gimp with a mouse?? BADASS.
The piece is incredibly atmospheric, and I have to agree with the "visceral" thing. very raw and emotional.

This one is quite good! Again, the image has lots of depth, and there is a lot of detail visible. The composition is more balanced then your other work. Love the suggestion of shape in the background of the image, in the atmospheric fog. My crit on this one would be the placement of the character, it almost looks like it is floating in the air besides the road, i think it would be better if it was one the center of the road, also, were is the light comming from? it looks like there is light comming from out of the image on the left side, but it doesn't fall on the character, also, the rocks on the right are recieving more light then they should. Other then that, i think youve did a great job on this image! Lots of easter eggs in it as well i see

Thanks once again for great critique! This image could have been so much better with stronger lightning! But it's quite complicated, it's not just darker or brighter colors. I will have to experiment more. As for the guy I wanted it to look like he's on the edge of a cliff or something. That's why he's where he is.
As for the tablet I'm gonna order this one:

In a few weeks. I was considering "Wacom Bamboo" but after I heard you need to change the tips every week or something I got discouraged.
I need a very small tablet, I'm used to working on a very little space with a high DPI mouse. I tried A4 sized tablet and it just didn't work (well it was not compatible with my OS, too... so I gave it away)

Good grief, that is awesome, and to be done w/ the mouse on top of that. Bravo

Wow, that's amazing!
As a rookie digital painter using GIMP, it's really inspiring to see what can be accomplished with it if you just learn how to use it correctly. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for the "wow smiley" ! These I really like. I checked your traditional work and with a bit of patience, experimenting and dedication you are bound to produce nice digital work in some time if you stick to that goal.

Thanks, I'll sure try.
My problem lies more in finishing my art projects than in anything else, actually...what I have lying around here on dA is definately not the best I have to offer.
I've had to dial it down considerably and reprioritise my reasons for drawing and painting at all after I lost the spark over a decade ago. Long story.
Short version: I'm back, but I have to really Chill in order to stay back. Still, I am hoping that this digital project of mine will revive my past joy for creative endeavours and in doing that, help me develop my skills.
Thank you for encouraging me!

I love that gritty, dirty, almost rusty look. The foggy background makes it look even more mysterious. Excellent work!
