I Can't Believe it's Art!!?
Art Updates, lots of fish, some dragons, and some dino's! I also got some ranting. It is much more mild in text then what I feel. Also a question at the end, for any one that may be curiose?
Testing out some new stuff. Did I tell any one I got a new laptop? After some saving, got my self an alienware and man it shreds photoshop and painter.(pretty good for just a dual core) So any ways, if any one has ANY critique for the dino's, please let me have it. Do they look tangible with thier back ground? and if not, can any one share why? I really struggle with that. Also lighting. I'm sure I botched that one up. I have not tried a digital this big in a long while, so I pushed it until I got sick of looking at it..so I know there is a lot more I could have done.
This is the finished trade I had with Rachael. There is a lot that went into it, and despite the perspective flaws, I am very happy with it. It is done in layers of water color and then I sprayed it over with metalic paint. This is VERY hard to photo, but the picture literaly shimmers in the light.
Finished Koi Fish. This one also shimmers with metalic paint. I was not very happy with the fish..but it was a real learning study to do this. I am very happy that this one also sold and is now in some ones home!
Another fish. I really am stick on fish. I want to make FISH. This time I used just a writing ink pen on some drawing paper, also sprayed with metalic.
Close ups of the Art Cards I did for the swap.
and some box dragon's
Ah mood break. I'm to the point of posting about it. I am doing a lot better, but the pressure of not getting a job (other then mowing lawn at the trailer park and selling pyo's) has been a bit depressing. My sinus has been bothering me the last few months too..pain in the morning and swallowing stuff in the night. I am on Dad's insurance for this year do to change in laws and went to the doctor. the news I got was not really what I wanted to hear, after asking some very detailed questions, she told me she is suspecting rhinitis, and if steroids and alergy meds do not work, then I may need surgery. I've already had two surgery's to try and fix this. Am I crazy? Could it be that california is just messed up and I need out of this enviroment?
So Right now I am on nasal steroid spray, 10 day antibiotics in case of infection, and claritin reditabs...and I will need to a ENT again...to get a consultation on what to try and do since I only have a year of ensurance.
On the other hand, this just may over ride my pts symptoms and push me to applying for some jobs. Thinking if doing so starts making me feel dizzy and my hands shaky..that just seems not ok. Isn't that a bit of a dramatic reaction to just a thought of doing something? ugh, life, if you could just spontaniusely give me money for therapy, it would be a perfect world wouldn't it.
I have a lot of respect for those of you that can apply and do work, no matter how bad the job is or how bad the people and boss are...it's a great thing that you guys still do it.
Other subject... this may be just a silly nonsense fantasy idea...but I have been thinking of designing a art gallery based website. I know there are multiple ones out there...but they all seem like copy's of ether and none really seem to fulfill, at least for me, what an art gallery network should be. I've had an idea for a while...and am thinking of making some mock layouts of how it would work, what it would look like. Does that sound really absurd? or could this be an interesting idea to test the waters with. I don't want to get into details to much on the lj, but if any one is interested, I could shoot you an email with details.
