Force of Nature is a fairly simple image to create but uses several techniques in combination to accomplish something clean and visually dynamic.

OASIS is something I came up with while looking at an old piece of work “Star Girl I”. I realized since working on that image that my skills have progressed a great deal and wanted to see what I could do with that stock image today, and that is how I made my start on this project.

Herald of Devotion is part of my Herald series just like Herald of Creation, the next one in the series that I will be working on is Herald of Destruction.

Raven Dawn II is a follow up to my original Raven Dawn image using what I’ve learned since that time. For this image I took a simple and clean stylish approach.

Celestial Being was one of my personal favorite images, it was featured in Advanced Photoshop Magazine issue 67.

Today’s featured artist has some truly amazing work, particularly some prints available through deviantart.com. Alexiuss is an amazing digital artist based out of Canada with a fantastic array of dark artwork. In fact I have to honestly say this represents some of the best dark artwork I’ve seen in the deviantart community.

At the end of last year 3 pieces of my artwork were featured in Photoshop Creative Magazine Issue 54 along with several other digital artist. In this article I talk about that experience and how it effected me.

Today’s artist that I’ve feature has some work that simply blew me away when I saw it. Her work managed to find its way into my favorites collection fairly quickly. She is 27 year old Turkish Graphic Designer Asli Yeniay Kizilay, and her work is just amazing.

Binary Angel is one of my newest photo-manipulations, though it differs from most in the fact that I decided to combine a large number of vector graphics in this piece.

Keeping the Faith is one of my newer photo manipulation projects and a chance to show off some refinement to my techniques. In some ways its is similar to my much earlier work “Cloud Chaser”.

Energetic was a photo manipulation inspired by the song “Energetic” by BOA. It is a high impact club song with a great beat and energy to it and was able to inspired some of my best work. This image has also become one of my most popular photo manipulations on DeviantArt.

Now FREEZE is a photo-manipulation that is straight hip hop. I found a fantastic stock image to work with and using dynamic lighting effects was really able to bring it to life in a new way.

Digital Painting by New York Graphic Designer Roberto Blake. “Lady Snowflake” is a winter themed digital painting developed for Photoshop Creative’s forum Challenge “Seasons”.

I’ve seen some amazing photo-manipulations and dark artwork in the online community lately and felt inspired to create a new piece for Photoshop Creative’s Web Challenge this month.

The online community is full of amazing, talented digital artist, and today I’m happy to showcase some fantastic photo-manipulation work I’ve seen on DeviantArt.

Today I interview a truly talented Graphic Designer and Digital Artist you may be familiar with, she has been featured in Advanced Photoshop Magazine, and Photoshop Creative Magazine just to name a few. I am personally a huge fan of her work and have had the pleasure of talking with her about it, her name is Karen McDade and her work is nothing short of spectacular!
