Der Smoke

Here's a "digital painting" I did for Illustration Friday, which is a site that posts a theme on Fridays, and artists create and post thumbnail links to their work on that theme during the week. This is really a great way to browse a lot of different web artists (look on the left to "view all" or browse by medium, or use the "viewer" page), and hey, themes are just fun, right? This week's theme was - you guessed it! - "smoke".

So, in my imagination, this is really big, right? And the bottom "painty" part is really textured and the top "smoky" part has lots of layers of cloudy, sort of yellowed varnish with slight collaged elements in between layers, see? No? Well, then, you're just going to have to trust me that in my imagination it's supah cool..

I'm not sure I'm even going to upload a link to this there - it was just fun to play around (update: okay - I did). And I've found at least one other Voxxer doing Illustration Friday; here are all her posts with that tag. Neato!
