Always feel a bit horrible if I post without artwork. It's a bad habit, but it can be an interesting hurdle as well. Not that I don't have anything to post up, but the choosing of the artwork that I put up is always a challenge. I don't want to show anything "too" unfinished, but then I don't want to post'pwn (it's a real word... lol ) posting up projects that I'm working on either.
Right now I'm painting over a gouache (how's that for an imaginary word) painting in Painter. I'm finding it a challenge to retain all the texture and fun that the paper allowed me. I mean, if I wanted to I could polish this thing until it nothing of the physical painting remains. I'm sure that there's artistic damnation in that direction. For me, that is. It's a personal choice, but I get more of my milage out of physical paint. Digital paints great, Photoshop is a thing of beauty don't get me wrong. But I'm still married to molecules. Gratefully, my minor infidelity with digital media hasn't gotten me in trouble yet.

Oh, incase it needs to be mentioned, this is the 'raw' painting. Untouched up, as they say. I'll post the new one as soon as I can.
Well, good to see someone still uses real paint. Very interesting effect with the right leg fading into the background. Good to see you posting. Now maybe I should put something up too.....
Ha! That's my favorite part. Was just a flat wet brush that I used to ghost it out. Nothing as safe as layers, or the redo button.
NICE! Damn, those cans are tight! Er, no, not THOSE cans.. I mean the grenades strapped to her belt. Very nice wraparound and perspective. :)
I dig the paint job too. Looking forward to seeing more! :D
I'd buy that for a dollar!
Love the movement in this, it makes her look like she's stepping right out of the painting
