Ascension

It has been awhile since I posted a digital art piece, and since I recently completed one that I showed a character sketch of, in a previous post, (see Mermaids) I decided it was time to show what I am calling the completed piece.

I added bubbles to show her letting out a breathe as she began to surface and at the base of her one fin to make it look like she had just moved that tail. This is a mixed media piece as I created the mermaid using a Poser debut CG model and then added fins and colored in the sketch by hand then the rest was Photoshop CS6 with help from tutorials out of Photoshop Creative and Imagine FX magazines.

I would also like to thank Irene from Simply Beautiful's Facebook page for allowing me to download Star Gem as a reference photo.

Greenery

I took another walk around the yard trying to get a picture of myself for a profile picture and while I was out in the sunshine I found a couple of emerald gem shots I couldn't pass up taking.

This is one of the favorite trees on the property, it started out as 5 maple saplings that intertwined and grew into 1 tree, but two of them became diseased and had to be removed to save the rest of the tree. Unfortunately, it looks like fungi may be taking over another portion of the tree.

This is the same maple and it's neighboring maple.

Walk In the Yard

Took a walk in the yard with my pug and found some great photograph moments, and captured them on my Samsung Stratosphere.

My First Ink Practice

Sorry it has been awhile since my last post, but I'm still working on art and waiting on contest results. I thought I would share my latest works I just got a pack of Faber-Castell 6 PITT artist pen, the basic color set, and Pigma Sensei 6 piece set of Manga Drawing pencil, eraser, and pens by Sakura. I've rarely used pens for artwork before, because ink is permanent and you have to be sure you want that color or that line there, but I am actually content with these practice pieces.
