Greetings true believers! I am your standard issue corporate lackey who wishes he would have the chance to use his creative side more often. Maybe I should have majored in something other than Business, huh? I live in Tennessee with my wife, dog, and my little girl. I have only recently started drawing again, and I am having a great time with it! I was looking through an old sketchbook and got inspired to pick up a pencil again after 10 years or so. I have always loved fantasy, mythology, Arthurian legend, and anything else that triggers my imagination. I have never seriously pursued art, or worked very hard at developing what talent I have. I mostly spent time drawing during lectures or drawing comic book characters. I am more interested now in getting better and more accurate with my drawing. I was delighted when I stumbled across Elfwood, and I am inspired to keep drawing every time I come around. I am quite intimidated by the incredible art here, but also very excited to be a small part of this wonderful group. I will continue to update as I do more work. Y'all come back now, ya'hear!

Your style is very distinctive and crisp. Overall the form and subject material is great. Your style is often that preferred for book illustrators as it is often easiest to reproduce. Keep up the good work.

:-) Dal Gibbons replies: "Thanks for the kind words Phillip! "

Thank you for the kind words about my work. I like youres better of course I've always been told that most artists don't think they're good and always like other folks stuff.

:-) Dal Gibbons replies: "I think that is true for me. I tend to be overly critical of my work, and more appreciative of others."

Your work lends itself well to digital colouring, i'd wager. Great linework. Kind words deserve kind in turn!

First off, thank you for the comment on my gallery.

I like the 'Battle Rider' picture though it does feel static. Drawing on what Antti was saying, what I was always drilled on was 'line variety! line variety!' I've been using it more and more and it really creates movement and depth in an image. I'm not sure how to explain it without a visual aid... Bah. Let me ponder on this.

Anyway, I would like to see some of your photoshop work. You've definitely got something 'goin on.' =P
