Hi!
I have tons of new work to show and am looking forward to posting some of that soon.
I also just updated my website's "Digital Art Links" — so you can easily see a lot of my digital paintings there as well as links to other media I work with.

Today — I'll share a new digital painting* I've been working on.
I posted the original idea I had for it LONG ago (2013) which I'll include under the final image here.
As you'll see if you compare the two — the main difference is that the character in the final piece "lost his wings." ; )
Anyway I put the final touches on it today.
I'm calling this one: "Da Boid."

And here's the original sketch.
I used a photo "filter" on the scan which gave it the grainy-swirly lines and look — and incorporated that into the digital painting.

* Painting digitally using a computer is much like painting or drawing in the "real-world" using oil, acrylic, charcoal, graphite, etc.
It requires computer painting software and a tablet interface — and those tools imitate paint, brushes, charcoal sticks, pens, pencils and so on.
I use the Wacom Intuos Tablet Interface which I've had for years and LOVE it!! ~
One advantage of using a computer is that there are no brushes to clean, no pastel or charcoal dust, no solvents or dangerous fumes etc — and revisions and edits are easy to make.
Another big advantage is that after the initial cost of the computer, software, and tablet — there are no paints, brushes, pens, paper, canvases, and so on, to buy.
I still love working with all kinds of media though — and am working at completing an oil painting right now.
