Artist's Comments

Original photo by Edward Sheriff Curtis in 1926 [link]

And the spirit lives on! Just have a look here: [link]
Thanks *BrainyB!


Drawn with Corel Photopaint 8 using a tablet (Intuos 2).

Original size: 2730 x 3650 px

Daily Deviation

Given 2005-09-24

It's not only the technical handling that impresses me, but the fact that the reference used for Bear Bull - Blackfoot by *wendelin is a monochromatic photograph. The full view just seriously blows me away with all the details and amazingly naturalistic color tones. (Suggested by =Kyena and Featured by $chix0r)

So beautiful and seeing the ref I actually wonder if it was not the other way round. He used yours to create his...
The Skin colors are awesome..the hair..everything..gosh. Makes me really wonder how you create such masterpieces.

What resolution do you work at?
