oh goodness, absolutely love the colors here

Thank you! They still feel a little scattershot but often that's what my in-progs look like anyway: messy.

Digging how this is going.

Yay! :D

DIGITAL PAINT WRESTLING AT IT'S FINEST

WHO WILL WIN? WHO WILL LOSE?

Wow very nice so far

Thank you kindly!

*v* this was amazing to watch progress so far.

You were a pleasure to have around, critter! The time it's taking is a reminder to do thumbnails. :P MUST DO THUMBS. Yessir, yessir...sheesh. But sometimes I love diving into something just to see what's there.

Its kinda a weird thing because its so reminiscent of traditional paintings in color, composition and subject matter, but the digital aspect is really starting to show through in this stage. I think it's coming along nicely and taking shape, but I dunno how I feel about that texture in there, thats the only thing that rubs me the wrong way. Maybe its personal preference, tho, cause in digital paintings I prefer a look that emulates smooth oils more than a rough hard brushed look. But then again a lot of painters use this look, its very impressionistic, just not somethin I do.
/long ass pretentious artsnob comment about a work thats way better than anything I do

The textures will definitely get toned-down; background paintings usually take 2-4 days, depending on how elaborate they are, and this one started its life as a piece of concept art. The painting and I had different ideas on how to evolve. :P

Not pretentious, just an expression of opinion! When I work on my own I tend towards the Impressionists and the Orientalists. I love vivid color and rough brush strokes.

thats cool, man, like I said, I love your work! I can't wait to see this done :D

Thank you! Me, too, far as that goes. I am going to get it wrestled to the mat this week if it kills me.

Lookin' great, Berb!

*Hugs* Thank you, sweetbean.
