I like this a lot. Very neat perspective.

Thank you.

That's an interesting brush you're using on the viewer's far left on the bottom, may I ask which one is that? I have a set of brushes I converted from Zhu (I believe that's his name) for Painter. The bottle brush is obviously a joke, but http://www.anime.net/~arshesnei/pai.....watercolor.jpg but the link is below for download: http://www.anime.net/~arshesnei/pai.....lor%20Dabs.zip

What? ZhuZhu shared his brushes?! Now that's news. I love his stuff - very unique and painterly. Whoa, Idiot Apathy too... Thanks! I'll have to browse CA more thoroughly sometime. I, on the other hand, sometimes use Davi's brushes. This is the link, I think: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sh.....ad.php?t=95750

But there in teh bottom left corner I mostly used Variable oil pastel - the interesting patterns are due to different papers. The small lines is Davi's Fine Tip brush. The blury strokes on the right is one of my own invention (not very good - pretty sluggish and not very interesting on higher rez), i could find some place to upload my stuff if you're interested.

Zhu Zhu shared his Photoshop brushes, I took two of them and played with it in Painter by capturing the dab. I actually gave the conversion to Davi when I was on the IRC and he told me "Bottle brush sucked" and I laughed XD

If your brush is getting sluggish at a higher resolution, try changing the spacing - that's what I do.

Nice! Thanks for the links!.

Yes, I used to do that, but now I keep it at the optimum setting i've found - it looks very crappy if the spacing is too wide. Since it's a bristle brush, not a captured one, it becomes flatter at bigger sizes and not very interesting - i use it at this kind of size mostly anyhow.

Lol. Bottle brush. Must be a classic. :]

Now you're tempting me to try a speed paint restricted to Sucky Bottle Brush.

Good idea. There should be a speedpainting contest restricted to bottle, jar, pan, mug and vase brushes.

:o!

Heheh! It's a funny image.

Where th'heck do those signs come from, anyway? They just seem to appear when needed...I wish I could do that!

Thanks.

It's called Hammerspace. :]
Go to Thailand, climb some cliffs, find a swami here and there and you'll learn it alright. Trust me.

This image looks a little blurry. I don't know if that was intended or not. But art burnout does happen and usually it seems in my experience, when I really want to do some art. <currently having problems getting a picture to work out.

Yes, it's because I was tired... I'm totaly not happy with how this turned out. I'm improving backwards. :]
And I should get into the habit of working in higher rez. Resizing 1100 to 900 is a bad idea and gives a certain blur.

yeah but at least you are working with large formats as it is. I don't have the patience with computer art. My best pieces end up being icons.

Actually, there's a lot to love here, man, for all that you're feeling burned out. You done a really good job controlling your value scheme. That dragon pops wonderfully, and the whole image reads pretty well at thumbnail size, which is no mean feat. Good handling on color, too, considering how bright/saturated those reds are. Pat yourself on the back and take a well-deserved break!

Well. Thank you. :]

And thanks for telling me not to work - I always get urges to do the opposite of what i'm told. :]

There's a danger in working too hard, just like there's a danger in being too much of a slacker. You work too hard, that can equal overworking. Overworking bad, say the Giant Spaghetti Monster.

Yes, ofcourse, but I don't believe in GSM... And the Pink Invisible Unicorn sez a little overworking is ok if you can have rest afterwards. - I'm too prone to lazyness.

Overworking is bad, no way nohow. It takes a while to learn to let go.

Haha, what can I say other than that's freaking awesome. I seriously have no sense of direction, and need to do everything visually. :p

Heheh, Thanks. :]

This is stunning, and hilarious. Love it, love it, love it!

Thanks.

Okay, now I imagine actual sparrows flying with the power of diarrhea emerging from behind thus propulsing them to a huge speed. X3

Bad, bad thoughts. *Sucking your life*

Lol! Sparrow migration would be a sucky time to play outside, then.

Get your raincoats, kids!

lol it's really funny

Thanks. :]

This is a very original picture.
I am favorite in the appearance of surface of the earth and This dragon's frame!!

Thank you very much.

Wow. I didn't notice the composition worked like that. You have a good eye!

lol very good, and what strange plots you think of for your paintings :p

Thanks.

I can't seem to tell the story with picture only yet. So I resort to text. :]
This kind of gave me an idea to try a typography/illustration combo some time in the future. Thanks!

hehehe ^^

Hehe, fantastic work. I love the way this is painted and the humour behind it :)

I can't imagine what the pilots are thinking right now XD
I really like the humor behind this.

Made me chuckle, very well done.

*chuckle* simply adorable. There's a good amount of perspective there too, a clever use of suggestive shape and colour rather than the habit of putting acres of detail in.
