SF&F Picture 9 out of 13 by Bill Thomas.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Prediction

I found this old photo i took of my own hand, and used it as a reference to draw it. The face was taken from a photo of a mate, and the photo just happened to have these really cool shadows on it. I scanned the drawing, then touched it up in paint shop pro and photoshop and also added the black background. The hardest thing to get was the effect of depth, and i tried a gradual blurring from near the elbow upwards, just to experiment with focusing.

3 Feb 1999	Liz (Z10 - Loth38)	Loading... Ok, this is cool. Kinda like that Echer painting. Love the perspective, and excellent shading. Rock on!
28 Mar 1999	GreyMurphy	Loading... Very interesting. Good blending of arts, tho.
12 Apr 1999	Aeolis	Loading... -=smiles=- This is good. 'Nuf said.
30 Jun 1999	Pantharan	Loading... Escher. Very very escher - it was an ink drawing (as I recall) of himself as he stared into his reflection on a glass sphere. Escher - now there's a surrealist great! Now, before I diverge to much, great pic. You would not believe how many typos I've erased in this paragraph.
1 Sep 1999	Rebecca E. Vallez	Loading... Ooh, wow. This is neat! I like it! The blurring for the difference in focus is very good. I hadn't ever thought of trying that. Nothing of mine warrants something like it, but it's good to keep in mind. nod Keep up the good work.
6 Aug 2000	Jenni	Loading... it really has this sense of the future, like in the fantasy books, the neverending suspension the predictment of what is going to happen...
28 Sep 2000	Bud	Loading... omg how the hell do you make it do that?!?!?
14 Nov 2000	Nathan Neil Phillips	Loading... This looks truly spectral. And as the others said, it does look Escher-like, but Esher never made anything truly magical.
24 Oct 2002	Veggie Tales	Loading... Ok a nice picture but toatl y computerized along with every other fing picture of yours on this d--- page.
6 Dec 2002	amberly	Loading... I like this a lot. (and what's wrong with computerized? Computer art is actually one of the more difficult things to learn!)
