dude, how could this not make it to the Showcase?? haven't seen one of these styles in a very, very long time! you did an excellent job, I knew instantly that it was Van Gogh. I like your take on this too because you didn't try to make it look exactly like it, and there's a blur in parts of it that makes it look softer compared to the orig. that has all the intricate details, which seem quite intense and sharp. But you still did great.

Thank you! Such a comment means a lot to me :)

Very nice Roytje! I too have this print in living room. Thought about recreating it, but man, so tedious.

I was really torn between this one and Moosh's Armor painting... This one truly captures what the meaning of the painting is... and I'm not really sure even the original artist did that... you definitely did. I smell baby powder, and I think this would make a great decal on a nursery chest-of-drawers. :)

This guy looks like he's ready to kill someone. Is he an assassin?

solve (Dec 11, 2006)

He is an assassin/ enforcer of the synthetic organization. Hes from a manga called Blame!

Pureland forest

Shanghai (Dec 1, 2006)

Even though they sometimes look like they're separate trees, this is actually the inside of the one giant tree Tamuril that's large enough to have a miniture forest within its trunk. The light comes from the phosphorescent crystals here which channel in light from shafts to the outside. If they were to be mined out and exploited then the animals and the entire inner forest would die. Because Tamuril is the point of origin for this world, the effects would radiate out and eventually cause an end to everything else.

It looks like he's getting ready to clap that small bird in the same way you would clap a mosquito.

You have this complete creative "individuality" that fascinates me.

The Incredulity of Saint Thomas

Deino (Nov 28, 2006)

http://www.culturageneral.net/pintura/cuadros/jpg/la_incredulidad_de_santo_tomas.jpg
The Incredulity of Saint Thomas of Caravaggio (Oh god, where have I put myself into?)

This is one of my favorite paintings, I found it quite powerful: The face of Jesus so calmed and the expression of Thomas. The portraile of the apostols not as young and beautiful but old and 'common', not to mention the incredible achievement of figure volume by the chiaroscuro.
