Not a real painting like Vern's, but what we have in common are the years since attempting any kind of natural media.

I've been playing with cardboard, markers, & white-out for the past few weeks. This weekend I added some digital painting.

As I said, not real painting, just........baby steps.

C&C welcome.

I love that style. It's a style I always wished I could do. I am too much a realist and have trouble achieving that kind of free... wild... and "spontaneous" type of art work. I can see it in my head but I have trouble getting it onto the paper or screen.

I agonize over details and realism too much and it gets in the way of doing something "loose" and "free". I am too tightly wound I suppose.

I think that is why I adapted to the computer so quickly. I could draw a vector shape and it was PERFECT. No more airbrush masks and spilled paint.

I like it... it's got a lot of personality, the style is very evocative, and the composition is really nice; lots to look at, but not so busy that it takes away from the central theme. Really, it's very well done.

HA!

No, just wanted to throw in some werewolf-related typography.

I'm not familiar with "Wolfbane's" body of work. Something about the name makes me guess they're not fond of fiddle playing.

I could be wrong.

They were an 80's typical hair metal, sort of punk band. I think. I had a cassette once - got chewed up and i lost my childhood memories, and the long hair. Now i like MUSIC!

Hey, love this piece. Really nice composition. Like the colors, texture and all the rest.

Thanks, Burt. I recall from some other post that you've been playing with the same program I used to "paint" this....ArtRage.

It's an awesome app, isn't it?!? And for $20!!?!

=G

Awesome indeed - you should post it on the ArtRage forums as well.
