That's it. What or who inspired you to get into online digital art?

For me it was Kelly McLaron at Topaz Design


When I saw " Palace Of Marisandara " late 1998, this was the inspiration. Please see this link: http://topazdesigns.com/bryce/marisandra.htm

I went out and bought Bryce. Could never even come close to this artwork. Still can't.

I remember joining up at Skinz.org 1999, Shaggot was a moderator there. He kept on declining my uploads.

A very nice lady, Jsenn, was there at Skinz.org. She later became an administrator at Deviantart. She wrote beautiful poetry. She wrote to me,commented, she inspired me. Because of her, I never gave up.

New folks, never give up. Believe in your self.

Now tell us, what or who inspired you?

Happy

Art wise...a guy called Roger Dean inspired me...and still does...he did album covers for Uriah Heep,Budgie, Yes and Osibisa.....the Flying Elephants on the Osibisa Album I airbrushed onto the windows of my sign shop in Hawkes Bay and repeated them on the company van.....Was and still is great art!

Glad you brought this thread back to life. Not familiar with Roger Dean, so I checked him on Wikipedia. Great fantasy artist. Ever see Royo´s work? Happy

Royo is not bad...thing that got me hooked on Roger Dean was he did a mechanical warrior on a mechanical horse in tonings of red...all hydraulic hoses and pistons and rods...the detail was gobsmacking! Happy
