tiger, eyewoo, thanks! I was thinking about your fine art experiments with that one. It's funny how different they look zoomed out as opposed to 100%. I did not get what you were after till I saw them full size. How is the marketing going?

zhuzhu, I forgot one thing, work over an old painting, that helps a lot.

another inspirational spooge result. I humbly post this quickie from a while ago.

'tis the season to be snowy!

edit - great stuff swarm

this is what happens when you have a headcold and can't stand looking at the screen, fear my mighty no looking while painting method Very Happy

spooge... the fine art sales are going slow. I've only sold one "separation and loss," ... but interestingly to an artist/author named Rob Howard (wrote the "Illustrator's Bible"). He is a superb traditional artist who probably has about as complete an understanding of traditional media as is possible on the planet today... and he also is open to the digital media... Here is what he wrote on his forum ( http://studioproducts.com/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi ) after receiving his purchase of my piece:

"I just bought one of Phil's pieces and it does not attempt to disguise the fact that it is purely digital. It's not an imitation of traditional media, even though it's on paper. It is most definitely not about light, like a stained glass window, because it is ink on paper. It's its own thing and could not have existed unless it was done with a computer. This ain't your father's paintbrush!"

Made me pretty happy...

swarm,briscola,spooge...hell,everybody great work.sometimes ya just gotta draw skulls:

spooge demon · Posted: Wed Dec 24, 2003 2:50 am

stylesdavis, yes that was for NFS underground.

zhuzhu, take an old image, rotate it, paint out anything that makes it identifiable and start painting. Or a use a photo (not to do an overpaint, of course...) or a scan of a real painting. Real painting? Did I say that? Whatta slip�

Eyewoo, I don't know where the interest comes in assigning value to a work of art based on the tools to make it. I guess I am naive to think that this does not mean something to people, but I guess it does. Maybe you need to create credibility, and then tell people what to think, and they will! So maybe calling attention to the fact that it is digital is a good counterintuitive move.

I think you have a long road ahead, but you are articulate and have a conviction, so push onwards. I am too much of a recluse to do this. I just say oh, people are not interested, OK. I do something else. If I did not have to earn a living, I might not even paint on a computer at all, so much for my passion!

I thought of a good way to explain to people who, when you say you paint on the computer get that dismissive look in their eye like you are a grave digger or something. Some people balance their checkbook on the computer, some on paper. Same result, better tool. I take it upon myself not to use the better tool to make it easier to get fat and lazy, but to push onwards, blahblah blah.

Neat briscola, does homeworld have anything to do with freelancer?

I have started a sensible numbering scheme for the baron images that seem to be piling around my feet.

spooge... If you spun that checkbook analogy at me, I'd back atcha with, "Yeah, that's because the computer does all the work... just like it does for your art... ha!" Twisted Evil

Gotta be a better way... I don't think there is any analogy that will change the mind of a mindset stuck in the "way things oughta work." Gotta show them stuff that is gorgeous, beautiful, appealling, and couldn't be done in the same way with any other tool other than the computer... There is a lot of that look in this thread... for sure!

Beautiful work Digitaldecoy!

@StylesDavis
talked about your zombie-selfportrait
Like your horde picture, too.

Speedpainting, i did as a christmas-present for a friend call himself "Diogenes".
So you have to know, diogenes was a greek-philosoph who had the nickname "kyon"(=dog) and its told he was living in a tub.
So those are the two things i mixed in this picture. Wink
