Art in Brazil. I won a contest but
Those of you who have read my last journal know that I decided to enter into a contest to create a companys mascot. Well, so I did and won first place (an ipod). Yes, I am very happy but I would be happier if they hadnt been so suspicious about me. They actually though I had picked the mascot on the net and just made some minor changes on it. They actually told me the art was too perfect to have been done by me. I had to prove I could have made it by myself and just after that they chanced their speech. The problem is how this kind of art is faced here in Brazil. In fact, mostly of people here dont even consider what we do as art. Mostly of the people here dont have a clue what words like tablet, photoshop, digital art, airbrush, etc, means. Thats reminder me something I read in a =ShidoEV journal, about Brazilian artists not charging for their works. If you are Brazilian or can speak Portuguese, take a look at it, its really worthwhile:

My very first collaboration work.
In the beginning of this month I had a pleasant surprise. I received an invitation from dear =CherishedMemories to work along her in a collaboration. I was thrilled because I always wanted to work on a colab, besides, work with Cheri was a double pleasure. She is a wonderful human being and amazing artist. And it was a very gratifying experience, the way the work started and was changing according to our different point of views. Cheri, thank you so much dear!!!
Here are some amazing works from her galley:
Tough Mermaid
I never thought mermaids could be so tough to make!!! I am working on one for about a month. In fact, it should have been a birthday gift for my angel *DoctorEvil06, but I couldnt finish it on time. I have change model tree times to get to pose I want. Well, after all this time I managed to paint her mertail (the hardest part I hope) and now I just need to work on her skin, face, hair, accessories and background. I just wish I will be able to submit it this month
Thats all folks!!!
Oh yeah, I have changed CCS again because although I liked the old one very much, the header just disappeared. But is one is also nice
And I just want to say thank you so much for all the
