I've been doing digital art for a few years, and tend towards a fantasy/sci-fi genre, but am not limited to it.
I use primarily male subjects because if I'm going to work at a piece for hours, I might as well enjoy looking at it, plus, EVERYONE uses females, especially nude, which is just boring. No NANV pictures for me. ("NANV" = "Not ANOTHER nude Victoria"). Sadly, this is why I'll never be "Artist of the Month".Â
Well, that and I'm slower than dirt when it comes to art.Â
Oh, and despite my subject matter, I am female and proud of it, thank you. ;)

BIO
I came from an artistic family - my father (who was also an engineer) played french horn in the symphony for many years, and my mom was a professional ballet dancer with a love for art history that eventually became the subject of her Masters Degree. I was an only child and over the years I studied (to varying degrees of success) art, writing, film, ballet and modern, clarinet, acting, and even bagpipe (for about a year). A lot of these didn't pan out, but I am still able to draw experience from all of them.
In college, I double majored in Film Production and Graphic Design, and it was there that I truly learned to embrace my geek side, getting into comic books, RPGs, and video games, which somehow lead to more writing and art. While I didn't have much in the way of computer training, I had friends who were and picked up a lot from them. I like to think my works draw from all aspects of my background and the things I've learned not just in a technical sense, but in a psychological sense as well. I also believe you have to try new things, and occasionally take some critical lumps if you're ever going to improve. We're always learning. :)
Currently I am a graphics designer/web designer/print designer/multimedia designer/whatever else needs designing designer at a local video production/advertising house. But what I really want is to win the lottery. ;)

A great idea but possibly it might work a little better if there wasn't such a dramatic change, the gold is quite overpowering. Also it's rather unclear as to just which it is they're changing to. Is there danger (other than knocking over the barrel) or has it passed? Their facial expressions suggest the latter, but you never know. I'd love to see you revisit this at some time.

Ive been looking at this for about fifteen minutes, trying to figure out some kind of solution for you. You're right: it doesnt quite work, and I'm not sure that maybe it's because the kind of change you're talking about requires us to either see it in motion or across a series of images so we get a sense of direction and movement.

Very hard to put into reality. I see where you are going, I think you are 80% there, but something is amiss... having said that, not sure what would help, but I think it has to do with depth? the layers, sya from his left fore arm, which is foremost, to his right fore arm, which is furthest back, looks flat? Where the bit at the top of his left thigh is perfect, the depth works perfectly! Thanks in oart to the subtle but effective shadowing. I think the idea is worth further work.
