it's like a portal to another world you could dive into 🤓
Amazing work, honey. I admire you and your passionate talent ♾
@upgraydd Thanks. You inspire me every day.
you seldom put out paintings..but when you do..they're outstanding!🎨
@upgraydd Thanks very much. I average about one pic every week or so. I chipped away at this one over about 2.5 weeks.
@upgraydd An hour here, an hour there...
@desertrainbow OMG...that makes it even more amazing..tell Shannon Hi!
@upgraydd Will do. Honestly, I think some people might faint if I told them how many hours total I put into these.
@upgraydd I might be a perfectionist. lol
@desertrainbow I know what that feels like.. perfectionist anonymous!
@upgraydd Earlier I was lamenting to Shannon that IC is an *ART APP* with a *WHITE BACKGROUND*. (Rendering all darker works lackluster
@desertrainbow LMAO! you got a good sense of humor too!
@upgraydd Um, thanks. But I was serious. Quality art apps have midtone gray backgrounds so they don't drown light/dark pieces.
@desertrainbow that makes sense!
dang...
@upgraydd Lol Thanks. I think. haha Thanks Deb.
dang...good dang!!i thought you'd know. did you know Jois mom was touring? lol
@upgraydd I understood what you meant. I was just messing with you. I appreciate it. And a resounding "Hell Yes" to Joi!
😁 you're very welcome bb
absolutely wonderful picture love the night vision the glowing buildings lights on the cars every tiny details are spectacular
@upgraydd Thanks very much, Timi. Lots to explore in this one. Thanks again.
Awesome!
@upgraydd Thanks Bunny!
its mind blowing...😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍💖💖💖💖💖🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Totally Awesomeness and unique !🎨💯✨😘👍👍👍
So awesome dude. Coloring a night scene is on my list of things to do, but I'm not quite ready yet. Yeah the white background makes it tough
This is fantastic. Just zoomed in on a screenshot to see all the details. Great textures, and the light and shadows from the moon is spot on
The thing that kinda baffles me with all your stuff is the gradual shading. That's got to take a long time. Take care dude.👽✌😃
great light.love the neon buildings 🌻😊🍁
very nice!
stunning, once again. I understand about the time it takes. but you have so much talent too.
wow magnifique travail 👍👏👏👏❤😍
Amazing Perfection as usual Brian
Boom!💥Friend, teacher; You are such a Master artist & mentor. Your wisdom and works go beyond genius, in my book, as both speak volumes!
This goes beyond masterful skill, it is pure gift my friend. Can't touch on a specific compliment because all is sheer perfection. Humbled🙏
Just Amazing 😳👏👏👏👏💘
It's Perfect 🏆
This is amazing! You are so very creative. Your colors choices are perfect!
This is "feel good" pain staking work! I'm no artist, but I like what I feel when I see your work.
you are a real Picasso! You deserve the Hot List!
Outstanding artwork
WOW! WICKED GOOD BUB!😍😍😍
@upgraydd Hey thanks I really appreciate it.
@upgraydd Thanks. Oftentimes my artistic direction is influenced by what others have done as much as what they haven't done. I try to fill
@upgraydd that gap. Thanks for noticing. 😊
@upgraydd Hey thanks. I'm impressed by the lengths you went through to see as much of my work as possible. That means a lot.
@upgraydd Yeah, one of my goals for this was to place and color the full moon's shine on objects as accurately as possible.
@upgraydd I think that degree of articulation pays off in shaping my audience's *illusion*. That's where the magic happens imo.
@upgraydd Thanks very much. The neon was a later addition which looked so good I thought, 'More of this...' and went that direction.
@upgraydd Thanks so much. 😊
@upgraydd That's very kind of you to write. I appreciate it. I maintain that my talent lies more in my patience than raw artistic
@upgraydd ability. I think just about anyone can produce masterpieces on long enough timelines. Regardless of raw talent. 😊
@upgraydd Merci beaucoup. Votre art est incroyable et je respecte vos louanges en tant qu’artiste.
@upgraydd Perfection is a strong word, but I'll take it. Thanks very much! 😊
@upgraydd Hey thanks so much. Your compliments always give me warm fuzzies. So genuine. I believe that my talent lies more in my
@upgraydd patience (or stubbornness, depending on who you ask...) more than any raw artistic talent. I rarely get anything right on
@upgraydd these the first, second, or even fifth attempts. But that eighth attempt, that one looks about right. Thanks again, Julie.
@upgraydd Yay, so glad you like it. 😀
@upgraydd Well, I don't know about that. But it's my best effort. Still, I am grateful you believe so. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
@upgraydd Thanks Sandy. This underwent innumerable revisions with less-than-ideal colors. Eventually, I found some that clicked. Thanks!
@🍃💦Julie ♾♾ 😄😉Perfection always takes patience & time. As they say, "Grand things come to those who wait!" Such Grand perfection my friend!
@upgraydd Wow, that is a really great compliment. I make art because it feels good. If I can make others feel good too, double bonus.
@upgraydd Thanks! I like to think so, too. But honestly, my fans' graditude is more than enough reward for me. Thanks again. 😊
@upgraydd Thanks Judie. 😊
@upgraydd Thanks, it's my best effort. I'm glad you like it. 😊
oh my goodness this is truly amazing. the details are fantastic. your an amazing artist
@Nicholas Krieger Agreed. While most viewers might not pay as much attention as I did, they see without noticing. A big part of why your stuff feels
@Nicholas Krieger so real, like I could reach in my screen and pick it up. 👽✌😃
Beautiful
@upgraydd I'm so glad you like it. Thanks very much!
@upgraydd Word. Consistency with hadows and highlights, that's what it all comes down to. I gotta check each item upon finishing to
@upgraydd see if the light intensity, angle, hue, value all match with its surroundings. The closer I get, the happier I am. 😃
@upgraydd *shadows
@upgraydd Awesome. Thanks for the compliment. 😊
@Nicholas Krieger I don't know buddy, if I were you, I'd be pretty damn happy.👽👽😃
@🌻Sithofawen well,it looks amazing.it helps draw the color and light from the moon down the mountain🌻👍😊
perfect as always!👌👌👏👏💖💖🏆🏆🏆🏆
@upgraydd Thank you very much, Carmina. May your days be filled with joy and happiness. 😃
@CARMINA SANTISTEBAN PARDO I wish you the same!😗😗😗
well, hope i can paint like you one day, very beatiful, it makes me dell inside of the draw.
@upgraydd You are far beyond where I was at your age. You will be a much better artist than me at my age. Just stay with it. ✌
Your work is in a class by it's self. I've been on this app nearly 3 years and I've never seen anything of this caliber. I have been looking
at this for the past 20 minutes and am amazed by each new detail I notice. I can't wait till I have time to see the rest of your gallery 😲
@upgraydd Again, it means a lot. I try my best every time. Sometimes, that means my art takes 30-40 hrs over dozens of sessions.
@upgraydd It means all the more when folks appreciate it. Thanks again. 😆
💕hermoso💕
