Not really sure how to name this one yet. Any suggestions?
It was a fun experiment where I tried pushing my pencils and watercolors much more than I usually do, before laying my ink lines. The result is a bit darker than intended, and my values got a bit messed up, but I learned a lot with this one.

Experimenting a bit today, trying to keep my ink lines aside and going just with watercolors (and my pencil underdrawing!)

Hi Matsya, I'm glad to have found you here too.
Thanks for your video, probably what I needed to hear right now, and for the sincerity in reporting your experience (which also shines through in your eyes).
I love you trees, your use of watercolors and the spirituality that flows from your artworks

Lothlorien or Rivendell? Which one do you think this painting is more similar?
This watercolor and ink painting was done a couple of years ago and its called "A Place to Rest".

YES 100x THIS
- more professional
- one web address always linked to you even if you switch where it leads to
- no rules imposed on your own site, full control over your work
- web address that is active years after you give out business cards
- no other branding, all your work only on your site
One of the early lessons I learned in the art business is that you have to have your own domain - if not your own website - that you control. Even if you set it up as a forward to a third party shop site or something. Own your name.
Yo, I'm by no means a "big name in comics" but I still can't recommend having your own url for your work enough. I'm barely literate in web design and my site's far from perfect, but it's *mine.*
