I find it helps using an oil brush you can "dirty" with other colours already on the canvas, and also not taking too much care over what colour I use, which gives a bit of painterly variation. I wish I could think of more to say!simon dominichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03772604719665810092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277040860667879359.post-14471564404766918242008-11-28T14:35:00.000-08:002008-11-28T14:35:00.000-08:00Great illustration and creature- can't ask for mor...Great illustration and creature- can't ask for more than that :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00324195939788978434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277040860667879359.post-10468520662915790972008-11-27T03:59:00.000-08:002008-11-27T03:59:00.000-08:00instant fav...well if I could fav it...saved to my...instant fav...well if I could fav it...saved to my fav ref. folder in my HD instead<BR/>this is beautiful and original<BR/>reminds a little of a miyazaki monster...which movie was it?

I see a bit of monarch butterfly, fish, cephalopod, kelp, spider, etc. I like how most of its sensory and manipulative organs are concentrated on the frontmost segment of its body. The storytelling aspect is great, too. Very mysterious.<BR/>Again, I must comment on the way you paint the noisy, naturalistic textures of rocks and vegetation and such. You do it so tastefully and so well. Can you share any tips with us on how you achieved those textures?Moaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14149373854768008667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277040860667879359.post-47534401362702514462008-11-26T12:11:00.000-08:002008-11-26T12:11:00.000-08:00Thanks Vinod & Mike! :)Thanks Vinod & Mike! :)simon dominichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03772604719665810092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277040860667879359.post-43465829955664128552008-11-26T11:34:00.000-08:002008-11-26T11:34:00.000-08:00This is so oddly, beautifully strange Simon.. lol ...This is so oddly, beautifully strange Simon.. lol such an awesome scene.
