Thanks for the fave and comment! I keep promising myself to turn some of these images into three-dimensional sculpts. Seeing artwork like yours is a good inspiration. Keep on huffin' that Sculpey!

Forgot to read the fine print when you sold your soul to be an artist, eh?
Same here.

Nice work, my friend.......and as far as the Valkyrie goes, it's one Valhalla of a place to go.......(my apologies, too polymer clay fumes in my brain still)...

Thanks! I'm think that much of my newer work (and reworks of older material) has a lot to do with the synergistic effect of being around so many other artistic influences here on DA. Thanks for the fave as well!

awesome work Tom
did you draw it in photoshop?

savageworlds In reply to seed-of-january [2009-06-23 19:45:15 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the compliment! The program that I have used for almost two decades is a painting program called 'icture Publisher' from Micrografx. The program was bought by Corel several years ago, but they never released it for sale. It is similar to Photoshop in many ways, but the last time I bought a copy it was only about $90.00. It is very user-friendly and has lots of features that cost extra with Photoshop. Someday I may switch, but not just yet.

Amazing Tom - this is definitely the best Valkyrie I've ever seen! (I usually associate them with really weird operas.)

Fantastic work! i love the eyes (or what looks like,)in the corners at the top of the wings. A great symetrical piece Tom.

Thanks, Jeff! The 'eyes' were pretty much a happy accident, but I'll gladly take credit. Glad you enjoyed it.

Wow! It looks incredible! The total wingspan must be at least 20 feet.

LOL I'll have to see if I can get her to unfurl those wings so I can measure. Thanks for the fave!
