Wow... I love this. I don't think it has gotten nearly enough praise. I love the concept and execution. It is artists like you that inspire me to keep making art! I have neglected it for years until the past month... I'm still trying to figure out to use digital media correctly. Your work seems to have a certainly personality that mine is lacking, I love it.

Thank you!
Some people have an uncanny natural talent for painting/drawing, while some of us have a moderate natural talent but alot of persistence and passion. These last 4 years I've been very active and I've come to learn how much it pays off if you just keep at it. I try to challenge myself when doing one piece, just to give myself a break on the next one and just have fun. SOome people seem to believe that you have to be inspired and motivated, and that that feeling just comes to you, but I believe that you have to be very disciplined and just practice as much as you can. If a sketch is turning into shit, don't give up and wait for better days, just keep going and going until finally you find a way to make it work.

Years have went by and I haven't done so much as a sketch... for the past month I've been challenging myself to do at least one piece a day. There have been some noticeable improvements in my work. I would be honored if you would critique some of my work and give me your opinion.
I wanted to do another digital painting tonight... but the entire lower half of my screen is now covered in dead pixels... I mean it's completely black. Sooo... until I get a new laptop, I'll be focusing my efforts on traditional media.

I just started the transition into digital media a few weeks ago lol. I've really only ever worked with greyscale and pencil and paper. I don't have a very strong foundation in color theory or value. Which is what concerns me. The feature piece on my site is probably the best digital painting I've done in my opinion. Mainly, I want to know what tools you use in your digital pieces and which ones would be good practice in traditional media. Right now I'm a struggling free lance artist... lol.

What software do you use?
Regarding traditional media, you have to try different things. Maybe you'd prefer watercolors? Or maybe you are more of a pencil-artist than a brush-artist? There are many different categories within the traditional media. that have very different approaches and techniques to them.

Ummm... I've been using Corel Painter 11. I just upgraded to Corel Painter 12, I've only been using 11 for a few weeks... and 12 for a day.

Disturbing...
I love it. Everything is great: composition, color, everything. I usually don't like digital, because everything seems so perfect, so soft. But this is amazing, it's wonderful.
In parentheses, I'm suprised to see that somebody have used the word "cute" to describe your work. Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing your audience with ill intent, and I respect the opinion of everybody, but "cute" is the last word that I would have expected to see in a comment about a grotesque painting of a creature vomiting lavender juices, next to a lamppost.

Really like what you did with the background and lighting.

I love the dual lighting. So much emotion in this piece, dramatic lighting makes it so much more intensified. (Love his hands.)
