Hey, I was just wondering, for your paintings what brush's/sets do you use?
:iconben-andrews:
A real mixture, and they need sorting out! Some are from Imagine FX DVDs, a few Leventep ones but most are standard brushes altered with settings. I also have a growing collection of custom brushes, although i really only use them to speed up laborious tasks with repetitive textures-like foliage.

I love you Landscape works they have amazing depth and atmosphere to them, loved Dear Esther and congrats on the Imagine FX feature.
:iconben-andrews:
Very kind, thankyou!
:iconrakbird:
I am so impressed by your landscape and interior work! I'm gonna use your feed as inspiration towards my own learning.
:iconben-andrews:
Thanks very much, i really like the mood and claustrophobic feeling of your Transit etchings.
:iconrakbird:
Thank you! Leftovers from my fine art training. I recently started school hoping to get into concept art work, how did you get started? Are you self-taught?
:iconk0dy:
Thanks for watch & :+fav: XD
You have awesome works in your gallery!
:iconben-andrews:
The pleasure is mine mate, your piece Old Bridge is excellent-very envious, its the sort of thing that got me started in the concept art game really. Have you played ICO or Shadow of the collosus? If not, i strongly suggest trying them out, Old Bridge could be concept art for either one.
:iconk0dy:
Thanks for you kind words :)
No. I didn't play this games becouse there both on ps2 (as google told me) and i don't have one :(
For "Old Bridge" i was inspired by the game Risen (by Piranha Bytes). My girlfriend play it while i paint that artwork. If you like RPG games such as Gothic (1, 2, 3) try Risen. Imo this games is best rpg ever, and landscapes there looks awesome, especially in Risen :)
