Description
September 8, 2006 - Papercut_Dragon
Concept art for my art class. I'm doin' five pieces on my sister marrying her Playstation controller; this is number one.

Pulled an all-nighter painting this. I was sooo tired the next day (and I had a Spanish test, which was thankfully extremely easy. Or maybe it just seemed easy . . . ).

[Edit: It just seemed easy. Whoops :P ]

There should be more to say about this . . . oh! That's my shirt, but my sister don't have any white clothes (wedding and all that), so she borrowed it.

Acrylic on luwan (18x24), time is one night plus some other random amount of hours to draw it out and paint the underpainting.

[My sister would like you to know that she's not actually glued to the TV and Playstation. She has way too much homework for that. But, she does play a lot. =D ]

Link to the second piece, The Breakfast Game: http://www.fanart-central.net/pic-501713.html

wow, you paint so wonderfully, and on the second one, i don't think you draw spoons, cereal, or plates and/or bowls half bad : ) if it makes you feel better, i can just barely draw hands, much less a spoon or cereal... -__-

Painting that spoon drove me up the wall. On the other hand, I can draw PS2 controllers really well!


Thanks! :)

Cool to see videogames depicted in this media. I love the concept, it's funny and you've put gravity in it with the way you painted it(don't ask me how! ^^; that's as close as I get to describing it). The light in this is beautiful. Favourite.

Español es muy dificil, sí. ^^; Mi professora rara vez habla en inglés, y yo no entiendo much cuando ella habla en español. Y mi vocabulario . . . lol. Chicos de cinco años saben más palabras que mi.

Jaja . . . ¿entiendes? My grammar isn't that great, either. =^_^=

I'll be getting the third one . . . several years after it comes out, when the price is down to a reasonable $200. O_o

BadArtist
Sep 12, 2006 05:03 AM by: BadArtist
that almost as odd as Silverscales' drawing of the letter R..well, you did a good job! but why Playstation? why not the Wii? or gamecube? i like Sony and Nintendo, nintendo is just better:P
 
Papercut_Dragon
Sep 12, 2006 02:18 PM by: Papercut_Dragon
Thanks! And, well, there's several reasons. One is that in my mind, the Playstation one is more universally recognizeable than anything. The second is that it's blackish and makes for better contrast and ties in better with the background. And the third (and main) reason is that PS is the one she plays the most (we have a GameCube but we only have Link and Mario Smash Bros and one controller, 'cause we're cheap ^^;). So there you have it.

. . . Is that a swastica??

its so beautiful! i hope i can paint like this one day (i will need to be able to, i am doing art GCSE) as someone else said it is nice to see something other than anime on here. nice idea.^^
 
Papercut_Dragon
Sep 11, 2006 08:26 PM by: Papercut_Dragon
Thanks! ^_^ See if you can take some classes or something - usually local communitiy colleges offer art classes for cheap.

And . . . what's GCSE art? ^^;
 
Neawolf
Sep 12, 2006 01:19 PM by: Neawolf
GCSE's..put it this way...they are stinky hard exams that are very important as they decide which Univercity you go to...but i cant be bothered with them yet (give it a couple of months, then i will be panicking)
 
Papercut_Dragon
Sep 13, 2006 05:49 PM by: Papercut_Dragon
I just have to take an SAT. O_o

Well, when you do take them, good luck!
 
Neawolf
Sep 13, 2006 05:53 PM by: Neawolf
thank you very much ^^ i'm sure i will need it. Good luck with any other exams you may have/art, coz your art is really cool!
 
JFH
Sep 11, 2006 01:56 PM by: JFH
Aha, GCSE art is easy. You can paint at a far lower standard than that and do well.

And I don't think I mentioned it in my last comment, but I do very much like the shading on the shirt. It looks fantastic.
 
Neawolf
Sep 11, 2006 01:59 PM by: Neawolf
ha i'm not finding it easy! i hate it actually. well anyways its a standard i would like to reach.

"I'm doin' five pieces on my sister marrying her Playstation controller; this is number one."

Interesting, that wasn't the impression I got when I looked at the picture originally. To me, it seemed more like the woman had taken the controller away from her partner because she wanted to spend some 'fun' time with him. The long flowing blonde hair, and the rough white shirt doesn't seem very bridal.
 
Papercut_Dragon
Sep 11, 2006 08:21 PM by: Papercut_Dragon
"Fun time" :P

You know, you're the second person who has said that (either someone on dA or at my school, which is incidently also known as DA), and I can see where that's coming from. This piece might make more sense once it's with the other four, which I'm planning right now to be her eating breakfast with it, seeing it off to work, in bed with it (but keepin' it G, here ^^) and maybe one where they're walking on the beach, or the controller's dead and she's mourning it . . . not sure about that last one yet.

Thanks for the other interpretation. :)

Oh wow thats awesome and very clever! As a few other people have said I love the looping around the finger to make it look like rings. Lovely detail on the controller.
 
jhonenfreak
Sep 11, 2006 07:42 PM by: jhonenfreak
The cross between photo realism and visable brush strokes makes this a very interesting and beautiful piece. You are a very talented painter. :)
 
jhonenfreak
Sep 11, 2006 07:43 PM by: jhonenfreak
Oh! And I forgot to mention how awesome the looping of the cord around the finger is! Wedding bands! XD
 
Papercut_Dragon
Sep 11, 2006 08:29 PM by: Papercut_Dragon
Not many people mention that, actually. ^_^ Even though that's supposed to be the main clue. Glad you got that. :P

And, thanks!
