2 Face

Way back in high school I did a pen and ink illustration that was submitted into a poster contest...the focus was about the dangers of drug abuse.
I won the contest and the illustration was used as front and back covers for an anti drug information booklet.

This is my stab at recreating that image entirely in computer using a paint program only-Twisted Brush Pro.

The empty space on the right side SHOULD HAVE various types of drug paraphernalia (laziness stopped me short).
I plan to rework the image when I get the time. The hardest part for me seems to be the neck/shoulder area- should I keep it in shadow or show details - muscle and so on.

Selfportrait 3

This piece is titled Selfportrait 3. It's a digital variation of an abstract painting I completed a few years ago. It
was created in Photoshop by way of using a low resolution digicam pic of the original painting as a template
to create this version.

I started by selecting colors via the color range function to create a full color digital image. I accidentally
deleted a couple layers and this image was the happy result.

The original painting is titled Face of Gore: Selfportrait.

Structure

This, a "happy accident" of playing around with textures and filters is an image I've tried to recreate numerous times ...and have failed each time :-(

Circle of Life


This image titled Circle of Life is of a large sphere surrounded by foliage with life's energies emerging from the center. It was started in a program called Real Draw Pro, run through SatoriPhotoXL and finished out in Photoshop.
Real draw saw the bulk of the work on this one.

Selfportrait 1

This piece is titled Selfportrait 1. It's a digital variation of an abstract painting I completed a few years ago. It was created in Photoshop by way of using A low resolution digicam pic of the original painting as a template to create this version.

I started by selecting colors via the color range function to create a full color digital painting. Because the digicam was low resolution plus bad lighting, the colors were not a perfect match.

The resulting image while close to the original abstract is in fact an original itself entirely digital in creation.

The original painting is titled Face of Gore: Selfportrait
