Well, here's my little art collection - not complete, but I don't have a scanner anymore so I'm guessing this is all you'll see of it (_ _) However, I will put up my Japan photos at some point when I can scan them at my Grandpa's!

Colour/Computer drawn (all drawn or coloured on the computer)

My first attempt at manga drawing (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/madmazda86/MangaCharacter.png)

Rabbit done in MS Paint (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/madmazda86/Bunnycolor.jpg)

Bilby ballerina (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/madmazda86/BenitaThinLegsFatter.jpg) (originally a book illustration)

Pingu! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/madmazda86/MeadowSnowmanPenguinFinal.jpg) (Well, it's not really Pingu, but you get the idea XD Done in MS Paint)

Black and white sketching (you may've seen some of these before, I posted them in the What's Your Talent thread :))

My black and white sketching is usually done by copying a reference picture and inventing my own scenery - I don't trace, hence proportions might be a bit odd in some.

Hamster in the woodlands (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/madmazda86/HamsterSmall.jpg)

Squirrel (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/madmazda86/SquirrelSmall.jpg)

Dragon (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/madmazda86/Dragon01.jpg) (looks a bit battered - I did it on a bit of till roll at work XD)

Wasp (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/madmazda86/Bee.jpg) (ran out of paper hence it's chopped in half!)

Rat eating apple peel (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/madmazda86/Rat.jpg) (This was my first sketch ever, I did it when I was ill and had nothing better to do ;))

Penguin (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/madmazda86/PenguinBlurred.jpg) (I blurred this a bit on photoshop as my block shading was a bit scratchy)

Police Car (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/madmazda86/Policecar11.jpg) (Part of my GCSE final exam annotation - I erased half of it as I bent the lines towards the back too much which made the car look really fat!)

Swift (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/madmazda86/swiftcroplarge.png) (Did this while I was on work experience - never sketched a bird before and the feathers were hard but I'm really pleased with the result :D)

NEW!Evie (Border Collie) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/madmazda86/Evie.jpg) (My auntie's collie - did this sketch for her for Christmas!)

Colour sketching

Ladybird (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/madmazda86/Ladybird.jpg) (This was part of my exam annotation, hence it's only been half-coloured in)

Green Bug Thing (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/madmazda86/Bug.jpg) (I like my bugs XD This was a GCSE art homework)

Fish (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/madmazda86/Firefish.jpg) (Fiery colours! Another GCSE art homework)

Shoes (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/madmazda86/Shoes.jpg) (Erm, yeah - this was part of my final exam annotation as I was doing a worm's eye view of a street pavement. Man, I got so sick of shoes by the end of it!)

RP (Harmonic Dissonance related drawings)

Clotho Setafeht, my RP character (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/madmazda86/ClothoSetafehtEyelashes.jpg) (you can also see this in my character profile, though this one's the original black and white sketch whereas the other was coloured by Spiky)

Aegis Illuvium, Zeus' RP character (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/madmazda86/Aegis.png) (can also be seen in Zeus' character profile)

Chapter 3B illustration (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/madmazda86/RPPiccyFinished.jpg) (Yoshinobu's character, Anais, is running to catch Clotho's purse, thrown by Mariscia, Chi-Chi's RP character. Clotho's trying to restrain Mariscia, while Alphonse, Al's RP character, is attempting to knock the purse out of reach using his magic flute! ;))

Illustration from mission: Caught on Camera (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/madmazda86/CaughtonCamera.png) (Clotho had a rather unfortunate encounter with an angry bull in front of the Rael Television newscrew ;))

Race illustration: Tibbar (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/madmazda86/Tibbar.jpg) (The Tibbar are a warlike race, similar to hares only more intelligent)

Race illustration: Minotaur (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/madmazda86/Minotaur.jpg) (Need I say more? I haven't put any of the other race illustrations up as I don't like those as much in terms of drawing quality, but you can find them here (http://forums.ichigos.com/index.php?showtopic=3847))

Photography

Yeah I remember commenting on your black and white pics before, a few months ago I think. Still good!

Wheeee, I got to use my Grandpa's scanner - I've just put up some of the more arty photos I took in New Zealand and Australia. Enjoy ^_^

Oooooh, soooooooo pretty pictures~!!!!! They're gorgeous Maz~!! ^_^

I can never hope to be that good. XD I'm not to talented, but you, Madmazda, are talented! *gives art award* :D

Wow you're very talented. Makes me want to show you guys the comic I made in honor of my vacation. XD But I'm too lazy... And it has my name in it and I'm paranoid about it. o.O I should scan some of my stuff. I drew a porcelain doll today. Maybe I'll scan that later. :)

Love your black and white sketching! Like Lake Wanaka 2 best. I wanna see Japan:)

Very nice pics Maz! ^_^ Lake Wanaka 2 is my personal fave :heh:

FWAH!!! maz!!! your a pretty good drawer!!! i love the animal drawings!! they are cool!
you got great technique in shading!!!
keep up the great work maz!!! ^^v

Yay, thanks for the comments, guys - New Zealand lends itself naturally to photography but I'm really proud of those shots :D Japan photos will be up as soon as I've done the travelogue to go with them ^_^

OMG!! nice photos! I especially like Lake Wanaka 2... very nicely shot :D

and you're right, I wanna visit XD

Woowoo, I added some new stuff as I have a funky new scanner :D There's some more black and white piccies up and a new colour section too! ^_^

somebody put up a fund for the girl to get stationary!!! :P Or just give her a drawing prize ;)

Heh, it's a shame I can't show you the culmination of all the GCSE annotation ~ I'll have to photograph them sometime when I have the money to process a film XD

OMG~! The green bug drawing is identical to the one that sat on my knee in Somerset, and I SCREAMED. xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Hopefully not as ferocious looking XD I'm not sure what I used as the inspiration for that one - normally I use reference drawings, as you can see on the left-hand side of the shoe drawings - but I think that green bug dude came out of my warped imagination :P The fish came from a pictorial dictionary and the police car from a photograph of one of the film cars outside The Bill studios ;)

I'm wondering what you did with the picture you drew in the misc discussion of Shadow chasing the chicken!?

I really wanna see that now! Curse you Shadow for bringing it up!

LOL, I might still have it somewhere XD

Touched up and back by popular demand:

I love your hamster sketch! its so realistic and he proportions are just right!

I have a tip on drawing people though. But im not implying that your people drawings are bad, they are very good! But try to make the people at obscure angles, not just a sige view or a frount view, and same with the feet. I will do that sometimes too, because its just a whole lot easier, but if you have the feet and body at an angle, it looks better. But im not implying your drawings are bad!

LOL, I suck at drawing people anyway XD Animals are my forte!

I wouldnt be surrprised! You animals are so realisitc.

lol Thanks maz! I missed that.

LOL, I might still have it somewhere XD

Holy shyt nice drawings, wat a cute lil squirrel lol.

Nice little collection of drawings you got here.

Wheee, finished my Swift (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/madmazda86/swiftcroplarge.png) sketch! Thanks to everyone who has given me feedback ^_^ To those who said I should do something with these sketches - I'm going to attempt to sell some signed prints at the car boot sale my family's doing tomorrow. Wish me luck! :D

This one's my favourite! =D You are an awesome artist!

wow love your MSpaint stuff :) so good :O

Nope - too poor to buy one XD Thanks for the comments! Which reminds me, I've new stuff to put up here! :D Coming up: colour sketch of my auntie's dog (when my Mum gets around to sending the scan!) and photos of my trip to the Lake District and Ireland! ^_^
