It's been a long time since I posted something here. In this meantime I've been pushing harder and harder to make better paintings that worth beening here... I've been researching a lot, reading a lot, trying to use technics I'm not familiar with, practicing and always accepting new challenges...

This one is my latest painting, and I wanna do better... I wanna make thru the "Ballistic Digital Painting 2"... I really want this to be published, but I need your help. So, I'd really appreciate if you guys could please take some minutes to take a look and criticize.

I was hired to make this painting as a birthday gift. This little girl is my friend's nice... really cute girl and I had a lot of fun painting her...

With this new painting I wish to get in the Ballistic Publishing new book. Call for entries ends march 24th 2008. But to make it I really need some help!!! So, I'd really appreciate if you guys could please take some minutes to take a look and criticize. Any comments are very welcome...

EDIT: Some adjustments... I put some stars in the background, changed her right hand, painted some lights, etc...]]> Fri, 07 Mar 2008 17:03:09 +0000 http://erikegon.cgsociety.org/gallery/607734

My willing to paint the Dungeons and Dragons characters these days was very strong and I couldnt resist another day. I stayed in front of my computer for a couple hours and it's done... Sheila in a fast painting.

Hope you like it...]]> Wed, 12 Mar 2008 21:25:57 +0000 http://erikegon.cgsociety.org/gallery/607727

Paulo was a famous broadcaster here in Ceará. His voice and his sense of humor will be missed a lot...]]> Wed, 12 Mar 2008 21:18:14 +0000 http://erikegon.cgsociety.org/gallery/607730

This painting was made as a gift for this gentle, nice, smart, full of energy and flirting lady... hehehe... yeah! Flirting... She's the proof that life doesn't end after the age of 40, 50, 60 or even 70...

Aunt Rita, this young old lady dates a lot (believe me!) and if the guy can't follow her rythym, she'll find someone who can... hehehe... She's amazing and I hope I can have half of her energy when I am her age. In fact, I hope to be her age someday... hehehe.]]> Wed, 12 Mar 2008 21:22:01 +0000 http://erikegon.cgsociety.org/gallery/418392

I'm trying to improve my painting lately by looking for the realism in every new piece I do.
In this one I was trying to make Supergirl fits the photo. I worked a lot, but there's a moment when we all get blind to the little mistakes. I think I'm on this moment, so I'd like you guys to help me find new things to improve on her and how you suggest me to do it.
Anyway, I hope you like it also. I had fun on this one.]]> Tue, 17 Oct 2006 14:17:07 +0000 http://erikegon.cgsociety.org/gallery/367008

This is my second trial in the fine art and I'm really happy with the result.

The idea with this one was to face as much problems/obstacles as I could think about (Hair, Lilght, Motion Blur, Skin Texture, Clothes, etc) and to learn with this.

PS.: All the tutorials by Linda Bergkvist were very very very important to make this piece to get to this point. So, thank you very very much Linda.]]> Tue, 06 Jun 2006 21:59:02 +0000 http://erikegon.cgsociety.org/gallery/367804

This was my first trial in Fine Art. And it was a big challenge cause it has so many details. I wanted to do something on this level cause I intented to submit this to the Ballistic Publishing Book Exposé 4. Unfortunetly it wasn't selected. :-(

Anyway, I learned a lot by this and I wanted to show you to know what you guys think about it.

PS.: If you want to see the making of, take a look at:

I started to play with my tablet creating caricatures. Now that I got a best tool I can improve the quality of my images. I can make much more details and make the paintings more softly... Take a look, and tell me what you think! :-)
