Welcome friends, fellow artists, visitors and accidental surfers!
Yes you have arrived!
Are you ready now to take a stroll along the tortuous paths of a troubled mind, caught between the real and surreal, confused by its own shortcomings and browbeated by its possibilities!BIOName: Henk van Schepen

In work I settled down as a printer after having numerous jobs,(you know, with kids come the responcebillity of a steady income) but in my heart I have always been an Artist.
I have been thought the basics of painting by Sierk Schroder, one of the greatest portraitpainters of the last century!, and did a course in advertising and design. I'v done some freelance work over the years, illustrated books and ads, had a few vernissages, but never did I make enough money to make a living.
in 1999 I got my first pc(pentium family,166mhz), and it was love at first site, I fooled around with Coreldraw a little, Photoshop 2.
A year later I bought a real machine(for that time) a P 2 360/64mb/11.8 gb. and untill now I am still working with this one, with a lot of upgrades! Then I discouvered the real graphic programs, PS 7, Poser4/5, Bryce, Terragen, etc and now I am in desperad need of a new PC! for
the things I want to do can not or hardly been done on this one.
Now I'v started my own company (freelance)"Bull57-Creative Graphics", hopefully I make some extra money to make this dream come true!

something is very off with your bride..i cant quite put my finger on it but her head looks too small for her body..I dunno, just out of proportion

might be the shadow from the hat..

Nice job with the blowing of the dress and creating the main shadows to match the background. The dark shadow from the hat seems odd, as it suggests a strong light source off to the right. The only other thing that catches my attention as odd is the way the woman is holding the gun. That may be intentional--parhaps she's not meant to know how to handle a gun or is too upset to think about it?

cute, and what you did with the thumbnail made me blow coffee all over! It is so true though....I did a naked Lara Croft out of annoyance and it got so many more hits than my real art work.:( Glad you keep your sense of humor..

Bull57 You may be right in a few cases, but just showing the female chest in a thumbnail is not a guarantee to get more hits than a non-nude piece. Far too many pages will prove you wrong, just look at the post "Experiment in Dynamics" -naked breasts in the thumbnail YES, top hit getter on its page NO! In fact ELEVEN of the posts on that page without any reference to "tits" outperformed in hits. Interesting art gets the hits, not "tits". Sorry
