duck...

happy new year!

this is the most recent thing i've been practicing with.  it's taken quite a lot of fuss to get it to this state--but not surprising given my first attempt at painting an animal/furry/feathery type of character.  i think it has a few tweaks necessary to 'finish' it, but i'm pleased with it so far.  i'm starting to really dig this digital painting racket...

this is old, but i'm posting it anyway...

a while back, i made a couple half-assed attempts at painting digitally.  this was one of them.  although i'm happy with the result for now, i have no clue as to how i really got there--i mean, i was working blindly in photoshop.  i think there's a lot more happy accident here than there is painting...

i'm looking forward to learning the intricacies of painter.  i'm looking forward to being able to understand (even in part) the digital process..
