Thought I would render something a bit more painterly this time. Felt like doing a chiaroscuro so I did.

sexy!

Very nice lylejk.

Thanks Tran; thanks Dalia. Don't do enough painterly renders like I use too (and hardly ever had here).

I really like that effect.

Whats a painterly render?

As opposed to a woodcut, or object based render. Watercolors, oils, etc. are painterly renders (at least to my mind's eye).

Awesome Lyle! I love painterly renders - fantastic work .

To me, painterly render would simply mean a result that looks painted.

Nice work lylejk! It feels like airbrush artwork to me rather than traditional "painting". You could make some very cool renditions of the xenomorphs from Alien using this technique I imagine (H.R. Giger was primarily an airbrush artist).

Griatch

Was going for the glow feel and it does remind me of the glow that Giger was able to do (of course this subject is far from what he does; lol), Griatch. Yeah; more of an illustration type of painting but still a painterly result unlike say my lightning or packing binges. lol

Nice Lyle. Whatever you do comes up pretty good.

That hax, here we are painting away and you play with filters and make a better result! ....
Nice work!

Definitly appreciate the comments, but you are wrong. Your art is both a heck of a lot better and from your own hand. I'm just a faker.

You found a "short cut"!
