Thanks. Are you asking for free usage or are you offering to pay?

i think this would look great if you put a little blue around the boarder of the continent and have it fade into the white of the background.
either way though
mad skills. mad

Cheers for the fav

That is great. You obviously know how to use a real brush extremely well. Your skills with a computer brush I have already seen were quite amazing.

Thanks a lot. There's something about the tactileness? of a real brush, that I miss. Jumping in and being really loose, in the early stages, is quite nice.

you know when I first saw your gallery I was like "wow this guy has awesome photographs" and in the past couple of weeks I'm thinking to myself "damn this guy can paint!" This is a great painting man, it says just an idea for a logo...did you eventually make the final product? I love the blue you added, give it something, I don't know - that artistic touch

Thanks very much. I wish I felt the same, but that's probably a good thing. It keeps us improving.
These last few are from about 10 yrs ago. I found some old photo's of them and scanned them in. Looking at them, and some others that didn't make it, I wonder if I've lost something along the way. There are some really nice bits here and there, some nice fresh painting, without too much over working.
And no, I never used the logo. I tried a few things, like letter heads, but I never got it to look right. I only had an Amiga 1/2 MB and no decent art progs. I had to use the libraries photo copier. Ahh, you lot don't realise you're born, the hardship, hehe.
Also, I'm starting to think that I should pick up the brush again. It's been a yr since I last painted on canvas and not digital. I'm waiting on a decent commission atm, so if I get that, maybe that will be the push I need.

commission or none I would LOVE to see your mad skills in action! you need to do it for yourself and let the art speak for itself (I think) It's always good to look back at previous work (past victories...and defeats) and have it inspire you to do more work later on! and you should totally upgrade from that library photocopier haha I'm sure it didn't do you work justice!

Mad skills, lol. Don't worry, the photo copier was a long time ago.
The only reason that I'm waiting on the commission, is that these people have bought before and were very keen on a large piece. That was a month ago, so I should hear soon. I don't want to start one and have to stop half way through. I like to get them done in one continous hit, if possible. I won't stop painting, I daren't, I get all strange in the head without it, hehe. I'll just carry on with all the digital paintings , while I wait.
I agree, we do need to do it for ourselves, but it can be adjusted slightly, to allow for what we think may sell. It hasn't worked to often yet, though,lol.
