Heroic Sitars: Crap Fan-Art (UPDATE: My Best Days & MORE!)

[Sitar 22,218]

I am not an artist.

I am not a graphic artist.

I am not a moving visual artist.

But sometimes I channel my Lana obsession into this because otherwise I'll end up writing fan-fic or carving her name into my arm--each a fate worse than death.

 

Take into account that my resources are limited to the Photobucket editor. With that, here are some of the ones I like (although for every good one, there are 5 hideous ones).

 

 

 

 

^ Intentionally pornographic because I have a fucked up sense of humor.

 

 

 

 

^ Dig that Photobucket approximation of Steelfish extra-bold, hmm?

 

 

^ Instagram pin-up, wasn't she?

 

 

^ A personal favorite.

 

 

That obvious font...

 

 

 

 

Those sizes are all over the place, sorry.

 

Perhaps you're one of 231 lucky folks who have seen my attempt at a video for Burning Desire

Thanks for clicking, y'all

Love Get Drunk and Pin Up Galore. You have a good eye for this.

[PrettyBaby 2,220]

Love Get Drunk, and use it! Good job on Lolita too, it's perfect. COTBR is new, right? Nice...

 

Awesome covers!

[Hello Heaven 1,578]

Woah, I dig that get drunk one. And the Lolita one is awesome too

[foxgrl 497]

a star for nick, get drunk, pin up galore are my favorites.

utterly beautiful.

The title of the thread is indigenous.

I don't think that's the word you were looking for.

 

Thanks for the praise, though! Oh wait...

[Sucker 7,916]

They're really nice! What I do recommend you tho, is to have a standard size. Like 500x500 or 600x600 which is the usual cover size. ^_^

Yeah, I finally figured out how to do that in Photobucket a few weeks ago: Resize, under Adjustment. Just type in the # of pixels and it does it for you (It won't even mess up the link)

Don't mean to kiss a$$ but all of those are pretty damn good. Love Lolita and A Star For Nick and Put Me in a Movie. Lol.

Thanks! Ha, don't really expect people to use these, but some of those sizes are just ridiculous--usually based on the quality of a given picture I decide to use. I'll try to fix it.

Not working for me

[ExoticFlower 892]

I love the put me in a movie version. It's so ironic with her pigtails and the baby pink

[PrettyBaby 2,220]

Not working for me

 

Did you click Apply? (I feel awkward asking this question of someone younger than me. Generally when I'm talking to someone older than me, though, this type of question is generally a good one. Never mind, of course you clicked Apply. Forget I asked.)

 

Have you upgraded to the "new" Photobucket? It makes editing smoother/quicker, and hasn't freezed up on me yet.

 

Sometimes it takes a day for your changes to show up in your links, so it might be "working" even if you can't tell yet. (Unless it's not "working" because it's not working for you to be bothered. Sitar, you're not using euphemistic language to say you can't be bothered, are you? I'm a problem-solver, dammit, and words like "not working" are like catnip to me. But wait, this isn't about me...)

 

Be blessed.

Oh, PrettyBaby...

 

I suppose I did have to wait a day for the changes to appear in the links. They're all relatively the same size now!

I love get drunk and lolita, looks perfect

[Sitar 22,218]

So for the, uh, defunct Paradise competition that was happening here, the last challenge before it died a fiery death was to design a perfume ad campaign for Lana. This didn't require much skill, but I thought I'd post it, cheesy tagline and all, since I put some effort into it:

 

Billboard:

 

Magazine:

 

[YUNGATA 14,955]

omg Sitar I really like that! The tag line is perfect. Have you considered going into advertising? Not even kidding that's a real elegant ad. wouldbuy/10.

Wow, thanks! That's actually never crossed my mind because I don't consider myself very visual...But hey, the seed is planted!

[HunterAshlyn 686]

I love the lolita cover.

I love the clips of Jimmy Gnecco in your Burning Desire video.

I love the adverts for the perfume.

 

WHAT THE FUCK.

 

Your really talented. You should invest in more software! You have a good eye for stuff like this. I'm with ataraxia about perhaps pursuing advertising.

[Sitar 22,218]

Okay so tonight I made the first artwork I've done in literal months, we'll see if I've totally lost it.

 

My Best Days and You & Me are total sistas so I made those with each other in mind:

 

 

 

And here's an example of my ideas sometimes getting lost in translations and turning hideous...I was going for ghost caught on film, but it's sort of just a blurry mess that I'll show you anyway because I'm a masochist:
