My name is Derrick Shawn Grant. After several years in medical science, I have finally found my true calling as an artist. My current medium of expression uses self-taught computer graphics to create images that are true to life or surrealistic using Bryce, Poser, and PhotoShop. I have studied drawing and art history in college as electives and have painted on large canvas using oil and acrylics.

BIO
My name is Derrick Shawn Grant. I am now a graphics artist and starting my business, DK Designs. My Background is in Medical science and I an a classically trained Human Anatomist. My education occured in Montreal Canada where I attended, Vanier College, and McGill University. There I completed my BSc., MSc and Ph.D in Cell Biology and Human Anatomy. During this time I took several minor courses in Art History, Painting and Drawing. This educational background was followed by postdoctoral work at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD. I then moved on to Thomas Jefferson University, in Philadelphia, as an Assistant Professor of Medicine. Throughout these work experiences I taught myself to use Bryce, Poser, Painter, PhotoShop and other Graphic program. I encorporated both these fields of Science and Art to produce graphical designs for scientific presentation over the past 10 years. Finally I decided to leave Science to concentrate my efforts on graphic arts and design. I am committed to this form of contemporary art, and even though several pieces of my work illustrate classical themes and techniques, the final impression one gets, is completely different using this digital venue. Each image can take from one day to a week depending on if the feeling that I would like to convey. My motivation comes from things around me. I am sometimes inspired by dreams, books that I read, the movies, my family or my emotions at that moment. I hope that you will share my joy in my newly discovered art form.

This looks a bit otherwordly (if that is even a word, lol). The colors you used together make it a very lovely scene, also very peaceful.

Beautiful composition and use of color

A composio de todos os elementos estlinda! gostei da composio dos planos, as flores em primeiro plano foi o que mais me chamou a ateno na imagem. As cores fortes, os reflexos e sobras s outros fatores que chamam a ateno de qualquer pessoa, com certeza uma das imagens mais bonitas que vi atent.

A composio do lago perfeita, as cores passam uma tranquilidade extrema, a lua, atagora, n sei se real ou n. As flores em primeiro plano chamam grande ateno, principalmente pelas cores fortes que contrastam com o restante da imagem.

Excelente trabalho grico! O contraste das cores da imagem uma grande leveza e paz, e a montagem dos planos nos fixa o olhar em busca do entendimento de cada elemento que compoe a mesma.Os elementos s micos, mas ao mesmo tempo t um grande ar realista.

Na imagem reflectim moon a predomincia da cor cinza esbranqueado nos da a senso de estar diante de um vazio. O ptano que noramalmente viscoso e nos remete a um lugar sujo aparece em cores claras e com reflexo de uma lua, sbolo que represenat o belo , o mtico , o superior. O contraste de um objeto superiro ( lua) com um de repugncia que eo pantano nos coloca frente a uma contardio.

Este trabalho se empenha na perpectia, sem a qual, o efeito 3D nao existiria aqui, as sombras ajudam mas a perspectiva o que reina. A lua novamente aqui nao estem primeiro plano. Se o tulo n tivesse a ver com ela, talvez passasse desapercebida ao olhar dos mais desatentos. As cores s trabalhadas para dar um efeito gido ao trabalho, a quebra se dnas floresque est em primeiro plano, com os tons de roxo e lil.

Na imagem Reflecting Moon , a natureza n precisa de estilos ou modismos para buscar a beleza. Predomina a cor cinza esbranquido, que nos traz a sensao de estarmos diante de um vazio. Hum objeto de forma arredondada translida, que estposicionado no canto inferior direito da imagem.

Os elementos s dispersos, por a composio da figura pode se compreendida atrav da juno dos elementos. A profundeza obscura e enigmica do ptano se suaviza com o a delicadeza das flores.

Composio realista o que me remete essa figura que traz muitos elementos assimricos. A Lua dvida imagem jque as cores do ptano trazem uma certa seriedade, acredito que apesar da imagem ser interessante para muitos ela pode ter uma beleza diferenciada do que nossos olhos est acostumamos.

O ptano nos da sensao de estranhamento e receio e, ao mesmo tempo, as plantas transmitem a beleza e a suavidade da natureza As flores em primeiro plano chamam grande ateno, principalmente pelas cores vibrantes que se destacam com o resto da imagem.
