illustration Friday, Theme: Digital
Okay, this may seem like a loose interpretation of "digital" at first glance, but this is one of the first pieces I did completely digitally. For decades I tried to find my medium: watercolors, colored pencils, markers, acrylics, you name it. How could I have known it just hadn't been invented yet? Yes, Painter came out probably ten years ago - but it wasn't until my Mac G5 that I felt I had a system that could truly handle that behemoth. So, once I started to get the hang of it, I swear to you, wings sprouted out of my back. Can I tell you what a relief it is to finally be able to express myself and get close to what I actually have in my head? I can finally achieve the translucency, saturation, and texture I've been striving for. Digital IS my medium - what a relief. Now I can just create.
Oh, btw, this is Fugel Nugel.

Great stuff. I haven't yet become comfortable enough with Painter to use it on a regular basis, but I've seen some terrific things that have been done with it, esp. Painter 9. Maybe I'll have to just sit down with my Wacom tablet and play with it for a little while.
Love this piece, very impressive too for a first digital. I can't get the hang that medium yet, but am always impressed by your talent. :)
