Newbie w/ his Tennessee Artwork!

[TheSyxxSynse]

Hello all,

I thought I would introduce myself. My name is Dustin from Murphy, NC. I've been a Tennessee Volunteers football fan since 2005 (not the best year to start) and have been looking for a message board to share my thoughts, feelings, and love for my Vols with other fans like me. I think I've finally found a home!

I've also been looking to share something else with people who may appreciate it, my artwork. I recently finished a Tennessee Volunteers picture, which you can check out below. The original is an 8x10 piece on sketch paper using Prismacolor pencils and graphite.

What do you think? If you like and want to see more Tenn. Volunteer football art from me, let me know and I will post more when I can for your viewing pleasure.

Thanks everyone,
TheSyxxSynse

Yeah, thats one of the logo's I use to "brand" my work. People usually put those on their work to discourage people from saving the pictures on their own hard drive to claim that they did or or try to do anything with it without permission. I wanted to brand my football pics with my main art logo, but I haven't made a watermark of it yet. I usually use the Redline Racing Art watermark on my NASCAR related work, but it was handy so I temperarily used it here.

Cool! Thanks for explaining that to me.... When you draw some new Volunteer stuff (or any other stuff for that matter) post it for all of us to see. Might want to put in the Pub before the mods do it for you.... Good work!!

And to answer the question from doozer, no I don't sell my pictures. I would love to sell them to fans, but I couldn't do it legally. I don't know all the legal details, but I can't sell artwork that involves specific team logos, players, or any other likeness without paying a sizeable fee and getting permission from the specific party. I could of course sell it illegally, but I'm not one to break the law and if I got caught, any money I made from the pictures would have to go toward the hefty fine I would receive.
