Second!

Cool guys, one last thing, just in case you're wondering in the second one, it's honda doing a sumo headbutt, but shadowed over

As some of you know, myself and my band had our first performance to a crowd on Friday in the school talent show.

Here's our effort:

Crappy camera and the school's electronic drums are quite basic, but you get the idea.

That was pretty well done, fair play Played that once or twice with my own band, we didn't like it much though. Not sure what part you were playing there, but the drums/bass/guitar trio played together very well, and I enjoyed the guitarists' clean tone especially!

Keep on going and hone your performance now

EDIT: just saw your sig! Very nice drumming, if ye missed a beat at all I didn't notice it!

Currently working on a short animation in Flash, just to practice drawing. Happy with how it looks so far

Davidius

Flash animation, now there's something I'd like to do myself. If only I were not so desperately poor.

Then I'd get to submit terrible stuff to Newgrounds and insist that I'll make better ones if they vote 5/5.

More portfolio....I have to do a "study" on one object for my portfolio and present my "studies" on fifteen "sheets of information". It's all a load of bull but you have to do it! Being the weirdo that I am my object is a pheasants claw...lots of people in my class are doing sheep and cow skulls though....not long now until my interview. Sorry if this is massive!!

D4RK ONION

That is incredible. I wish I was that talented

Some serious drawing talent there, Arcade Panda! Is that portfolio for college entry of some sort?

Wow, Panda! Amazing yet again. If you don't get into LIT, there's no hope for anyone!

Anyway, we've finally got some music with vocals on our band myspace, so anyone that wants to give it a listen, I'd love to hear some feedback

Lil tip: Play it more,the drum and guitar kind of drift out of sync in places.

And maybe up the music a note,it'd probably fit better with your singer voice.

Really good for a first song though,all you need now is a mullet and a facemelting solo and your set.

I think that might be something to do with our recorder, all of the instruments were on separate tracks, and may have gone slightly out of sync when we "bounced" them together...

Or maybe I'm just making excuses

As in, make it higher? Take everything up a fret or two sort of thing?

That's strange, cause the girl our singer goes to for lessons told us we're forcing her to sing too high, and to take it down a notch.

So who do I believe? Think I'll go for the compromise and leave it exactly as it is

I like! Singer is very good, and [whatever instrument you play] in particular was excellent.

I made this for my Junior Cert. wood project a couple of years ago. I thought Calvin Harris's album cover was cool and went from there!

Nice song Bob! Quite a good recording too, I think What gear did you guys use? And your guitarist? Sounds nice!


Anyways, I just wanted to say, in my opinion, although your singer is very good, she seems to be singing way low. Like, I'm a dude, and I sang along with her and it felt low even for me. There's no way that can be 'too high' for her, considering she's female. Just my two cents!

Colm!

I'm currently writing a series of poems, some of them are on my blog, don't want to reveal my blog until there's stuff worth reading on them.
Basically, I want to create a series of poems, one for each month of the year. It may be related to a concept I relate to that time, or an experience I had then.

Here are two of them:

december

the photograph I took last december
didn't look like the picture hanging on the wall.
whichever soul painted it
must start and paint again.

I stood outside in the frozen world
and took a photograph
as snow engulfed the ground beneath us
and the world turned to ice

I found an old machine.
And I used it to capture the scene.
Frozen in time, as cold as the night,
Is the photograph I took, shining bright...
a light in the darkness of my mind,
the photograph reminds me of that split-second
in time.

The painting differed in one way.
Not only was I captured in the image
There stood some soul by my side.
One is an idea, one is a record.
Neither of them seem to be true.
Did I lose my way, some cold December?

So I'll take a brush in one hand,
and erase the image of what never was.
I do not know who created it,
but I will destroy it.

And leave only a photograph of a frozen moment.
Frozen in time.
Eternal.

(fwiw, here's a photograph I took in January (yes, I know the poem is a bit wrong there) that inspired the poem http://i28.tinypic.com/292xiq8.jpg )

june

hope.
ascend to new heights.
discover new worlds.
see the world through new eyes.

hope. it brought me there.
on that night, June
I climbed the mountain
opened my eyes
and looked below

I saw nothing.
surrounded by mist
I saw only
the everlasting glow
of the sunlight
shining down
on the world below
and giving us
hope.

You didn't even see the sun fall from the sky.
Do you remember? That night? June?
You didn't even see the mountains below.
Have you forgotten? It all? The world below?
You didn't see anything.
Had you seen it all? And forgotten? Lost your hope?
You didn't believe you'd see it.
You only had to believe. Can't you remember?

stand amongst the clouds
and look down
realise that you've got nothing
other than what you've been given.
hope.

Since arts are being crafted I'll throw in a doodle I did recently that I actually liked so much I kept it, which is a rare thing for me.

Thanks man

You mean recording gear? We're lucky in that we've got a relative of the guitarist who really wants us to do well, and he happens to be in the money aswell :pac: So a few months ago he surprised us and bought one of these


And it's the balls

I'll keep that in mind, and while I didn't notice it really before, a few of you have pointed it out now, and it's obvious, thanks

Here's an acrylic painting of some zebras that I painted



And here's a portrait I did of Dexter Holland from The Offspring. His eyes are a bit (actually...very) wonky...must fix that...eventually!

"Sing a Sad song for those who are gone,
You won't wait long for those who carry on."

This has been in my head for the last few days,is it from a poem?or a song?
I've no idea where I heard it,but I'm pretty sure I didn't make it up.

lil help?

I've been working on the series for some time now, as I've just hit 11 posts on my blog I've decided to start advertising it: http://asisaidiwould.blogspot.com/
Four of them are there, I'm hoping to do more before I leave for IC.

