Faerie

Faerie is close to us.

Faerie (or Fairyland) is all around us. We just have to find a way there.

It is beautiful...

Themes And Stories

My next few posts will deal with various art themes and stories told in pictures. I will talk more about my art history later.

EMERGE

EMERGE by firemind.

As I developed my skills I began to experiment more. This is one of my favourites. It uses fonts, clipart, painting, and special effects. Most of the work was done in Paint Shop Pro.

Piggy

Piggy by firemind.

The 'snout' texture looked rather piggish so I modified it to make the head. I cut and pasted and warped bits of the texture for the ears, and painted some eyes.

A piggy was born!

Illusionae and Paint Shop Pro again

Butterfly

Butterfly by firemind.

The 'wing' texture caught my eye and I crafted a butterfly from modified textures. Illusionae and Paint Shop Pro.

PROP1

CRUX

Compass

I continued to explore textures and shapes using Illusionae and Paint Shop Pro.

Links

Links by firemind.

This is an example of a heavily modified texture. It was created in Illusionae and then modified in Paint Shop Pro (?).

I made many 'tiles' of this size to use as wallpaper.

Grass

Grass by firemind.

I experimented with different art programs. I painted, rendered textures, and had fun. I made many different textures and used special effects to make pictures.

This one wasn't modified at all. It was made in a program called Illusionae.

1- 800 - Hero

I put this together from different clipart pieces. I still find it funny.

CABIN

CABIN by firemind.

This was my first big art project on a computer. The black and white clipart came from a cheap CD. I painted it in MS Paint. Artists have to start somewhere.
