Description ok i was playing with bits and pieces of my digital abstracts again and this is the result - its actually the first time in a long time i have created anything canine in form.
title just comes from the fact that i was listening to Ozzy - Bark at the moon whilst i was working on this lol
worth a full view for to see some of the details in the overall image - the original is another huge piece lol 183.02cm wide and 265.92cm high so i'm kinda glad its digital and not on actual paper lol !
i did try with more of a background but it started to loose the detail in the foreground shape so i decided to leave it minimal with just a hint at sky.

either way tell me what you think please?

i like a lot this work, more than everything the wolf, but is notable the diference of colours between the draw and the backgraund.

rockgem In reply to Ellipsis-Nar [2008-09-18 23:34:41 +0000 UTC]

i know how that is attimes - usually i can turn my hand to most things artistically so i guess i'm lucky - but i really haven't had the patience with painting recently i think its because i spend more time setting up to paint and tidying away than i do actually painting lol

i appriciate all teh favorites - it just menas folsk liek waht i do - its encouraging and makes me want to keep up the good work lol !
i can paint but at times i think its so much easier just to click a mouse or whatever lol - bit of a lazy way of thinking for me.
teeshirt designs i have done before lol jsut random lil doodles and uch that i have drawn up and put on stuff for friends - i am planning on getting some fo my recent work put on teeshirts and seeing what happens maybe sell em or something - lol i did one for myslef with the 'spider love' picture on it - when i get chance i will get a picture up here of that lol

rockgem In reply to Ellipsis-Nar [2008-09-19 14:56:58 +0000 UTC]

lol well i have a dragon already lol ( to be uploaded friday night for a friends birthday deviation on saturday) i think the effect could work pretty well on some images like that i was considerign creating images to relate to the chinese zodica and in turn the western zodiac lol possibly considering the celtic moon signs as well there are 13 of those usually relating to an animal/object and a plant/tree so it could be interesting how those might turn out - i think i got a lot of other stuff to get done first before i contemplate any of those pieces but they are already something i'm bearing in mind

Ellipsis-Nar In reply to rockgem [2008-09-19 15:28:52 +0000 UTC]

humm i dont know anything about celtic moon sign, im gonna goole it right now. Well sometimes it just sucks to have responsabilities when you wanna do something. Well as before ill be looking foward more of your works lol a lots of favs XD

rockgem In reply to Ellipsis-Nar [2008-09-19 16:15:43 +0000 UTC]

lol iots just another form of zodiac i guess but its intreguing because the signs overlap the westen zodiac signs here and there as because celtic ones have the 13 signs not the 12. its interesting in trut . at present i'm just editing a few photographs and i shal put those up later

Very cool, but you lost your true black, I see squares around the wolf and moon. Also his front leg is a bit off colour from the rest of his body. The white part isn't as white as I the rest.

rockgem In reply to Extrico [2008-09-18 00:21:01 +0000 UTC]

lol thankyou! and sorry you're jelous - if i tell you how i did it wil you not be?

i literally just finished it off and submitted it - i tok little bits and pieces of various digital abstracts of mine and began to tweak and reassemble them piece by piecelayer by layer in photoshop to get this shape - same fourmula i have used for other recent deviations of mine such as 'bird of paradise' and ' frog prince' time consuming - this one took about 2 hours or more but worth it lol - all the abstracts i used to make it are in my gallery if you get chance to look
