Art Rage -- portrait videos (Ray Tsang)

I've been using Art Rage for nearly a year now-- really impressed with the natural media look/feel-- especially the oil paints! i will be posting some of my artwork using it, very soon..

until then-- i came across this very talented artist, Ray Tsang, who is using it for portraits

Artist spotlight - Craig Mullins

One of my favorite modern artist's-- a legend in the entertainment industry as a concept artist and designer.. he's also the 'Godfather' of speed painting-- which is widely used by most concept artist's to quickly communicate ideas/composition, etc.. i just love his use of texture in his imagery

i had the pleasure of working with him on 2 James Bond games (Agent under fire and Goldeneye: Rogue Agent) -- he did various matte paintings, concepts, etc..



check out his website-- he showcases both traditional and digital paintings: http://www.goodbrush.com/

Artist spotlight - Carol Marine

..check out the artwork of Carol Marine! i just love her still life paintings! (the way she applies her paint-- loose brush strokes, choices of color, composition, etc..) i just discovered her work about 6-8 weeks ago, and i'm really glad that i did! she's an amazing/inspiring artist!
