be upside down, it's the text that's wrong...

parrot.

A bloodthirsty vulture.


This is the head of a trolloc, which is one of the many wicked creatures the dark one has at his disposal... Fan art i based of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, the second best fantasy series there is (LOTR is slightly better).

An Arrakoa, from when i played wow a long time ago..

Any feedback or constructive criticism is very appreciated!

Those are really, really good! My favourite one is the Green Skin, you really need to make a tutorial for that. Actually..... my favourite one is the Blue Chaos because there are some really amazing effects on it. Actually........ Abstract Nebula is pretty awesome. In fact...... I love Abstract Green.

Well, they are all amazing well done. Apart from the bottom one mainly because I don't like fractal effects. Also, I'd put a bit of space in-between them so they are all fully visible.

[Marklin80]

Make a TuToRiAl! I!? I don't really consider myself experienced enough to do that, i mostly look around at other peoples tutorials and steal ideas from them... or i just go crazy and add lots of random effects i don't remember afterward...

[Killian]

Really good sigs you have there.

My favorite:

I've updated the thread with a lot of new drawings and with my newest sig, It's a sig of the week entry with a war theme, hope you like it, i would really appreciate any feedback you can give me on that one!

[olit123]

Awesome drawings man, you have some awesome skills. I also really like that war signature, make sure you upload it to the gallery.

[Marklin80]

THANKS! i had no idea that you needed to upload it to a gallery , if it hadn't been for you then i'd probably have forgot it completely .

[olit123]

No problem.

[LuckyShot]

Heh, yeah I was looking for it a little while ago in the gallery and didn't see it - I came here to tell him the same thing.

[Marklin80]

Updated with my second sig of the week entry, though i don't know which one of the two versions i'll upload to the gallery

Edit: chose the one on the wall.
