This is really lovely work.

I don't have any formal training I suppose, though I am self taught. I've been passionate about art since childhood and have taken to sketching and illustration at an early age.

I dabbled in other forms of art but nothing kept me going quite like drawing... that was until I learned how to create digital art with 3D modeling and rendering. Since then I have to admit that my drawing skills have gotten a bit rusty but my CGI skills have grown leaps and bounds :)

It's really nice to see people put paint to canvas and the end result be what you've shown here, it's wonderful in fact and I totally dig it.
