Post them! Unless it's a technical drawing, I can't draw to save my life.
Love this thread.
Love this thread.

That feel when I was just going to post some pictures that I drew on my iPad before looking at the quality of the other submissions in this thread
Post them, I have had a go at drawing on the iPad and just completely gave up.
Nowhere near as good as some of the stuff people are doing in this thread but I make Costumes and props, example of the Aquawoman armour I made for my daughter for Comic con last year below.

OK then. Here are some comic book themed pics I drew with my iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil.
Using the standard Notes app to sketch and then another app called Procreate to ink and colour them. I spent a long time learning as I went to be honest. And I've still got a ways to go. But I have a real good time drawing comic book characters mostly.
So long as you enjoy it that's the important part I think.

Cool, nice one I couldn't do that. Batman one is great like from a really stylised comic
Thanks guys! Really appreciate the kind words. Drawing is great as it seems to use the other side of my brain to my work. Meaning that it's very relaxing and zen. As lame as that sounds lol.https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18681768
I've used it a fair bit since making it and its holding up well.

I believe you may have a promising future in America.

Great to see this thread active and such a varied array of posts too
Customised desk and DIY PC Display stand
You may have seen this before in other threads but here goes ... I like my stuff to match. I was never going to buy a desk remotely resembling what I was after so I elected to go down the modification / DIY route. It started life as one of these:
It was chosen as it was small and sturdy, not for it's looks. It was heavily modified to include a shaped front section and side pieces made from MDF and covered in thick, durable and textured blackboard vinyl.
The monitor shelf was made in a similar fashion and includes some front blanking pieces to give it it a better visual appearance.
The height adjustable tilt/swivel mouint was built into the the shelf to avoid wasted space taken up by a large monitor stand:
This has a supporting strut underneath running the entire length which includes cutouts to allow cables to be passed through.
After buying a new windowed case, I realised I'd need to make something to raise it off the floor. I built this display stand, using the same basic design approach adopted for the desk:
I was a little concerned about the stability, but this has proven to be completely unfounded as the protruding legs help to stabilise it.
Very happy with how this turned out:
The display stand is a relatively recent addition. The desk mod is a few years old now and holding up extremely well. Blackboard vinyl is a material I use in most of my project builds now.

Which Con did she (you?) go to? The armour looks good, have you got any pictures of the complete armour? I did LSCC last year as Russell (from Up!) and planning on going LSCC this year as Roadhog (from Overwatch).
