Digital Painting

Each piece seen here is digitally painted. Meaning, with the exception of some color toning and and few pieces using in-program filters to enhance their look, all of these represent hours and hours of stroke after digital stroke using only the paint tool. No AI image generation were used with these pieces. I have sought to simulate real-world traditional methods as closely as possible in each piece. My more recent works also only use digital paint brushes I customized myself, to acheive the look and feel of real-world paintings.
