About me: I'm 26 ,Canadian and a self taught artist.
My art: Always in pencil, I use my scanner to darken them so they stand out more.  I now use all sorts of differnt pecil weights and i am strarting to do more background work. I am also thinking about colour, but thats something i have to think more on.
What I draw and why:   Dragons: well we all know why.
                                            Women: I love the female figure.
                                            Swords: They are an honorable and deadly      weapon.
Inspirations:  Louis Royo, Greatest fantasy artist ever.
                         Frank Frazetta, he stared it all.
                         Olivia, a great pin-up artist.
                         Heavy Metal the magazine, just simply the best.

Leave a comment, as everyone likes to hear what people have to say about their art.

Hope you enjoy my art as much as I do.

I hopp, kepp it up Ryan Peers replies: "thank you....not all of them started as elves, but to get them posted on Elfwood i had to make their ears all pointy.." 24 Feb 2009 Nicholas A. Marchese Loading... I would usually appreciate criticism, but after looking at your ##$$$ crap, all I can say is get some talent before badmouthing others. Also I COMPLETELY AGREE with people’s comments that you copy other peoples Ideas, so GET SOME ORIGINAL TALENT. Ryan Peers replies: "aw, is somebody grumpy..." 24 Feb 2009 Márcia Esperança Loading... IF you like pantera you also like avenged sevenfold. and you’re doing great as a self-taught artist. Ryan Peers replies: "never heard of em’...and thanks" 24 Feb 2009 Fatima Ahmad Loading... u look like u r a very talented person u know. I didn’t even click on any of those. just looking at how many u have made me surprised. wow. do u usually have free time? Ryan Peers replies: "well you are supposed to look at them, and yes, lately i have had a lot of free time." 28 Feb 2009 Tausif Sabir Loading... I went through your gallery. I couldent help but notice all your pictures have a hint of death in them. Good stuff...keep it up! Ryan Peers replies: "yeah some, but when you read heavy metal, and listen to metal, usually it comes through." 2 Mar 2009 Scott Medchill Loading... Thanks for coming by my page and leaving a comment. I’ll leave a little constructive criticism; read on if you would like to hear it. You don’t seem to use proportions or ratios in you drawings. For example, I’ve read that the best looking figure drawings are about eight heads tall. One head’s length down to the middle of the chest, another down to about the waist, and so on. Some of your drawings look stretched out or disproportionate. Ryan Peers replies: "meh.. i do not look for perfection, i do what i do and if it comes out close enough, well good enough...i am not a mechanical artist...and i do not believe in photoshop..." 7 Mar 2009 Monserrat "DarkForever" Gutierrez Loading... The brown tint gives an impression of past times, keep the good work Ryan Peers replies: "’tis the scanner, i use it to darken me pics so they stand out more.... sometimes it comes out like that." 17 Mar 2009 Gabriella Lopez Loading... Thanks for stopping by, but I think you and I both have a bit of anatomy issues. You’ve got great ideas, but I agree with Scott Medchill, your proportions do look a bit off... I’m not saying you have to be perfect either, but the more you practice the better you become without having to use Photo Shop or anything.. Keep up to good work =) 17 Mar 2009 Fatima Ahmad Loading... you live in Canada? Ryan Peers replies: "yes" 18 Mar 2009 Joshua thejaguarking vela Loading... hey thanks for the comment..i did see narnia but the movie your probably thinkn of is The Golden Compass where the polar bear has the armour on and that pic was of 3 grizzlies...but your in canada so you should see your share of brown bears huh ..as one self taught artist to another..keep up the cartoons they look good ..you probably get hired doing some newspaper work.. Ryan Peers replies: "yep, that is the one....and ouch..cartoons...i like you." Page: [1] 2 3
