BIO I'm an illustrator, and for the last 15 years I have been doing almost exclusively digital work--mostly covers for e-books and small presses; fantasy, SF and Paranormal Romance covers are my specialty. I use Poser, Photoshop and Painter, and a nifty little paint program called ArtRage. I have been lucky enough to have work shown on the BBC's The Sky at Night, done promotional artwork for the Hugos, and have digital art tutorials published in Michael Burn's Femme Digitale and Digital SciFi Art (Watson-Guptill 2004) as well as DVD covers, cd covers and e-book covers, most recently for Liquid Silver Books, Edge/Tesseract and Dragon Moon Press. I'm also a member of the International Association of Astronomical Artists. . When I have time, I do acrylic paintings for fun.
Commissions: I do 3d texturing and backgrounds now rather than book covers, and I do appreciate a good UV template to work on. Thanks for checking out my bio!

Great portrait. Lot of emotion in the face. Yeah, more smoke, perphaps rougher hands. Really exciting.
MrBacardi
I really like it, but I think you need to work on the fx around the clock, just dont look right. Otherwise its great.

Outstanding painting style and technique. Excellent composition and color palette. Very well done work of art.

his face is fabulous. i also like the bkgrd and the reflections of fresh rain upon the pavement, and wow, but i love his shoes! i agree that the effects around the watch could use a bit more blending, and given the fact that their brightness is strong enough to reflect back from the water on the ground, i'd expect to see a bit more colour interaction on his clothing, too. his left arm also seem a touch off in pose and proportion, and that hand could use a few touches of more detailing to better match the depth of detailing you managed on his face. and excellent rendering overall... :))

Wow! That's all I can say- Wow!!! Outstanding in every detail! Right down to his expression and ring on his finger! You did good hon!!!
frankman
This is excellent. Only the EFX around his Hand don't fit 100% in my eyes. It's to clear i think. But anyway a great Image !
TheAnimaGemini
Fantastic.Love everything here. His expression and the BG. I only agree with the FX. I think more blurry would more fit the image.
bbratche
Damn excellent!
gerberc
Brilliant setting and painting! Love everything here but I agree with the effects around the watch. They don't match with the rest of the painting i.m.h.o. If you can fix that you have a masterpiece!

Excellent artwork, very well done.

WOW - this looks amazing Lynn. I can't say much more than the previous commenters though. The only things that came to my head in terms of imprevements are the effects around the pocket watch would need some blurring to make them match with the rest of the image. Perhaps a bit more smoke and some little flames that comes out of the tower in the back. Nevertheless it's already a terrific artwork! Would love to see the final piece if possible, too.

Amazin painting work Kalakukko :) Love the theme used and all those colors just comes out brilliantly. Excellent sense of dynamics !

Whew...you already know what I think...you are the master!! Amazing work---and at least he doesn't have billions of bottles. :D It was fun seeing how you work on this. He really came out amazingly. I still wish I had a drop of your talent.
dorkati
Wonderful work! Only one thin, if tower is on fire, there should be more fire or smoke in front of tower too. Will waiting for other version :) GREAT!!!
gillbrooks
Certainly looks Victorian/Edwardian London! I'm echoing everyone else in the effect around the watch does look like a fractal overlay ;-) But the rest is AbFab!!
belfiore
The almost-caption might be, "Did I leave the gas on?" Great work as usual! Will this be showing in NY next month?

Brandi
Gorgeous work, once again! I do agree with what Kat said about the hand. That's really the only thing I find that looks a bit 'off', but who am I to say... I couldn't paint a fingernail, let alone an entire hand! Giggle Really brilliant paint work, hon'. Bravo! :D
NytsMom
awesome image
e-brink
Great work. This is super. The atmosphere and quality of image are perfect for this kind of book. Of course, as with all book cover images, something is bound to look odd because the text is missing and they are often designed with that in mind. The hand looks fine, because is in a place where the light is flat and therefore not enhanced by it, however, it does help to make it stand out and that's great because, of course, he has just dropped his hat in surprise - so that message comes across and sets the whole scene! A great job!

Oh yeah, there is is!!!!! I love your painted images, they are always jaw dropping amazing. This is outstanding. The colors are vivid, the background is dynamic, his face shows character. Easy favorite. Beautiful work Lynn.
