I have really long curly hair... and I look out of place when I go to those things. I told my mom about that and I guess she might have mentioned that to you or something. But it is not a bad comparison at all in my mind. I grew up with that game and the ones that fallowed, and it really does have a striking similarity. Esp. with the 3rd game. Its kind of one of those fond childhood memory type connnections I have with its 16-bit pixelated wonderfullness.

K kirby Tiki Socialite SoCal Joined: May 04, 2005 Posts: 1601	K kirby Posted posted on Tue, Jun 5, 2007 6:21 PM Here is a few things ive been working on... the first is a painting I did for the london luau, Its supposed to represent trader vics in london,with tikis as royal guards. Ive never been to london but I think it has a lil london flair... This is done in a lil looser style, it kinda looks like hes whining {I hope thats spelled right}, so mabey he will be called "the whiner" This one may look strange to you, so I will explain...littlelosttiki invited me over to his studio to hang out a paint,talk shop,and smoke cigerettes, along with clydesdale. I have a strong fondness for the master 70s Telivision paint instructor Mr. Bob Ross. So i thought i would try my hand at a lil Ross inspired landscape... To stay true to Ross I did it in about 30 minutes, {I think you can tell}..kinny said it needed a tiki so I added one fishing in the stream..I now know Bob ross is a master for wippin out masterpieces in less than half an hour.. I usualy dont post progress shots of my paintings but theres alway a first tim for everything.. I havent got a name for it yet,so if anybody has a suggestion feel free to post...big mahalos ...kirby

Nice treatment of the cobblestone and thatch on the Trader Vic's piece! You're killing me with the Bob Ross piece! "Let's put in a happy little tiki here!" Dig the layers of rock on the piece in progress too....nice depth goin' on!

K kirby Tiki Socialite SoCal Joined: May 04, 2005 Posts: 1601	K kirby Posted posted on Tue, Oct 16, 2007 6:06 PM Aloooooooohaaaa!!!!!Its been a while... As you may or may not know I have been out of the loop for a while. The reason is that Im getting ready to buy a house, so polly and I had to move in with her dad for a few month while we save up some extra cash for the down payment.So all ye ole paintbrushes and chisles are packed high and tight in the garage...Ive been working on supercharge mode this whole time, and also have had limited access to the net,so that explains my absence on TC. for the last month or so I have been going nuts not being able to do my art,so with no place to paint or carve, I figured I would try my hand at some digital painting, with photoshop. Its been quit frustrating but Im starting to get the hang of things. This is my first and second attempts the first is an angler fishfloatlamp Im working on hangin him in a tiki bar painting im still working on. The second is full scale and Im calling it "Lava God". Its based on the unfished painting above. Im also working on getting some prints done at some point so If you are interested let me know. mahalo ...kirby close up
LLT little lost tiki Tiki Socialite Orange,CA-right near the Circle! Joined: Jun 12, 2006 Posts: 7763	LLT little lost tiki Posted posted on Tue, Oct 16, 2007 6:15 PM Right on Kirbs! I like em both! The transparency on the fish scales is BOMBS! And the lighting and shadows on the skulls of the second one give it that MAJOR sense of realism! It looks like you've been able to switch mediums and still keep the Kirby flavor! Right on! Stoked that you're finally back to creating some art!

Either way, that's great! If you like doing line-work, you should try experimenting with Adobe Illustrator :D
