Digital Art - Retro Style Poodle

Hi there!

Lately I've been busy building a new site.
I've decided to combine two passions of mine, digital art and dog portraits. In this site DigitalDogPortraits.com (still under construction), I will create customized portraits of dogs/pets. Dogs' owners will be able to send me their pets' photos and I will create a digital portrait of their beloved pet and will print it for them on canvas.
The styles of the portraits will be Vector Art, Line Art and the famous Pop Art Warhol style.
I'm really excited and can't wait to finish the preparations and start working!

Take a look at a sample retro style Poodle's portrait that I've made recently and will be featured on the site :)

Well... that's it for today! Got to work on my site :)

See you soon!

Digital Art - Worn Vintage Style

Hi there!

Yesterday I wanted to create something different from the regular art that I usually do. So I played around, thinking and thinking, and finally I decided to create a Vintage pattern. I was using photoshop to create the basic pattern. I was thinking about circles, squares, some retro colors, and the final result was this :

I was quite happy, but I felt something was missing... the pattern, the colors and the geometrical figures were perfect for me, but I felt the the feel is not there yet, I wanted more used touch.

Suddenly it hit me! everybody is posting vintage-like photos, using apps like instagram or pixlr-o-matic, in order to create an instant retro feel. I don't like to use those apps, but just for this case, I thought, let's give it a try, let's see how those apps will work with digital art.
I just wanted the final touch, and after several experiments, I found the correct one, take a look:

The worn and used feel that I've been looking for!

I could really imagine this pattern on some products, and well... you'll be the judge :
