Description
I decided to not work on any commissions over Easter to relax a little. What could be better to relax a little from painting than painting, haha. Well I opened a test render I did for a earlier work from me (timemachine) and just wanted to try some brushes in Photoshop, those who know me will know usually paint using Painter. I already did another piece (lost in space) using only photoshop for the painting process and I was extremely amazed by the result I got with some custom made Photoshop brushes. To make a long sentence short, this is my second attempt to use only Photoshop for painting and what shall I say, I like the result a lot, I got again a very nice painterly look. After years using only Painter for painting I’m fascinated by the control I have with the Photoshop brushes, I sure will use Painter in future as well for my digital paintings as there are still some things I can only do in Painter. BUT I definitely will use Photoshop for my digital paintings more and more.
However what you see above is the result of my playing around with Photoshop brushes, I really just wanted to play around a little but finally I had the finished painting you see above. The whole procedure took me the whole Easter Monday minus the time I spent for eating sweets and Easter eggs :-).
Now I would love to know what you think about the piece, do you think Photoshop works for me or should I better go back and use Painter again, I’m really unsure about what to do, so give me your thoughts…
Thank you all so much for taking your time and looking at my stuff

Faszinating! Excellent work there! It does not really matter what tool is used when the spirit of the work flowes and it certainly does here!
Orestes
This is and excellent work! At looking you cant tell if you used Photoshop or Painter, and your style still reads thru very well. Frankly I say mix & Match the two apps, use your favorite features of both and see what your create. Nowadays limiting yourself to just one program is like limiting yourself to just one paintbrush. lol Well done!
romanceworks
The best advice I could give you is to keep creating, because you have an extraordinary gift. You have something that works in all mediums -- imagination. Incredible artwork, Uwe. CC

artgum

Oustanding rendering! Bravo!!!
kobaltkween
i agree with the above. i don't think i could advise on software or even medium, but i think you've certainly mastered applying your style to the tools you have.

Fantastic and outstanding work!

I doesn't matter which tool you use bro - the end result is always cool!
koosievantutte
for me it's just the end result that counts and this result is fantastic, so don't think about what is 'better' i would say.

LOL I only use Photoshop now, it's just so much faster. This is fantastic, wouldn't it look nice on the cover of Imagine FX?

Fantastische Arbeit Uwe. Ich mag das du nun mehr Photoshop benutzt und die Farben hier sind einfach umwerfend. Was mir besonders gefaellt ist die umwerfende Arbeit am Skull und der Sense. Ich finde das der painterly look hier einfach gut zur Geltung kommt und vielleicht wuerde der Robe ein paar kleine details gut kommen. Die Lichtverhaeltnisse sind grandious gemacht und geben dem ganzen Bild das spooky and scary Aussehen. Hier stimmt der Farbuebergang von Dunklen ins Helle. Der Tail (ich nehme mal an das es ein solcher ist) bringt noch eine andere gute Variante ins Bild und vervollkommt das abschreckende Image des Todes.
Naoo
WOW fantastic Artwork!!!

Simply Awesome!

I think your work is stunning no matter what software you use. I really think you can achieve what you need with Photoshop. You are just more comfortable with Painter. Keep working with Photoshop, though... Your talent shows through, no matter what!

EXT work! Very well done!

Fantastic work. I think the tool is not the important. The result is the important thing. And the result is Fantastic!!!!!!!!!

Masterful!

Excellent work Uwe, although I will add that your work in Painter does seem to have a slightly better 3D effect in my opinion. The artwork above is first class still, so please do not misinterpret this reply. I would say the more you practice with Photoshop you will easily match your other work if not surpass it (if that is at all possible, lol). Great work.

Fantastic work Uwe...love to see more of your Photoshop work. This is OUTSTANDING!
Shiroyama
a wonderful piece! i agrees with Orestes above, mix and match the best of both programs. sometimes a new tool can take you in a new direction.

reminds me of the devil character in this book i just read! awesome as always!
geirla
Very nice! Oh yeah, I think Photoshop works for you. It's the artist, not the tool that matters.

Masterfull

I think you should use both, programs, Uwe. Digital artists these days use anything and everything to make their art, and using two or three programs has become the norm for most artists. This is an excellent portrait of death. Chilling and scary! A treat to view!

Marvelous work!!!!!!
chrispoole
I think it's more, which ever gets the job done. I agree with geirla, a great artist can turn to many mediums and still produce excellent art such as above.
TheAnimaGemini
Fantastic. I agree with the others. The end result is what counts. Not the tool. Wonderful work with great details.
