Kitty Cat Adventures :: Tiny Illustrations

ckrickett — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 02:45:33 +0000

I love to doodle, and color, and be really dumb. So I started doing teeny tiny illustrations of cats having crazy adventures. I’m calling them “Kitty Cat Adventures” because well I am a creative genius! I am going to start with tiny illustrations and move to bigger paintings. I am excited!

This one is titled-”High Seas” and is only 3 1/4″ x 3 1/2″

He is also for sale! -> Right here!

Title- “Curiousity” and is also 3 1/4″ x 3 1/2″

This little dude sold tho so he will have a happy home soon!

I guess sometimes I don’t like to take my art to seriously and like to have a little fun with it. That’s whatthis series will be, silly dumb little cat adventures. HOORAY!

Deviant Art Fail :: Profile Picture Let Downs

ckrickett — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 13:08:34 +0000

And we are back with another RIVETING edition of DEVIANT ART FAIL! For this edition we will be looking at a classic, the profile shot!

We all know what a profile picture is, and it is a hard one to do yourself. So we guess people who are professional artistic photographers that grace deviant art might know what the hell they are doing when they take self photographs of themselves. Well if you are familiar with Deviant Art Fail then you know the answer is no.

Let’s begin…

Title: Dream By: chocomilss

This one really isn’t all that bad. It fails because it is to washed out, and I think the layout could use some editing. A quick glance at this picture and it looks like she is talking on the phone, not what she was going for I believe.

Title: I Waited By: HikariYuuki

OOOOOKKKKKKK!!!! First layout is crappy, it’s blurry and it seems like she isn’t even TRYING. This picture looks like she just got out of the shower and took a bunch of pictures on her phone and then uploaded them all to deviant art and gave them “interesting” titles. Deviant Art is NOT Facebook! At least edit the goddamn image, a little…. please!?

Title: Self 4 By: Steve-Nice

What is gong on with that hand? It is just floating there, is he a T-rex? Because that would be awesome. Once again this one isn’t that bad. He is a nice enough looking chap BUT this image needs some serious composition changes! CROPPING can be your friend! Without it, it doesn’t look like he was trying, and it’s sloppy and uninspiring.

Now you should all know I end these with really awesome examples.

I’m not trying to hate on people here, just the lack of effort in a lot of these really bugs me. I mean if you want to camera whore it up, and not give a damn about the quality, composition, or whatever the fuck, fine. Just put them on Facebook, your Flickr, Tumblr, whatever. I have always loved Deviant Art because it was a community for artists, and I am not saying that only a select people can be artists, I am just saying at least TRY! Ok end rant… here are some outstanding examples of self portrait profiles!

Title: Take Me to The River By: Piinkcat

I really love this, it is very haunting and it jut grabs you! Great job Piinkcat.

Title: Profile By: Sabriel-Morequendi

The colors in this one are just stunning!

Title: Golden Profile By: modelmeg2003

And another example of a simple profile that was self took that turned out beautifully.

It can be done!

Fiverr.com Dinosaur Illustrations

ckrickett — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:13:08 +0000

I am doing 5 dollar dinosaur illustrations on Fiverr.com. I’ll draw you as a dinosaur!!! I’ll draw you or anyone you want as a dinosaur! I’ll draw a dinosaur as a dinosaur!!!

I’m doing this to help raise money for something I want, but can’t afford. I am also doing this as an excuse to draw one of the things I love to draw… dinosaurs!!!

INDULGE ME!!!

Here are a few examples of my current dinos, I have a bunch more in the works too.

Now since I am only charging 5 dollars for these I won’t work longer then a half hour on each. But I can accomplish a lot in 30 minutes! Some people have asked if I can do a small painting, more then one dino in the picture or do a large picture(or take a longer time) the answer is yes! BUT it will be an additional 5 dollars. (message me for info on Fiverr.com to find out how that works). If you want more then one dinosaur then just purchase as many dinos as you want and I’ll lump them into the same shipment.

They are fun and I love to do them.

To get one go to…

Dinosaur Art :: Heck Yeah!

ckrickett — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 23:24:33 +0000

SO I’ve been busy, busy like a little bee! See I have been working really hard to work for myself, while I get my life “on track” and figure out a career option as well as work towards that career option. Working in retail and food was a huge setback so thankfully after MONTHS of hard work I am at a place where I make enough money to pay my bills, have a little extra and be content! It was so worth the work, although a lot of people seem to think I need a “real job”. But isn’t the point of a job to bring in money, and if I am bringing in money then isn’t that all they should be worrying about? Anyways OFF TOPIC!

I had a commission from a friend in Antartica to paint a sexy Velociraptor for him, and I did!! Here she is…

“Velociraptor” 16×20 Acrylic on Canvas.

If you like her prints are available!

Another one I did was for an upcoming art show. I am happy at how silly, and wonderful it turned out!

“Prehistoric Astronaut” 18×24 Acrylic on Canvas

Prints are also available of this guy!

Anyways I am super happy with them! I love dinosaurs and any excuse to paint them is fabulous!

I’m also offering $20 commissions of small paintings that can be of your choice or a surprise! If you are interested details are here!

3D Printed Minecraft Village

ckrickett — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 22:24:05 +0000

So you all have probably heard of Mineways (the software used to 3D print your structures from Minecraft). And if you haven’t you should check it out, the software is open source and all the structures I have seen are incredible! Anyways this tiny Minecraft city although not made using the Mineways software(similiar but not the same) was created, printed and then assembled. And the detail is amazing!

This was done by Flickr user Post-Apocalyptic Research Institute and you can find more amazing photo’s on his Flickr stream. I also included some great ones below!

Nerdy Show’s Holiday Special :: Life Day Spectacular

ckrickett — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 23:18:16 +0000

Join the ENTIRE cast of Nerdy Show (and I mean everyone, Brian, Hex, The Boys of Flame On, Marc with a C, myself and more) for the Holiday special of the year!! Music, laughs, tears, family and friends, did I mention I Fight Dragons is there too!? Well boy howdy are they and if you want to tune in you will be treated to such Earthly delights your skivvies won’t be able to contain themselves!

Listen to the episode here!!!

Winter holiday specials are a time honored tradition. Some are simply strange attempts to cash in on the holiday season (*cough*StarWars*cough*), others are brilliant, creative outpourings in the name of warmth, family, togetherness, and the hope that maybe, just maybe we can make the world a better place. We’d like to think this is the latter, but we’re willing to bet you’ll disagree.

Whatever you celebrate this holiday season – Nerdy Show is right there with you! We’ve got a nondenominational fest-stravaganza! (Well, unless Wookie is a denomination). Yes, it’s that time of year again, Life Day, when all Wookies return to Kashyyyk to celebrate. But unfortunately for Nerdy Show’s Wookie friend, Grumpy, he can’t get a lift to the forested planet. Instead, the Nerdy crew are taking him up to Brian’s cabin in the woods where he can commune, but there’s one big problem – they’re stuck in the worst holiday traffic jam of all time!

Join the entire Nerdy Show gang – yes, all of us – including Flame On and Marc With a C as well as special guests I Fight Dragons! Plus a Dungeons & Doritos Crunchmas Special! We guarantee, you’ve never in your life experienced a holiday show like this.
