Generic Betta Tribal Designs

Don't undermine your effort. I am just as capable of taking a bunch of cool brushes and gradients and laying down some random patterns. It sure as heck won't look that good. Digital mediums are great, but they can't replace skill.

I think it's just that I have an eye for detail but especially colors. Color is my forte.

I agree with Fenghuang, know I sure as heck can't do what you do, and I have pretty much the same materials available. You shouldn't down play your talents and abilities.

[Syriiven]

I'm not realyl downplaying them, I'm comparing them to where I want to be and know I'm far from hitting my mark, especially if I'm not actually working on getting better, but using shortcuts.

I really appreciate your guy's support though, its been a long, long time since I've had actual encouragement from people that appreciate my current level of art.

But the only way to get better is to challenge yourself and keep working at it - something I'm bad at since if I'm never in the mood for art sometimes, no progress gets made.

apparently, the idea of being a rebel (drawing when you're not supposed to) is your muse. lol

[Syriiven]

Pretty much =( But now I have nothing to rebel against but myself, and I know all the tricks to keeping me in line

[MattsBettas]

Lol. Believe me, I couldn't even figure out the program. You have some real talent.

xD I dont know what I'm doing half the time - I just have the basic understanding of layers and opacity, I'm looking up tutorials all the time.
