[QUOTE="Jubei, post: 1368659, member: 16708"] Thank you for your complements. But I have a confession...I have been painting for a while, but in on and off spurts (my job doesn't leave much time for frivolity). I am new to putting my pictures for display for critique by others. I never thought I was that good until my friends made me feel otherwise. My artistic talents were comic books, and I was invited to join a subsidiary of Marvel comics (Epic Comics) to draw for them. I used to paint miniatures as a kid, but it was never as good as my sketches, so I got frustrated and dropped it for about 17 years. Now, painting as an adult, I find myself pouring over the detail, and the final product never ceases to amaze me. It's this whole god-like power that controls the final outcome of this pewter miniature, that seems animate and sentient. And yet no matter how well it comes out, I still find flaws and feel it wasn't worthy to stand up to comparison with the other far more talented artists. So I am sorry if I misled anyone in thinking I just started painting. But I did just recently stop being rigid in my painting technique, and just let my imagination take over. The results were far more superior. And here are a few more... [/QUOTE]
