More from Taleron
Bouwolf, a maverick ace fighter pilot, has had to take his ship, the Raven in for maintenance and system checks. A snow leopard technician, having guided him in for a landing at docking bay 7, is currently running system diagnostics on the ship's subsystems and software.
It fills me with pride when I get a repeat client. I sometimes feel as though I charge too much, but then I get clientele who are so ecstatic with my work, and as this repeat patron stated, "You're the only one I know who can do what's in my head any justice." I think there's better, but hey, who am I to argue?
This is my second commission for someone, and after two compositions I personally didn't like, he approved of the third, that you see here. This piece was HARD, but I like challenging myself. Done in Photoshop, with Alchemy.

Charge too much??? Some of your stuff ranks with the masters. What is too much? Art can only be judged by its ability to speak to the spirit. It reaches into the viewer and leaves them somehow different. It is not a static thing plastered on a surface, but a living, breathing entity speaking in the minds of its audience. The greatest art of all time does this. Your art does this just as well. Its no wonder your customer is happy. As I have said before, you could really be the next Michael Whelan ( a very successful commercial artist, who still manages to stay true despite making money).
The only question I have is about the crimson light from the Falcon and the denim blue of Bouwolfs pants. They seem to balance. Do you use a formal system for producing your pallets or is it instinct? BTW, the split in the window is absolutely brilliant as is all of the other details that keep the point of focus moving.

Mmm, thanks. And I wish I could say I planned those things out, but when it comes to color selection I don't use any preset palette or color picking. I pop open the picker in PS or Painter and move it around until I say, "that's what I want." Sometimes it takes a little tweaking, though!
You obviously have a great deal of raw talent that you've honed with lots of practice. The one thing that I really like about your stuff is the natural balance that does not seem forced. I does not appear engineered, but just works. I guess the best word would be organic. I think I have been trying to think through the stuff I do too much. While the stuff I do spontaneously comes out much better ( though its still pretty much garbage). I do not think I would have ever though to put Bouwolf at the very edge of the painting, yet it works so well. Its like a photo of a real moment in time. Not everything is where it should be for balance, but is where it really would be. Because of you and some of the other artists here at FA, such as Bo-Gilliam ( who's color use is also phenomenal), I am being inspired to put in the thousands of hours in practice needed to develop the skills you guys exhibit so easily. Thanks for motivating me to finally get serious with my art.
