<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is about new beginnings into a new world. All of the elements of sustenance are present. Shelter, food, water. Beings starting out on a life journey with circumstances not yet known. As always a celestial guide is present, enhancing and aiding the new undertaking.</span>april ann torreshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10773430897568135468noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202887836393045249.post-41301102906677031432016-07-26T15:09:00.001-07:002016-07-26T15:11:30.897-07:00Digital Portrait<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is a portrait of one of the nicest guys to ever walk this planet. Emilio Vaja, who I will always remember as someone I could count on for a smile and an "everything will be ok" attitude. This world certainly could use more of that.</span><br />

<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here is a ZBrush sculpt/portrait of my good friend Mark. He is a sweetheart in real life and doesn't dress like this at ALL. So of course I decided to make him a badass in this portrait! Two different lighting setups. The top image is out of ZBrush and the bottom is out of Keyshot plus PS retouch.</span>april ann torreshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10773430897568135468noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202887836393045249.post-29095908419939517042016-02-24T21:46:00.000-08:002016-02-24T21:48:03.301-08:00Dakini-Guardian<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This image is called "Arriving". It is about new souls coming in to this earth plane, not yet fully formed, just getting an awareness about what is to come. They are safely looked after by their spiritual guardians. This is another non-dominant hand drawing. The original ink scanned, then painted in photoshop.</span>april ann torreshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10773430897568135468noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202887836393045249.post-44020289160730640162014-12-18T14:46:00.000-08:002014-12-18T15:03:55.348-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Time is moving along into the final weeks of my show at USC Norris Cancer Research Hospital. I'm sorry to see it end because it's been such a highlight of my artistic life. If you find yourself in the area and want to stop by, the exhibit will be up until January 9. This is artwork I’ve created this past year as part of the Survivor Art Series. It is imagery reflecting the healing journey I have been on and the self expression that I feel is a very important part of that healing.</span></div>
