Thanks!! I really wish I had more time to work on art at this point in my schedule. It seems I spend more time managing the publishing process than actually WORKING on my project!

*Nods* I hear you there dude, and am with you al the way. I have an art trade that should have been done a long time ago, but have had little opportunity to work on it due to other pressing matters, and my dire need for a vacation. I'll be keeping an eye out for more of your work though.

This is incredible, expecially the face.

Nimrond In reply to Tattered-Artemisia [2007-03-31 22:39:58 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! His face was really fun to do! I had to use about five different photo references before I found all the bits I used to help me make it. An eye here,..a mouth there,..the spines from another, a unique snout,...etc... I then put it all together and when I paint it,..all the elements blend into one whole quite nicely. I then add the extra features, like the extra lighting to make the eye really special and deep, bringing out the mouth a little more and giving him a bit of a human-like expression at it's edges... that type of stuff...

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Nimrond In reply to Remial [2007-03-31 22:24:59 +0000 UTC]

Ha ha!!! No,..no,..you KNOW that I MUST use some awesomely porky bullfrog if I'm gonna do one of those plump "rub my belly", happy-buddhas correctly! (unless I do one of those more svelte Thai buddhas with the pointy hat....)....

By the way,..is that guy's name from your quote actually Willian ....with an "n"?

Remial In reply to Nimrond [2007-04-01 03:58:48 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I agree a massive bullfrog would be more the buddha type. Still, that doesn't change the fact that you must do one !

And yes, his name is actually "Willian". Odd as it may seem.
