[RedRyder]

been a while! i dont recognize 75% of the people here lol. i dont really hop onto the games anymore either, so i really havent heard from a lot of you. the reason ive been absent is because ive just been 100% focused on art and i dont really make time for anything else. i had a very bad drinking related accident back in january that nearly killed me and ive been sober ever since, so ive stopped going out every weekend and turned in the drink for the Wacom pen :p

so all i do now is sit in my room in hermit mode, making digi paintings like these

Zooey Deschanel, hyperealism

Heya Red! I'm one of the new guys so u won't most likely remember me. But I have always loved to dig up ur ancient threads to look at them :).

[NECROREAPER]

Welcome back Red! Sorry to hear about your accident, but a least it opened up a new perspective in your life and it looks like it's making a major influence in your art. Keep up the good work man, hope you get an awesome job doing what you love

Hi Red! Thx for stopping by and sharing more of your incredible work with us... and ditto to what Necro said. Great to hear when someone can turn tragedy into triumph, so keep it up! Excellent portfolio site too.

Wish you lots of success!

The RedRyder returns! Nice to see you back, Red. I can still see that your artistic abilities haven't missed a beat. I do say that the second picture is very well made IMO.
