I love to draw, paint and of course create vector art for advertising, fashion and editorial print work. I also do a lot of public speaking and training, and am available for seminars or onsite training in Illustrator and Photoshop.
Texas Hold'em
Description She's actually supposed to be holding cards in her left hand.... but with all the white, it didn't look right. The images is supposed to be about gambling when it comes to love and relationships. When do you take a chance and hold on to what you got- when you may get something better with the next draw? I may go back and revisit this and add the cards. The model is picture perfect Natalie (from my London shoot).

Just my humble opinion but the cards might work if you color them instead of adding white cards to a white hand. Once again. Great work!

That might work. Since the cards are a strong part of the concept, it could work to have them fully colored/realistic- : ) good idea.

I love ToddM shading with vector, so smooth and realistic
for me, i love the approach to combine realictic color with uncolored (white) area
the hair kinda funny ... :)

thanks- it makes for a bit of a different look.
Interesting, are you utilizing the vector pack from Gomedia?

No. I actually made my own sellout art. Actually I've made my own wings - I actually made a set of seven different types of wings and want to post them in our IW store. I wish the gomedia guys would post their products in the store too. I can see their stuff being very useful.
