Rocketbox

A painting of the beautiful ~electralux, it's named Rocketbox because that's the alias I've come to know her by, so it's stuck. BTW, sorry about the re-sub but I had to edit some elements of the painting and DA wouldn't let me change the image file :/ anyhoo, used a photo from her portfolio as a ref, photoshop CS and Painter Classic, Wacom Intuos 2 used. @_____@

Lullaby

Lullaby

When I was trying to think up a name for this piece King Diamond's "To the Morgue" popped into my head. Fittingly, the album that song comes from is called "The Spider's Lullaby" and the girl in the picture looks like me, kinda, and I'm "acid lullaby" so I thought it was extremely fitting ^_^, what a good day for naming art.

Anyway, this is a piece of speed painting gone astray, done freehand entirely in Painter Classic with a Wacom Intuos 2 tablet. Essentially to practice light.

About 6 or 7 hours with the program crashing on me every now and then.

Used photos of myself as reference (for some reason taking photos of oneself at 3am always seem like a good idea), had about 6 different photos to help with lighting and the hand...

Gotta say I'm really pleased with how the hand turned out ^_^, it was sort of a fluke.

Tread Softly

What a delightfully unimaginative title, I thought it sounded more appropriate than "The Wood of the Oversized Squirrels" though.

I had great help from =Elandria's stock photo for the girl and the rest is history.

I can't paint leaves, so this will have to do until I get better at it.

Photoshop Elements, about 4 days work.

Hush

Hush

She built her home in tear drops
And gave her heart to the sky.
She tied up leaves
Around her sleeves
And pretended she could fly.

One morning in mid Winter
On a day that felt more like Spring,
She opened her ears
To the sound of tears
And imagined she could sing.

Overhead the birds would sweep
In sunshine or in rain.
Part of a crowd
They were happy and proud
And ignorant of her pain.

With a final farewell to teardrops
She climbed the tallest tower...
In her silent voice
She made her choice
Knowing freedom was in her power.

With her gaze up to the heavens
She felt then only peace,
As she took one step more
That trailed across the floor
She finally sought release.

The world lit up in sun beams
As she soared high on makeshift wings,
And the birds gathered round
Because they had found
They could hear music when she sings.

Water Lily

Water Lily

The water lily is my favourite flower, it grows freely in the city of Hangzhou where I used to live.

Photoshop Elements

This is an experiment to see if I can recreate the style of the Taiwanese artists such as Chen Shu Fen.
