this was sort of an exercise in using reference. i decided to push towards a more realistic result by observing photos of sunsets, perspective from below (for the face), jellyfish, and hands. i think that i focused on this too much and the picture turned out too static, but it was good practice.

drawn in photoshop CS3 with an intuos3 tablet. textures from cgtextures.com , tips on how to use textures can be found here - [link] and for other tips check out my f.a.q - [link]

EDIT: resubmitting, because apparently it did not show up in poeple's message centers. wtf?? sorry to those who commented and faved on the other version.

you're a fantastic artist. so good, someone illegally harnessed it and claimed it as theirs. i hope they get the douche bag that did it...

Loish, I assume you have your original editing programs, and that you do not use mediafire to download music, am I right?

actually, yeah, all of my software is legal. but since you so readily assume that i use pirated software for my art, i guess that says something about where you get your 'editing programs' from!

Yes I recognize, I don't lie, but I don't care if people use them or not.
The point is, that an email to the Chilean publishing was more than enough, they already communicated with you, and apologized.
The number of post on tumblr, and facebook was more than enough, you should be happy now that the book is out of circulation.

way to make your point with unnecessary and unfair judgements about me! i made those posts because i needed help, advice and people willing to translate for me, which i managed to find through these social networks and would have never found had i kept this between me and this shady 'publisher'. i'm happy to hear that you feel everything has been resolved, but in fact, it hasn't. the publisher manipulated the facts in their 'apology' and are telling lies to my lawyer and fans. and perhaps you shouldn't be the one to tell me when i "should be happy" - i will decide that myself. now please go make passive-agressive accusations elsewhere, thanks.

For me this topic happened yesterday, and I do not want to talk about it.
Anyway, I prefer your answers as the answers of your fans.
