My art (mostly non-WoW)
I am very critical of my work, and almost never satisfied with it. But I guess that's because I want it to be perfect, which is very hard to achieve.
Anyway, here we go. Will be spamming some photos in this thread.
Paintings on normal canvas. The big one is 100x80 cm. and is painted with acryllic. The small ones are all done with oil.
My first experiment with a different style of painting. Done with acryllic on normal canvas.
Oil on canvas.
More oil on canvas. 60x80 cm.
I'll be waiting on the highland, with its wonderful serenity.
Where the stars glow and the brooks flow, that's my way of life.
When the mountains on the highland, and the nature is surrounding me, when the wind blows, that's all I need.

Oil on canvas.
Pencil on paper.
And the only WoW related thing I have made so far. I plan on doing more though.

Re: My art (mostly non-WoW)
I know it may seem random, but I really like the non coloured version of your digital work (the bust of the man with the beard)
I think I'm just a sucker for more sketch-pencil type work. The eye and line work are just great!

Thank you very much!Rhyela wrote:Wow, your stuff is so pretty. I have always seen painting as one of the harder things to do. I've never really tried it, so I can't say for sure, but it just seems so impressive to me for some reason. Great work!
For many years the only thing I did was draw with pencils. And there were no digital art when I was younger (in the 80's).
But then I just thought that I would never know how paitning was unless I tried it, so I did and it was pretty cool, and not that hard to do. I'm still learning new things even though I have been painting for nearly 15 years. But it's still awesome.
So I think you should just give it a try. It might work, or might not, but you'll never know until you try.

Actually I feel the same with that one. I always save a lot of times when I do digital stuff, so I might be able to find the lineart of the other ones. I'll have a look at it when I get the time.

Re: My art (mostly non-WoW)
This is actually one of the first paintings that I have been really positive about from the beginning. I hope that I can stay like this. It's very motivating.

Thanks! I'm actually considering painting another orc after I'm done with the next two paintings I have planned. I had so much fun painting this one.Castile wrote:wow he turned out great! Much prettier than the ones in game hehe
