I especially love the artistic freedom during the creative process that this platform allows, as opposed to traditional drawing, digital art allows you to perform quick changes and various essential checks of the composition, design, brush strokes, color palette, etc. This, and the fact you don't need to wash brushes at the end of the night. |

Digital media is a whole new world of possibilities for me as an artist. That’s about being able to express my ideas much faster. The ability to save multiple copies of my work at different stages and being able to get back to one of them and develop almost entirely new piece. |

When I have a picture or feeling in my mind, and I suddenly see that picture evolve on the screen, that is the just the most exciting feeling. When you can almost feel the story yourself, when you have convinced yourself that the fiction world is almost real. Then it is art to perfection in that moment. |

Surreal shading, lighting and colors found only in nature are what influence my style. Trying to create those rare moments that talented photographers are able to capture, is my constant goal. It's never easy and it doesn’t always happen for me, but when it does it's a real feeling of accomplishment. Simple realism is never enough. |

You may notice an obvious influence in my images from ancient Chinese civilization. I was born into a highly educated aristocratic family and I immersed myself in many deep Chinese historical stories and classic Chinese literature. My career is steeped in drawing this knowledge out into creative imagery. |

As a very young digital artist, I had to learn a lot about art, history, science, geography and fiction. I kept watching more, reading more, experiencing more. By dong this, I developed passion for the world. |

What I like most in this job is not painting, but using my imagination and dreaming. Digital painting gives me the freedom that I wouldn't have in traditional media. |

I must say, seeing new and exciting designs at shopping malls, helps me a lot to get creative ideas. Right now, creating more fascinating game advert images that amaze the world is my number one goal. |

I think my influences follow two drifts: all the good old art from Disney and the Japanese animation and oriental digital art. I want my style to be very expressive, give a life to each character I draw, as well as the backgrounds. |

There are no frontiers within digital art, the only frontier is the imagination. The compositing abilities are just great and I can use any kind of media, like scanned textures, digital photographs, 3D worlds and characters, drawings and paintings in order to make my visions come true. |

Ecstasy. I feel very happy when I achieve something which I planned to do. Especially in my digital works. I’m a learning artist and not a master. So theres a long way to go… |

Maybe more people will be interested in what I can do with my work in EXPOSÉ. And it's a nice recognition of my personal work, which is important to me since creating illustrations is pretty different from what I do in my professional life. |

With digital art, you have an unlimited palette of choices/possibilities to work on one simple thing. There isn't only one way any longer, you can combine any technique and simply live your creativity however you want. This is the future and it's awesome! |

My style in influenced by many disciplines: cinema, video games, comic, literature... If I have to emphasize an artistic style, that could de featured in the majority of my works, this one would be the Art Noveau graphic style. |

When I was younger, I was way too impressed with game CG cinematics and movies. That naturally led me to become an artist myself doing something with that inspiration. |

My artistic style is inspired by music. When I was making my latest work, I was listening to some music that was so sad. The music affected me deeply. The technique is important too but it isn't everything. We have something computers can't use. It is emotion. |

EXPOSE is filled with the most amazing art. With digital art, you're only limited by your imagination and with the share of speed and flexibility you can create a great peace of art. There's also the undo button. It’s surely a great honor to be part of a great collection of artists. |

Digital art is all about creating vision from an imagination. We can pour through a lot of idea development inside, and bring visual experiments outside without any limitations. |

I regard the abstraction and integration of the originality and materials as the most important factor. The soul of the creation is attributed to the originality, while the realization of the visual effects is based on the materials. So, they are both indispensable. |

I began visualizing military concepts for DARPA in the late 60s, and into the beginning of computer based visual creation in the 80's. With retirement, I had both the time and money to try my hand at digital art. My eldest son is now heading up the modeling and animation dept at VA Tech. While he teaches Maya and ZBrush, he put me onto modo and Mudbox. |

I am influenced with every visual input, I can be inspired by the use of light in a movie setting. I would try and imitate the masters such as Frazetta, Vallejo and Jusko. At present, the style I appreciate the most are Jim Murray, Todd Lockwood, and Scott M. Fischer. |

With digital art, I can express my feelings. I can bring my emotion into my characters. And I can share all my opinions about life and everything to people. It's interesting that they have the same opinions or some differences. |

At age 19, I had my first graphics tablet. I was sceptical and thought I could never work with it. Then I discovered CGSociety and saw all the amazing art. Today I can't imagine living without it. And look where I am now-- on the cover of EXPOSÉ 7! |
