Ink pen artwork

[Cody Wedel]

Hi guys, I wanted to share some of my improv ink pen art with one of my favorite communities on the 'net:

 

Aquarium Universe:

 

Rocket Duck Takes a Trip:

 

Midnight City:

Artists never get enough credit for what they do. I like this, this is really intricate and well made. It's interesting with all the different parts working together.

Thanks all, I really appreciate the feedback. (I forgot I even made this thread!)

Any suggestions with different themes I should implement? I'm kind of stumped when it comes to art; I don't feel like I'm all that creative.

Well, since this is a video game forum, why not do something cool based on a video game world, like in Mario or Metroid or something? You could do some cool stuff with that I bet.

This is amazing!    Thanks for sharing!

I wonder what kind of art style this is? Is it just called ink pen art? It's very strange, and I mean that in a good way. It's crazy how much detail you put into each drawing. Very nice.

Thanks a lot! I'm not sure what you'd call it; I referred to it as "ink pen art" as I'd composed these with an ink pen on standard computer paper.

In any case, I'll be working on more soon so I'll be sure to post them. Thanks again for the kind words everyone.

 

Edit: how in the world did this topic get so many views? O_O

Hi all, just wanted to bump this thread. The links in my initial post have expired (postimg has changed hosts--I fixed the links) and I wanted to share both of these which were both whipped up yesterday:

Butterfly Effect

Emotions of the Desert

 

^ I also wanted to share this August 2016 doodle which I'll replace with a better-quality version once I get it back from my friend (this one was just a photograph--all of these were scanned).

Feel the Bird

The detail work in these are incredible! The collage effect and ideas are just a giant visual adventure through each piece! :D

Thanks! I appreciate the kind words, it truly means a lot ^_^

I'm working on my most ambitious piece yet. It's an improv piece on a wooden board (length and width of about 2½ feet). The drawings in this thread took maybe 3 hours each, but I've already invested about 5 hours on this board (it's probably only 20% filled). I'm proud of how it's turning out so far but it's a real doozy for sure. It'll probably be my most diverse collage yet!
