This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing modules.
You can drag and and drop to rearrange.
You can edit modules to customize them.
The left side has modules you can add!
Some modules you can only access when you get a subscription.
Some modules have options that are only available when you get a subscription.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain modules can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!
I have got another question concerning your technique. If you don't want to tell me it is ok you use Acrylics don't you? Do you work with glazes, so with very thinned coloring or with the normal texture of Acrylics. I hope you understand what I mean. My English is not the best.

yes i do work with glazes, but mainly towards the end of a painting, i mostly block out and put detail in and then work with colour glazes where i think it is required.
the black and white paintings though, i dont really do that many, they are mostly about getting the colour laid down and then the details follow.
many thanks for the inclusion, its a great feature, some really good art and artists. i havent seen them all before so thanks for bringing them to my attention.
very outstanding, do you ever wonder why you are putting so much talent and hard work into pieces that look like a photographs? I mean there has to be a great deal of satisfaction in it and your skill, from what I have seen so far, is unparalleled,but I just think if you pushed yourself to create works that are truly unique and that don't appear to be photographs or manipulated photographs, you would be unstoppable. What do you think, I would love to hear your perspective...?

"There is a battle that goes on between men and women. Many people call it love." - Edvard Munch
i work from photographs as I have a love of photorealist / hyper real art. Its what i have always wanted to do. For me trying to achieve the perfect image is my main goal. I also think that photoreal painting is by far the most technically demanding of all the painterly art forms because of the precision involved, its this that drives me to continue in this method of working. i understand what you are saying, and its a dispute that constantly comes up for any photorealist painter. I do think that photorealist's get a rough ride sometimes from people saying we shouldnt work from photographs. Photographs are my sketchbook, would you say to the likes of Vermeer that he shouldnt have worked from the camera obscura ?? its part of our artistic equipment and its one that is getting more and more popular with the influx of digital photography.
out of interest I have looked at your paintings, they are very good and impressive, i dont know if you have worked from photography but you have definetly been influenced by photography as you have a slight limited focal depth in some of your paintings that only the camera picks up, so does the same questions apply to your own work ?
again thanks for the comment, appreciate it. I have answered your question as honestly as possible, i hope thats ok. its good to have debate sometimes regarding art and how we all see it differently, the world would be a boring place if we all liked exactly the same things.
I have no problem in ANY way with artists working from photography, In many ways if you want to create relevant work, it's a must. I also agree that photo-realism is the most technically demanding , and to be honest I am blown away by your skill, I guess I would just be curious to see what you would come up with if you did not only focus on technique and precision. You bring up a fantasic point when you say "work from photographs as I have a love of photorealist / hyper real art. Its what i have always wanted to do." So that would be like some one telling me to incorporate abstract work into my figurative paintings. (I guess it would be worth a shot, but I wouldn't like it). Anyway Iv'e rambled enough, Keep up the great work, it's sensational!!!

who knows though, maybe one day in the future i may get tempted to try something different and drop the camera all together. never say never ( but i doubt it haha ) at the moment its what i enjoy doing and its the type of art i enjoy looking at the most.
i do think my artwork will evolve and progress naturally, not sure how or where it will go. i also still see my work as learning so precision and technique is everything at the moment.
