Hey no problem, what are you talking about? You have a ton of talent to work with It's all about just risking destroying a painting for practice that makes you better

Yup, that's true... but I'm such a coward xD
I keep on thinking things like "Oh fuck, I like this so much, I don't wanna screw up"... and those thinking lines don't do much for experience... sigh

Awwww... it's not good to burn old pics...
I saved them for years. Now I see them and think "Yeaaaah, take that, Mr You-are-not-improving Inner-self"
I've allways thaught life should come with some kind of check point... so much things could be solved that way... =___=

I did this as a commission that sorta fell through but I'm happy with how it turned out Ever since I saw some rackham paintings or was it Howard Pyle I've always wanted to do those crashing waves with the white foamy look so this is my attempt! Thank you for the compliment

She held the moon in one hand like a great shining pearl
It pushed and pulled the ocean into a living dress of azure
wild winds combed her hair, as she flowed on the ebbs and tides
She carried a sword in the other like a promise of peace
calm graceful eye of steel

gladly I would drown in her gaze

Goddess of Storms

I fell in love with the name Azure a long time ago... was a character in a fantasy book I read, I don't remember the name of the book. But I was using it to mean 'blue' [link]

EnJoy your game if it is a d&d one I am jealous, seems to me you create brilliant characters so it would be a lot of fun!

the game is based around dnd actually...well the fight format anyway. its the sequel to morrowind called oblivion it's totally sucked my life out this summer. I usually don't play games much at all but this was definatly worth it - I have it for the xbox 360 but it's for the computer too. I swore i just did a quest around the name 'azure' so who knows oh man - one of the jobs i've always wanted was to do the pictures for cards for magic, etc

Oblivian cool, I have heard of it.

Well if cards is what you want to do then you have an impressive portfolio here, you just need the right people to see it

or you could always go into business ~ print and sell them yourself!
