The Digital Age

8 Aug

I’m a lover of traditional art. I love to see the paint strokes on canvas, the curves in sculpture, and to know that I or another artist created that work with their own hands. But this is the age of technology and computers, and digital art is becoming much more prevalent now. I must admit that I know nothing about digital painting, and perhaps that’s why I used to have more of an affinity towards traditional methods. But after finding so many amazing works of art created digitally, I couldn’t help but have a respect for the medium. I’m quite sure it takes as much skill to work digitally as it does with a physical medium. I believe the medium doesn’t matter; it’s what the artist can create with it.

Below are some of my favorite geeky digital masterpieces. After viewing these, I hope you will have as much respect for the medium as I do.

Majin Buu by Jonas Skoog

This painting of Dragon Ball Z’s Majin Buu is downright creepy. Kid Buu was always one of the scarier villains, but seeing him in a realistic  portrayal is even worse, but in a really awesome way.

Royal Assassin by sakimichan

This sexy assassin painting is gorgeous! I love all the gold and black tones used.

Post-Apocalyptic Hunting Truck by Matt Allsopp

If you read very many of my articles, you know I love anything post-apocalyptic. This truck, with its cages, guns, and of course, the huge skull on the front, is awesome! I love the wear and rust (blood?) on the metal, and the scrap buildings in the background.

Nascent Potential by GunnerRomantic

This little creature fetus is so realistic. I love the delicate, translucent tendrils and tiny veins on its head.

Okami by SnowWolfMystic

Okami is one of my favorite games, and this painting of Amaterasu is gorgeous. I love the definition of the fur, and her bright yellow eyes.

Mega Man: Sensorimotor by Mike Henry

This Mega Man painting is so cute and creative. I love the comic book print texture and sketchy style, that proves different styles can be achieved with digital painting.

Batman by Ivan Tao

I love the dark, impressionist style of this Batman painting.

Go Gadget Go by Stuart Hughe

We all remember Inspector Gadget. This painting is super cool – and a little creepy.

Steampunk Dragon by Kerem Beyit

How do you make make dragons even more awesome? By turning them into menacing steampunk robots!
