Speaking of painting,.. after photoshop, and creating digital images lost its luster for me, I started painting, not that I didn't paint in art classes throughout school, but I started painting seriously, mostly because digital art and/or AI art can only become a print at the end of the day, making them only so valuable, a painting obviously can be printed, but the original is the only true one that exists, and it can become very valuable if a lot of people like it and want it, at first I started with the hardest level of painting, images that took a long time to create with lots of details, now I do paintings that take a few hours, and to tell the truth, I get just as much satisfaction from the latter, maybe more, because I know there's a lot more $ to make, and knowing it didn't take a month to create. Anyway, do we have any other painters in the house? I dumped a bunch of stuff on the Deviant Art site, old photoshop stuff, AI stuff and a few of my paintings too, if anyone cares, they're listed under "deepwak9" if you're interested, the majority of paintings are at the bottom of the page, I have about 400 images there, if you want to wade through them.

BTW the paintings there are older, and I have a bunch of new ones that haven't been posted yet, also I have to point out that when I was here competing, I learned a lot of good things that carried over into my paintings.
