SS, what does "Vorscythe" mean anyway?

actually i believe it says "Vor sythe" anyways i tried to make another, the alien head design wasnt supposed to be there, but i noticed it looked like an alien, so i went with the flow

You tell me Mr. Vice President. Well, I made the word 'Vorscythe' from the beginning letters of the word 'Kill' in different languages, I forget how I organised them. I'm too lazy to re-jumble it. Plus, it's a kick ass name, just listen to it, Vorscythe. Yum.

A slig...

I drew all of him, but it took me so long to get to the finish, that you could steadly see my work suck.

So, I'm just showing you kids the part I'm happy with! :D

-oddguy :happy:

Wow! That's actually quite good. Be proud. :D

Good picture.Try and do a hard very detailed oddworld creature now like ummm...A gabbit?They have allot of facial detail

Not bad for a first "I don't know what I'm doing" attempt.

I glanced at a picture of my friend Bridgette from a couple years ago and started.

I know it's crap, but feel free to rub it in my face anyway.

show us all of it! you should also submit it to them. well i made another and with all of them saved, my comp is gonna run outa space.

Here's mine:

:( my graf.s are nothing like all of yours, oh well. off to delet them. except for EXIT, i like that one. eh ill just delete mentos.

I might check it out if I get a spare moment. I remember spending hours on the graffiti editor in JSRF ... so I'd probably spend hours here too. Althoug it was worth it in JSRF, because you got to graffiti your "own work" around everywhere.

I don' really know much about real graffiti, but I think some of those guys are much more talented than some of the "art" you see in galleries and the like. I've seen some really kick ass graffiti around.

Abe Babe...

Thanx for your tips codek.
I'll keep at it.

Hey Killa, here's the sort of thing you should be starting off with:



Just drew that to give you an idea. Only took a few minutes but you can see where I'm going with it. Start out simple like that, add a few linkages between words. Flare out the serifs and make it more vivid by giving it a "shadowed" border.

Gradually you can work your way up to bigger and better stuff, with more color, images, linkages, and other complexities.

and he'll eventually become as good as this?

Basically, yes. That sort of thing is something you pick up. The more you do graffiti, the better you get.

Here's an evil skull thingy I just did...

Nice job, Codek. Truly a work of art.
I tried implimenting my work into that program but I have a steadier hand with a real can.

*CB goes all teacher*

Pleeeeeaaaaaase! Tell me you're not one of those annoyong little scrotums who just make the town centre/ sides of shops/ buses/ trains/bridges/ etc etc etc look worse than they are and endanger their own lives by doing their half assed attempts at a signature by covering every available surface in random tags and swear words!!!!

Pleeeeeaaase! No!

Tell me you use a real official grafitti wall installed by the council... please!!!!

Or maybe even just make your own walls look like shit!?

*CB switches out of teacher mode*

Anyhoo... moving on...

Yeah your artwork is great... everyone's is geat and it is... when done in the above example styles.... a ligitimate art form!

Excellent guys... but lets keep in on legal grafitti areas and on the computer or paper! ;)

Quiet! The world is a graf artist's canvas. We paint where we please.

Em... no it ISN'T actually!

You'll be painting where you please when your parents have to hawl ass down to the police station to speak to the police about your criminal damage!

Or you fall off the ledge on a bridge over hanging a motorway and break your back... what would you tag then? Window ledges?

Or how about if you come home to find that some f**k wit has tagged or grafitti designed "where they pleased" on the side of your house?

Its actually against the law to "tag2 any public or private property!!!

And I for one find it unsightly when it isn't in the designated place!

Nah the skull is pretty crap really. I just doodled it in a couple minutes.

It doesn't really help having a mouse which moves really badly. Drawing anything using a freehand tool with my mouse is a bit like someone with parkinsons disease trying to draw a straight line. It jerks about occasionally...

But like you said it's easier in real life, even the best drawings I've done on that thing come out looking slightly odd. That skull was just a lopsided attempt at demonstrating to Killa that it can be done, it just takes practise and skill.

Oh and I see CB has chimed in with more ammunition from her perpetual "anti-codek" campaign. When are you going to give it a rest CB?

I don't go to great hights to paint, nor do I do any jackass stunts in the process. There's graffiti everywhere where I live and the police nor my parents give a damn. I graf the only place I can, I'm not going to spend money on new wallpaper when I can go outside and spray brick walls in abandoned alley ways. I'm not saying I would scale an office building and spray paint their signs. I graf where everyone does, and the police know that if they take that away the artists will have no choice but to paint the town red (and blue, and green, and yellow, etc.).

Its not anti Codeck! You were merely the first person to mention classing themselvs as a grafitti artist... it wasn't a personal pick up!

Its a comment for all of you guys... your artwork is excellent.... but you can get into serious trouble for vandalising public property.. which is what grafitti art is seen as by the aurthorities!

It may be illegal but so is underage drinking and downloading music for free, and we are all guilty of one of those, I'm sure. Graffiti is illegal if you paint on public property, where we live there's this big building that's been empty since the 40s and it's become one, big, canvas and the authorities let it slide. Besides, once you fill up your walls where do you expect us to paint, most of us don't have big, expensive, studios that we can just stroll into.

Thanx for all the hints codek, they have helped me a bit.

Ok i'v done my first ever graf.
Promise you won't laugh:

Edit: Sorry about the double post, i did not realise.

You're getting there, but I still think you probably need time to get to grips with the whole drawing-on-a-computer-thing.

No matter how bad it looks, keep at it. You'll gradually get better and better. Trust me on that one.

This graffiti thing is actually kinda fun (and somewhat easier) with a Wacom Tablet...

I used to do the whole "graffiti" thing in real life, but I never did anything more than just a couple of mindless black scribbly tags on the back of buildings and under bridges and whatnot. I'm not quite sure what I was trying to accomplish with that. They weren't even that good.

Whatever. Teen angst, I guess.

Here is my username graffiti?
Rate it out of 10 (honestly please).

http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...tid=2247&stc=1

I agree that vandalism is wrong.
I do enjoy graffiti art though. I just love the style...especially while looking at Codek's stuff.

-oddguy :cool:

6 out of 10, Killa. Your best work yet! :fuzgrin:

I'll rate it out of 50. Each catagory has a maximum of 10.

Overall appearance: 2/10.
Improvement over last attempt: 2/10.
Overall style: 1/10
Letter formation: 2/10
Font Face: 1/10

Total: 8/50. You've got a long way to go yet, but the improvement you made between your first attempt and this attempt is noticeable. ;)

Yeh the Dan one was a bit scruffy and messy, but i spent a bit more time on that one.

Have you visited the artcrimes website yet? If not, you should. There is some absolutely awesome work there...

;)

Oh These images are great, i think i may base soom more artwork on these, but i don't think i'll make another one tonight.

I'll try to post mine.

Dammit Al it ain't hard! >.<

Okay, I managed to dig up a few design stencils in my 'box'. I will scan them when I feel like it and post them when the same feeling resurfaces.

I did one of the glukkon logo with the words Al the Glukkon next to it, but while trying to figure out how to attach it my internet quit.

You'll probably find it at the employment office then.

Sorry but how do I post it on here?:o
