There were 2 artist that inspired me not to give up after i was totally frustrated with photoshop a year ago..Adhemas Batistas and Pawel Nolbert. I have been studying Pawel for a while now and im just in awe at the lines..the colors..and the way the swirls look. Adhemas has a great imagination. The transformation that takes place from an ordinary coco cola picture to a color illustration is amazing. I also admire my buddy Kode logic for his lighting effects...Brand Nu....and most of all, the artist here on deviant.
