New work-in-progress titled "Embrace"

Hey everyone, :)

Here is an image that I'm currently working on that I started last week. It's still very rough and needs a whole lot of work. So far though, the process is flowing for me and I am happy with the way it's coming along. I want this image to be very sexy, warm and romantic (and yes I am going for a bit of a romance novel cover style) ;).

I may make a lot of changes to it like the clothing for example. I want to look at some reference material for the type of clothing that I want to create for them.

Aside from working on this new painting I had also recently re-designed my blog yet again to resemble my Zazzle store's look a bit. I was never completely happy with my old blog design and am now pretty satisfied with it. Now, time to finish my new website! :)

New zazzle shop design!

I recently re-designed and coded my zazzle shop. I'ts just about finished now, I may or may not add more to it. Overall I am very happy with the way it turned out though I think now my zazzle store looks much better than both my website and blog. I guess it's time to work on my web and blog designs again. I want to completely re-do both now.

New blog design and print shop

Hey everyone, :)

Aside from re-designing my blog a bit I also have a new redbubble print shop which you can check out here.



I am also happy to have found out that my most recent painting titled "Akanksha" was chosen as one of the weekly selections on CG gallery and also as a standout on digitalart.org.



Here are links to the two sites.

New finished image titled "Akanksha"

Hey everyone,

Finally I have finished this one, it took a while to finish since I have been also working on another painting as well.

I got inspired to paint this image after looking at many beautiful images of clothing designs from India. The patterns and jewelry took a lot of time but I enjoyed painting them. My own story for this image is that she is a young bride to be who is trapped in an arranged marriage and secretly desires another life. Her name is Akanksha which means desire.

Painted mostly in Photoshop with some extra work done in Painter.






Here is a close-up as well.

New oil painting titled "Mt. Umunhum"

Hey everyone,

Today I decided to paint a bit in oils so I painted a section of hills from the view of my balcony. The focal point of this image as you can see is that strange little building on the hill in the background. I decided to paint it since I find it so fascinating, It's one of the most interesting structures on these hills. This building is an old government radar site that had been abandoned. I wish I could go check it out but it's highly contaminated and not open to the public. I recently found this youtube video about the building which is pretty interesting.

New work-in-progress titled "Akanksha"

Hey everyone, :)

Currently I have quite a few works-in-progress that I work into on and off during my free time and I thought I'd post this one up here on my blog.

I actually started it quite a while ago and plan to work on it again soon. So far I think that this is the prettiest face that I have ever painted (will provide close-ups once it's done!). I'm still developing a story for her as the image evolves, there is still a whole lot of work to do but I'm happy with the way it's coming along. :)









I also recently created a new promotional page for my artwork on Facebook. If you like my art please take a look and become a fan if you like :)

New portrait

Hey everyone, :)

I took some time this Sunday to paint a portrait of my Grandfather and thought I would post it up here on my blog. I may or may not include it in the digital gallery section of my website since it's so different from all of my other digital work. In the future I may add categories for my digital gallery.

I was thinking about my grandfather a lot this weekend while packing boxes (I'm currently in the process of moving) and had to paint this portrait. I looked at an old photo of him that I love for reference. He was a wonderful grandfather and person. He told the best stories from his past and he lived an incredible life. I miss him so much.
