Philthy Drawings

[Philth]

As I dont have a photo thread, and prob never will, I decided to start a thread of some of my drawings. I apologise if you have seen some of these posted elsewhere or other threads that may have fizzled out.

This thread is open to compliments, constructive criticism, suggestions, complaints, name calling, flame wars, and what ever else you desire,(within AB rules;) ) but....

These drawings are not to be used for commercial use without my written permission. Please respect that before you steal them.

Some the best Ive seen, absolutely cool:clap: :clap:

[Ritzman]

I love how the Metallicas leg is cocked up.

So you use everything huh? Ink, pencil, charcoal, colored pencil?
Do you touch-up any images on the computer?
Do you start with a pic, or just conjure up the images in your head?

Fantastic pics. I always love some good art. :clap:

[ReMoVeR]

wow i swear i almost thought they were real Ts up on a paper sheet!

Amazing work!!!!!

Thanks everyone!

I pretty much just use colored pencil, or ink. The only touching up I sometimes do is clean the white around the spider to help it pop of the page. I wish I could conjure them up out of my head, but I use my photographs as a reference.

Very nice Tom....You have some of them in your book right? I didn't realize you drew them.....very nice! What did you use for the first two?


yes Gary, you've seen them in my book. (and my rib cage;) ) The metallica drawing I did when the only pic of a metallica on the net was a juvie on Rick west web site. I used a pic of a subfusca and had to sort of imagine what an adult would look like haha.

Martin

[Dreadz]

Wow those are some amazing drawings and way better than anything i could do.

[darkpredator]

Very intense, Great work! You should try doing a picture with a non-white background (yes I know that's a pain in the ... but if you succeed it looks awesome)

[ReMoVeR]

Hey Philth, here comes a challenge: Can u draw an avic versicolor? If it comes like ur other draws, i would love to see it =)

Tkz in advance,

//Tiago

[fartkowski]

Very nice drawings Tom:D

[calum]

great drawings man! you should do an avicularia versicolor.

:D

[pato_chacoana]

Cool drawings Tom! I did a couple a few years ago and never tried again. But I like more soft black pencils.

Holy wowness. I wish I could just draw a decent looking spider. But I cannot. Those drawings are freakin' amazing!!!!! :eek: :eek: :clap: :clap:

[Mike_23]

Oh, btw I want to see a drawing of a P.nigricolor sling. They are adorable and pretty:p

[Philth]

Pato, Your blondi drawing is sick!:eek:

I have a versicolor drawing but it sucks and need to be fine tuned. Chris got me thinking of Haplopelma's too hhmmmm......

[Mike_23]

Yay! that is pretty sweet

SIMPLY AMAZING!! nice work! :clap::clap::clap:

[olablane]

:eek: Wow Tom! I had no idea! Those are really beautiful! Now, you just need to learn how to use a tattoo gun!;) ;) ;)

If you start tattooing I want to be first in line!!! I need a P. Formosa on my left hand and a P. Irminia on my righ hand!!! You are very talented, put it to good use!

[Fluke]

Hey Tom, I really like that first metallica picture. If I find the perfect picture to model after- I will get a tat on the inside of my bicep. You keep posting these pictures I may have to ask for permission to use it:cool:

Pokie, walking mildly... black and white picture. maybe metallica in black and white or ornata. Something of that nature. ;)

[pandinus]

i dont have a scannner so i just had to take pictures so the quality & color is kinda washed out, but here's two pieces i did a few years back

Hello Philth:
The colors on the metallica/formosa work very well! Very impressive! Are they the Prismacolor color pencils by any chance?
My one critique is that they looks dang near real except, particularly the formosa I am not 100% buying the leg positioning/proportions...left 1-2nd and right 3rd.(based on the times I've tried drawing T's that is the hardest thing to get down). If you have the photo you based it off of that would be interesting. I think the formosa colors look more real than the metallica, musta spent alot of time on the carapace!

Ever thought of drawing a Singapore blue?

Mad props!

[Philth]

Thanks for embarrassing my metallica drawing John, Really nice !:worship:

Hi Thanks for the honest critique.They are the Prismcolor pencils, by far my favorite. I had to kind of make up the colors on the metallica , when I drew it there were no pics of an adult available at the time. So the metallica is more "made up"

I generally dont like to show the photos I used for a reference , becuase you'll see all my errors and realize the drawing kind of sucks haha. But I'll make an exeption just this one time ...

there's nothing wrong with your metallica! i think you did good with the formosa, the only difference is more yellow in the photo, but even that isnt that noticable either. i love my prizmas i'll never go back to standard color pencils again.

sometimes i dont like to post study photos because i dont always use my own and i dont want someone to be like "hey you stole my picture A****LE!" lol



John

[pato_chacoana]

Great drawing of that formosa Tom! You managed to enhance the colors really well. It's by far more interesting than the picture itself!

I'm glad you like my blondi :) , I should practise more though I only made those two
You made want to draw again hehe :D

[dtknow]

Hello Tom,Thanks for posting the reference photo! It is a really tough thing to draw the 3D positioning of legs accurately(particularly for the T that has its legs at steep angles instead of just sprawling on the ground!). I've been playing with a rather standard set of pencils but am tempted to try the Prismacolors to see what difference it will make. Price is sort of puttin me off though! I like it when people critique my artwork so I figure the same would go for you. :) Joseph

[Tweak Sairaxx]

Very nice work, keep it up!

[alchie 8]

found this a yesterday; it's pretty crap and most of the graphite has been washed out.

[pandinus]

hmmm. haplopelma spp?

[calum]

I'm not even sure lol.

I think It started life as a cyclosternum fasciatum then ended up as a haplopema albostriatum... type thing.. It looks pretty haplopelmish because of the striping on the legs.

[Warren Bautista]

it looks like the haplopelma from helll!;P

I want to see an avic or an h. mac next. ;P

Prismas are ABSOLUTELY worth the price. If you buy them, make sure you pick up some extra colorless blenders. They're horribly addictive and amazing.

Philth-
I'm gonna be posting some of my artwork soon, but my goodness you are incredible. *drool*

Tom, You've got some killer drawings, there! I am in awe.... I like the frequently posted photos as well of spiders and breeding projects. Keep 'em coming!
Your avatar is hilairious. Some time back I saw your pic. on "who's behind the camera" but forgot that soon after. Now, everytime I see a post I just imagine chucky as the author, imagine him running from enclosure to enclosure checking on the t's + answering the door at home with knife behind back. Hidey ho! Between yours and Anastasia's bright-eyed sunbeam girl chowing on a mesomelas (my wrong id?), I don't know which is funnier. Good stuff, y'all. Love it!
