Great work man, really like the stuff on your website as well.

Any chance of some insight into your workflow? I see you use a lot of textures like in this piece (http://chemicalbank.org/projects/iron+man+animation/ims.jpg) and it works really nicely.

so joel...when am i going to see that demo?
great seeing you at anothony francisco's house....rock band!

hey guys thanks for the words of encouragement!

skidu - Ya I tend to use photo textures on some of my pieces if I need to. I usually throw them in maybe when I'm about 60-70% of the way into the painting, that way as I continue to paint the texture blends in a bit more. I use the soft light layer usually but sometimes other layer settings work better. I also try to adjust the color w/ curves or levels to get the effect that I want. I hope that helped, but probably nothing new to you, sorry.

jabraniho - thanks man, when're you going to post your stuff?

chosun - no.. when am I getting to see a demo? Next time i come over ya? ill bring that old tv.
