Thats a very good advice from cymon. Here some exercise inbetween jobs just to flex an entirely numb brain of mine.



The guns looks Bioshock-ish, no matter how hard i wanted to go for originally

Thanks cymon, leech n wilson.

Cymon ealier advice is very good. U can be technically good in painting and software knowledge but u have got to know the subject that ure trying to communicate with ur media. The final image/ illustration must meet the original intent or the artist. Before u lay ur hand on that wacom, know wut u wanna have in the end, although sometimes u'll discover something entirely different in the process.

Great stuff guys...keep it coming.

Mine...photomanip n bit of painting.
