As I probably should have just put it in here anyway rather than the 'introduce yourself' thread

here are some examples of different things that I do. I don't have any specific Dresden Dolls related stuff - but I do share their whole dark, nearly-gothic, naked lady ethos.

wonderful work! love to see some more...

Die Baume des Winters · « **Reply #2 on:** June 02, 2008, 01:20:27 PM »

Yeah - I don't need much encouragement

I don't have any of my newer stuff on a computer but here are some more

fairytalevegas · « **Reply #3 on:** June 02, 2008, 03:06:45 PM »

These are beautiful. Holy fucking damn. Wow. I'd love to see more.

Die Baume des Winters · « **Reply #4 on:** June 02, 2008, 03:35:40 PM »

Thanks...I've seen your photgraphs - so I return the compliment...nice stuff.

You are so incredibly talented!

Indja · « **Reply #6 on:** June 02, 2008, 03:57:22 PM »

I'm thoroughly impressed. Wish I had talent like that.

Die Baume des Winters · « **Reply #9 on:** June 03, 2008, 06:58:01 PM »

Wow - thanks people!

So I guess I will...post more that is. Although due to my last Powerbook dying without me backing anything up [oh dear] this is the last I have in any kind of digital format - the bottom of the digital barrel if you will:

And trees - a few of many....[also please excuse the really poor quality of the scans...I think some are even just black/ white...no greyscale...ouch]

Wow, those are really neat. All I can do is draw stick figures.

awesome

i have always admired (and envied) those who can pull off the cross-hatching technique so amazingly well.

DiExmY_dArLinGx · « **Reply #14 on:** June 20, 2008, 02:40:43 PM »

DAMN!
i just died of jealousy

Die Baume des Winters · « **Reply #15 on:** June 20, 2008, 07:08:28 PM »

Thank you!

I actually have some NEW stuff - no one but close friends and family have seen - I'll post it in the next couple of days when I've photographed it - I'd be interested to know what people thought - at the moment I'm veering between 'best thing I've ever done' and 'stupid and childish' - it's likely somewhere in the middle.

Die Baume des Winters · « **Reply #16 on:** June 21, 2008, 11:00:35 AM »

So...

The idea being that there will be a series of 10 initially - the others will be less upfront in the lingerie department - so it's less - 'oh it's a bra' etc. They might have none at all - but whatever it will be less obvious - I just wanted to try these four to see how it worked. There will also be 4-6 large oil paintings - if I decide that I like them - because they take too long to do to do otherwise. Oh - and they are about A3 size.

Anyway, let me know what you think please!

Golly Mina! · « **Reply #17 on:** June 21, 2008, 04:47:05 PM »

They're simply amazing, I cant believe how talented you are. Really fantastic!

Die Baume des Winters · « **Reply #18 on:** June 22, 2008, 03:53:04 AM »

It's overkill time - I just got my entire archive of old work from my dead computer - I made a flickr - which is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/26637246@N04/

But here are some of my favourites that I haven't been able to post...

Done in writing ink and biro [!]

Ink

Charcoal

Writing ink - I'm not entirely sure why I like this one- and in some ways...I don't!

Rare attempt at pastel

Sketch for one I posted earlier

First painting I sold

The one, for some reason, that I could have sold over and over

Die Baume des Winters · « **Reply #19 on:** June 22, 2008, 03:54:28 AM »

Not sure why this one won't work...

And if anyone can tell me why the avatar has streched my crow horizontally I'll be grateful!

lucyanna · « **Reply #21 on:** August 14, 2008, 10:08:34 AM »

absolutely stunning work! your cross-hatching skills are amazing

Die Baume des Winters · « **Reply #22 on:** August 14, 2008, 10:30:00 AM »

I do spend a lot of time cross hatching these days. It's not really very exciting.

cardigan · « **Reply #23 on:** August 25, 2008, 08:05:15 PM »

I'm loving the crosshatching, even if it isn't very exciting.

Your other stuff is beautiful too, lovely lighting - are you working from photos or from life or just from your imagination?

SeeAnne · « **Reply #24 on:** August 25, 2008, 10:37:42 PM »

Damn!!!!! I have a ton of artist friends and it shocks me that they can create such magnificent, humanly impossible drawings. And I am extremely jealous! I envy you by a mile. May I use one as a desktop display? And then maybe mention you in my blog. My blog isn't special or anything, it's my online diary because I get hand cramps when I write in my phsyical one. But I do mention awesome people in it when I get the chance, or when I remember.

