Simple Vintage Editing

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 10:31:03 PST

Simple tutorial is simple. Just a few easy steps outlining how to get that slightly (or not so slightly) washed-out vintage look. This isn't for one program per say, but fairly general so Gimp or Paint Shop Pro users can follow this as well. Enjoy

Tiger Lily Tattoo

Thu, 07 Apr 2011 21:50:42 PDT

This was practice for a tattoo that I was requested to do, by a co-worker. She wanted a mixture of a bunch of symbols that meant things to her, and added the Tiger lily to it eventually. So this was me trying to master the look of the Lily.

But I can't just waste all that space around the flower, now can I? Since it was practice, I just played around with the rest of it, and it came out looking really neat.

I had showed the customer the practice, and she liked it even more then the tattoo she had in mind. So we took this, and her ideas and mixed them together. She was happy with the result. I'll have to see where I have my copy of the tattoo. I'll have to post the result later.

Shell: Lily

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 23:38:33 PST

This is part of a sketch book project I did for a class a couple of quarters ago. The idea was to pick any object and draw 77 images of it, in different enviorments so to say. It was supposed to be one drawing each day for an entire quarter. I like most of these drawings but I will only submit a few that I deem worthy for DA

This is obviously a lily, I think it was a stargazer.... Anywho.... I love lily's so I incorporated the shells in there... Im pretty happy with this... Except very disapointed at my murderous scanner

my attempt at a tiger lily.. again i blame my scanner the shading is much softer and isn't so crappy lol, i ripped my drawings out of my sketch book ): really self-conscience about my drawings.. it's been years since i've attempted to.. well anyways, at least i'm updating my d.a.

tiger lily and bamboo

Sat, 10 Dec 2005 13:24:20 PST

well this is my first oil painting, which i did over the summer in a photorealism in oils class.. im quite happy with how it turned out considering the fact that ive never really painted at all before this (but i lied to the institute and told them i had experience painting so i could get into the class hehe)... so yeah, about two weeks of work into this thing, it took forever, but like i said im happy with it so oh well.. please comment, im looking forward to hear what people think since i havent submitted anything in like forever

Tiger Lily Tribal

Sat, 22 Mar 2008 07:45:29 PDT

Girls T-Shirt design commission for Spiral.
Painted in Photoshop CS3

I loved getting to do the combination between the elegant slightly stylised lily and the tiger created from tribal patterns. It kinda gives it a nice Oriental like look I think. To give the tribal a little more depth and make it tie in better with the lily's gave it the light and dark shadows which helped also make it look a little more Tiger like.
Anyway I hope you all like it?

Formspring.me Widget

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 20:12:22 PDT

So I'm sure that many of you have heard of the website Formspring.me, which allows people to ask you questions anonymously. I have cleverly devised a way to get your most recent questions onto your page in a snazzy way. Just copy this code:

<div align="center"><img src="http://sparklum.com/da/formspring/index.php?u=username" /><br /><a href="http://www.formspring.me/username" class="smbutton smbutton-blue smbutton-big p">Ask me a Question!</a> <sub>Formspring.me for deviantART by :devSparkLum: - <a href="http://fav.me/d2xa5lx">Get Yours!</a></sub></div></div>

Paste it anywhere on your page that allows for Text Entry, and replace username with your own Formspring.me username, and you're done!

Hope you enjoy

PLEASE NOTE THIS ONLY WORKS FOR PREMIUM MEMBERS!

That's simply because of deviantART Limitations, not my own preferences. Don't complain at me about it

I would like to thank ^mintyy, =Shadowelve, but especially *cintianightmare for suggest my work for a DD. Also, ^Anoya for accept their suggestions

*cintianightmare said;"The soft colors and the light make that the damselfly is the focus in the picture. It remember me the days of spring."

=Shadowelve said; "The contrast between the calm and dreamy flowers and the dark animal is breathtaking! But most of all I love the overall soft outcome..."

UPDATE 2: I uploaded a high-resolution image and activate print, because I have received several requests.
