Carmadillo

[Nixon]

This is what happens when I inhale too many marker fumes.

I am making some garbage art for this charity fundraiser dealy. I'll post some of the other stuff if it turns out alright.

[Goufunaki]

:lol My god, the things you come up with. I love it!

[Denmo]

awesome! :D

What happens when it runs over an Armadillo.

[d2king10]

Thats actually quite amazing! Love it!

[Valkysas]

I want one.

[Nixon]

And now, the less popular Carameldillo.

I probably won't display this one... :lol

[Owl of Parliament]

I didn't know what a Carmadillo was up until now, but they're precious.

[Goufunaki]

I didn't get it at first, but the edit makes it much easier to understand. :lol

[Jamos]

I want one.
I want one, too. They are so damn adorable! :heart

[Nixon]

I didn't get it at first, but the edit makes it much easier to understand. :lol

As usual, I blame the dyslexia.

Here's a tiny 4x4 inch canvas piece called "PANIC MODE"

I edited this and added the final version.

[Rodak]

How'd I miss this??

It's Marvellous!

[John Mora]

Carameldillo is LESS popular?

[Pagerron]

I'd have to say that Carameldillo is my favorite one so far.

Is there a "Barmadillo" or "Guitarmadillo" in the works? :)

Seriously, though, this is a cool thread. I'll be checking in here every now and then to see the new stuff.

[Fushigi na Renamon]

These are amazing, Yam! I would so put carameldillos on a cake.

[Red Dragon]

What about Karmadillos!?

[Nixon]

Thanks for the comments, peeps.

I ended up selling quite a few pieces. In fact, the one piece I was sure would sell didn't! :lol

The carameldillo and carmadillo were big hits, and I gave out color prints to those that missed the bidding on those two. The carmadillo was sold to one of my best workplace friends. I was so happy that it went to her, and she loved it.

I also bought a few items from other artists. It was a lot of fun, and 1/3 of the money I raised goes to charity.

I'll post some of the other pieces soon. Some of them I didn't get a chance to scan.

Now I can work on my regular stuff again! I'll try to post a SH cartoon this weekend.

[Alex]

How were those mounted/framed?

[Fushigi na Renamon]

Congratulations on the successful sale! That's wonderful news! :heart

[Goufunaki]

Congrats on the sales, Nix. :happy

How many pieces of art did you make for this?

[Nixon]

Smurtle - Most of the pieces were either placed behind a simple matte or just sold as is (some of the cavas pieces were ghetto-rigged with wire should someone want to hang them up). I'm pretty bad about that.

Gouf - I think I made about 10-12 "serious" pieces, but I honestly can't remember. Some of them I gave away for free if the person instantly fell in love with it and/or had no money. I also did a bunch of throwaway pieces on these watercolor paper postcards I had.

Here's some more random junk:

4x5 inch cavas. I called this one "Armadillos in the wild." I assume that this is what they do when nobody's looking.

Yes, I like armadillos way too much, and for no good reason. Most of the ones I've seen have been roadkill.

I titled this one "NOT GODZILLA" because I drew it from memory and it doesn't look much like the actual Godzilla.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/Nixon/img052.jpg

And this one is funny... it's a rejected shirt design for PH. It's based off an MS paint version I drew for Highwind's birthday. I decided to color it anyway and see if anyone was interested.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/Nixon/img057.jpg
The answer was no. :lol But most of the people there were not video game fans, so I wasn't surprised.

[Goufunaki]

Nix, you're awesomeness knows no bounds! :lol

[IRC]

Is that Pyramid Head one of the canvas pieces or postcards?

In other words, dibs.

[Nixon]

It's the odd one... I drew it on nice sketchbook paper, then hastily colored it with art markers.

I'm afraid someone already hit me up for it, though.

[IRC]

*tears up million dollar check*

[Nixon]

It was rejected, people! Rejected by ME. I had to draw it two more times before I got something I could stand to print.

[IRC]

Did I mention the check is made out to sick kittens? Or rather was made out to sick kittens. :(

[Nixon]

:lol Your edit makes me smile.

You like rejected crap? Here's another failure.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/Nixon/img059.jpg
I tried to flip the sword (it was backwards) and lowered it a little. Both of these problems can be seen in the first pic. I went nuts inking this one later while I was supposed to be working on other more productive things.

[BIOHUNTERZ]

i'm limp

[Sejon]

This topic is amazing.

I love love love the armadillo series! I'd have to say my favourite is the carmadillo.

[Goufunaki]

The Armadillos in the wild is my favorite out of the bunch. :happy

[Nixon]

My dad would kill me if he found out about these, because he likes armadillos even more than I do. I might have to redo the "wild" one for him as a gift. :p

[Chuck]

It was rejected, people! Rejected by ME. I had to draw it two more times before I got something I could stand to print.
But that means nothing. You hate some of your best stuff.

[Trebsay]

Not to influence your work, but I thik it be cool if you made a Hedgehog type painting.

Nice work on the Carmadillo!

[Ωbright]

I love them all, but 'PANIC MODE' is my favorite. Awesome!

[highwind]

i am ****ing really happy for you. that is awesome. i will contract something from you in the future as soon as i decide what i want.

GOOD WORK, YAM.

[Nixon]

We had another art fair recently, and I raised over $150 this time. Here are a few of the pieces I sold.

This one was fairly popular.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/Nixon/img126.jpg

This is the item that attracted the most attention. It's a 5 x 6 painting.

I always draw wonky penguins. I should probably use reference or something. But I like how the colors worked out.

[SirTMagus]

I love these and you should feel loved!

:upset

[Goufunaki]

Awesome as always, nix! :thumbs
Nice to hear the fair went well for ya. :D

[Pagerron]

Really nice! Congratulations on getting some good money for your work too.

I really like the one with the angry mouse.

The Pac Man ghosts painting is interesting. Are we looking at them from the perspective of Inky or Pac Man?

[highwind]

i love that expression!

Awesome.

If I would have been there... I would have definitely bought this within three seconds of seeing it.

[Ωbright]

ANY of them, but if I'd gotten there in time, I would have scored that bug.

And the mouse.

With the bug.

[Sejon]

Hey, I saw some of those in real life!!!

I feel honoured!!! :D!

[lil_das]

For real though. I love that picture. Do you have anymore like it?

[Nixon]

Thanks for the comments, peeps. I tried to have fun with these pieces.

I'm glad you like that one. I can always make more garbage art, but I try not to just duplicate the exact same image. There are certain subjects I like more than others, though. :p

Here's the rest of what I sold.

I like bob-ombs.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/Nixon/img124.jpg

I really like stuff smashing cities. I don't like crooked scans, but eh...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/Nixon/img122.jpg

FAMOUS ROBOTS?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/Nixon/img127.jpg

This was inspired by all the ducks in the stupid drawing topic.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/Nixon/img129.jpg

There were two more pieces, one I didn't get to scan and the only one that didn't sell.

I guess I should add that all of these are basically just glorified doodles. I draw them out in sharpie and see what happens. The opening on the mattes is only 6.5 x 4.5. I also try to have a number of "cute" images, since women tend to enjoy those pieces (and buy them).
