Some quick and fun stuff.

ref is some random photo I took:

Colors look completely different because I tried to go for his palette.
Bright spots are mostly yellow, and darker mostly blue(somewhat green, somewhat red). Now that I look at it, it's way too saturated and to start with orange wasn't the best decision.
One key point are the short strokes which flow(don't cross!). Also the strokes are done with a high opacity(and blending activated) to give them the impact they need.

I started this picture a few days prior to my Father-in-law's passing. He was an incredible Man. I was fortunate to have him in my life. This is dedicated to Charles with love and saddness. Miss you!
Rest in peace, Charles

Absolutely true. With the last stage you say you don't think it is the same, but on my laptop it appears to be completely identical.

Homework sucks.. This is pretty

vlad.the.hamster (Sep 21, 2008)

Indeed, especially when you've ignored most of it and it's all due in a few hours... especially if it's stuff like writing songs and essays. oh dear god.

twit (edited Sep 21, 2008)
