Glenn: I have a couple of books on Indians and found this amazing online book too, which I really want to get round to reading, but I’ve not heard of that one, so definitely putting it on my list. I’m fascinated by the culture of Native American Indians. Your own work was an influence on that piece, especially in the boldness of colour, so thank you.
Intervain: thanks! And the novel piece is symbolic mostly. Neither of them are dead, the blood is representational of the violence they both went through, that bound them together. Same with the guns and bullets and their nakedness… all have meaning pertinent to the character’s stories (they are the two main protagonists from my novel).
Windarr: you’re very sweet! I’m working towards becoming a concept artist, still brushing up on anatomy, and color and more importantly speed, but that’s my ultimate goal!
I feel really bad for not having been around here in so long! Work has kept me busy, and any free time I get, I tend to spend over at pixelbrush’s forums, since they were kind enough to make me a moderator, I kinda feel a duty to have as much input there as I can (I know how you feel, Rebecca, and I still don’t know how you manage the huge contribution you’ve given here while still retaining some kind of outside life!).
And this will be something of a dump and run, since I’m supposed to be painting Saints again, before I leave for the States in under a week (plus finishing two minatures and a couple of commissions while doing three days a week full time design… aye aye!) so please forgive the apprent selfishness… the minute I grab some free time, I’ll be all over these forums like a rash! Ehehehe.
Some more recent work/wips:
This was done as a challenge on pixelbrush, to do a self portrait from a bygone era. You can see the steps in this thread: Challenge thread
