I am no longer active here. Too many restrictions and unpleasant interactions with admin.
In addition I now focus on traditional art, which is very neglected on this site.
If you are interested in following my art you can find me on RedBubble

See you there!
About my Art - Watercolor, Poser &Vue I have been painting mainly with transparent watercolor on paper. Most of my paintings depict hypothetical situations and imaginary scenes, striving to capture ideas and moods rather then a resemblance to specific places or people. On many occasions more than one way forward suggest themselves either from the onset or during the painting process. I like to explore these possibilities in different paintings and thus I have several ongoing themes (Some examples of themes I worked on are shown in the image above). I started useing Poser and then Vue mainly to set up virtual models and/or scenes which are then painted in watercolor. The CG images were supposed to be only an intermediate stage, but I now got the CG bug, and I'm trying to make these images a 'product ' on their own accord. Feedback is really very important to me. I appreciate any form of it: comments on the impact the images had on you (or saying it had none), things you enjoyed, things you hated, any artistic aspects - (composition, color, lights & shadows etc.) - any technical comments( eg Poser/Vue issues) and anything else you find relevant. If you dont know a lot (or at all) about Watercolors, Poser or Vue, please dont let it deter you from leaving a comment. Just comment on what you see and what it made you feel or think. You could also ask questions, and if I know how to answer - I will.

Astounding image. Love every single detail. The way lighting interacts with elements is truely magical and is very well executed both technically and artistically speaking. Looks like an ideal place and time. But I have to reconsider the whole scene in terms of its meaning. Perhaps, the asymmetric position of the left side window is telling us that it´s just a matter of appearances; and that this place and this time are a metaphor of the universe we wish for ourselves.

very adept sunset and ocean. they're extremely realistic. the lamp light works well- not unrealistically overpowering, but a nice soft warm glow nonetheless. the shells look almost like they have a shadow problem similar to Poser nose glow, but the effect is similar to appropriate shell translucence. the petals' bright softness plays a perfect counterpoint to the dark stone top of the bureau. all the glass works well and looks interesting. i miss the caustics (just because i like them), but i'm not sure they'd be realistic in this scene. my first thought was that the bureau implied rock or sand beneath, but my second thought is that someone is adrift on the sea in a room of their belongings. either way, the composition is delightfully askew and surreal.
