this is cool, itchy! It reminds me of this program I saw where you absolutely were positive you were just looking at a some algae rock when the octopus on it suddenly darts off of it and away. Watch it in reverse directly after that..it's pretty cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmDTtkZlMwM

The thumb doesn't do it justice.

thanks axil62 i like it too
it reminds me of 'the fall' by grunewald
its a sort of could be but not quite, a nucleus of an idea not formed
or a cool octopus

love the textures, colors and reflections!!

thanks Miss DJ

Froggy! :D

Thanks, Suntan and Miss DJ. It was inspired by a photo of silhouettes I saw at DA. Was going to ref it but now I can't find it. Doesn't really look anything like the photo. I just liked the effect of the lighting.

This is really cool! You are a Master of lights, shadows, and colors.

Another great drawing of yours.

When I was younger my friend tossed a frog up in the air and hit it with his tennis racket, I couldn't understand why he would want to harm such a helpless little creature, so I dipped a stick in some cow pat and chased him around the field with it, eventually I caught up with him and smeared it all in his hair. He went home crying, but I never saw him toss a frog up in the air again.

Oh like you never used a tennis raquet to Julian a frog or two.

I love this. Gives me a calm feeling :)

thanks. :)

Very calming indeed, love it :)

wow, Mr. Axil62 this is wonderful.

Yeah yeah, good. Alright, yeah. You know it.

yep, I know it.

Beautiful stuff....

very nice

very pretty work, Arique :)

your brushstrokes with the digital brush are very "digital" looking... I often find myself thinking, when I look at your paintings, that if they were actual paint strokes that your paintings would really be quite brilliant. Something about the roundness of the brushstrokes seems like a waste... like the viewer is cheated out of seeing the 'hand' in the work. This could almost be like a debate about digital vs. real painting. I strive when, I paint here, to constantly make those round, digital strokes not look so like they are done with a computer, as if I'm trying to pass my paintings on here as canvas paintings. You dont bother with that and just let yourself be free... hmmm.

This is digital, we don't need to pretend it's not. It's free and forgiving and the only thing you need to live up to is in your head.

..and I believe that if you sat down with a canvas it would come out just as beautiful. Different, because it's real paint, but just as beautiful.

I like the visible/invisible wind in the picture. I love the perspective and the waxiness of the wax. oh, yeah..and the hotness of the light. very nice.
