I'm no da Vinci, but... [Archive] - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I predict that this will put the How Do You Imagine Other BDers? thread and the photo page out of business! (Wait, maybe I should have said so in The Future of the Downs... :p )

The other night I was bored and doodling little pictures, and I decided to cartoonize some Downers while poking a little fun at the comings and goings on the fora. Warning: they're quite silly, and hardly great feats of artistry.

1. Lalwende is dating WHO? (http://www.deviantart.com/view/22146313/)

2. Davem tells them off once and for all... (http://www.deviantart.com/view/22146440/)

3. Saucie provides group therapy for The Hobbit characters... (http://www.deviantart.com/view/22146747/)

More to come in the future... Anyone else want to have a go at it?

You have to see these, folks!

And Enca has captured davem's eyebrows perfectly - they do point up just like that when he's arguing! :p

That's just brilliant, Enca. You'll be the first official Barrowdowns illustrator. :D

Hehe! Davem is just how I imagine him when crossing swords with him in some of the more "contentious" threads ... :D

And the likeness of me is incredible - well, it would be were you to go back some 15 years. :(

Loving your work, Enca. Looking forward to seeing some more. :)

Bêthberry

08-25-2005, 07:24 AM

And here I thought this would be some kind of religious mystery or conspiracy thread! I would never have guessed something along the lines of a Downs anime. ;)

Superb,Encaitare! Although I have never thought that SpM and davem had similar hair styles.

:cool: and, even, :smokin:

08-25-2005, 01:18 PM

I especially like that Davem is wearing flares!

Hah, my cartoon men have only a couple of different hairstyles since I'm not very good with short hair.

I especially like that Davem is wearing flares!

I'll bet he was a hippie back in the day... :D

Thanks for all the nice comments, everyone... next up is Esty!

As we chatted on deviantart, Encai, I got up to no good and doodled two images tonight. I'll put them up once I'm at school (it'll be a week or so) but I've currently got a HerenIstarion and... a surprise. I really like the Heren one. The second requires fine-tuning.

And did anybody ever realize how much like a demented goose storks end up looking come midnight? Not that that has to do with anything... ;)

Oh Enca these are fantastic! The Saucie group therapy one is a work of genius it truly is!

08-28-2005, 11:26 AM

I just noticed your hilarious comments underneath the pics.

I picture [Lal] as a hobbit, and therefore have made her one, albeit a remarkably tall hobbit. Or maybe he's a really short Dunlending.Perhaps a little of both?

I didn't misspell "Legendarium" by the way; I just realized it looks like I did... my M just kinda ran into an N-ish sort of character...No worries, I didn't notice anyway.

Oh, canonicity. Wars have begun over it.Not... really...

Shrek looks more like an alien than an ogreWho says aliens aren't ogres? Or ogres aren't aliens? Or they don't cross breed...?

Her favorite dead Victorian gay couple, AKA Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas.I don't think there's that many to choose from, you know. :p And that's not entirely accurate, but I'll leave it for now.

Oh, these are great. I actually came on this thread because I thought it was a Da Vince's Code thing...pleasantly suprised.

An A+ from me.

08-28-2005, 02:54 PM

Welcome, Bergilbut are you referring to da vinci as an artist or a predictorShe was referring to him being an artist.

I also originally thought she had discovered some hidden code in the LotR. It's amazing how much that book has influenced people... Da Vinci is no longer an artist in people's minds, but a codemaker.

To be honest that didn't occur to me until I read that sentence! I'd seen the thread and noted that Enca had started it and since we all know she's an artist I figured it would have some link to the artist. I only think of the book if the full title is there.

Oh and Enca what's next?

I believe I read the first chapter for a project at school or something, it didn't interest me much so I changed to a different subject. :rolleyes: But know I'm glad I had read that far. :p

;) To stay on topic I will repeat myself: Love the pics Enca!

08-28-2005, 05:07 PM

Oh and Enca what's next?What's next is that I got impatient. Instead of waiting to set up my scanner, I pulled out my camera and took shots of the four pics I did. Guess who they are.

The second is Fordim.

And the second, of course, is right.

