Artist's Comments




My wardrobe is like my life: a constant hit and miss...


Quick self-portrait done for an upcoming Custom Brush Tutorial on fabrics, lace and embroidery in 2DArtist Magazine (September issue). Yes, you'll get a whole bunch of brushes for free with that one.

I was too lazy to use my imagination and paint an original character for this. It happens sometimes. Besides, I hadn't painted an actual self-portrait in years, so it worked out.

This one's been on my hard drive for some time, and made it into the Gallery in this month's issue, so I could post it.



Photoshop CS
+ close-ups: one | two |three
+ reference used (no, really?!)
+ I wish I had those clothes...

Share your kindness, not your hate.
Love the art, before yourself.

I also love the lighting, that's what really drew me into this picture. As for the texture, it's so cool! I love the bulls eye in the background and the matching clip.

There are always more days than you can count on two hands and feet. Just because today isn't one of the good ones doesn't mean you will never have a good one again. Keep that in mind when you take out your suicidal thoughts. Think about who will be hurt.

I do like the selection of clothing you have there. And the nonchalance of the person wearing it. I wish I had that type of confidence while wearing clothing like that, it makes all the difference!

I accept chaos, but I'm not sure whether it accepts me.

I can't put my finger on why I like this so much, but it really, really appeals to me. I just hope you aren't a target too often :icondrowmoticon:

If you are a manipper put direct links to your bases in your credits. Without them we can't actually see what you've done!
