Well, it's been a long while, hasn't it... Well I am finally here, updating with something new!

"Judith" is my first personal piece in around 2 years of doing only commercial work. Working on this piece took me a lot of time: many hours were spent on thinking and composing it in my head, 40 hours of pure painting and a dozen hours for preparing the accompanying files.Painted in Photoshop with a Wacom Intuos 4 medium. I used photo and live references for loose inspiration and stylization. No copying whatsoever. You can view them here: [link]

For those, who actually read the descriptions... See the "Making of" of this piece at my blog: [link]


PS. I doubt anyone would find it offensive due to stylization, but I am tagging the mature warning on due to nudity, just for case.

I have found this fascinating...........I didn't realise you could get this degree of realism with digital tools. I have been a traditional artist all my life and have achieved a high degree of realism in my work using conventional techniques.
I am very very impressed with what you have done.

This is--of course--spectacular, but I came to look more closely because of your title. In art, we always see Judith during or after her beheading of Holofernes; I've always wondered why no-one painted her as a temptress. She seduced an opposing general, exhausted him into a deep sleep, and then killed him--that takes a talent and allure far beyond the murderous.

I like that her expression is seductive and yet ambiguous; this is clearly an intelligent woman. (Perhaps I'm reading a hint of danger into her expression because of her name, as well.) Fascinating, and gorgeously rendered.

photopaint over ...if not.. where are the pencil drawings.. an artist painting in oils. acrylics.would have a dozen pencil and colour roughs..

here we see .. nothing but a paintover pretending to be a painting ..the video omits the photo layer when recording..

honesty is the best policy..deviant art has a lot of this deception.. painter/photographer..

Seeing as you obviously are physically incapable of reading the description and looking at the link, I will be kind and help you out. [link]
