Well cheers for standing up for artists' rights corporalaccident - I hope someone does the same for me when people really are trying to pinch my work. I am also Flyttamouse on Deviant art here http://flyttamouse.deviantart.com/
and if you look at my gothic.net public profile you'll see I have www.katyjones.co.uk as my website. Not that any of that proves anything...if you wanted to be a bit more sure you could send Katy Jones an email via the Katy Jones site and I'll reply....
Thanks very much for the comment on the Fruitful Tree Nike. It was quite a mind-numbing piece to do, but worth it in the end...

Haha. My friends have been ripped off in the past, so I'm accustomed to seeing people who try to pass of other work as their own. No worries though, you definitely proved your identity 
I love your work. It's amazing!

Hey Castle, the Wizard's cheeks are blushing! OK...
1) Rough pencil sketch till I get something I like.
2) Detailed, accurate, fine-line pencil good copy.
3) Ink over.
4) Finish on PC using Paint Shop Pro.
If you want to choose one, I'll post you a pictue. Add me to your buddy list if you like and if you say it's ok, I'll add you to mine.
I've only been doing my art for about four years and made my first sale last year! (Hey, I'm a pro-artist... almost). I haven't exhibited that much yet, though I took part in a mixed show this Easter in St Ives, Cornwall, UK which was pretty terrifying as most people are just a little more normal than I am!!! Anyway thanks, you made me happy.

Wow Wizard!! I love your coloring technique, very very sheik and ultra modern. You have an interesting sense of creativity too. Congrats on the sale you made too...

WizardElement5 - interesting work!
corporalaccident - thanks for your kind words.
Lena - very glad you like the horse, which is called Ride the Storm. It's kind of about not being scared of your (negative) feelings (which are after all an aspect of yourself) but just going with them...not fighting them, which tends to generate its own problems...it's hard to explain adequately in words. It's done with acrylic paints, which goes for all of those pics I posted links to except the Fruitful Tree, which also involved coloured pencils and fine liner.

Wizard-I really appreciate your originality and technique. What kind of materials did you use?
As for myself, here's a little something I found in an old sketchbook. Here, it fit the mood so well that I chose it for my band's webpage.

Thanks Draconysius. When sketching, usually a 2B pencil. HB or H for the good copy. Inking - water based graph pens by Pentel, nib size 01. I print off an Epson stylus C82 onto Epson Archival Matte Paper which is very expensive but gives the brilliance of colour that I desire.
As for myself, here's a little something I found in an old sketchbook. Here, it fit the mood so well that I chose it for my band's webpage.

By way of contrast to my last post here, this is a portrait sketch done in pencil. It is really only a drawing exercise for me because it doesn't have the imaginative aspect that is fundamental to my actual art. However, (blows own trumpet), I think it's fairly sensitive.
http://s55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...eFrenchman.jpg
I did do a portrait of my then wife, now ex that was a little more creative... it was of her being hung!!! SMers, don't we have all the fun?! (No, no, it was her fantasy and her request and I didn't actually hang her in order to do the work. She is still very much alive and well!) Unfortunately, I seem to have lost it, or she has it...

*falls out of chair laughing* That's great Wizard. Too bad you don't have it anymore.

I will do a colour version of it when I'm feeling in more of a psychonautical mood

You have no need to blush, you're great. :>
Morrigan that looks good - it is a charcoal work, I wonder?
Draconysius your skull is amazing. Hot!

It is charcoal and pencil... just a dabbling, you realise, but I am fond of it.
