Artsy Tropers, Conglomerate!

Drawings, writing, music, videos, alllll that good stuff.

I'm an artist! I have this very loose idea for my next art project (my first one in years; I put my art on hold to finish my English BA). I have a bunch of collage pieces I've saved for years (that and acrylic designs on canvas used to be my main thing), and I've been collecting bottle caps for the past week (I've accumulated at least 22 at this point; trying to get about 75). Not sure what I have in mind; might be political or environmental in nature, in keeping with the reuse of magazine/art clippings and bottle caps.

I'm artsy! I have a ton of deviations on deviantart as well, which my username is in my signature. No spaces for my username.

^^That sounds pretty cool! Once it's finished, or you've just got the ball rolling, would you post a picture?

I've really been getting into acting for a while. Does that count?

I sometimes write poems and stuff,and I like to draw does that count?

Sure it does!

I write a bit and play guitar.

i draw from time to time.

I started a performing artist thread, but not many people seem to be performers around TV Tropes. Or at least, they don't head to the Covens section.

As for this thread: I dabble in a lot of fine arts, but I'm majoring in theater because I want to do that as a career.

I've dabbled in writing, but it... wasn't great.

I think I'm fairly decent at acting, though, and I certainly enjoy it a lot more than any other artsy stuff. So that's cool.

I should start using the chalk pastels I bought at some point this month. They've been sitting in a cabinet for a while.

Added to my deviantWATCH.

@Mild Thanks :)

@Crimson Oh yeah definitely adding you to my Deviant Art watch

@Daft Punch, phantom1: thanks, guys.

One of my friends is asking for models for a vintage-y pinup shoot. I hope she picks me for one of them.

Writing and digital design are my shtick. I sometimes draw and color digitally too, but my brother EXCELS much more than I do in the drawing department.

Good news, everyone! For my college's play, I am now an understudy! I also tanked the line test! Sure, I've only been studying for two-ish weeks, but it still burns because normally I have my lines down.

On the plus side, I can bring it up by writing a paper on one of the shows I've seen.

I'm just going to bed early because I'm worn-out. God, line-tests suck.

I wanna try writing or drawing or music-making or voiceacting, but I'm generally too lazy to manage more than a half-started attempt. @_@

@Crimson Welcome

Acting, drawing, photography, usually in that order.

@Nasrudin Cool

Places to find my work: http://www.senordwall.com/ (main page mainly for writing)

I paint bones: http://www.senordwall.com/BoneArtSite/La_Casa_Calavera.html (And, yes, I know the Gratuitous Spanish is grammatically incorrect).

My Deviant Art page: http://shadsie.deviantart.com/

I experiment with lots of stuff. My favorite medium for painting is acrylics, however. They're versatile, relatively easy to clean and I like the "real" tactile sensations of working with traditional/physical media over the digital.

I'm not a very good sculptor, but I have played around in Sculpey making fictional creatures from anime and videogames. One of my Thomas-mounts from Trigun and my Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Epona seem to be the most popular.

People seem to like my paper-stains done with tea, coffee, boiled fall leaves and various things that I put up on DA as freebie textures. That kind of stuff features in the background of many of my works.

So I wanted to take a break on Spring Break, and I ended up writing stuff on HitRECord. Frequently when I should be sleeping.

It's definitely not polished, and I also need to draw up the cover art. Should I go with (chalk) pastels or colored pencils?

Chalk sounds neat.
