Hello, old NIMH fan here, got some art to show among things

Hello, I use to go by Ravepro in the old days and had a couple elaborate

webpages that I never updated. Maybe some of you remember me. I also
have a couple art work stuff at thornvalley, like the NIMH Soup Label.

I alread showed these to Gregg and OKed it for thornvalley.net, but I might as well show it here.

They are sketches I did of Brisby by pausing the vhs. THese were done
along time ago. Even though I put 1997 them, I think they are much older
than that. Some of them have shading, I wish I didn't do it.

Here's the gallery:

Glad you guys got a phpBB forum up, they are nice. I just finished my
forum too. Basically left the same default theme, but I changed the top.
Maybe I could help out to change the header here to better match
thornvalley.net's design.

You can see what I mean by how I changed the header by visiting my site
here: www.toonguru.com

I haven't been on the NIMH scene online for a while. Mainly because I've
been hanging with the Cats Don't Dance fans like Shelley Pleger, you've
seen some of her work in the fanart area here too.

That reminds me, here's some old art by her that's been down because of
my old site. I'll be keeping these for my fan art section whenever I get my
NIMH page back up.

When I get my toonguru.com site under control, the front will look more
like this and hopefully a NIMH page like my CDD page there: http://pages.sbcglobal.net/timothyb/index.htm

Also, I might as well share some of the Cats Don't Dance art I've done too:
http://www.uploadit.org/gallery/10520

I have another CDD piece I'll post later.

Wow, I had a lot to say there.

Also, if anyone asks, my middle name is Timothy and my first is Brian,
that's where I get my nick TimothyB, it's just a plus that it looks like Timothy Brisby :)

Glad to be here,
TimothyB

Welcome TimothyB! Glad to have you back! And thanks for sharing the artwork with us; very cool.

Yeah... I've been meaning to get around to making the forum match the rest of the site, but I've just been too busy/lazy of late. Also I'm playing with the idea of doing a site redesign (yes, again), so I'm thinking of waiting until I do that before changing the forum.

Anyway, If you'd like to try your hand at it, be my guest.

To TimothyB,

As a fellow contributor to this very site, I just wanted to say that I love your work.

:D :D

Sorry I've taken so long to you respond guys. My main computer has been
down for a while as I wait for my new card and so on.

Glad you guys like my artwork and my old site. I also see you've added
the sketches to my art section, thanx. Oh, yeah, I probably do want to
have my name changed to TimothyB instead of the Ravepro.


Guess what, I've started on a NIMH drawing finally. Mainly just a portrait
of Brisby. This time I took time to make sure it looks great, just like my
CDD drawings. As an example, I drew a page full of quarter sized heads
till I felt I got something that looked enough like brisby, most the time when I
drew her from memory she always came out too young looking.

Here's a touched of photo preview before I scan it in and color it and
add some kind of background:

So I hope you are all looking forward to the final version of
this drawing as I am.

Also, I have another special item to share, never released to the net till now.

A special collage background of Brisby for your desktop. This is one of
my favorite backgrounds. Plus, for a collage, it feels like it's one piece and
never just a bunch of images thrown togethor.

Here's a small preview, but it looks much better fullsize:

Click below for the full 1600li1200 version:

I added a grain across everything to help make them look more as one,
as I had to scale images and shrink images in the design, so I couldn't have
one spot with larger grain and another spot with smaller grain.

Hope you enjoy this background.

Also, I mentioned I'd have another CDD artpiece to show.

I have it done and online now. It's a drawing of Sawyer based on a shot from No Doubts music video "Its My Life"

Here's a link to a pic of the scene I copied for reference:

Here's the final drawing, 1600li1200:

Anyone here like Cats Don't Dance?

Hey Timothy B.,

You seem like you're a man after my own heart. You and I seem to be kindred spirits in that we both seem to share a love (if not infatuation) with Mrs. Brisby. She is hands down, my favorite character in the movie and I must say that your artwork really seems to do her justice. Keep up the good work...

Peace

Yo TimmothyB!

Just wanted to say that I adore your work and that I am also a HUGE fan of Mrs. B as well as a great cxharacter she has a wonderful voice that is just so....right for her. KEEP IT UP!

Hey Timmy B, Thanks for your great art. And for that background! Very nice indeed.

Heya Ravepro...sorry, you'll always been known as that to me. Great images, and great webwork as always.

Hello Timothy B.,
the portrait and the collage are excellent pieces of art and the rest of your work don´t need to hide behind them. Very well done.
