EZpaint's Finished Works Updated *March 29 2013*

**EZpaint** · March 3rd, 2011, 02:35 AM

I'm pretty much a self taught artist, fresh out of grad school and currently at a 9-5 job in Tokyo. Unfortunately, my job has nothing to do with art - but still chugging along! I'd like to get better, so I will try to post more here!

UPDATE: *March 29 2013*

These is are a couple of watercolors I did, "The year of the Tiger" and "the Year of the Rabbit"

Some digital stuff...

Flying Frogs and their young

Two images done in a Showa-era style.
One is from the game Vocaloid, the other is for a milk company.

Photoshop CS3

Best Regards,

Two words Wow! Awesome!

**Benjamin-the-Fox** · March 7th, 2011, 05:08 PM

I really like these pieces, and was surprised to see the last two were photoshop pieces. Did you add a watercolor paper texture to them, because they look very traditional.

I like the first piece, but, sad to say, while the tigers look very nice and I like the way the tree is painted, the kid looks very flat, like he's a paper doll pasted into the page. I think if we could see his knees it would work a lot better.

**Icedearth15876** · March 7th, 2011, 06:55 PM

Very good work, your coloring is very good... Keep up the good work

**EZpaint** · March 7th, 2011, 07:40 PM

WickedWild'N'Wise: Thank you very much

Benjamin-the-Fox: Thanks for the crit, I can definitely see where your coming from in regard to the Tiger piece. I was trying to blend two styles together and I guess it didn't gel to well in this instance. Will keep those points in mind in the future. As for the last two digital pieces - I overlaid some paper textures onto the digital painting in order to better capture the feel of the era.
Icedearth15876: Thank you, will certainly keep trying!

**EZpaint** · March 7th, 2011, 09:40 PM

A few more pieces, a couple of inked illustrations and a couple more watercolors.

Cheers,

EZpaint

really great pure colors, it gives your work a lot of life. I love the flying tree frogs the most.

**Dahami** · March 8th, 2011, 12:05 AM

I love the flying frogs. I would like the watercolors more if they were larger on screen, or if there were close ups of just the characters or more detailed portions.

**EZpaint** · March 8th, 2011, 12:45 AM

Mr.Punch: Thanks for the comment, I've been meaning to try things on a more muted palette lately. However, it seems I just love colors a tad too much.

Thanks for the comment, here are a couple of detail shots from the first two watercolor pieces.

Cheers!

Another digital piece of mine. "Dragons Tale"

Cheers,

**NeecHMonkeY** · July 12th, 2011, 12:56 AM

Nice work and good to see a fellow artist in Tokyo.

**EZpaint** · July 12th, 2011, 10:28 PM

3 more pieces:

2 manga/anime style pieces as personal exploration

1 piece that was for a product which ended up not happening so... that is why she's holding...nothing

Best Regards,

EZpaint

**Marlo** · July 13th, 2011, 02:13 AM

did you paint the Shadowscape tarot card deck art? amazing works by the way *3*

**BSUR** · July 13th, 2011, 04:03 AM

Your watercolors are sweet. And I like the flying frogs a lot. Great job!

**EZpaint** · July 13th, 2011, 05:04 AM

Marlo: Thanks for the kind words - Unfortunately, the shadowscapes deck was painted by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law, Not me XD

BSUR: Thank you! I love doing watercolors, if only I had more space!

Man...My thread has been gathering dust.

Valentines days is once again here...drew this in a bout of inspired annoyance.

Succubus DESTROY chocolates.

(read up on valentine's day in Japan and it will become clear - so infuriating haha)

Medium: Pencils/Photoshop

Cheers!

Happy New Years Everyone, I have been around just lurking more often than not.
Working on some new pieces but have been banished to a bamboo while the intuos is in the repair shop.

I have really enjoyed looking at your pictures here. I'm amazed at your Bulbasaur, you kept the character of the cartoon critter but it still looks convincing as a real animal. I'm not really qualified to give you painting advice but I think that you could make it stand out a little more from the background. It looks like you could darken the darkest shadows on it.

I also think that the painting of the girl with the roses in the background is to good to leave unfinished. Perhaps you should give her something else to hold in her hand to complete it?

**Syle** · February 5th, 2013, 07:37 PM

That blue tree in your watercolor is pure bliss! I like your style a lot; it's clean and smooth looking. Very pleasing to the eye.

Hi Frida,
Thanks for your input! I will play around with the background some more to see if I can get a better balance.
For the girl with the roses, no plans at the moment but hopefully an inspired moment will strike me one day!

P.S I think your work is lovely

Syle,

I really appreciate your comments, it's hard juggling time between watercolors and digital work, but I think these two mediums bring out different sides of my work so I try to split my time between them.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by to comment

**Waipunga** · February 5th, 2013, 10:16 PM

Superb! So want to see more of your work as it is art like this that so inspires me. My thanks for your art.

Thank you for your kind words! Like I mentioned before, I really like the knives you did

Hopefully we can all get new work out soon!
