My First Digital Painting - Another Dream World


Here is a 'semi-completed' digital painting that I have started today. The idea simply came from my imagination. I like fantasy and surreal elements in my work and I try to come up with something different from other artists.

The colors used in this digital painting are very vibrant and refreshing to my eyes. I've incorporated past characters in previous works like the Parasite boogie fish and the cute little girl. When I look closer at the work I've done, I am beginning to realize that these scenes/landscapes try to convey a simplistic message. This is another idea of 'escaping reality' and living amongst weird and different creatures. Perhaps my experiences of travelling have lead me to think about how much I really want to escape the everyday lifestyle. We simply dream about the fantasy world and I always find joy in creating something to show that world.

I like to express childhood happiness and imagination in the art that I create.
This is my first digital painting and I am pleased at the result. In the near future, I hope to have more solid illustration and prepare rough sketches beforehand before diving into a painting. The way I've arranged elements seems a bit odd.