Did the kilt give it away? :p

Hey, this one (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/22289347/)finished uploading. Not an actual member, I'll admit, but a current joke. If the black cloak does't give it away entirely, the label on the stork's bundle should.

EDIT: Here we go! (http://photobucket.com/albums/b109/TGWBS/?action=view&current=wilwarin.jpg) Sorry, that's the largest image I could get free... it was originally bigger. And I can't use my gigantic scanner, so I had to do it in paint.

P.s: Don't take that seriously Wilwa. Please don't hurt me! :eek:

Don't be discouraged by lack of scanners! Anybody can create something of abysmal quality on paint (I did) and www.photobucket.com offers free (albeit with limited space) image hosting. Everybody can join in. :D

Plus, with all our low quality paint-produced artwork, we'll make Enca and Fea look even better.

Hey, tgwbs, how come we never have stuff like those while learning Quenya? :p

I absolutely love Fea's werewolf-in-a-kilt; it makes me feel so angry all over again! It lacks the eyeliner, though.

(Oh boy, I won't imagine Eomer in any other way ever again... :D )

Hey, tgwbs, how come we never have stuff like those while learning Quenya?Well, it's kinda hard to illustrate a language, but feel free to do so if you wish; it's your learning experience.

Encaitare, I'm currently working on a portrait of yourself and was wondering what you would like more: Those wonderfully poofy jester pants in black and green, or just a skirt ( you chose the colour). I'm in a state of indecision, and I need help.

Speaking of Estel's pics, did you have a fight with Eowyn ( ;) ) again, huh, Eomer? That's a nasty black eye you have there. :p

Loving them, Estel. Very brilliant.

Speaking of Estel's pics, did you have a fight with Eowyn again, huh, Eomer? That's a nasty black eye you have there. :p

Of course that was made in 'mirth' (note the :p), but I guess I should say for those who haven't been paying attention to the new photo page that the "black eye" is homage to the eyeliner that Eomer has around his left eye in his real picture. edit: I should note that Lhuna suggested it to Eomer (sort've) so she also gets credit for inspiring me. ;)

Lhunardawen

One of the Mighty and Wighty Wight (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v58/Oddwen/barrowwight.jpg), and a few unsuspecting victims.

One of the phantom (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v58/Oddwen/thephantom.jpg). I'm not too pleased with the way SpM turned out, and boy I hate drawing feet. But I like the rest of it.

Another (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v58/Oddwen/thephantom2.jpg) of the phantom. (Aw, he's so fun to draw.) I don't know who the other two people are.

Enjoy. :D

Here I've got one of Estel (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v58/Oddwen/torestel.jpg). I was going to have him read the Real Estate section, but it didn't work out that way. (Yes, he's eating what you think he's eating.)

Eomer of the Rohirrim

09-08-2005, 12:50 PM

I love the picture Fea. If you're interested, the sig is taken from a song called Bucket of Butterflies by Modey Lemon. The lyrics also include references to jumping beans, psychics, larvae, and the Queen of the Elves. Could make a really interesting picture out of that stramash. :D

TORE, please enlighten me on that last pic. I like it, but am still clueless.

I have drawn a celtic knot that reminds me of a BDer. I'll post it as soon as I get a better version drawn and I can take a picture of it. (I don't have a scanner, so advance apologies for the possible fuzziness.)

Edit: Here's the knot. (http://ita.wisc.edu/currentstudents/2007/jilana/Images/BDknot.jpg) I touched it up a bit in Photoshop, since it came out fuzzy and with the colors very off when I took a picture of it, but unfortunately the writing is a bit weird and the color is still sort of wrong. See if you can guess who it reminded me of. (The color is a hint.)

Wilwarin! :)

It's wonderful how symbols can make you think of so many things based upon simple shapes and memorable colours. Very good knot, I've had to keep a distance from drawing them, since one side always seems to be lopsided and nothing matches up the the other end... Yours is very skilled.

09-10-2005, 09:24 AM

I'm glad you like it! I was a bit worried that nobody would get it, since when I showed it to my brother he couldn't figure it out at all.

