Startled Witchdoctor

I love the work really its awsome . But lens flare ? not sure

Thanks Pilgrim – it certainly is a little wild :) and Cliff, I agree re lens flare. I had not tried it before, but had read somewhere that it can add to a sense of realism because we are so used to seeing lens flare etc. I was not too sure, but then it seemed to add to whatever is catching the witchdoctor’s eye – sort of like a “tinkerbell effect” :)

Oh wow! Gorgeous work! Love the colours!

thanks FireRabbit

This really captures your attention, great use of colour.

I hope it doesn’t keep you awake -some have said it’s a little scary :) Thanks Cassie

Hi Indiebuddy -many thanks – a very flattering great comment. I use Corel Painter to digitally paint onto my sketches. My brush is the plastic wacom pen and a wacom tablet. I don’t know if there are any short cuts but the advice given to me was just to draw draw draw :). Thanks too Lisa -yup it isa little dark, but it evolved from the lighter side -the chiefs wife. It is always easier to draw “ugly” I guess :) I suppose the Yin Yang balance is in there somewhere.

This is a fantastic piece, kudos

congrats on sale of this Tom. It’s such a great image – perhaps someone celebrates Christmas a little strangely!! LOL

You ask the question, which witch doctor are you? :)
