The Lion On My Mind- design (personal)

The Lion On My Mind

This is one of the many personal projects I have. There is no pre-defined concept behind the final result, it just happened. This, like many others is a product of my imagination. Normally, when I implement such designs I only use them for desktop wallpapers.

I will make all of these available for download soon.

Fish - design (personal)

Fish

That is a personal project again. I found an interesting set of Photoshop brushes online, available for download, and used them to create this. With some color effects added, I think it came out pretty good.

It's great for a desktop wallpaper, so I will make it available for download soon.
