once upon a time...

I used to do art... didn't I? And I used to post it up here, didn't I?



Guardian
-
Giftart for: (guess who, if I'm that good)

So this is what I've been working on all this time. it's supposed to be for a birthday which was in febuary... yeah I'm pretty slow... I'm going to let you figure out who it is though, to see if I got it right.

This one was a real challenge as I had to work with two light sources, rock, and fabric which have always been difficult for me... I like his wings... and her hair and the way that they balance each other out... I could say more but I think I let you come up with your own reading...

scanning this was a nightmare... I got it looking all nice with the right contrast on my moniter and then I put it on the internet one and find out it looks well... crappy is mild and generic, but all washed out and very bad contrast would be exact... so I make at least three more copies playing with levels in photoshop none of which looked right so I finally mussed with it in office picture manager on the internet pc to get it semi decent looking... hopefully the above is similar enough to the original...

she also wants this as a digital...



Under The Rain
30.

another one from the 'virus' period... this on a more hopeful theme... obviously done on some of my better days back then... I think I'd like to dedicate this to melody because it was really her that helped me to stay alive and got me to laugh through the rain... and also cause she just finished her ps last month... wink* thanks to you I will always smile sooner now...

this is what guardian kinda looked like before I fiddled with it on this computer-the rain was supposed to be grayer and the drops not so dark... but I didn't want to mess with it anymore and you get the point none the less...

heh... yes it's the same outfit from I believe in hell... a sort of salute, but more defined and better rendered... and those flowers are all wild flowers from around the fiesta property... I sketched them myself... when I was there...




I need a new monitor...
