Felt like painting a landscape, and it turned into again mountains and a river. Really wish I could go to this place.

Decided to practice on real life subjects from now on. Today it was an apple :) I think this is my first attempt at realistic digital painting of an apple. Not bad, I guess, but I don’t like the lighting… The room is pretty dark and the apple was lit from the back. I need to figure out a better lighting for the future subjects.
I’ll bake a pie out of this apple later ^_~
Ragnarok Online 2 was launched on May 1, and we could truly call it a mayday. Today, the warp portal is still down for the most time and people can’t launch the game or create an account.
I couldn’t launch the game either, so I tried a few things. Running in compatibility mode or as an administrator did not help. Instead, I opened RO2_Option.ini (located inside RO2 folder), found the line “SHOW” and changed 0 to 1. And now it works perfectly fine!
If it still doedn’t work fo you, go to your RO2/VIDEO folder and rename the intro.avi and intro.smi into something else and the game should work :)

Originally, I just wanted to create a background picture for my photography website and I got a little carried away, I guess. Nevertheless, I like how it turned out. This is my first attempt of painting space art. I wanted to paint this for a while now since our universe is such an amazing and inspiring place. Hopefully, there is more space art to come *_*

In the beginning of March I was lucky enough to go to the Top Gear Festival in Sydney, Australia.
Panoramic view of the track.
The view from the tribune.
I’ve spent an extra hour on this and touched up on the jellyfish and some details. I think the piece looks more finished now.
First artwork after a two-week vacation. Couldn’t sleep because of headache, so I decided to draw.

First digital practice piece of this year.

This piece was inspired by a very colorful and bright person. It seems she had her hair dyed in all possible colors :) Artwork is called Cold Fire because she looks cold on the outside, but there’s fire in her heart!

This painting was inspired by my first visit to North Carolina, USA. There are quite a few wonderful lighthouses in NC, and this is one of them :)
The mysterious lighthouse stands lonely on the shores of the cold sea. The water shimmers with color on this moonless night. The salty air diffuses the horizon. It seems like nothing exists around the lighthouse but the darkness.

Just a sketch of my current work.
A good friend helped me by critiquing this painting, so I went back and edited some details a bit. I think it looks much better now, especially her hands!

The original photo which I used as the reference was so sunny and light that I just kept seeing sunflowers in this picture. Still not entirely pleased with the results, since the picture seems a bit dark and flat to me :( I will try to improve in my next practice.
