Having seen so many great paintings (mostly made by TheGiantMidgit) created only with simplest graphic editor made me think that I have to try it too so here are my first experiments with MSpaint.
The first one is... ehm... a beautiful view

Love them both... although I think they might look better if you used a proper paintbrush instead of the spray, then follow up that and shade them.

Nice Work :)

Well as I said/wrote these are just experiments. Quality will come in time :D .

Here are some projects made with photoshop few years ago.

Beautiful! How did you make those? :ok:

A fine edition of your artwork. Nice job man. :ok:

If you mean the "eruption" - mostly by invert brush which I discovered as a powerful tool to make awesome mosaics and I've added some lightning effects. However, I do not remember exact technique.

I love the eruption one :drool:

The eruption reminds me of something.....can't think of it, now, though. :blink:

looks sorta like the big burning eye in LOTR... or maybe a strange nuclear explosion thing.
