Okay guys, I'm looking into expanding my artistic ability. I want to learn to do cool stuff with markers, dammit!

Anybody got an online tutorial, or some tips for a relative newbie?

Well I had an art panel at Gathering and some folks seemed to like it...

Dear gods I think I want to get an art panel for Con*Cept, the local sci-fi/fantasy con in November...

Okay, Warren Ellis expounds on why the internet might be helpful for artists to remain artists...

I'm thinking about changing my website, as many of you are no doubt aware. The main thing I'm thinking about is either using tables or not. Opinions?

Also the colour scheme needs a change. I'm getting over the whole greens thing, thinking shades of blue, or maybe burgundy. More opinions?

I just wanted to thank those of you who took the time to reply to my little survey, the one where I asked you to check out my website and tell me which pieces of art you liked best. It helped a lot, thanks.

Okay all'a y'all, I'm trying to design something involving my own artwork, so I'm conducting a sort of a poll, and since I respect your opinions, I'm gonna ask you to do something for me. It won't take much of your time, and will be greatly appreciated.

Step One: Go to my website, Talyesin's Gallery.

Step Two: Surf around a bit, check it out.

Step Three: Come back here and let me know which three pieces you like best.

Thanks!

Interested in having an honest to goodness actual piece of my art on your wall or scrapbook? I am open to commissions! Ask me about this incredible offer!

Okay folks, I'm looking for cool sites to check out, artistic inspiration, and the like...

Hit me with your best shot!

Inspired by a friend's idea of playing a 70s-era Harry Potter game (when all their parents were kids) I came up with this image of Narcissa Black, Draco's mum...

So in an effort to increase my artistic abilities, I spent some time online looking for tutorials on Celtic knotwork. See, I love it, but I've always had a tough time with it.

Anyhow, a few hours of research later and lots of scribbled exercises on lunches and on the bus, I've broken my brain enough to do simple plaits and multicord weaves and blocked passages and doublebacks and multilayered weavings and stuff like that.

Problem is, now I'm seeing Celtic knotwork EVERYWHERE. Tiles in the floor? Knotwork. Windows in an office building? Knotwork. Computer wires zigzagging the floor? Knotwork waiting the doubleback.

Broken brain... broken brain...

*closes his eyes and sees Celtic knotwork patterns*

But at least I get it now... *GRINS*

Further in my creative mode, I have a question:

FURRY ARTISTS!! Furries: Humanoid animals or bestial humans?

Pursuant to my previous post, let it hereby be announced that, in order to feed my Get Talyesin to California for the Harry Potter Premiere Fund, I am taking art commissions. Email me at robstma (at) hotmail.com for more details!

... of a Gargoyles nature.

I'm a total newbie to the fandom, so I need some advice, concerning the characters' personalities and such, for an art project I'm working on for the Gathering. My question, and I do have one, is this:

Who would make a better Wonder Woman, Elisa or Demona, and why?

Let me know, thanks!
