Description It's not easy for me to make a color portrait from balck & white reference picture. I ended up spending months on this work which was drawn in Photoshop CS3 [ and the glitter from [link] was added on the background ] This is a portrait of Mr.Natwut Amornvivat who is an engineer, a CEO, a lecturer of a university and a TV host of a famous talkshow in Thailand. He's amazing.

  Another New Year ..."Another new year is here ...
Another year to live!
Let go of worries, doubt and fear,
Let us love and laugh and give!
This new year is given to me
To live every day with happiness ...
To grow up every day and try to be
As good as I can!
I have the opportunity
Again to fix the mistakes
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And to sing more joyful songs ”
William Arthur Ward

Ah sorry Buddhist...
Getting troubles when differentiating between eastern religions, poor me living in within christians :/

I had a time when I read/heard very much about Buddhism, it somehow pretty much attracts me.
That were/are wierd thoughts for me coz I actually dun believe in this sort of explanatios of the world.
But I think Buddhist have the most 'sympathic' way of living compared to all other religions.


Wooh i pretty much strayed from topic xD

You're right, dA is supposed to be a place for all and everyone.
Let's spread the love!

cheers,

Most Thai people are Buddhist, so do the Burmese, Laotian, Cambodian and some other Asian countries. I guess many Hindu are found in India. I'm proud to be Buddhist because I think Buddhism is scienctific religion. Buddhism's God is nobody in heaven above but law of nature. You are friendly and have good heart too, bro. And yeah let's speard the love!
