Dream Machine

My personal homage to the magical arcade games of the 80s. At the time, you just had to get out to experience the best in video games and those crowded halls full of flashing lights, loud beeping noises that were nostalgically unclean were magical places. Although nowadays everything is cleaner and better looking, I feel that something has been lost.
I don't think I was particularly succesful with the overall composition especially in terms of composition and colors, but I do hope that it will bring back memories in some of you.

Provocateur

Erotic themed paintings are way off from what I do mostly, but it is good to change subject and technique once in a while. Credit for original photo goes to Miss Audrey aka DecoGoddess. You can check it out here:

Winter Sanctuary

I started this one several weeks ago and then I let it rest for a while. Sometimes it can be frustrating coming back to a painting and realizing the crap I was creating. That is what happened to me today when I went back to this painting. So, I made some overall changes and just had to call it finished...no use lingering on this one anymore.

Commissioned environment.

Submission for Exotique 6

Finished the undead army one...and here is a new one.

Here are two finished paintings (I think) and a new one I am working on, very much inspired by the beautiful paintings of Jeff Easley.

Something I've been working on based on an old church here in Lisbon.

Here's something I started yesterday.

I changed the previous forest into something quite different.

I think it's finished...for now, at least.

Something I've been working over the last few days.

Update...it's nearing the point where there is probably not much to do to improve it. But it's been great practice...I'll probably still do a final update tomorrow.

Final update of the day...

Another update...adding color sometimes seems to take the interest off...

Let's see if this goes anywhere...

Starting my blog

This is my blog which I hope will force me to do weekly updates...(fat chance!)...
