    Nick's Rage Against the Machine Spot

    I'll post art painted in this wonderful software, that I actually finish in here, if that's OK with everybody.

    First up - A piece I decided to call finished after a bit of last minute tinkering today. It's for a weekly challenge over at Imaginefx.com - the theme for this one being 'Twilight'. It's a bit grim, but I had a ball playing with knocking up custom stencils to use.

    It must definitely be getting close to Halloween... if I had hiccups, the moment I opened this they would be gone! LOL Great rendering, nothing like Barnabas Collins though, he was mild compared to this bloke!

    excellent DARK work..getting the form and textures at such a low-key value is so hard (for me) you seem to do it effortlessly.

    Gosh, thanks everybody for that warm reception to a creepy piece.

    Jim, I don't find this sort of tonal range any easier than you. I just kind of built it up slowly using a number of layers with different textures and blending modes. I went too far at one point and had to pull it back. Ask D Akey. He spotted it straight away and helped me clear my thoughts. Gave a great explanation of why he thought it didn't work too. Now that's what I call 'constructive criticism'. Excellent.

    Rowena - All the painting and drawing was done in ArtRage.
    The only thing I did in any other programme was prepare some image files I had, as single layer psd to import to make textural stencils. Do I pass?

    Cheers all,
    Nick

    Great painting, ah, with a roll-over to hear the rattling breath and the rusty hinge on the coffin -- fantastic image, well-rendered.
