Description This is a portrait of my girlfriend, Tascha. I haven't had time to do much personal paintings lately because of too much work, and my muse has been a bit low because of this. But our 2-year anniversary helped a lot, and I simple wanted to do a simple piece. It's quite detailed, and I spent quite a bit of time on it during evenings and in-between things. The original plan was more complex, but simplicity usually wins when I start messing about with different approaches.

Painted using Photoshop CS2 and a Wacom Intuos 2 tablet. Reference used, of course.

Hehe, yeah it was used on HUGI 33, the diskmag once. It was made on a PC, but converted to Amiga.
I still have my Amiga from the old demo-scene days, hehe. Amiga rocks indeed

amiga fucks the pc up easily,
why?
cause you had more entertainment.
nowadays the games are movies,
but i still love to play turrican for instance!
and the amiga demo scene uh antin nothing to fu... with!
everybody who did not take part in any kind of way, missed out big time!
yeah, i got my A1200 up in the loft too.
still runs smooth as a cat.
all the best man!

Hehe, true that. That exciting feeling of getting a new game or application will never be the same again. Also to be blown away on how far people could push the hardware with their demos and games. Good times

I know this is an older piece, but I want to comment on how well done this is. The texture on the wall, though a background element, is well done and not overlooked. There are a lot of things done well on this, but I really like how you rendered the jeans. Fantastic.

I was just going through your gallery, I don't really know how I got here. Everything is pretty impressive, but this image is the one that made me stop. Stop and look and look. Then I read the blurb. One can tell that this image, and the subject is dear to you, because there is a certain tenderness expressed in the art that I lack the words to articulate. Beautiful.
