F.A.Q. - Frequently Asked Questions
 

 
Do you sell prints? Do you take commissions?

Please email me at info at sharpfish.net.

Can I use your artwork for my RP character/website/avatar/banner/etc?

Yes. I don't mind people using my work for whatever, as long as you don't claim credit on it or remove my signature.

 

Do you take requests?

Not right now. I'm working now and I just don't have much free time to keep up with requests. I can and will do small stuff for people if the subject really catches my interest.

 

What kind of comments can I post here?

I don't really monitor the comments. Post what you like, I guess. And I am extremely open to critique, so don't feel bad about letting me know when something sucks.
 
 

What software/hardware do you use to make your artwork?

Older work was made in Painter IX and X, newer stuff is Photoshop CS5. I use a Wacom tablet for everything.

 

What brushes do you use?

I use four brushes pretty much 95% of the time: a chalk brush, an airbrush, an oil brush, and a grainy-wet brush.

 

Do you have any tutorials? / Can you teach me how to paint?

I have made a few process images available in the Tutorial Images section of the gallery. I also have a digital painting tutorial you can look at here, and a landscape painting tutorial here. They are pretty out of date at this point, unfortunately.

No single tutorial is going to teach you what you need to know, anyway. Practice is the only way to improve.

 

Did you go to art school?

No.

Can I see your professional work?

Short answer is no. There's not a lot of it, anyway.

 

How did you make this gallery?

This gallery was made in PHP/MySQL and was built using a modified version of Plogger.
