Corel painter

Well I was giving Painter a try. I just got it, and I've never really used it before. There are similarities to Photoshop, but the way it paints is extremely different (AND BETTER!) I never thought I'd say it. Well what better subject then my wonderful pup Mischief.



Enjoy :)

P.S. Anyone know any basics of Painter tutorial?

Prayer (Mature warning)

I am an agnostic, bordering on atheist...however, religion always intrigues me. It's such a power in our society, it should not be ignored.

Anyways I did two pictures based on my impressions of prayer.

This one is based on desperation developing into anger.

It will probably get a dabbing of color at some point, it's a lot more realistic than the next prayer pic.












This one is a much quicker doodle, but I was so pleased with the emotion of it I didn't feel it needed a lot of clean up.



I hope you enjoy them.

What's going on...

I realise I've gotten a bit behind as of late. With the birth of my nephew (my first!) and this almost "money-pit" falling down around us, I have found it difficult to keep up with my artistic aspirations. Most notably in the 11second club. I was unable to finish it. I became disheartened with flash in general (UGLY UGLY lineart!) and I stepped back for a while. I think I'll finish it depite the contest having finished, just because it'll be a good show piece if I ever get it done. I have a light box now, and will try and figure out ToonBoom to create some hand drawn stuff!

The Blissfield Center for the Arts is holding an event "Art at your Feet" for street painting! I will hopefully be participating either way I will post photos of it on my deviantart.

I am currently working on building a set of Audrey II sculptures for use in Little Shop of Horrors. Right now I have the smallest one constructed, the hand puppet is nearly finished (construction wise), and I've got the frame mostly worked out for the largest. Lots to do yet, but it'll be cool once it's complete. I will post pictures within the next couple days.

So right now I'm working on paintings, sculpture, and animation! (Not to mention the odd logo/mascot design that pays the bills ;)) I promise you guys something better to look at soon!
