[The8Animals8]

[jantheempress]

@The8Animals8 :) Thanks!

[scribe712]

I use Photoshop (I create abstract photography), but I've never seen it used like this to draw. Your work is absolutely incredible!

[jantheempress]

@scribe712 I got CS4 suite last year and am still learning how to use it. There's just soooo much that can be done with these programs! Prior to that I was using freeware like Gimp & grafitti application on facebook All pretty cool programs :) I'd love to get more involved with photography too. hehe I wanna do it all!! Thanks for the encouragement and kind words, much appreciated :)

[scribe712]

@jantheempress You're welcome! I use CS4 too and the more I learn, the more I need to learn. My photography teacher said there's so much to the program I'll probably only end up using 10% of it. I'd like to learn more about the other 90%! Keep doing what you do! I look forward to seeing more of your work. You've definitely got skills!

Jan, I have been drawing for about 25 years, I think I'm (and have been told by others lol) a good free hand artist. I draw for people that want tattoos or a picture for the wife lol I did a couple murals for some doctors. and I do it for therapy for a wrist thats needs to be fused together. (just to keep it lose and moving) bottom line is when I see your work it just blows me away, I know it's done by computer, but I seen your free hand work also and all your works is awesome. thanks 4 sharing.

[jantheempress]

@ragingbull124 Thanks Dave :D

Looks just like him. The poor kid.Everybody teased him in school with his 'shiny complexion'. It's a miracle he only had those few zits. ;^)

Very nice indeed Jan.

[jantheempress]

@PuppyZwolle LOL God bless that ancient Egyptian Zit cream!

[PuppyZwolle]

@jantheempress Expensive and effective; the Egyptian upper class way. ;^)

[jantheempress]
