Blue, didn't you say you're work as a graphics artist? Got any tips or tutorials for the effects you use? I'm asking this because I really like your works and am pretty naive with graphic arts.

Er, I'm a computer science student XD, drawing is just a fun pass-time for me :\.

And uhm I'm not really sure what to say for tutorials and tips, I kinda just play around with brush settings. It's something you really learn through experience more than anything else. If you want some examples, you can try searching for mathias verhasselt's speed painting videos on youtube. He's an awesome artist, and like can do things >9000x better than anything I can do right now lol.

Huh, for some reason I thought I remembered hearing you say you worked in the graphics department. Wanted to know if you had any insight on the matter :0

And again, I really like your works. Has a similar brush stroke to the GW art in how the lines are simultaneously incomplete/complete. Did you use a lot of filters in these two works, or were they just simply done "freehand"?
