Here are some of my paintings. These are NOT for sale, just an example of the quality/style of my work. Sorry about the glares, but they are already in frames and on a wall in somebody's house.

Dachshund:


NCSU young wolf mascot:




Deer:


Buffalo with genuine arrowhead collection:



If anyone is interested in a print of the wolf pup, let me know and I will look into it. The original painting is not for sale, but I may offer prints if I can find a good place to make them.

I am offering to paint a custom picture for anyone who requests it. Any size canvas. Any subject. My fee is for the materials used + the time I spend working on it.

looks like some work that i did in middleschool

2/4/2008 12:04:47 AM

those are worth much less than the material/products used to creat them

2/4/2008 1:36:55 AM

I want a Kangaroo.

2/4/2008 2:37:34 AM

^^^
awesome! I'd like to see your work now.

^^
nevermind then. [even though you are just trolling]

^
I'm going to paint a kangaroo. I have free time tonight.
If you seriously want it, that's great. If not, then I'll keep it.

and also people, remember this is classifieds and not chit chat.

that's actually a good thing for me. It means I've got nothing to lose (the time spent would be time I'd be wasting online anyways). The more work I do, the better I will become at it. If these are really as terrible as you say, then I'm not losing anything selling them to other students. If anyone here has some serious offers, wonderful. I'm just having fun, and using this as practice. There is always someone who would take these. Once someone offered to buy the wolf one for a few hundred, but I refused because I was entering it in a contest, which I did not win, but that doesn't matter. It has a good home now.

2/4/2008 10:09:23 AM

How much for the Kangaroo? (Yes I am sort of serious)

And remember, art doesn't have to be beautiful. "It's so ugly... It is art." Along those lines. Like the Pontiac Aztec.

2/4/2008 10:17:34 AM

thanks 7trax, but this isn't that sort of thing. That's the type of comment I'd reserve for drunknloaded's MS Paint drawings.
I'm going to work on the kangaroo this afternoon. What are you willing to pay?

2/4/2008 11:19:47 AM

I'll pay based on quality.

2/4/2008 11:59:06 AM

deal.

2/4/2008 12:04:13 PM

How much do you normally sell for?

2/4/2008 3:22:19 PM

these paintings suck ass

2/4/2008 4:03:32 PM

^ uh...thanks, I guess.
^^just testing the waters, but apparently this is the wrong market.
I have started working on that kangaroo, btw. Got a background layer down, about to draw in the critter. (on tww while that layer dries)

2/4/2008 4:16:34 PM

is this serious?

2/4/2008 5:19:55 PM

yo puppy would you be interested in doing a large geometric design? just like random colors and shapes for my dorm room. i dont know how big, but the blank wall is like 5' by 10'

2/4/2008 5:31:51 PM

^ hahaha man by the looks of your PAINT pic in your gal you showin Bob ross up

2/4/2008 5:44:03 PM

yes. What colors? What shapes?

2/4/2008 5:44:46 PM

i think they are cute

can one give you a picture of a dog and you make a painting of it?

can you ship these paintings?

2/4/2008 10:59:30 PM

^yes, the dachshund in the original post was done from a photo.
Possibly for shipping, if its a small 8 x10 or something similar, sure no problem.

I'm not doing any more this week, but still taking requests which will be done whenever I have time. I had a pm request that if I do will take me over a week. Same with rtc407's request. I won't start on either of those without more information.

I've almost finished that kangaroo.

2/4/2008 11:27:48 PM

this is not a case of "so ugly it must be art" (I really HATE the fucktards who say this shit--they know nothing of art, and are smug in their stupidity), it's just bad.

2/4/2008 11:33:33 PM

okay, since my work is so terrible, I'm not doing this anymore. Forget it. I have better things to do anyways.

I'm not doing any more paintings ever again. Forget this thread.

I'm also a terrible photographer (not that I ever claimed differently). Big deal.

2/4/2008 11:42:47 PM

So the Kangaroo will never be finished?!

2/5/2008 7:31:48 AM

are you for real about not doing them anymore? i wanted one!

2/5/2008 8:28:08 AM

no, I wasn't serious. I figured that would make arcgreek go away.

I'm going to finish the kangaroo later.
I'll do one for you, Malagoat, next week.

2/5/2008 9:07:03 AM

ok, PM me when you have time to do one, I will send you a picture of my dog

Thanks!!

2/5/2008 10:19:16 AM

Meh, everyone has got to start somewhere, props to puppy for putting herself out there.

I liked the buffalo one. While you're still refining your technique, I'd run with mixed medium works like that.

Maybe you could do one of Bob Ross?

2/5/2008 10:58:43 AM

Damn, that's a good idea.

2/5/2008 10:59:02 AM

You use acrylic, right?

2/5/2008 11:03:52 AM

^^^thank you.

My very first sentence in this thread read:

Quote :

"just an example of the quality/style of my work"

I did not expect to have the best quality. That good quality comes from one of two things: either being born with super talent, or spending every moment of your time refining that technique. I don't have that time.

If someone doesn't like it and has nothing good to say, the only logical option would be to leave the thread without posting.
If someone has helpful advice, that's great! JCASHFAN had the right idea. I love helpful feedback about anything and everything.
Saying "that's ugly" is not helpful feedback. Tell me how I can improve. If you can not give me advice for improvement that means that you have no good reason to criticize.

^yes, I do.

2/5/2008 12:17:09 PM

Try oils.

2/5/2008 12:21:28 PM

okay. will do.

2/5/2008 12:39:36 PM

It's a lot different than acrylic, and I think you'll have a much better time blending the colors. Just make sure to stock up on mineral spirits.

2/5/2008 2:53:09 PM

my girlfriend kicks ass at painting.....seriously.



she can do ncstate stuff as well, obviously

PM me if interested

2/5/2008 4:51:18 PM

^^ okay, will try sometime.
^impressive, but you will probably get more interest if you make your own thread, and not hijack mine.

2/5/2008 5:07:25 PM

Your paintings freak me out.



It's a compliment, as art is supposed to illicit some sort of emotion, right?

[Edited on February 5, 2008 at 5:28 PM. Reason : rite?]

2/5/2008 5:28:46 PM

^yes, you are right. Still a strange compliment, but thanks anyways.

2/5/2008 5:45:03 PM

im going to be doing this same type of thing for my own pleasure, props on your paintings even if they arent amazing- i wanna see the kangaroo!

puppy where do you get your canvas/paints and how much did they run you?

2/5/2008 6:36:39 PM

^AC Moore's, usually

2/5/2008 8:06:11 PM

the dog sucks, the ncstate teddy bear has down syndrome, the deer is about to be hit by a semi, and the buffalo looks like christopher big black boykins

but keep up the good work

2/5/2008 10:01:35 PM

thanks for the suggestion, but I'm definitely not interested. Besides this stuff is not as good as the stuff on that site (not to mention the customizableness of my own)

haha, I know it.

you're next on the list. (like 4 more before you, so you have a good wait.) Thanks for reposting the wolf one like that. Appreciate it.

2/6/2008 10:20:17 AM

Is the wolf one still available?

[Edited on February 6, 2008 at 12:55 PM. Reason : wolf]

2/6/2008 12:55:35 PM

no. It's current owners are attached to it. Like I said in my first post, I will see about making prints if someone seriously wants it. The original is staying right where it is at.
