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.

natural or not, i really love your style, gnaws.

Good style man!! Its curvature is close be impossible!!

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.

Looks great!

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.

WOLFSBANE!!!!

as in the band?

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.
