Title: Lightning's Artwork of Insanity
Post by: LightningSam on February 10, 2016, 12:39:24 am
I figured I should share some of my artwork with the community.

Here's a dumb little comic I made a couple months ago. (Also, I know, Bam's arm tattoo looks sloppy, and I'm even missing one or two, sorry. I actually got into Bam stuff shortly after drawing this.)

That's exactly what I was referencing. :D

Anyway, here's a refsheet for Lightning, complete with her logo.

In my spare time, I was able to complete yet another playthrough of THUG1, and draw some Bamservice:

(Also, a background that was actually drawn for once, instead of using a screenshot? What is this? .....Technically, I did use a screenshot for the background, but I traced over it, so...)

Wondering how my Bam obsession came to be? Read below!

Quote from: The DA and Tumblr upload of this pic
For years, I never liked Jackass, because I always thought it was ?stupid? and ?had no point,? but I would still play as Bam Margera in all the Tony Hawk games despite this. But somewhere around December 2015 to January 2016, I decided to actually sit down and watch some of their stunts and pranks, and then my feelings started to change.

Yes, it?s stupid. Very stupid. And dangerous. But it?s the kind of stupid and dangerous that?s actually really funny. A group of men constantly getting themselves hurt, consuming and playing with bodily waste, and doing overall crazy things, but there?s actually a lot of fun and amusement to it, and even they know that what they?re doing is stupid and dangerous. And it actually becomes really fun to watch, and shows that living dangerously and gross can be fun. And even in-amongst the stupidity and gross-ness, they also pull off some very elaborate, brilliant pranks as well.

Then, I started to watch many of the other things that these guys have done, such as the CKY videos (which I ended up loving even more) and Viva La Bam (one of the funniest TV shows I?ve ever seen, and normally I HATE reality TV), and then I started to appreciate these guys for more than just ?hey, they were really cool in the Tony Hawk games?

And now here I am, obsessed with the Jackass and CKY crew, proudly wearing a Heartagram necklace, being addicted to drawing Bam, and often thinking about Ryan Dunn.

Today marks the five-year anniversary of Ryan Dunn's passing, so I felt I should commemorate with a sad tribute piece.

Lightning: "Well... this is awkward."

(This was a huge pain to draw. I love how it turned out, but drawing it was so excruciating.)

Sadly, yes. The remaining 0.1% of germs are clearly represented by Skatefilter5.

Also Sam, the drawing is dope. My reaction was something like this:

Going back to the cartoonish style. (I don't really enjoy drawing the realistic-ish faces.)

Thanks! I am too!

Also, even though I do love South Park, my current avatar is actually from the "This is Awkward" picture, which was when I was trying the "realistic" faces/eyes. (I was using the character designs from 60's/70's/80's cartoons as a reference and influence for drawing those faces.)

Nice work! I'm usually cringed out about fangirls, but the way you express it through art makes it seem funny, I like the one with the "realistic" heart thumping out. I'm a fan of the artstyle you've been doing consistently, but trying other things is always worth it.

Keep it up!

Thank you!

I also hate fangirl artwork too, but I try to do it in a way that's funny and likable, and makes others smile, rather than the cringe-worthy "here's a pic i drew of me with (celebrity name) i hope we get married someday" (And besides, in the end, Lightning and Bam decide to be just friends)

While I am obsessed with Bam and would love to chill with him one day, my crush on him isn't in an "I wanna marry him OMG" kind of way. Not at all. Even though he is cute, I obsess over him for who he is, through his lifestyle, his personality, his sense of humor, the projects he's made or been involved with, etc, as well as feeling sympathy for him and what he's been going through lately.