It reminds me of the start of a John Montague poem we did, I think it's The Locket. It's starts off something like "Sing a sad song, for the lady who is gone, fertile source of something something.

If you want I could send you a copy on some glossy photo paper, but I don't really know how to do prints otherwise. I think the site I uploaded it onto (deviantart) do all kinds of prints but, to borrow a Black Books quote, "Don't make me sick into my own scorn". It's all to do with money and royalties and things I can't even begin to pretend to care to understand.

That would be putting you to trouble then. I was just saying that you could make money from your doodles if the are all like that.

Ok, so I was practising drawing hands last night, and so, for funsies I decided to have them spell a certain internet site :P

Sorry about the shíttyness of the picture, it's taken on my phone as I have no camera



And, I know, the 's' is terrible, but you try making an 's' shape with one hand! :P

Bobalicious93

Sorry to pimp the band again, but we just put 2 new songs on the myspace page, any comments would be appreciated

jefreywithonef

The first two are pretty good, I like the singer's voice.

Something happened to my webpage which made Rivers and Rocks play three times over each other, with about one second in between each of them. Turned it into an epic wall-of-sound, lost shoegazing classic.

norwegianwood

All great except the drumming, which was a crock o' shìte. Get rid.

Finished this rococo-style wallpaper design today, I'm going to be using it in the background of a drawing I'm working on. Happy with how it turned out, though getting it to tile properly was confusing.

The egg with the musical notes around it wouldn't happen to be a link's awakening reference would it?

Not intentionally, but yeah, it does look like it's got something to do with the Wind Fish with the notes and those wings underneath it! It's a reference to another game that appeared on a Nintendo console, one with bears, backpacks and jigsaw pieces.

So, I finished that drawing! Here 'tis, if you'd like a look. Sorry for double-posting, by the way.

UP shoes!

yeah, I know the pictures don't match-up but meh..


I don't know what to do with the sides yet though...and I don't have sealent so they're not waterproof.

You could draw badges on the side like the ones that Russell has on his sash? I dunno if that helps:)





Seriously cool idea btw!

Oooh thats a good idea! I really have to get the "grape Soda" badge thing in somewhere too. I got the idea off Deviantart (I don't have an account I just look) there are some seriously cool ones hand-done shoes there.

Could you put up a link please? I'd love to see!:) Where do you get the pens and stuff?!

illiop

Here!

These are the only other "up" ones I've found, aren't they amazing?

I started off using acrylics, that's what most of the ones online seem to be done with but I found it difficult to apply so I started using my markers. I can't think of the name right now (and they're downstairs somewhere) but they are they are in most art shops and definately in the "art and hobbies shop".
They do tend to bleed a little though and are probably not the best for the job but they were just what I had. I would recommend painting a layer of white over the shoe first because they bleed less that way.

The shoes were just €3 in Pennys. They aren't waterproof and I'd imagine sealent is expensive...but mine don't really fit me anyway so that doesn't matter!

Arcade Panda

Those Up shoes are amazing! I'd love to do something like that, there are some pretty funky Pokémon ones aswell!:cool:

Thanks a million! I'm going to go into Silkes in Limerick and see if they have anything in there. I'm all excited now:)

The only other Creative Writing thing I've done was a silly Irish song about a bigamist

I've only just re-found this.

A silly song I wrote like a year and a half ago (no one will read this, will they? )

If anyone knows it, I set it to the tune 'Courtin' in the Kitchen'

Come all ye gather round
And listen to me tale
Last night was homeward bound
But i stopped and had a wail
For I bumped into Eileen
She asked what I was thinkin
I says to her; “You know, you don’t look too bad after drinkin’?”

With me toora loora la
Me toora loora laddie
A-toora loora la
And me toora loora laddie

I moved in a bit closer
To satisfy my hunger
She said “Do you like fish?
‘Cos you smell like a fishmonger”
At this I took great hurt
She said “I’m only jokin’”
She smiled and she laughed as my face she started strokin’

With me toora loora la....

She led me by the hand,
With this i was uneasy
A Colleen dragging Paddy could look, to others, sleazy
I entered to her house
As we kissed one another
As she turned on the light, standing, staring was her mother

With me toora loora la....

Well she raised up a broom
And madly started screaming
So I ducked and I manoeuvred and said, “I best be leavin’”
The mother wouldn’t budge, so I pushed her out the window
I thought that she was dead, until in the door she walked so

With me toora loora la....

And so I stayed the night, outside I left me carriage
Awoken by her mother, say’s “When will be the marriage?”
Since you are acquainted with my youngest daughter
If you do not wed her, then by god, there will be slaughter

With me toora loora la...

So later on that day, to her I vowed to marry
With her mother still in pain, to the pub I had to carry
I dressed meself all nice as I went to pop the question
But my suit it got all ripped by an eejit at the session

With me toora loora la...

The wedding day it came, i prayed for no disaster
I grinned as I looked over at her mother all in plaster
The priest he said to me “Will, as your bride, you take her?”
When in my marched my wife and says “No he bleedin’ won’t sir”

With me toora loora la.....

Chaos did ensue, with everybody screaming
I said “Will you shut up? And just listen to my feelings:”
“One wife is too few, and three wives is too many
But two seems quite alright – just Eileen here and Jenny

With me toora loora la.....

So now I’m left with none, but the best of both world’s sampled
Of wives I’ve had a few, as my wealth it is quite ample
But Eileen’s always special, To me, she’s like no other
And the icing on the cake, was the passing of her mother

With me toora loora la....

If you read all of that, fair fúcking play

I just read all of it.

Now, I insist that you a) link me to a version of the original recording of "Courtin' In the Kitchen" and b) record a version of your own lyrics and post it in the Soundtrack to Your Angst thread
