Avalanche Challenge Piece

Here's my entry for the last challenge over at the Avalanche Blog . It was a pretty eye-opening experiment. Thanks to Ryan Wood and Sam Neilson for some great pointers that I probably forgot to implement by mistake.

Couple More Drawings...

I really got into drawing today, and I still have the itch. I'll have to keep it going. Heaven knows I need the practice.

Portrait of Baldy

Not sure where this one came from. Lately, I'm trying to get away from the line drawing and go more for tones. Loomis did this really well. So do a ton of the guys I work with.

I've never seen the show "Lost," but here's my shot for the company Art Challenge:

This is why I love layers...

December

One of my all-time favorite CD's is George Winston's December. My dad bought it when I was really young, and I was inthralled with it. It became my Christmas soundtrack, and remains so to this day. The photo on the front of the CD is exactly what I picture when I hear the music, and I think it's just gorgeous. Being October and all, I started listening to Christmas music. Hey! At least it's not the normal time I begin listening to Christmas music...July. My wife would kill me. At least I can listen to it at work. Hehehehe.

Anyways, I decided to get into painting in Painter again....yes, again. I love using layers. So here is a try at painting in Painter 9.5. Everything was going smoothly until I hit the branches...so much detail, I'm trying to figure out which brushes to use. Better ask Ryan (Wood). I'll post the progress images next.
