Description My progress of Digital painting from my earliest days when I first discovered how to use good old Photoshop 7 in 2003 to my most recent paintings now... still using good old Photoshop 7 in 2010 (With the exception of finalizing the textures and little effects with special brushes and stuff in the later CS versions)

Wow!! Your progressions has certainly shown. Your pieces are absolutely beautiful. The things you learned which you shared and showing this has certainly help me realise there is always room for improvement and the possibility of reaching my goals. This is definitely an inspiration. Thank you

It's really motivational, mate.

If you take a look at my first digital painting (the Frankenstein's monster) from two years ago, and seeing how you evolve I should feel really motivated.

Maybe I'm stuck because I'm trying to do with artrage what people do with photoshop. Maybe I should try photoshop (I'll just have to start from almost zero, because I'm quite illiterate on photoshop).

Anyway, your work is great, mate!

Keep up the good work!

Thanks
I did an Illustration course after High School back in 2004 and we had a few computer classes dealing with Photoshop- and that inspired me to work with PS all the time
