Hello fellow PIers! I hope you don't mind me joining in here every now and then as time permits.
My name is Debbie and I've been using PI for about 8 or 9 months now...it's my first choice graphics programme and if truth be told, my only choice [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] I LOVE the versatility of it! At the moment I'm into digital painting...I wouldn't say I'm very good at it, but I'm getting there and find it quite enjoyable. It's a good job PI gives you the option to undo though, I use that quite a lot [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]
This is a digital painting I did about a month ago, one of my first and still my favourite today. I hope you like it as much as I do...I've simply called it "Rough Sea" [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Hi Debbie,
Very nice painting! I'm not much of a "PIer" but I really like your painting. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Thank you very much for your response Jeff, it's good to know that I'm not alone in this forum [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] I'm pleased too that you like the painting!

Debbie, you are some artist! I think the way you've done the foam on the waves is masterful. Nice use of the lightning and is that the rain particle? Beautiful work.

Thank you very much for your compliments Stephanie! I don't claim to be an artist of any sort, but then I was once told that if you create then you are, so maybe I am LOL. Yes that's one of the rain particles I used there.
Thanks again for the compliments, they're much appreciated and quite a confidence booster [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Nice wave work ... you managed to get some nice movement and activity in the water and just a real stormy water feel ... I like storms [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

I'm glad you like it David! It was seeing one of your images (Boat on Water RD) that got me into digital art. I replicated that one in PI (wouldn't show it anywhere), and from then on it was experiment, experiment, experiment some more....so thanks for getting me started [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Thanks! that's quite a compliment [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] ... I'm glad you got into graphics ... I've noticed your water motion is really good on your other things too.
That boat pic was done with Real Draw Pro which is a nice program with some unique things ... but I find it a little awkward (especially the ton of palletes)

Hello.
I was just browsing the forums and I stumbled on this post. I LOVE that painting. Did you do that from scratch and then paint??? I've only been using PhotoImpact 7 for about a couple of months and I'm not that familiar with its' painting capabilities and such. I'm a Photoshop-per first but, I've come to like PI 7 almost as much. I've been wanting to get into the "paint" side of designing. Keep up the good work, though. I love it. Hope to see more.
Take care.

[img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif[/img] Oops, just stumbled back into this forum...
I'm glad you like the pic RJ [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] Yes, it's done from scratch using mostly airbrush and paintbrush but also a couple of other effects found in the easy palette such as lighting and rain.
Having done quite a few other digital paintings since that one and experimented with other tools in PI, I've found it more of an enjoyable challenge to get my own lighting effects etc., so rarely use those in the easy palette.
You might like to check out the gallery section on my site for others I've done: http://www.debisty.com I'm most definitely not an artist by any means, but PI certainly makes it enjoyable for wannabes like me [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
