Created in Photoshop & Painter.

Constructive crits are welcome. I would still like to improve on lighting and reflections, as well as starting to get into brushwork styles. After a year or more with Painter it's finally starting to feel comfortable! ]]> Sat, 02 Feb 2008 15:43:31 +0000 http://tamara.cgsociety.org/gallery/575481

Part of a series of 4 involving the seasons and the female form.

Created as a mix of media using a base stock photo for the body, heavily worked in both Painter and Photoshop.

This piece was created as a gift for my mother for the holidays this year. I spent about 60 hours learning as I went as part of my transition to complete 2D without the use of 3D assistance and was done in Photoshop CS and Painter IX.5.

Reference material included photos of my mother's sofa fabric for the kimono so it would match...beacuse my mother ALWAYS matches. Also , the face reference came from a photo my father shot many years ago, which has become a family favorite.

This was output to 24x36 size and custom-framed as the final output.

This image was recently selected as a back cover feature winner for Aphrodesia II: The Art of the Female Form to be published by Aristata Publishing.

This was basically an exercise in merging 2D with 3D and also in mood and cloth textures.]]> Tue, 02 Jan 2007 08:34:53 +0000 http://tamara.cgsociety.org/gallery/375383

One of the first images I have done that is completely 2D. Thank to Rebecca Kimmel for the help in the anatomy workshops! Done using only Painter and Photoshop. I chose to replace the usual apple with a pomegranate, sometimes found in depictions of Mary, also important in the Greek Orthodox faith. Jewish tradition also teaches that the pomegranate is a symbol for righteousness.]]> Thu, 29 Jun 2006 02:03:02 +0000 http://tamara.cgsociety.org/gallery/446555
