By the time I finished this work I was convinced I was actually on Mars. Because humans had evolved into space capsules and had teleported themselves there using mind control.
That's how long this took to look somewhat... um.... decent....
(detail)
So this is Painting no. 1 in my May Paint-a-thon! The final brush-up (boom-boom) before I head off to London. Towards the end of the painting I was already getting faster about selecting and using the 9 million brush sets, and I think the biggest pain was mainly in finding which ones worked for me and which ones didn't. I still love photoshop, though, not because in compares in scope but for its simplicity and expansive brush tweaking. (Not to mention easy to pirate brush sets! : D )
So to recap we have:
Muddying, check
Long completion, check
Computer tan, check.
May will be interesting because I'm going to be spending it just working on my portfolio. No restaurants, night shifts, student parties, Wii or etc. etc. etc. Just drawing. And packing the one box I'm allowing myself to move-- which will probably just have my monitor and shoes in it.
On the upside, I'll fit right in in England because of the computer tan!
