Very simplistic. And yet, there is very little doubt in the illusion of depth. Amazing!

What Tie would like to know (thats me) is what is the thought process behind your landscapes? Where does the inspiration come from? I like the one with the lava very much btw.

Well in this case I used a method sometimes called "photobashing" where you throw a bunch of photos all over a canvas to create chaos. In that chaos you'll find shapes that you wouldn't normally think of! Here's what these thumbs looked like before I started painting: i.gyazo.com/366de0ef57ca0959a1…
However, with other landscapes paintings I take an image and blur it out completely to then use the colors as a starting point. Here's an example: i.gyazo.com/f76dbf05717b9d37a9… this turns into this: Caribou Trail
It all just comes down to having those first initial shapes! Like this for example: i.gyazo.com/40d0126895edea9952… <-- turns into --> Keepers of the Sun

Sorry I rambled on there xD

Whoa! ! No worries man ! ! It's ok. I honestly wasn't expecting such an in depth response ! I just couldn't help but notice you have such an interest in landscapes. This is how I'd be if someone asked me about rifles yknow?? I really like the idea of photobashing it sounds like a great way to whip up a creative background. Anyways amazing artwork please never stop doing what you do and have a wonderful day.


On a side note I really like your fairy. O^O

These are indeed some sexy thumbnails. Really love the colors and I can see your understanding of the principles of design very well. Great stuff! I'd love to see these thumbnails made into full on pieces. They'd look spectacular!

Your work focuses on solo characters so much that I forget you're actually really good at painting too!

The first two are my favourites. Smexy indeed.
