Hi everyone! I decided to paint a screenshot. Narrowed it down to 3 cropped images. Which do you like best? Will also chronicle step-by-step the process used to paint it and will put it on pdf for free with a tribute to Taldren. Models are Thu11s and painted with his permission. Painting will be oil on 16" x 20" stretched canvas:

ISC frontview

ISC colorful backview

Darker Hydran

Check out http://embark.to/paint for examples of current work.

LOL! Yeah I'm sure bias will play a part. I'm partial to the first one myself.

Been busy writing, painting, & living life.

I'll fly a mission now and then but my gaming has been greatly reduced. Other than that, I'm doing fine. Thanks for asking, Grim.

I'm having a difficulty picking on which one to choose!!!

I'm sooo excited to see the creation after it is done!!!!

There are different reasons I would pick each one....

The first one has such a nice halo effect that would glow nicely using oils.

The second one has the fire that would just light up the canvas.

The third is using the cool tones and may be my last choice.

So, it's between the first and third.... halo or fire burst..... halo.... fire burst.

Oh I dunno!!!!

Ok..... I choose....... THE HALO!!!

I can't wait to see it.

I love paintings and envy those who can achieve the art of putting brush to canvas effectively without reaching the mud stage.

The halo one is calming and serene, but not cold, as space can be so cold.

I don't want to remember Taldren as cold or as flaming.

Yes. The first one.

Whew.... I finally chose.

May your hand be steady and your heart filled with joy as you paint whichever picture you decide.

Yeah, I need to get my sig back up LOL!

ISC Theater: http://isctheater.50megs.com
Merged Centuries Books: http://embark.to/paint

Noticed recently that the music in the first 18 episodes isn't playing anymore. Not sure what's up with that.

Looks like the Hydran is pulling ahead. Interesting idea about using the background from one for another, but I think they should stay as is. The Hydran background suits it, and I can brighten it up a bit.

Thanks!

See I personaly Liked Pic two to be honest. I would love to see your technique used with the red and Orange Background.

Of Course we should all be humbled with your talents in Painting.

I'll probably end up painting all three.

And it is I who is humbled here. Between the modders, scripters, and modelers, the talent here is tremendous.
