Originally "inspired" by a suggestion from my independent study professor to paint something Egyptian. I've been looking at stacks of Egyptian books from the library while working on this image. Thoug ...

This painting was inspired by the title of a book by Douglas Adams: Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul. I haven't read the book yet (I was sorely tempted) because illustrating the book was not the point. ...

I finally think I am at the point where I can pronounce this "finished." As always those critiques I got in the EK Training Grounds have proved invaluable. Anyone who has stopped by that thread can se ...

Kitamard: Thanks. I do hope to do novel covers =)

Joe84: Thanks a lot. Yeah I know, I hate the loss of detail -but I still include it 'cause it does make the image look spiffy when I make prints.

I think I'm finally ready to call this "finished." As always, I'd like to thank the kind folks that gave preemptive comments and crits in the EK Training Grounds. The image below is a portrait of my f ...

I thank you for taking the time to replay, but please lay off the color scheme... There is no way I'm changing it because I think it works for the image. Sure you have a right to your own opinions -bu ...

I think I'm finally finished with this. It's another Snowmist (i.e., my fantasy world) painting. The premise is that the girl, Aneira, and her tiger, Bronwen, have managed to open up a door that leads ...

Exoudeous: Hmm you've got a point about the gloves, though I feel my last revision did help them (I added seems, wrinkles and a faint leather texture). The shirt doesn't really bug me enough that I wa ...

Antx: Thanks. Yeah you have a point about the glove thing, I'll see what I can do.

fae: Glad you like the composition. =)

I think I'm finally done with this. Thanks to those who gave me critiques in my "unfinished" work thread in the EK Training Grounds. It is partly due to their advice and encouragement that this one ha ...

Round with scattering for the basic leaf masses? Hadn't thought of that. Thanks for the info and I eagerly await your tutorial. =)

Actually I saw this on GFXartist a few days ago. I love it. It seems so dreamlike and nostalgic. I was wondering how you go about painting foliage... Do you use any custom brushes? If you do what sort ...

EPigeon: Awww thanks. I'm not sure what is going on around the spiderweb area either, but I kinda like it that way. Actually when I was working on it I did try to make more sense of that area, and did ...

*rolls eyes* Yes the footprints do make sense. (At least to me.) The guy rode the tiger there, ergo there is only one set of footprints until they reach their current position where the guy has dismou ...

I think you did a pretty decent job handling the values of the baby's skin, for the most part it feels like it has 3d form. There are a couple of things that are bugging me though. The first is the ha ...

I like the mood you have going there and the little creature's expression. Is that a wilted flower it is holding? I'd love to see the image with less visible lines and more of those richly rendered co ...

Interesting, the one thing that stands out for the most is nose which I think is nicely defined. Since I haven't seen the image you worked from I'm not sure how close it is. It does feel a bit homogen ...

I do like it. Though in my mind at least the "field of paper flowers" is a happy mental retreat -but there is something about the rain in this image that makes it a bit sad...Technically the only thin ...

Animusic: Thanks for the reply, glad you like it.

First image I've finished in a while that I can actually share. Certain others that I've devoted my time to recently are still tied up in contes ...

I love it. 'Tis one badass samurai rodent. I especially like his expression.

Hmm thanks AndyT, I guess that's not quite what I was looking for, but thanks for the thought and effort you put into your reply. And your critiques on my portfolio are right on. I am, of course, goin ...

I'm not sure if any of you will be able to help me out on this, but I thought it was worth asking. Let me explain: At the moment I'm a "General Fine Arts Major" (BFA) at a state university. Mainly, I ...
