Possum Roadkill

Oops ! Sorry guys, I forgot to check back to see if anyone said anything. @ Welshblue, Thanks man ! You know someday I might just get around to doing the Stratocaster I always wanted. @ Barbieq, Thanks, I was thinking about putting the possum in all my photomanips, but I figured it would get old quick for everybody. You can run a gag for only so long before it gets tired. Kind of like this one :lol: @ Heat Stroke. Wow, thanks. I really mean that. It means a lot to know that someone really likes what I make. I think you are a really good artist and I'm looking forward to seeing more and more of your works. @ J.D. Thanks ! Bamboo room is one of my old favorites as is the Water series. I used to do more abstracts but for some reason I just can't find my muse as often as I used to. Maybe I'm not thinking in abstract terms now.

I really liked that too and thought to myself, "self, how did he do that?" Really a beautiful image. I hope you will consider some of the other comps.

I thought I would let you know that the Space Art Comp is back for a while. I've not seen you in any of the comps for awhile.......

Some really fun sigs ! Welcome to the forum.

Anyone else? I'll extend the deadline to enter until midnight (U.S. Eastern time)

Thanks ! I just say the Nathan's Gold and the Ladybug wallpaper. Those are really nice. The gold work on Nathan's Gold is brilliant.

I like ! Very nice colors.

Wow cool ! I never saw that coming. I thought they were all good and all better than mine. Thanks ! I thought Kemaru's, Sarkut's, Leonte's, and Sozo's were the best. Sozo's cracked me up. Very funny.

Another new Colts wallpaper for the 2010 season. This one is a bit less busy as the last one. ;) http://i396.photobucket.com/albums/pp41/PossumRoadkill/Possum%20Art/ColtsWallpaper4.png I've also finally got around to updating my gallery after several weeks.....months....whenever it might have been So if you take a look at the first page you will see that the first post that contains new works has quite a few new pieces that I've not posted on here before as well as some old favorites. The individual galleries have also been updated with more new works that have not been posted in the galleries previously. Thanks for stopping by !

The ship is one of the most amazing pixel images I've ever seen. WOW !

Beautiful new stuff on pg. 1. I really like Phoenix Rising. Beautiful ! Good to see you on here again. Great collaborations with Welshblue and Barbieq. Beautiful stuff.

I'm glad to see you enter in the PMC ! Welcome to the comps! Great entry too, I really like the colors.

You eat fruit? I see you more as a carnivore. Wild game, slightly cooked on an open flame.

I know what you mean. I was a little late in getting my gallery started so I had a lot of image to add at first. It took a while to get things set up. You're off to a great start. Enjoy !

You know my ex-wife? :lol: Looks just like her Seriously, that is so cool ! Very clean manip. Love it!!

Your collaboration with Peter is just beautiful ! The back ground is amazing !

Me too ! That is really great ! You know I would just add one thing, I think it would look really cool if she had some scales of her own, like she is a mermaid and has scales up her neck that fade into human skin.
