Just For Fun!




Last night I decided to avoid working on the projects that pay real money and do something just for fun. I painted this in photoshop last night sitting in our new recliner watching "The Thing" (1982 John Carpenter version)with my boys. I rendered it on my little netbook just to see how far I could take an image on that little $248 computer. Technology is getting really affordable for everyone.

I combined the background photo (google images) with my rendering to save time. FYI I would never do this for a paying client - I don't like confrontations, threats, law suits, etc. :)

    Looks great! You're the last illustrator I would ever picture using a photo background, but you NAILED it! Digital Will Terry is unstoppable! Also, THE THING is in my top ten sci-fi movies of all time.

    Don't tell Jared, but I think you're better at painting like "Will Terry" in any medium than he is. Ha, I love you guys.

    I love this sophisticated fellow, and the background works perfectly! I wouldn't have noticed it was a photo without the mention.

    Will, you kill me. You render full paintings in the time it takes me to draw a pencil sketch. Amazing.

    This looks so cool, I love how the background has really been incorporated seamlesslessy I also wouldnt have noticed it to be a photo. He looks very Ye Olde English detective to me, maybe the Police inspector after Jack the Ripper or something.

    I love going back into my sketchbook and looking for something to add color to. Each time I make something "just for me" it's like coming up for air. I think artists in general have this burning need to be creative and one way or another we're going to let it out.
