Damn that's sick! Oils?

[Bruce Gulick]

Thanks Sage-it's all digital..I used a tablet and an app called Artrage Studio Pro..it has some of the best paint emulation tools out there. I'm putting together a set of flash, all biomechanical like this and doing it digitally saves a ton of time and looks cool as hell. I think it's pretty tattooable if it's approached like a portrait..and there's plenty of room for the tattooer to tweak it and add their own flair.

Nice stuff indeed! Sometimes I feel I should have embraced electronic media rather than sticking to brushes. The programs these days make it easy to get fills and effects, not to take away from your skills, it always takes a skilled hand and imagination to direct the creation of art. But I do kinda like getting my hands tangibly dirty;)
Looking forward to seeing more...

[Bruce Gulick]

I agree with you there about using real media..the past couple years I've been nothing but acrylics and watercolors but for a big project like a flash set I wanted to get back to some digital painting..it's no different in Artrage that "real" painting..at least color theory wise. I don't think it's an either-or scenario with digital art-I learned to paint on the computer and it helped a ton when I went to canvas..now all that canvas is helping a ton when I got back to digital. It's all fun as fuck!

Looks awesome mate, loving the almost prehistoric crustacean look to it. Will be uploading any shots of the flash set? Would be keen for a gander.

[Sage Oz]

Wait did you say you agree with me?!? Must be a full moon...;)

Thats lookin great man. Great contrasts

[Blondan]

Just installed the IPad version. It's amazing. Thank you for the tip. I love the option to take a picture and trace on it or take a picture of a tattoo for example and sketch over it on a different layer. IMO is the best I've used so far. If anyone uses other iPad software please share. I'm also thinking to buy a Wacom stylus pen to use with the tablet.

[Bruce Gulick]

Oh get the stylus for sure! Glad you dig it~

[LauraP]

LOVE your light source. and the colours. and the flow. i probably just could have said "awesome"

[Bruce Gulick]

Thank you~really glad it appeals to you guys. I think I'm designing the stuff I wish I had tattooed on me. :)

Another go.

[Sage Oz]

Dig it but like the first one better. Could use some contrasting background, maybe royal blue/purples?

[Bruce Gulick]

Oh yeah there's a million ways to present it..one of the advantages of working digitally is having the thing saved at several different stages and also on layers, so if it's set up right you can just switch out backgrounds/foregrounds as you like or need. Very forgiving.

[Sage Oz]

Yeah way cool, it'd probably look good with firery red/oranges
