WHat's happenin' all? I'm gonna try and breath some life into the Fan Art forum with a new graphic. Its a powerful scene from a great Dirk Pitt novel (they're all pretty great, aren't they? ;) ). Can you tell which?



I'm also gonna be posting some of the different elements I've used in my images, like pics of Matthew McConaughey's Dirk Pitt, so you guys can start designing your own stuff too!

The plane crash in the fjord from Treasure

AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I love you Andy!!! Treasure all the way!

You have quite a bit of talent, there. Nice job! th: :)

Once again, Andy, gorgeous work!! Beautiful, beautiful.

What happened guys? I was just getting my party hat ready. party:

Hey, sorry, I've got some more stuff, its just been pretty crazy around here. I was an extra in a Disney movie a couple of days ago...but that's a whole other story! haha...

- Andy

P.S. It's not Dirk Pitt, but close... :)

An Extra in a Disney Movie :o !!! COOL! Did you get in any shots??? What movie???

Awesome work Andy. Keep it up th:

Yeah, I was an extra in crowd scenes for a Disney movie called Invincible that is coming out next year. It stars Mark Wahlberg and is about this 30 year old bartender who makes an open tryout for the Philadelphia Eagles in the late 1970s (true story). They were filming a game between the Eagles and the Cowboys here in Dallas over three days. I went on the third day after all of the game was filmed and they were filming effects shots with a crowd of about three hundred or so. They would move us to different sections in the stadium and shot us doing the same reactions. They'll combine all of the shots digitally to fill the stadium, so I have the potential to be on screen like ten times in the same shot! hahaha....it was fun and I can say I was in a Disney movie. :)

Now if only they would film the next Dirk Pitt movie around here...

Sounds like a good time, AND they probably paid you for it. th:

Looking forward to more art, when you have time. :)

For all you graphic design people, I have a question for you. I have some art I want to post that I made in Adobe Printshop, but the forum wont let me because it says the file is too big. Any idea's on how to fix this problem will be GREATLY appreciated. Its driving me NUTS!!! :wacko:
-Heather

You could reduce the file size using graphics software like photoshop. If you need help with that, contact me and I'll reduce it for you.

You could also contact John (Foss Gly) because he knows of a really good way to post pictures through a third party posting agency. It works pretty well, I just don't remember how to do it.

Good luck!

GREAT :) ! I will try both options. Thanks guys!!! w:

I was bored, so I had a little fun.

Can anyone guess what scene this is???
:rolleyes: ;) :lol:

That's great!!!! th: th: th: Dirk escaping in a bathtub in Cyclops (a very cool scene). :)

Holy cow! No wonder you haven't had time to work on Dragon Continued, you've been busy with this masterpiece! th: :lol:

I know, I know! Im working on it, I promise.

Masterpiece??? :huh: Oh I don't know about that. Thanks though. w: .

:ROFLMAO :lol:

Hey Heather, that looks great th: Well Done!!!

Of course anything with Matthew McConaughey in is bound to get a favorable comment from me :P

More, More, More!!!!!!!!!!!

Guess the scene...

Im sooo having fun with this! I LOVE ADOBE PHOTOSHOP!!! :P

Dirk jumping onto the ship in the beginning of Shock Wave before it hit the rocks? Good stuff!! th:

YEP!!!! I need to make them harder.......after some practice, that is. :lol:

Another good one Heather th:

See writer's block is good for something ;)

Another nice one! th:

Wow! That's really great, Heather!!! I wish I had Adobe Photoshop! w:

This is a free one from Google that was recommended to me tonight. Probably not as good as photoshop but might suffice. Anyone have experience with it?

Great artwork Heather!

Cheers beer:

Hmm, I'd never considered doing a sketch related to Cussler's novels. And since it appears the last post in this forum was July, I think I'll go try my hand at it.

Welcome to the forum, Airman! I was hoping someone would contribute to this category soon. Looking forward to seeing your drawing(s)! w:

Erik

I'm gonna be honest, my typical style lies along the categories of Anthro/Anime, but I'm always up to a new challenge.

Hmm, I've started work on what I hope to fit the description of "Old Gert" from "Dragon"

AWSOME!!!!! I can't wait!!! party:
WELCOME TO THE FORUM AIRMAN!!! w: w: w:

Don't send out party invitations just yet, this could still be a flop
