This image was actually inspired by a slew of photos I found online in my never ending Google Images search for things that are "snowy." These... http://artisticenigma.gfxartist.com/artworks/72798 ArtisticEnigma Painting / Uncategorized Originally "inspired" by a suggestion from my independent study professor to paint something Egyptian. I've been looking at stacks of Egyptian books from the library while working on this image. Though I considered a very large number of Egyptian gods for inclusion, I... http://artisticenigma.gfxartist.com/artworks/68404 ArtisticEnigma Painting / Uncategorized This painting was inspired by the title of a book by Douglas Adams: Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul. I haven't read the book yet (I was sorely tempted) because illustrating the book was not the point. The title in itself captured my imagination and I just had to create an image based on it.... http://artisticenigma.gfxartist.com/artworks/65130 ArtisticEnigma Painting / Uncategorized This is an illustration for the story Monkey See, Monkey Deduce by Jonathan Laden.

He has short dark hair and one lock of longer white hair in... http://artisticenigma.gfxartist.com/artworks/58629 ArtisticEnigma Painting / Uncategorized Another in my Snowmistia series. The boy was originally intended to be the same character as in "Lamppost Way," but I ended up redoing his outfit to the point where I've decided that this must be another Tig'rider who is related to Mikith (the guy in the first... http://artisticenigma.gfxartist.com/artworks/48561 ArtisticEnigma Painting / Nature I started working from an old oekaki and ended up with this. In a way I suppose this was an exercise in custom brush making. And perhaps it is a bit overkill on the custom brushes. But I also like the way it turned out. http://artisticenigma.gfxartist.com/artworks/46319 ArtisticEnigma Painting / Uncategorized This is a remake of sorts for a much older image of mine, where an early version of this character was shown on a snowy path flanked by light posts. It is heartening how much I've improved since then. A big thanks to everyone who helped me with this one on the Ebony Keep critique forum.... http://artisticenigma.gfxartist.com/artworks/46317 ArtisticEnigma Painting / Uncategorized A fuzzy gerbil sails the sea in a wooden bowl. http://artisticenigma.gfxartist.com/artworks/15744 ArtisticEnigma Painting / Uncategorized Three chipmunks sailing the high seas in a gravy boat. http://artisticenigma.gfxartist.com/artworks/15060
