A hallucinogenic toad smoking a joint.

ntopaz-image-0Not too much to say about this one that the title doesn't say :)

There are 3 things I was focusing on.

  • Depth of filed (part of the image is blurrier than other parts) -- I really need to practice more of that.
  • Realism - Making it look more like a photo than one of my highly textured paintings. This definitely involves looking at more reference.
  • Story - Having a character doing something.... The viewer gets that there is something interesting going on. It's up to the viewer to decide what is actually going on.

Make sure to resteem this rare gem, and of course, follow my account for more colorful content.

Nice artwork even though some texture still looks like painting than photo.

Definitely not trying to make it "hyper-real" or even photoreal... I just meant that most of my art is pretty abstract.... stylistic. So, more realistic than usual... but still art. If I wanted it be photoreal, I probably would probably do it in 3d. I still might, this would be a cool one to do :)

Hey @theartofori, here is your BEER token. Enjoy it!

Loving the frog colors. And totally agree with developing images with story - they are usually by far the strongest and the most engaging.
