Description

Very used to Photoshop but love the brush options in Painter so now I just go back and forth between the programs and it seems to work for me. Then, of course, you have to throw Dogwaffle into the mix! This piece took about 2 weeks to complete. The quality of the jpg conversion is a lowly 5 to meet the size requirements here. Sorry about that!

Took me a wile to realise that it wasn't a photo I was looking at. It was the rock that finally gave it away. Stunning work, my friend. Keep it up:)

Beautiful work. I find the control of the 'save for web' to be better than the normal .jpg save. You continue to inspire me.

This is just unbelievable, Ken! I'm still processing that this is NOT a photograph. I can't imagine the careful planning and meticulous care that went into producing a gorgeous piece of such quality. That this is jpg-5 blows me away too. The full res version must be out of this world! Wish I could look over your shoulder for the creation of one of these masterpieces. VOTE!!!!
