twas a dark and stormy night........

Ah ha.. so this is the Hobbies thread. Well I've already derailed the ugly thread with my cars, so here is another time eater - painting. I've been a bit slack of late, but usually have something on the go in this dept, the last couple of years I've been doing a lot of portraits.

those are awesome Sonic, what media?
Acrylic and housepaint - usually what ever I have handy :) The green one is pretty big, around 1200 x 900, the others are 600 tall. This what I actually went to uni for - graphic design actually guarantees a pay check though.
I like your renders too - I have a mate who does similar gear, but more sci fi/fantasy and erm..girls than 'gothic'.
This is his gallery on deviant art. https://laticis.deviantart.com/gallery/
Love your artwork Sonic
love your artwork Sonic, very talented. What is this significance of the building with the yellow background ?
Hey nice gallery your mate has. I haven't been able to keep up with all the latest advances in 3D.
I'm strictly self taught ( in everything I do) left school at 14 in 74
Pretty impressive work then. 3D is a LOT of work. I've done a fair bit of modelling for manufacture, but trying to make a pretty image is a daunting process. My mate has been doing it for about 10 years intensively and is now producing models and textures for DAZ and a few other people. I just don't have the patience - or the money to put into the work station. Painful enough to keep something current enough for my normal work.
This was actually a piece I did for a friend of mines Graphic design office. She had an office above the main drag here and this is sort of an amalgam of the buildings around it (that you don't normally look up and see) The colour choice was to fit in with her branding. While I did painting at uni, my major was ceramics and I've always been into architecture and buildings, I guess because I like geometric shapes, so this is a bit of an extension of that. I used to do a lot more abstract work, and my illustration stuff was a bit seperate from that. These paintings have very much been about re-injecting my design and illustration stuff back into my art practice....and now I sound like I'm back at uni again :/...
