I like it. You should write a short narrative about it, especially if you plan to sell it. That is the kind of thing that really gets people attached :)

I might give it a shot. Unfortunately though, it seems that the more i write on my posts the less traction they get. Love the profile pic by the way :)

Thank you. I didn't so much mean for Steem as to just go along with the piece, but I am sure the users here would enjoy it as well. I just meant like a paragraph or 2 giving people a world to build around the image, it gets peoples brains going and immerses them in the work. That is good for sales ;)

Sell the sizzle not the bacon.

Good work, I like it. It reminds me of the Presidential debates. They are both blowing smoke and you can see Hillary's victims off to the side and the reporters are in the tree squawking away and going in for the attack on Trump.

Aren't you worried that people will find your identity, since your name is shown in the picture.

I'm not good at art, but I like gouache. I was a figure model half a lifetime ago (literally), and the painter I sat for sometimes painted with nothing but a palette knife. I thought that was amazing, so he explained the basics to me, and I enjoyed experimenting with that method when I was in college. But just for fun.

Your work is mindblowing. Have you ever thought about doing fantasy art for games like Magic? I would totally buy a playmat with this art on it.

Ah the old Bob Ross painting method. I was a figure model for a term one time. I wouldn't know how to get into a gig like that, but i would be down for it :)

Eye-catching pattern. Good filled, with meaning. Professionals using watercolors work wonders, but to a layman it seems to me difficult to make a decent picture.
