ChiaNi: I really really love the way you have rendered the fabric on that last one I spent a long time looking at it

Duracel: Was playing a round with high saturation but wasn't quite as daring as I wanted Smile

I wanted to spend more time on this but have to go to bed as is my Birthday tommorow (well tecnically now Smile

) so I need to get some sleep. I have reached the grand old age of 23 Smile

. It took me quite a while to work out how old I am which must mean I am growing older Wink

Duracel: I know I am this thread grandmom. Very Happy

I do think to put my head on the dead head. I am so much want to loss 15 lbs. But I think that sword maybe to cold for my neck.

Sumaleth: thank you. you know I am realy appreciate all your commend. I am dare to touch Mona Lisa.

Every time when I looking for next master piece to copy. My head keep telling me you can't do it. It impossible. Then my heart say try it. These how I been deal with my lately self potrait subject. I know My art still far away from master piece. But let me have chance to learn from those great master maestro how they handle light and color. It is quite exprience. I love it.

requiem-on-acid : Umm...using photomosaic on a picture of yourself is not considered a self portrait. Sorry if I'm wrong. Smile

CONGRATULATIONS, CHIANI!!!

Wow!!! I wish I could have seen the world premier.

Anywho, I think you should get your collage blown up into a nice big poster to frame and put in your place! That would be sweet...

So, instead of going to Disneyland...what are you going to paint now? Cool

Lionel · Posted: Mon Feb 17, 2003 4:14 pm

Sorry this one is a bit shitty seem to have plateaued recently :/. Hopefuly that means I will improve at some point soon since it always seems to happen in bursts Smile

Ines: I like it. How do you paint the packgrand?

Lionel: good color. Hope you feel batter.

Reakshun: I start another costume thread. That what I always want to do. Just didn't find the style I want to stick on. Now I find the way and time. It going to keep me busy to paint coustume.
