It was prior to all that reading up I did on color theory over the holidays, and it's obvious to me now... but that background took me forever, and I'm still very happy with certain elements of... http://stephaniels.gfxartist.com/artworks/81438 stephaniels Painting / Figure This piece was created primarily for a tutorial that I made on skintones. It is, therefore, quite simple. Just your run-of-the-mill elvish portrait. Enjoy, and please feel free to check out the link to the tutorial below! Photoshop CS http://stephaniels.gfxartist.com/artworks/81372 stephaniels Painting / Vehicle A CH-47 Chinook at sunset. This is what my husband flies. The chinook is my least favorite part of this - but then, for my first attempt at any type of vehicle whatsoever, I suppose it ain't too bad. Please feel free to tell me what I could do to improve. Thanks! Painter 8... http://stephaniels.gfxartist.com/artworks/68506 stephaniels Drawing / Nature I realized I don't have very many drawings up here, so I thought I'd post this. Pretty simple, I know. Mostly, this was just me trying to reteach myself how to use colored pencils. I really think the flower ended up with a good deal of depth to it, though - which I liked.... http://stephaniels.gfxartist.com/artworks/65007 stephaniels Painting / Figure Is there anyone who smiles without a mask? Painter 8 & Photoshop CS http://stephaniels.gfxartist.com/artworks/64877 stephaniels Painting / Figure The setting is sometime in the not-too-distant future. What is the meaning of the red X painted above the window? Something similar to the plague? A way for something or someone to mark their next victims? Is it meant to keep people out... or in? Photoshop CS http://stephaniels.gfxartist.com/artworks/61217 stephaniels Painting / Uncategorized In a time of chemical and biological warfare, this soldier risks his life for that of a child. Photoshop 7 & Photoshop CS http://stephaniels.gfxartist.com/artworks/59945 stephaniels Painting / Uncategorized I wrote a haiku to go along with this one, just for fun. It pours on my life. This freezing rain soaks through me, Lonely, not alone. Photoshop 7. http://stephaniels.gfxartist.com/artworks/59612 stephaniels Painting / Figure Her name, as well as the season in which the trees seem to be caught up in, is Autumn. I do realize that this is a fairly simple piece that lacks ... creativity. It was a technical exercise for me more than anything else, as well as a bit of a surprise for someone. A simple portrait, if... http://stephaniels.gfxartist.com/artworks/57580 stephaniels Painting / Uncategorized The category placement of this one depends a great deal upon how it is interpreted, and so into "uncategorized" it goes. This is an image that filled my head one night as I was falling asleep. The realism isn't as high on this as some of my other pieces, but I... http://stephaniels.gfxartist.com/artworks/57180 stephaniels Painting / Nature This mother wolf stands protectively outside her den. If you look carefully in the darkness within, you may see the tiny pinpricks of light that are her pup's eyes. My wonderful hubby named this one. The fur is a bit better than I used to manage, but the lighting looked odd in this... http://stephaniels.gfxartist.com/artworks/56376 stephaniels Painting / Nature A bengal tiger getting ready to pounce! This is a slightly older piece. The fur isn't as good as I can manage now, but I still love the pose on this one and thought I'd put it up. Photoshop 6 http://stephaniels.gfxartist.com/artworks/56290 stephaniels Painting / Uncategorized This redhead sits contemplatively atop a wall, looking out at what seems to be a post-apocalyptic skyline. Okay, this piece has been redone. It needed contrast, and it was being absolutely butchered by monitors that were fairly bright. It should now look good on just about every monitor.... http://stephaniels.gfxartist.com/artworks/53769 stephaniels Painting / Figure Will o' the Wisps delight in luring this unwary traveler into deadly peril. Thinking about desaturating her hair even further, though I'll have to get a look at this one from a few different monitors and see how it looks.
