[Artwork] Ready for Liftoff

[Anomalous_Matter]

Ready for Liftoff is a beautiful oil painting of a rocket just before launch. It is also a screenshot run through a GIMP filter, but you didn\'t hear what I just said.

\'Tis beautiful, don\'t you agree?

EDIT: We\'ve just discovered the long-lost second painting in this series, dubbed Soaring Through Space.

[opinion] filters are a genocide of proper artwork in these days [/opinion]

That said, if you do have artistic ability, i\'d be more than willing to see it, even if you think it sucks.

[Anomalous_Matter]

I have the artistic ability of a kindergartener with fistful of crayons. So really, filters are my best option for any sort of 'Artwork'.

[Twinky827]

I can sketch ships (Sea wise) planes, tanks, spaceships, rockets.. But NO computer art..

Here we have a modern artist\'s rendition of what Ready for Liftoff\'s rocket would have looked like after it actually, you know, lifted off:

(In other words, playing around with the artistic filters of GIMP using screenshots from my recent rocket launches )

EDIT: One moar, this one of a spaceplane taking off:

I had to draw that second one. I like your ship, by the way!

[roarke]

Vostok, i like your work. By any chance you do comics and/or you are an artist ?

[Vostok]

I don\'t do comics, nor do I consider myself an artist. I like drawing and creative work, just as much as I like design and engineering.

I\'ve also started writing a short-ish story on the fanfiction thread.

I would like to say my jaw dropped, but it didn\'t.

I am still very impressed with your art skills.

As I can see your still a newbie, I\'ll go easy on you.

Yes I cringe when I see filters on photos, but I forget how far I\'ve come.

Keep up the good work I say.

And keep making cool stuff!
