The Captain's Doodles and Photos

[Mikero]

It is. I WAS actually being serious.

[ASR]

I'm going to use that line, to be honest. That was my mental note the first time I read it, and now that I realized I haven't used it, I'm reinforcing the first mental note.

[Mikero]

I think I made the same mental note, and also didn't follow through.

[Majikn]

OH BE QUIET.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Just two things I did while at Community College.

A cup who helped me through hard times.
A friend who gave me and that cup a level of quality to strive towards.

I'd upload some of the stuff that I think is better, but my art is too big and my scanner is too small.

EDIT: And a little bit of something you'd normally expect from me! Just some graffiti I left on a board last year in Math class.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Yep, I'm making a post in this thread.

No, Sano didn't make me do it! It was completely my idea.

I also didn't post in the wrong topic before.

...

Actually, those are getting better Sano.

[Mikero]

Minda is a jerk.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Mike, how about a real comment?
I always listen to what you say most, 'cause you've established yourself as a far superior artist.

More!
Yeah, sorry about the quality of the images. It's 'cause I took the pictures with my phone. I'm afraid the drawings'll get fubared if I try and take 'em home to get an actual good scan of 'em.

[Johncarllos]

Holy crap Sano made good art.

Seriously.
That goomba is the man.

[ChaosVortex]

Woah.

Nice. I like.

[Chron]

This is a drastic difference in quality. Sano, you...
... you did good. Sano did good.

I think he's found his medium; charcoal.

Also drawing Yaranaika faces on popular characters.

It's not charcoal.

How did you know about that?

[preventerWIND]

HOT DAMN SANO. Great stuff, scan that Luigi one in, that looks fantastic. And the hand thing looks pretty kickin' too.

[Mikero]

Luigi is funnay, and your shading is improving. Try to get away from that spot on lighting (where shading is ALWAYS on the outside edges) since that's pretty much the least realistic type of lighting there is and you only find it in like photoshoots and stuff. Look up diffused lighting examples and stuff, that's the most realistic and you can put directional shading on top of it later. My favourite part of it is the cloud face though, I gotta say.

The hand one just looks cool, if nothing else. That's mostly attributed to the splashes of black rather than the hand itself, which really only needs work because you lack practice with hands. Easily fixed. But the fact that you're attempting hands is good since most people shy away from them (which is actually very counter-productive).

[Majikn]

The Luigi one automatically made me think of "The Scream" by Edvard Munch.

[ASR]

I loved the Luigi one, lots. Good work, Sano.

[Mikero]

I like Robert Munsch better than Edvard Munch.

[Chron]

How did you know about that?

I have enough internet meme knowledge to write several volumes.

[Mikero]

Please don't.

[Chron]

Oh, I wouldn't do it here.
And I definitely wouldn't use my name on it.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

I hate this.
It looks like crap.
It's not finished.
I might not even finish it.
It sucks.

[preventerWIND]

With some good coloring it could look pretty damned good. Color it.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Can't, I've actually already started shading it.
I've never really been too good at coloring things.

[Mikero]

PRACTICE then.

[Johncarllos]

Once shaded, add color on the computer.

His hand seems to be missing a line under the cigarette. You know, the edge of it.

[Orange Devil]

The Luigi one and the one before it are amazing! Hands are HARD to draw. You're getting pretty good man!

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Well, it came out okay.
It's not really what I wanted.
The shading is too bland.
Then my bitch art teacher told me I couldn't use it in my portfolio because it wasn't school appropriate.

[Johncarllos]

Art teacher= skank.

That's sick.

[ASR]

How is it not school appropriate?

Your art teacher is the opposite of mine.

I'm sure I told the story here before, but I had a game going for the whole semester where I'd hide a drawn cock in every one of my assignments, and she was allowed to deduct a point if she could find it.

EDIT: I would've said "penis", which is nicer and friendlier than cock, but for some reason, ##### is censored. I bypassed.

[preventerWIND]

My art teacher's a bitch too. If you're late, just once, and only by say a minute, you get a detention all lunch.

[Orange Devil]

That's absolutely horrible. It makes me mad. You should take that ##### to the principal or something.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Your post made me very sad till I read the last sentence.

[Mikero]

I guess smoking isn't school appropriate, and the pose is typical of smoking a joint rather than a cigarette.

[Orange Devil]

So what, just because you are in school means you can't make any kind of satirical statement? I mean seriously, what is art without sarcasm and satire? This is probably the same school where they make you read Huckleberry Finn or Catcher in the Rye for christ's sake. Do you see my point?

Salvador Dali can paint a melting clock covered in ants, and in my opinion, that's making a much more offensive statement than someone simply smoking a cigarette. And just because it's more complex, just because simpletons don't understand it, means it's A-OK. Maybe that's why the artists do it that way...

[Johncarllos]

This is probably the same school where they make you read Huckleberry Finn or Catcher in the Rye for christ's sake.

Great books.
Yeah, reading those and there being no art like that allowed is bull.

[Mikero]

So what, just because you are in school means you can't make any kind of satirical statement?

Still art.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

2 for 1 special.

[ASR]

This is the sort of thing where not even a 2-for-1 deal is enough to make me buy it.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

So... Here's my first painting ever.

[Johncarllos]

It looks like a dinosaur holding a fly swatter.

[Mikero]

It's a fly swatting people, John.

Neat idea.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Hi, Billy Mays here!

[Johncarllos]

AWESOME!

[Ikeoko]

Love!
