Brightness Random she/her Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Sounds like a fun guild! I'd noticed a lack of art focused guilds around here, so I'm glad someone finally decided to take action. What sort of stuff would we do? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kipper he/him Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Probably crafty stuff. I'll join! I can't make art, but maybe I can be your mascot! After all, I join everything... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brightness Random she/her Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 You are so amazing at drawing Thanks so much! I'm not too good at realism, so I just hit the cartoons hard and fast and hope no one notices. I have a lot of goofy little drawings like that if anyone's interested in seeing some, though I'm rather old fashioned so their all done completely by hand. Anytime I look through the gallery I feel completely outclassed by all the fancy pictures... I really specialize in doodles and sketches. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all sound amazing Have you ever tried to draw fanfiction (As in something like Queen Elsa in armour or a fancy dress that wasn't in the movie?) I really love your doodles and sketches :) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really love your doodles and sketches :) Sometimes I have, though I've been pretty busy lately, so there's not been an awful lot of time for drawing. I doodled Rysn a while back, and I know I have a half draw Ryshadium somewhere... I think I'll try to dig up the drawings and post them, if only to finally get feedback from other Cosmere fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologize for the awful picture quality. I was taking pictures of my drawings on my phone, so... yeah Anyway, thoughts? Comments? Suggestions? Oaths of fealty...?

Brightness Random she/her Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Thank you, ChullRider. Those. Are. Awesome. I wish I could draw like you. At some point, I could probably post some drawings I did here. I would love to see your drawings! It's always fun to see how other fans interpret things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ostrichofevil he/him Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I have a lot of Aon doodles on schoolwork. I also at one point started doodling Cryptics, but got bored. Can I join as a musician? (and Aon drawer) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to learn what an Aon is (I haven't read all of Brandon Sanderson's books yet). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kestrel she/her Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Nice. I'm glad to be here! Anyway, if anyone wants some Cosmere related requests (canon characters only) feel free to just leave me a private message. I want to get better at humans. They'll be doodles, though. I don't have time for finished work too often anymore sadly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaymyth she/her Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 I'm a musician. Music is arts. I also sew, primarily costuming. My next project (to get really going on as soon as we're done moving) is that armored Jean Grey bit that I've been planning for a while now. After that, I've got some Alloy of Law designs in mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kestrel she/her Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Oh nice! Sewing is hard. I'd love to see a bit of your work ^^ Also, what instrument(s)? I play flute and picc, with a bit of trumpet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaymyth she/her Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Oh nice! Sewing is hard. I'd love to see a bit of your work ^^ Also, what instrument(s)? I play flute and picc, with a bit of trumpet. You already know some of these. I'm the one who's been responding to you on the rant thread. But I play oboe, flute (both standard and 6-hole), saxophone, recorder, Irish whistle, and piano. I could probably tackle clarinet if I bothered to learn the squirrelly fingering scheme. I've taken at least basic tech courses on all of the instrument families due to spending a few years as a music major before shifting over to education. (Yes, I have an elementary ed degree. I work at a bank. I'm making as much I as I would be teaching with a job at about half the difficulty level.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kestrel she/her Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Gahhh I'm sorry I'm dumb. Nice! Music seems like such a hard major; not something I'd do probably. Theory annoys me because some of it isn't very practical (the whole sharps/flats, and then double sharps and flats like why would you do that. i know why but why) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaymyth she/her Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) I firmly believe that double accidentals were created by evil music gnomes to torment young and old musicians alike. The next time you see one in rehearsal, raise your fist to the sky and cry out, "Accursed dark gnomes!" and watch the entire room stare at you like you're a lunatic. Ordinary sharps and flats, well, those are useful. It would be boring if everything were in the key of C major or A minor all the time. You don't have to have perfect pitch to start recognizing when pieces are in the same key. That's why certain bands (*coughcoughnickelbackcough*) have so many songs that sound alike. Either their guitarists can't handle exotic keys (and by exotic I mean "anything with flats"), or their lead vocalist has a limited range that doesn't let them spread out too far. They wind up with the same keys and sticking with familiar chord progressions, which has the unfortunate effect of making it all sound the same. College-level music theory gets a whole lot more complicated and useful than most of the stuff you've probably been exposed to thus far. The whole point is to teach you how it all fits together to build the basis for writing/transcribing good music. Things like writing good voice parts (parallel fifths are verboten, except when they're not), putting together standard chord progressions, handling key changes and the like. And then there's the aural skills to go along with it; you learn to recognize and name intervals just by hearing them, finding the tonic in a chord, etc. It all culminates in orchestration where you learn to put it all together and figure out how to arrange music for different sets of instruments without creating Truly Impossible Things. Honestly, it's all really cool when it comes together. Except for atonal stuff; that can all go die in a fire.
