Very nice job...

It looks great... I wish I had artistic talent like that.. I still have issues staying inside the lines with the crayons.

thanks. how do i get the image to fit in the window so you don't have to scroll to see the whole thing? do you know?

Wow, you've got a talent there

You did that with a mouse! wow! Great job. I've never been good art, so i'm jealous.
s 'n' f for you.

lol yeah and if i had said i painted it with a real paintbrush, then you could be impressed. cause the old way of painting ain't easy. you make a mistake, there's no "undo" feature. lol can't tell you how many real paintings i have totally flubbed up with pencils, pens, acrylics, oils and especially water colors. and then there was the one where my son, who was 4 years old at the time, got up before i did, found a newly painted picture i had done on a huge piece of wood (was poster size painting), and helped himself to the paints, adding his own unique touches to it

If its a larger image I dont think you can get it all to fit. You will need to use a program to reduce the size of the photo and then reupload it.

Absent that im pretty sure large images are stuck with the scroll bar.

Im not all that technical though so there could be a way that I dont know about.

this piece has a long back story. there was a thread on ATS, started by Skyfloating, entitled "Modern Art Idiocy"., for maaaaaaaany pages we all debated what is and isn't art. eventually we got on the subject of a painting called "Red Square." the painting is said to be worth millions of dollars but all it is, is a red square. nothing more, nothing less. anyway, one of the posters in the thread named "endisnighe" painted this painting as a tongue in cheek stab at the idea, and said:

I call it "white on red" Thinking of submitting it to Sotheby's as a long lost work of some unknown suicided artist. I should make at least $50 million USD!

I thought it looked like a coke advrertisment so i made a sprite advertisement

if you'd like to read the thread (lol), it's here

this was inspired by my mom's interest in antique furniture.

Autumn

piece i submitted for a t-shirt art contest. i wanted it to look 3d-ish


detail of it

a very early attempt at classical art style.

Egyptian Bath

my first and only serious attempt at vector art, without a vector program. done entirely in paintshop, using the selection tool to create the vector like appearance. this is art deco or art nouveau, i can't remember which lol i was attempting to make it look like an old playbill.

Fred Astaire

a gift for my daughter who was a kingdom hearts (video game) fan, particularly a fan of the character Riku. And this is him, painted from a video game reference of him standing in front of an incoming tide of water/ his head was bigger than his other body proportions

Riku

my unfinished interpretation of "Winter". a comic book style art, of a character from the star wars extended universe. she was a jedi and the nanny/bodyguard of the solo children (leia and han are married in the extended universe, and have three kids, two of which are twins)

i was tinkering with the lightsaber glow but didn't do the piece in layers, so have to block out all that white fuzz manually. haven't gotten around to it yet

Very cool...

All the pics look really good.

Ever thought about selling em?

yeah a couple times lol
some of it is just not print quality though, due to various things like my graphics program is not photoshop quaity, although it'll do, its an older version of paintshop, like paintshop 7 i think. they must be on 11 or so by now. . i have some vision problems too.

sort of a mix of vector and comic book art. this is han solo from the film, star wars: the empire strikes back.

Han Solo: Scoundrel

C3PO from the film Star Wars: A New Hope
This was painted from a photo of C3PO in a corridor of Tantive IV, the counsellor ship that Leia is on when the audience meets Vader for the first time (if you don't count his brief appearance at the end of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith).

i wanted to make it realistic in homage to its original but just different enough that it was its own piece of art. so although it may look like C3PO, it's actually my own unique take on him

made a more artsy version of the op pic

and another variant of the op pic.
was goofing around with filters.
