Do you Create? (Art Thread)

Well? I know some of you do. Any sort of media: painting, drawing, sculpting, music, literature... hell, even Beaterator tunes? Post anything you have. I love to see the creativity come out of people.
 
I'll start.

I do a lot of creative writing in my free time, though none of my work has been published professionally.  I actually completed the rough draft for a novel about five years ago, but it's bad in the category of "I definitely thought most of this garbage up in high school."  I've since been working on shorter works that I unfortunately don't have handy links for to get better at writing while I work on notes and details for my next attempt at a larger-scale writing project that will hopefully feature better plotting and characterization and read less like it was written by someone that overdosed on video games and anime.

I do drawings. I use a graphics tablet, so my work doesn't look so rough. I tend to draw without anything too complex color-wise. Stuff that would be probably used in a flash animation.

This took me quite a while as I had to find a good reference pic. Turned out well, I think. 

You honestly want to see my drawing?  I honestly don't draw all that much these days.
 

I used to work with graphic design, sort of anti ps3 sigs before. I hope it doesn't offend anyone, I have more if you want to see it, I have a ton. I'll just show a sample of my work.

I've made more but Youtube deleted them for some stupid reason....
If someone could help me figure out how to embed these videos that would be great.

I have no traditional art skills. I can manipulate the pixels, though.

Work in progress, anime style, no color yet and I still need to draw the hands. Edit, finished the hands and stuff now, have to use tone, then I have to color it.
 

I'm not really a drawer, but I am really into graphic design. Here's my latest signature that I've made.

As people who follow the Staff Photo Edit thread (And who doesn't?) may know, I like to mess around with GIMP every now and then.  I also make skins and models in SFIV for fun.
 

I can't post my art.  Its all naked woman posing, while sticking things inside themselves.

@TheGremp: Holy shit nice work on Fei long. "

I used to create crappy MSpaint stick figure comics (not by choice) with some pretty bizarre humor in it. Unfortunately, it also suffered from "This was totally made by someone in high school" syndrome. My second biggest mistake was basing 1/3 of the strips on commercials, meaning they dated pretty quickly. The best one I ever did was probably this one, and that's probably because it's the most subtle.  

 
I have no drawing talent at all, which sucks because my ideas and writing are a lot better now :P or at least I would hope.

I made a Youtube Poop that has about 33k views :] And I do some Photoshop stuff. 

I drew this weird alien half skull thing: 

" I can't post my art.  Its all naked woman posing, while sticking things inside themselves.  "

This thread is really making me wish I had the time to get back into some of my pixel art and flash game stuff. In fact, I might even start blowing off some of my school work to do more of this stuff...it's so much more gratifying than graduate school, which is an experience that feels roughly equivalent to banging your head on a brick wall repeatedly.

just music. Im currently in a band. 

I used to. At first, mostly traditional art. Painting, sketching, charcoal... that was back in school, where that was really the only form of art they would teach. I still do some pretty decent landscapes. I'm terrible at drawing traditional people. I've got a portfolio of stuff from from high-school... took some pretty advanced art classes, even got some college credit for it.
 
Later, I did mostly anime stuff. Lotta cartoon porn. The problem is that, without proper classes or a drive to learn, I was mostly copying other people's work, and not creating a style of my own. Basically, I'm not very good at it. The stuff I do try to do on my own sucks outright. Mostly because I never learned to properly draw the human form, despite taking specific classes on the subject.
 
There are two major points to why I gave up on art. One is that all the classes sucked the creativity out of me. It got to the point where I couldn't draw unless I was drawing something from life; which is perfectly fine for traditional art, but not for what I wanted to do, which was animation. I basically became a human copy machine. I've not since found the inspiration needed to get me back into the creative mindset to do much of anything.
 
The second problem is a physical handicap. I've always had the problem, but it's definitely taken hold in adulthood. My hands shake. It's usually subtle, but when I try to do anything precise, or when I'm nervous, they shake a whole lot more. It's something inherited from my Mom's side of the family, I guess. She has the problem just as bad as I do, if not worse. It's crippled a lot of things I've enjoyed doing in the past, like hunting (tough to shoot a gun straight), photography (need a tripod or some really insane shutter speeds to get a non-blurred image), etc.
 
So that was a lot of explanation for not having any art to show for it, huh?

You guys are all incredible artists at everything you do.  
 
@rjayb89: That is SICK. I can't imagine your fingers felt too great afterwards.  
@Alaska_Gamer: I really wish I had a tablet. What program do you use?

@AndrewB:

I have some photographs I posted.  Instead of uploading them I'll link to the Facebook album, I'm lazy...
 
Boom. 
 
I edit video also.  Here is some concert footage I shot and edited.
 
Blam.

Oh dear. I am way, way out of my league here. You don't get to see my abominations now.

I'm pretty proud of this.

Wasn't there a thread about this yesterday?
 
Yep, there was.
