Func_Msgboard: Other Creative Mediums Besides Mapping

Posted by Tronyn on 2007/02/15 03:16:30

This thread is based on such an incredibly obvious premise that I'm sure it's been done somewhere else already. Never the less, I'm not aware of that, so here goes.

Obviously the majority of us here are creative people, so this would be where (pretentious sentence follows:) we could discuss our forays into non-mapping artistic endeavours. In English: discuss your creations in terms of artwork, music, writing, dance routines, ice sculpturing, and miming. Nevermind those last three.

I used to draw a lot but I haven't finished anything in years. Now I just sketch stuff. I do however, occasionally finish a short story (dunno if anyone read "Example to the Men" that I posted on my site). I am getting close to finishing another one which is why I got the idea for this thread.

Ibanez are a really good make - my dad owns a music shop; selling instruments. Your best bet (than) is to buy a chinese mass manufactured version (around 40 quid) to start with then if you find yourself playing it alot upgrade to something nicer.

This one is acoustic-electric, so you can plug it in - and use effects even if you want. But of course you won't get the sustain of an electric usually. I have a '97 Strat as well - but acoustics are more inspiring for me - even backwards (righ-thanded) ones - I come up with more ideas.

talkin' the talk.

but lets see some hyperlinks to the goods! I know you all have some sweet pics to share.

I'm hoping to get a hold of some of some photos of my tat work to share soon, but in the mean time, here is something I did screwing around with The Gimp.

A dodge'n'burn painting. I've always liked the photo ever since I saw it in a Playboy as a wee lad, so I made an Alpha overlay, sketched an outline and then discarded the photo. It is all dodge, burn, and the other right ckick options you normaly get with the paint tool if it were Photoshop, and a mouse. I use to own a wacom but I gave it away to an artist hungrier than I am, but I realy don't need one.

There are a shit load of things I could do to touch it up, but it was just an excersize I did to test out The Gimp, so it is as is.

Try Guitars In Your Pricerange

Then buy something that feels good to play on and has a sound you like.

thanks for the advice "than:" :)

I might just get a cheap electric guitar for now so I can practise without pissing people off because I am shit.

I've resisted the urge to change "mediums" to "media."

That is all.

What's Wrong With Mediums...

It's one of the two plurals of 'medium', and medium means, "a means of conveying ideas or information".

Or was the original post talking about creative persons communicating with the dead?
