Yeah, I dno. Near as I can tell it's a painting from a custom hi-res texturepack. There are two paintings in the vanilla minecraft textures with Graham on them but this one is neither of them.
Hello everyone my name is Brian, and I hope this is okay to do, but I just wanted to take the time to post some of my artwork, I will have more video game artwork up soon, and I will also have some Sam & Max artwork up as soon as possible but till then, here are some samples of my latest works.
here is the scan for my first ever Galactus image...it's a 14 x 17 haven't done something this size in awhile.
scanned the top and bottom separately, both pieces were put together by britt...it's a tad bit pixelated when printed out, but I am very happy with it!
this is also a tribute to a comic book page a sort of recreation as you would say, also it looks much better in person i find, but that with every piece.
Ric Flair caricature drawing.
Walter White caricature drawing.
Lego Batman and Robin
some random quick superhero sketch card roughs.
Umm, Musically Inspired, that second pic you posted looks like it is an even lower resolution crop of the above artwork. Look at the ground/windowsill color and the black background. It's also Graham is in the exact same pose.
Do you have a DeviantArt account? Because those drawings are AWESOME.
thanks StrongBrush, glad you like the artwork , and yes I do it is http://www.artoftyph.deviantart.com/ I don't have anywhere near all my artwork on there though, I spend most of my time going on forums and posting art that way, i also have a facebook fan page which can be found at http://www.facebook.com/ArtofTypH
Sam&Max Freelance Police fan art, I wasn't sure what kind of piece I was going to make for them, but after thinking for a bit and doing up a couple of rough sketches, I knew I had to do the scene with them on the car from the intro of the cartoon, I hope you all enjoy it!
Yes, its a small portion cropped from the higher res version of the artwork.
I.E. the higher res artwork is the original artwork. The version in minecraft is just a cropped portion of the original artwork in much lower resolution.
As its states on the link I gave above the images were taken from paintings by Krisotoffer Zetterstrand, and he was the one who created ingame paintings as well;
There currently are 26 paintings in version 1.2.5. These are mostly based on paintings by Kristoffer Zetterstrand, who also created the Minecraft versions.
The link I gave shows the ingame paintings by Kristoffer Zetterstrand, and his paintings he based them on.
Hello, I've wanted to share this. But I've had no one to share it with.
Really nice. I like the way the Tardis looks like it's been through some serious damage (she's definitely going to have to regenerate after that ). What medium did you use to make this?
Thank you. The back ground was air brushed, I just sprayed down the planets and then put tin cans over them, and painted the back ground black. The ground was done the same way. Amy and the TARDIS were hand drawn. Very poorly drawn and then I used GIMP to color them and redefine them. Using photo references I colored them. Amy is actually a sprite. I like how the Tardis turned out too, the decay , rot is actually the jpeg under neath it. I took digital pictures of the drawings, I don't have a scanner. I kept it and worked with it because I liked it too. I wanted to add the fourth doctor but thought it was too much.
Farlander, beautiful sketch. I really like your portfolio. Thanks!
Thanks, I appreciate it
And on a side note... almost... there... (obviously there are some parts that need refining and fixing, like that annoying incredibly black shadow spot in the centre, but I'll get to it)
who friggin cares? i swear, this is one of the most anal retentive boards I have ever been too. Anyone care to debate the whether a painting of Connor qualifies as a KQ painting or if it is just a spinoff?
Looks to me that you're developing your own style. I like how you did the hair and the skin. If your sort of new to color like I am , I think you should try water colors too. I feel that water colors and colored pencils, crayons is a great place to start.
Use the cheap water colors in my opinion, the ones that you get with the coloring books. I like to use those for the stuff I share.
I was considering water colors initially, but I'm kinda lazy and there was a pack of colored pencils in the same art box, so I went with those.
The main problem I have with watercolors is that the way the color pools up makes it almost like a gamble as to whether the shading will look good or not. And this is probably because I have no idea how to use them properly.
Of course, my problem with colored pencils is that there's a fairly limited range in what you can do as far as mixing. I tried a bit with his eyes, but the green there still looks off from what I was trying for.
Ah, coloring... Unless it's a somewhat cartoony style, then I purely suck at it. I envy everybody who can do it properly.
Which reminds me. You should all see this. Made with 8 ballpoint pens. The only thing that I can say is... nothing, really. Well, maybe 'HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!', but that about covers it. I want to draw like that too...

That is scary good.
The only way I could do that would be pixel by pixel. There's no way I could do that with pens.
As some one who struggles as an artist...I think it's important that you find what works for you. That's what I tell myself and I try to remove any obstacles I see. I tell myself there is more than one way to skin a donkey.
I'm beginning to believe that It's not learning "how" to create something , it's creating it that matters. That's what artist do , they create, especially ones that find their own methods, style to making art. That's what they do, they create. So don't limit yourself in what you can't do, but build off what you can do. That's the definition of creativity! And I think as long as you have that inspiration and creative thinking then you can create anything you put your mind to.
To do something like that, get that look I would have to do it pixel by pixel, but I still feel that I could capture it. It wouldn't be easy, but it would be possible. But it would take me a very long time, probably a full day.
Look at it this way, if everything is digital now and printed off, then it doesn't really matter how you put something together, just as long as the end result has the desired effect.
But, I'm not trying to be preachy, what I'm suggesting is that you see past such limitations that I used to let myself be held back from. That is my philosophy on art, and I only need to post it once.
I try to focus on the picture , and the feeling of the picture. And the effect of the picture. Even if you can't paint, or draw like that, once you get down to pixels, anything is possible.

Holy crap. And this guy is just some random lawyer who likes doodling with ballpoint pens. How does this even happen?
Well, I was more going at the realism in the picture, too. I mean I have done pretty complicated things with pixel-like substances (cross-stitch), but never with such a limitation. Usually, I've got thirty or forty colors for that.
I think I'll stick to my oddly cartoony stuff for drawing. That and composing.

Monstro.
Decided to make a guy out of random rubbish lying around, and make a little stopmotion animation with my 3DS.

Here is what they took that second Graham painting from (modified though in version you posted, but it was inspiration);

On a photo some things just don't look right

I was working on a audrey hepburn piece but can't decide whether or not to have the deer.
Yeah, I kinda messed up on the eyes... and the collar... and the shading... and the mouth...
Honestly, I'm just happy that his arms ended up approximately the same size. Because that would be a first in my drawings.

I could never do that. Even if I had a million years and a store full of ballpoint pens and instruction books.
