Description A sketch created mainly for the purpose of practicing lighting turned out to look quite ok, so I ended up finishing it. I had loads of fun painting this one and it went along rather smoothly, too

For those of you who read descriptions, here's a link to some screenshots I've taken during painting: [link]

Created fully in Photoshop with a little bit of Painter.

Yet another fantastic piece , the amount of detail you manage to capture in what is a *simpler* style to alot of your works stroke wise is amazing, interesting touch with the more Art Nouveau rather than Gothic feel on the stained glass window .

Really like how you have the light backlighting the figure in this scene. It works very well.

This is such a cool piece of art! Predator, indeed! Love the hands and the background, but I think her expression is simply superb! The arch of her brow, twist to her lips and look in her eye makes you wonder if she's annoyed, amused or just playing with you. Great job!

Bah! i never know what to say when I see these pictures. There really isn't anything I can say thats going to stand out and not sound like the popular "Oh that's wonderful" or "that's amazing!". Those kind of comments just don't do justice to pictures like these. I am in awe of the work that went into this. And those screenshots very very helpful. I love seeing how artists go about their work, it's always inspiring.

That is so awesome, and it was even better when u included the stages of the work, very informative. I can finally see how the hell you people do that, lol. Hopefully my digital artworks in the future can get better after knowing this. Thank you for an awesome piece.

A beautiful picture, she reminds me of a lepeord, or large cat. I think it's the pose. Very predetor-like indeed.

Also, I looked at the screenshots, and y'know, I would be happy it I could work at the skill of pic 2 - in fact, I'd be happy with pic 1. But the end result is beautiful!

DeepChrome [2006-01-12 19:05:58 +0000 UTC]

Wow. That's a cool picture. I like how you had her looking just human enough to make people take a second gander to look at teh details, and then discover the elongated fingers, the wings, and so on. Your blue lighting is very nice and alien-looking here, which just emphasizes her not-quite-human nature.
