Description
More commissioned work!Peter Gabriel makes me feel like this.
I decided to experiment with style- trying to combine my watercolor with digital work. I'm nervous working with it, but this idea in particular seemed to cry out for texture.
Hopefully people dig this- it was a fight from start to finish! But I'm pleased with the result, and I want to try more as I go along!
This was for based on the piece: [link]

I'm still trying to iron out the kinks in the process of blending both- but I'm glad people seem to respond to this one!

Oh wow, that's a fantastic technique. The mix of texture and color--and the overall composition--create a very serene yet powerful feeling. Fantastically done!
Do you think you'll do anything with this style in the near future?

I think I may! It's hard to make this style work, since it involves a little frustrating back-and-forth between watercoloring and the computer- but it may just be worth figuring it out! Seems like people really like it- and it feels, in the end, close to my heart, art-wise.

Close to the heart--definitely a success, then! I hope you do figure it out.
--So which parts are watercolor and which are digital, then? Looks quite seamless.

Well- if you look at my other recent watercolor sketches- you know that blue? Yeah- this was all just Prussian Blue, and then I scanned it in and did the color digitally

Woah crazy long DA hiatus I just had. Um. I think I like this cause it reminds me of some of your early work that you were doing when I found you on here. A slightly rougher texture and similar color schemes, perhaps....

So I was going through the latest deviations (just skimming through them) and then I glanced at this just as I was going to the next page and I was like, WAIT WAIT WAIT. So I went back to have a closer look and just... had to fave this.
Oh, this? it's incredible.
