Going to Edinburgh on sunday for a 4 day trip =) Hopefully I will return with some usable stock photos. I'm really looking forwards to walking through the Old Town, it looks great! Like something out of the Harry Potter movies, lol. So see you in a few days =) I will leave you with this beautiful music piece from Thomas Bergersen, Norwegian composer from Two Steps from Hell. If you haven't heard of them, check them out! If you watch a lot of movie trailers you have probably heard their music many times ;) Hope I can get this to work... hmmm...let's see... Two Steps from Hell's official YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/TwoStepsF

I was chatting with ~ThereseOfTheNorth (https://www.deviantart.com/thereseofthenorth) and told her I had a problem finding the kind of stock I needed for the sort of paintings I wanted to make. She then went and shot a bunch of stocks of herself in different poses with props :D They were just the kind of stocks I had been searching for too, YAY! She knows me so well, knows what type of art I enjoy the most making :) (DnD type of character portraits/fanart of characters from books and films as well as general fantasy) I now have a lot to work with, and she even promised to do more! Thanks so much Tess! You're awesome! :D

Here are some Halloween related art for you to enjoy Happy Halloween!         

Sadly I haven't had time to do a spotlight for September, so I'll leave this up for now and instead do a double feature in October with a deviant plus a Halloween special! :) -Gerd Elise --------------------------------------------------------- ~Burtn (https://www.deviantart.com/burtn) This man has some seriously good stock! His landscape photos are too good to be stock, but I'm not complaining :D Are you in need for some good nature backgrounds for your manips, or references for your nature paintings, this is one good place to go :) Here are some random examples: Ther's much more goodies in his gallery, so go check it out! :) - Gerd Elise :heart:

I decided I wanted to do a monthly highlighting of art that I for various reasons enjoy. I start off with ~ThereseOfTheNorth (https://www.deviantart.com/thereseofthenorth) as I've always loved her charming and very personal style :heart: She does a lot of fanart, mainly Robin Hobb, but also other things. Here are some examples: ROBIN HOBB FANART OTHER WORKS: Go check out her gallery! :D :heart: -GerdElise
