I don't consider the digital work I do to be "digital painting" per se. I think the people who do that sort of stuff are massively talented and way more focused on it than I am. Plus, Photoshop, while amazingly wonderful, is not always what I'd consider to be a painting tool. Fear not, for soon I will make the venture into Corel Painter (I've been meaning to for quite a while, actually,) and then I will bump up the rating of "coloring" to painting.
It still kind of feels like being a very sophisticated kindergarten student. Tablet pens, while functional, are also pretty buff in comparison to other stuff. My pencil is waaaay smaller than that. Even my mechanical ones.
Both of these images are from my sketchbook.
The first image is an emotive illustration that may, at some point, end up on a tarot card or something. I'm still debating finishing up an entire deck of those. I still haven't decided if it needs texture on it or not, if it were a tarot card from that deck, it would have to have some, as that's part of the theme. But either way, I really like this image.
The second image is one that I finished on the tail end of a long period of UN-productivity. My only wish about that one is that I had done the linework more cleanly. I'm still experimenting with penciling as a finished product, and I'm wondering if that image needs some ink on it to make it... um... creme brulee? (My Best Friend's Wedding reference. It's green, and it's jello... ^_~)
For anyone in town, I hope to see you in a couple of hours. For those that aren't, wish me luck!
