New Pixelbrush Event round and inspiration

Journal Entry: Sat Nov 3, 2007, 1:42 PM


The ninth [pb]event is here!

[ opposites ]
"Imagine if anyone or anything has got two sides; good and evil, saints and sinners, light and dark, angels and devils, fire and ice, drunk and sober, etc. Use your imagination to make extreme opposites work together in artistic harmony."




This theme should open up for a wide range of subjects, we think. Remember that this can include anything from characters, to animals, scenery, structures... What ever you like, as long as it somehow focuses on extreme opposites.

Aaaaaaaaaalso, we had two winners last time (which I personally am really happy about). Both Lolita and Nickillus came up with super cool pieces for your Halloween event. Check them out here:

Lolita's process and final Entry
Nick's process and final entry

We are so incredibly thrilled to have a range of young and more experienced artist on our forums. :heart:

And for some news from my part. I haven't really been painting much recently. After a hard fall back and another visit to the hospital I really have a hard time getting my inspiration back. This also means that I pretty much turn down every commission request from either private or commercial clients. On top my hands never really went back to what they used to be..but enough of that. Here are some cutouts of the process of a piece I am currently working on (hurray for the fact that I actually opened photoshop for longer then a few minutes). Some of you might have seen some bigger cutouts in my scrap section.
As always, it will probably change a lot during the process.