Ka, the reason it came out so well is because I draw them on a grid. I learned how to do them when I got this book (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1861081154/qid=1126365540/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/104-6658386-4653507?v=glance&s=books&n=507846) out from the library last summer. I started out just making the ones in the book, and then started designing my own about 6 or 7 months ago. In fact, I'm in the process of designing a pendant with a similar knot on it for my jewelry making class, but that's another story...

I particularly liked the Eomer one. Verily do I mourn the loss of that Avatar. :( The Fordim one was also nice though.

Good drawings, I only wish I was quasi-artistic.

Strange that you were the first to 'notice' this, Fea...:p

Which reminds me of another drawing I'm, er, working on right now.

By the way, just to clear things up, that is supposed to be Brad Pitt, not phantom. The title 'Pitt, Bloom, or Wormtounge' gives it away. ;)

Although, I seem to remember Celebuial saying this of tp:

Does anyone else think that The Phantom look's a bit like Brad Pitt?

So I guess I drew Pitt well enought that people, er...thought he was phantom. :D (<--it's late, if that makes no sense you now know why)

:eek: Exactly how I imagine Enca... That's just cool. I wonder if she looks at all like we both imagine her. In any case, superb drawing skills.

According to Fea, there should be green in there somewhere, but my computer has decided to rebel against the notions of green and red. It still looks wonderful, and I love the reflection on her skin. I'll have to view it again from a school colour, which is rather more lenient about allowing me to view colours.

Oddwen

10-02-2005, 03:46 PM

Sorry if it was a secret, KA. I think you mentioned it to Enca on the BD'ers Picture Page and that's where I first heard about it...in fact, you might have mentioned it on this thread. Hey, you did (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=410371&postcount=51)! Anyway, sorry for ruining your life and all. ;)

Back on topic - very great pic KA. :D

And even more back on topic: I drew this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v58/Oddwen/SpM.jpg) last night. It's a better Saucie than my previous. I was going to have a crowd of off-topic 'Downers beneath him, but I couldn't think of any faces.

Don't be so modest Oddwen, you can put me in there. We all know how late I come into the chat-squirrel conversation, and end up with all my precious paint brushes snapped in two by the furry of the pan-man. None the less, it does help get the thread along.

Wonderful graphics though, I admire artists who can work wonders with the computer... It's much better, because it gives SpM a more angle of fear and threat. Like those staues of Zeus with thunderbolts from the Hellenistic Period.

Yes, you are right that I did give some away... I couldn't help it. I ran into a creative slump and my brother ate the last poppy seed muffin in the house. I need my muffins.

Well...I finished up a "black sharpie drawing" I was doing awhile ago of the BDers (as they're represented on here at least) who participated in the original WW game.

But since my primary go-between (deviantart) is mostly unaccessible to me at the moment, I don't know whether I should just put the pictures of it up here (Crazy Caption style :p) or wait until I get access to deviantart.

Any ideas?

Actually that was the original plan but it took longer than I thought - I didn't take into account that when you get about halfway through everything takes 3xs as long because you don't want to mess up and have to do everyone over again. I might go on with them but...I haven't decided yet. At any rate I know I'll never catch up to the games at the rate they're going! :eek:

I'm with Kath here, Estel...why not do one for VII?

Now there's an idea. ;)

Saucie looks slightly like the head elf from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

"You want to be a Werewolf!? Herrrbieeeeeee!"

Haha! Yeah, Sauce turned out rather...unlike his [old] avatar. I was working off of a zoomed up (ie: slightly blurry) image from Crombie's awesome Periodic Table & didn't ask Sauce if he had a larger image until I had to do his garb. Then I realized how off some of the rest of the details were.

mormegil looks so awesome
Mormegil was a pain!! I was trying to do everybody with as little shading/detail as possible (because with a sharpie it's practically either no line or a line, not much in between) but with him that was impossible. Darn you Morm!!! :p

On a side note: I was thinking about making everyone black & white except do the moderator of the game (in this case, BW) in color. Ran out of space in this one, but what does everybody think about adding "Moderator: The Barrow-Wight" to the left over the 'Tol-In -Gaurhoth' & "Werewolves Win!" to the right over the 'Isle of Werewolves?'
