FPS stands for, as every gamer knows, First Person Shooter. I started this canvas over 6 years ago in my old studio. After a couple of hours (if that), pleased with progress I downed brushes for a break on Halo… and for whatever reason it remained untouched until about a year back when I knocked out the background in white. I was on fire again, enthused, gripped by the desire to explain to the world what games meant to me, so much so I rinsed my brushes and fired up the xbox again. I'll finish it when I get to the next level...
What Not ( pronoun ) "Informal unspecified assorted material" Which is what we hope to achieve every week with a varied range of subject matter, from a varied group of artists. You know. . . What Not.

AMAZING! LOVE the brush strokes!
Haha. PEW! PEW!
Must find out if I can still do brush strokes like that, preferably by finishing it…
i really dig this. the painting is so meaty while also being a bit creamy. you're making me want to paint big again.
Cheers man, would love to see you paint big again!
I think someone has been looking at some Mike Sekowsky art lately...
No idea what you mean, I painted this five years ago...
OK, five years ago then!
I don't mean anything negative... the hand poses (especially) and the composition looks to a lot me like classic Sekowsky, perhaps from Wonder Woman or some other late 60's DC comic. I thought it might be a tribute/homage, or at worst an unconscious channeling.
Nope, fraud not. I've obviously seen his work in the past but was never a particular fan. It's possible something indelibly seared my mind but I hope I would have been more aware at the time! The hands were my own from photo ref. I was looking at a lot of Phil Hale at the time, I could have done with that influence showing!
cheers, Mike!
