June pictures

The work never ceases, forgive me for my lateness, though i am sure that nobody is reading this, I guess i am just holding a mirror to myself - perhaps with blogspots one can indulge in pretending they have an audience. This aside, my work to better my skills with digital art takes no end. This month i have finished a portrait of Vlad the Impaler and a work that is inspired by the myth of Inanna in the Underworld as well as the paintings of artists like Rubens and Jordaens - i enjoy much the challenge to do an artwork with a something reminiscent of older masters and academic painting. This is my hope any how and perhaps have many years of practise before me! The Bonds of Ereshkigal will be featuring also in the Illustrators Australia A3 Show in Northcote on June 15

These works were done with Photoshop CS5, but i have now bought CS6 and find it fantastic to say the least - I make alot of use of the mixing brush which is found in CS5 and CS6.
