I can’t get enough of digging out old art works from the depths of my hard drive. Honestly, I didn’t remember ever creating this picture.
Back in the days when I wasn’t into digital painting, I enjoyed doing photo manipulations. Nowadays, I don’t do manipulations at all, but in 2002-ish, I had about million photo manip projects per week. I used to be a quite active photographer too and I did my manips by overlaying multiple photos and then merging them together by paiting over with Wacom. Eventually I ditched using photo based backgrounds and switched into pure painting.
Back in the days, also, I was very interested of much darker themes, and I enjoyed sci-fi and horror art, but hey, I was a teenager back then and before I discovered the joys of pin-up art. Photo manipulation became, at some point, SO common, that I guess, it was one reason to move onto different techniques. Nowadays, you can find an endless amount of similar kind of pics around the net and I’m no longer interested of these kinds of works, although it is much fun to discover old forgotten works.