Johnny · « **Reply #25 on:** August 25, 2008, 11:28:32 PM »

your skills are breathtaking.

it's ridiculous.

Die Baume des Winters · « **Reply #26 on:** August 26, 2008, 11:50:04 AM »

Cheers!

seean - I'm more than happy to be mentioned in your blog!

Cardigan - a combination really - a lot of the drawings are from life the paintings are then from drawings and photographs [a lot of them take too long for some one to sit for or for me to sit outsride for...but all photographs I have taken for that purpose...so often the photos themselves aren;t that great!]

virtual~mary · « **Reply #27 on:** August 26, 2008, 05:50:58 PM »

i'm diggin' your charcoals (page 1 and june 22)! some playful contrasts and detail, plus nuanced emotion. did you use some pastel on the first?

Die Baume des Winters · « **Reply #28 on:** August 26, 2008, 07:21:08 PM »

Aye - there's some chalk in that first one - I presume there was a reason for that at the time; either that or I messed up and tried to save it.

virtual~mary · « **Reply #29 on:** August 27, 2008, 05:21:57 PM »

well, if it's any comfort, the use looks deliberate.

mangosta · « **Reply #30 on:** August 28, 2008, 10:55:00 PM »

WOW!

You are SO talented!

wow, you're AMAZING.

BrandtCooley · « **Reply #33 on:** November 20, 2008, 01:35:52 PM »

The shape and flow on the first one are amazing.

angryinch · « **Reply #34 on:** November 20, 2008, 03:31:03 PM »

I officially brand you GREATEST ARTIST ON THIS BOARD. Seriously. You are very very amazing at what you do. I draw, but with no where near as much depth. You have lighting down perfectly. Same with proportions. Seriously. You are fantastic.

malcontent · « **Reply #35 on:** November 20, 2008, 03:42:44 PM »

can we fuck? hahaha. No but seriously... you are amazing. I have never seen anything so fucking awesome... and my friend Kathleen is very good. Even she would have to bow down to you....

Draw me please.

Die Baume des Winters · « **Reply #36 on:** December 08, 2008, 05:21:02 AM »

This is all very kind! I'm happy to draw anyone - send a full length photo and I'll put you in a forest!

malcontent · « **Reply #37 on:** December 08, 2008, 01:15:28 PM »

SERIOUSLY?!

Die Baume des Winters · « **Reply #38 on:** December 09, 2008, 04:32:51 AM »

Yes, seriously. I'm not saying that you get the picture though - obviously you can have a print. If you are already standing in a forest [with trees with no leaves and some decent sunlight and shadow] this would be easier. But yes - even if you're not. It's not easy to find models...

malcontent · « **Reply #39 on:** December 09, 2008, 07:38:34 AM »

YOU"RE AWESOME.

GAAAWWWWDDDD!!!!

that's amazing! I love the dripping effect on the bodies. it's so vibrant saturated and yet filthy.

Have posted some new ones up on my flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidmcquillan/

Including some that I did for the exhibition just ended:

And some illustrations for a children's book that's coming out in October...

Dude, could you draw me?

Julie M. T. · « **Reply #46 on:** July 18, 2009, 03:19:26 AM »

holy christ i like your style. i've always wanted to collab again with something like this. i did it once during a two week art immersion program. they paired the poets up with the painters and had them paint one image based on their interpretation of a poem we'd written, and then we had to write one poem based on our interp of one of their works.

this reminded me of that time.

very very cool.

malcontent · « **Reply #47 on:** July 18, 2009, 05:26:05 PM »

Could you by any chance show us those poems and paintings?

Die Baume des Winters · « **Reply #48 on:** July 20, 2009, 05:20:11 AM »

"i've always wanted to collab again with something like this"

We should do this here - there's plenty of talented people....

No, unfortunately this was years ago and I don't own them anymore.

I'd be more than willing. It's a matter of demand/interest.

Die Baume des Winters · « **Reply #50 on:** July 21, 2009, 05:47:50 AM »

Well.....how many people do we need? I guess the more, the merrier. But at it's simplest: you write - I draw. I'm sure other people would get involved though.

Die Baume des Winters · « **Reply #51 on:** July 21, 2009, 09:37:58 AM »

Excellent! Maybe I should start a new thread for this....should it be in Shameless Self Promotion? I guess...
