Post your favorite sf/f image w/commentary

[Darkhorse]

Hey all!

As requested, I thought it might be interesting to see what all of you think is interesting in sf and/or fantasy art. Yours or the pros.

Anyway, I thought I'd start a thread to post your favorite cyberpunkish or Parrish-esque (strong female heroine or anti-heroine) pix or comment on someone else's post.

If you know who the artist is give'em credit or post a link to their site/gallery.

Don't post images from sites that say not to borrow their work. (Chirugal or one of the other mods can weigh in if there is an issue.)

if you don't know how to post images search for the photo posting thread here in the Patch. It gives simple instructions on how to use photobucket.com

Still stuck? Ask, we'll get it straightened out.

With that said, Here's my first entry.........



The artist is BROM. I like the battle scarred wall behind Lucky. Reminds me of home....

Darkhorse that image is cheeky! the smile looks like it cud be off a propaganda poster ;D i think thats what makes it good

okay one from my collection

This is Kiva my main character from my Cyber Trash story, its supposed to be ott hence the hair, rest assured my other work is a little more subtle where possible

[Darkhorse]

CJ,

Again with the talent! What gives girl? Very nice. Subtle,no. Provocative, yes! You win again. I'm gonna have to check the posts to read her story. You continue to impress.

As for Lucky up there, I like the rabbit's feet hanging from her... whatever the hell it is they're hanging from. OLD JOKE: didn't do the bunny's much good did they? And yeah, I kinda like the 40's propaganda feel of the future in the pic.

Let me peruse my pix and see what I can find next....


Any other takers???

[Darkhorse]

Try this... check out the glyphs around her. Artist is unknown to me.

^^^Hello new desktop!

[Cj]

that is such a cool image the hair looks the best! well the whole image looks the best!

[Darkhorse]

Alphie- Glad you liked. Got any you want to share?

CJ- Is that all CGI? I think the pic is called Marquis.

All Fellow Patchers- Tag your it.

[Cj]

the war robot shes all cgi she must be! but it looks like either two image renders cos she has different lighting (and a glow around her) to the background image which looks a bit photoshop to me but could just have a filter over the cgi render cos theres alot of detail in that image.
my guess would be the whole thing is made with computer stuffs

[Sheyana]

All of them are cool, I think I like Lucky best - she looks so cheeky!

CJ, yours certainly hit me - I like the different poses, really cool.

And that hair of the robot-thing...I want hair that goes like that!

[Darkhorse]

Sheyana, Alphie, CJ, any images you wanna share?

I'm always looking to improve my collection.

As for the rest of you Patchers out there, i know some of you are talented artists and some of you must have some pix that you think are worth sharing.

Who knows maybe your old favorites will become our new favorites?

Nice posts guys, and CJ, that Kiva's EXCELLENT, and you've drawn the same person from different angles and expressions and it's obviously that same person.

Not sure if this counts as Sci-fi - a bunch of us got snapped on a night out and so I commemorated the occasion with this. Why ninjas? Dunno. Especially seeing as most of us aren't ninjas? Dunno.

I've posted a link cos proboards was cropping it when I included the img in the msg.

[Cj]

not that picture rocks!!! and i know most of the characters heehee

thansk GR for the Kiva comment *blush* i'm supposed to have good spatial awarness or somethin so i can see the same character right from different angles and draw them onto paper from my head, but i still can seem to get bodies quite right more practise i suppose

[Darkhorse]

Let's try this.... Ahh, yes, Paris in the spring...



Check out the lettering on the scarf. I love the angled POV. Just plain cool. I know I've got the artist name somwhere. I'll find it and post when I do..

Keep the pix coming Patchers! I know someone out there has some cool shots to share

[alphie]

I have no idea where this came from. It is just so cool.

(Click to make bigger. Click the bigger image twice more to make full size)

Can anybody tell me who created it?

[Darkhorse]

Alphie, you have great taste. That is a cool pic.

Found this one reminded me of Parrish. Couldn't find the artist name.



What ya think? Maybe a bit too pretty but if Parrish "shines like creation" on the inside then I think a little has to leak out.

Mo' pics please?
