Above The Clouds

Not A Photographic Manipulation...

This is a background that I roughed in for a painting that I'm working on...Someone at the terminal where I painted this said, that it was good as it was so I decided to post it as is for now, and gave the background a title. 2 Days of work on and off. Based on a stock photo from beefstock [link]

Again this is NOT a photo manip...and is only the start of a completed work hopefully soon to be finished.

To Bite The Butt That Feeds You

NOT A PHOTOGRAPHIC MANIPULATION !
Remember the Coppertone Ad? Little girl's panties being pulled down by a puppy to reveal a bare white bottom...? Ah, Now it comes back to you...lol. Well, that ad was the inspiration for this. Here a sexy teen is about to have a repeat of that very same scenario. The only credit I can give here is the featured pooch named "RUBY". This little dog was so perfect for a reference used to paint by because she was in the perfect position and pose when I finished the teen...name unknown. This is an attempt at pure photo realism...didn't quite do it I know, but I had a lot of fun. Ruby can be found here via a direct link to the reference...[link] And the kind Tigg-stock gave me permission to paint Ruby...[link] Thanks to Tigg-stock for the great stock and permission...Now, it's time for a beer...oh, about 60 hrs work here...yep! Adobe Photoshop 6.0 and a wacom Tablet...

Happy Birthday Yasmae

Here we have a painting that I thought would never get finished...originally scheduled to be finalized on May 13th for my birthday, she is now complete slightly late...Based on a character of mine named "Yasmae", here she is posing at her own B-Day party for all her friends and family at "Salsa's"...a well known lesbian bar located in Tie City.

Tech info...Totally Hand painted using Adobe Photoshop 6.0 with some filter work in post. Please note this is NOT a PHOTOGRAPHIC MANIPULATION. None of my works are...unless noted. The model used for this pose is unknown.

KNKOW NEWS

It's finally done...the test to see how I can tell my stories in an entertaining way. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you KNKOW News, Sports and Weather set in the day of Space and future intergalactic adventures. The idea is to possibly tell a few events of Tie and her family in the style of radio interviews. Now, let me set this up. Keep in mind that this is a very poor man's process. All I have is this truck I drive, and no microphone to record actual quality conversations. I use a creative media player that has a built in microphone to do all the recordings, transferr it to my laptop computer, mix it with sounds from the internet, and there you have it.

So enjoy this test, and I hope you get a laugh or two...

Major Change at Elfwood

Got an email from Elfwood, and they say, they are allowing "non fantasy" works now...to be placed in the "Other Works" section on our galleries.
"quote"
"An important aspect of the new rules set is the introduction of an
"Other Works" tab for Elfwood user accounts. Under that tab,
everything that isn't within genre for the area will be placed by the
moderators. This could include anything from pictures of your dog, to
too-low-quality stuff. In practice, this means that the moderators
will only reject extreme violence, porn and stolen/illegal material -
everything can end up under the "other works" tab if it is out of
genre."
Mart says...
I personally believe that this will reboost the interest in Elfwood that we all had at one time, and give us, "the artists" more freedom of expression and not limited to just fantasy or sci-fi...
I also believe that this will make a more positive affect on their membership and increase the comments which will build a closer relationship once again like we once had. A family group of great friends.
I do hope this works and brings us all back together like the good ole days...instead of the days we have now...a gentle and random hello from time to time.

I'm so excited

I found and contacted a great photographer Craig Morey who is a fine art photographer of nude women. He has graciously allowed me to use some of his works to paint Pin Ups!!! (and whatever else I come up with). Now isn't that just fantastic! You bet it is. Of course as in all my works thus far, I never sell my stuff. Hell it ain't worth selling anyway. But, to get to do some "real" digital painting of some of his models, is just a dream come true. It beats trying to use models from Deviant Art when they don't want you to post anything provocative. Now, I get the chance to explore wonderful ladies in stunning detail and not a faded fuzzy cam pic...
