An Album You CAN Draw Out

Jul 09, 2010 12:45

For my final portfolio in my senior AP art class, I had to pick a concentration pretty fast at the beginning of the second semester. And, since I'm obsessed like that, one of my first thoughts was Panic! At The Disco.

( ART TIME! )

this is not a fic, art

I think they're pretty good; post them to BSM!! And as for why you didn't pass... Maybe it's 'cause they're kind of literal? Like, you could have dug a bit deeper into the songs or something. And, no offense, the reflection in God seems a bit wonky... Very, very good, though.

BSM?

Like the graders have ever listened to Panic! At The Disco, or know anything about what the fuck I'm talking about. It's not about my translation of the songs, it's about how good my art is, how well the pieces fit together, and how they grow.

Wonky how? Like, the angle, or what? Cause I used a mirror to figure out the angle, but there was a cabinet right where I needed to stand, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was a little off.

And it's not really a "pass/fail" kind of thing, it actually doesn't affect anything. It just would have gotten me college credit if I got a 4 or a 5.

bandslashmania!

And yeah. i'd be surprised if they did listen to such an "adolescent" band.

And I think it's the angle... I think it should be more of a profile, so...

It's still quite good. :)

Well, I wouldn't really call it "fan art", so. I mean, the guy in this is not, I repeat NOT, Ryan. In fact, it's more like a bunch of semi self portraits because I used myself as a model for everything. They're just based off of lyrics.

If it was more profile, it wouldn't be reflecting from where he's standing. (The whole point is that his "friend" isn't real; it's him in his head, like Fight Club.)

WHY DID YOU ONLY GET A 3/5.

FUCK THAT NOISE, YOUR TEACHER IS ON CRACK.

JFC I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS.

meiloslyther July 14 2010, 09:47:28 UTC

Idk why I got a 3. AP graders are fucking lunatics. If my teacher had graded this, I WOULD have a 5. (Why does everyone think my teacher would do this to me?)

Thank you, thank you. :D

AP graders ARE fucking lunatics. [LOL I dunno, it was just the first thought that came to mind when you mentioned a school type project.]

KAY, SO THE AP GRADER IS ON CRACK. My statement has been revised. :3

♥♥♥

Haha, yeah. My friend got a 5 on hers and I am so jealous! But she is fucking awesomesauce, so I don't really blame her.

Most amazing fanart I've ever seen! I love how there all in Ryan's point of view. I really would love to have one, but I'm against taking art away from the artist.

meiloslyther July 16 2010, 19:26:47 UTC

Well, I wouldn't call it "fanart" and I never intended for the main character to be Ryan, per se. But thank you.

They honestly look better in person. So.

Haha, wow! ILY! <3

1) If you mean the black shadows, that was from where the paper stood up a little, but yeah.

2) Well, thank you! That is a really big compliment for me, you have no idea. (And yes, it is a Ryan eye. *facepalm*)

3) The pen was actually a tracing of my pencil. Haha! And the weather channel is my favorite4) Haha, I love the little pill bottle. And the five-o'-clock shadow was very last minute, but I thought it was appropriate. (I actually still really like the Smirnoff bottle, ahah ( ... )

Definitely. :D

So I just stumbled upon this and HOLY SHIT.
You're really talented.
Which, you (hopefully) already knew.
But I had to say so anyway.

I'm an art student myself~ but I've never done anything 1% as brilliant/badass as this.

I'll shush now, before I type out a ridiculously long rambling comment which would just be repeating what I said above.

meiloslyther August 8 2010, 19:37:11 UTC

I'm glad you think so because the AP graders sure as hell didn't. *is still pissed* I'm good, but not good enough for college, I guess.

Well, I'm actually kind of glad I'm going the pre-English route now that I've gotten my scores back. I only have to take one freshman English class, where if I had gone art-wise, I'd have to take an extra art class. :/ (I might end up taking it anyway, just because I love art, but. Idk. They might tell me it's for art majors only.)
