We are not worthy! Good stuff, you better be getting paid for all that. Wacom is a good tool, no?

I remember another you posted over at SomethingLeet a while back. I can't remember if it was the same man or not, but I don't think it was. It had a bookcase in it. It was amazing.

This too is simply amazing. Great job.

It was the one with the accountant ....

very very nice as always ...

Hey... Thanks for taking a look and commenting... :D

Wow.. That is amazing work. I have been browsing through your site and I can hardly believe it. I would like to try this, however, I don't believe I could do even nearly as well. It must have required a lot of practice. Do you recommend starting off with no tracing, and then when you can do that well, just use the tracing as a short cut later on? Anyways, nice work, though I suppose that is the understatement of the year..... ;)

Thanks lovable...

I'd recommend doing what you are comfortable with. If you'd feel guilty tracing before knowing how to draw free hand, then don't do it that way. If it doesn't matter to you, then do it. There are no rules when it comes to creating artwork... :D

ive been experimenting with realistic painting in photoshop, and ive been gettin better each time

im just wondering if there is actually a way to make money just doing that kind of stuff?

oh, and does a tablet really speed things up enough to make the investment in one?

ultraliskrush ... Yes and Yes...
