Hey guys. This is my first post so please bare with me! This is an image that i completed last week. I tried to emulate my traditional painting technique using painter 7. Hope you like...GS

WOW!!....

I really like this! You have a great style, and the subject matter is right up my alley....

A few questions... how long did it take you? And have you done any proffesional illustrations?

[leecarter]

wow man....Gregg Staples....good to see you here . Being a fan of your art for years. Im suprised that theres not more professional comic book artists here. I know Duncan Fegrero is a big fan of this community .
good to see your work up
cheers lee

I am a professional, i've worked in many areas such as fantasy and comics. I drew Judge Dredd for quite a while before concentrating mostly on fantasy. I formed a company with three other artists and we produce art for film and TV as well as tradition illustration. I'm still fairly new to Painter though, i spent an afternoon getting the drawing i wanted and then painted it the next day so about a day and a half in total.

I am so glad I have joined this forum and get a chance to learn all from you professionals. :p

That is amazing, The horses are just mindblowing.

[Phuzion]

Okay, yeah you kick mad ass.
Nice to see some of that good ol' Frazetta influence put to superb use. Especially since you've managed to create your own look and style with it, very very cool. Props to you man.
And your website kicks ass too. It's a little slow, but that's cool. Keep rockin' the spot bro! Peace

wow, brilliant! :chug:
*picks words back up off the ground* ... ummm :eek: can we see the initial drawing?

[Egets]

like is quite mild expression, I love it, emasing that you used computer to do this it looks like natural art very nice !!!!

[easydoesit]

I would love to know how you get a look like this. I realize its not something that can just be taught but I want my art to go this direction instead of proper rendering.

I've been looking at a lot of impressionists and I've been experimenting but I'm still not in the right frame of mind.

If you got any tips let me know.

Thanks
