The PixelArtisan, (Russ), is a digital artist with a strong passion for realism. His paintings often include dramatic skies, persuasive lighting and are always highly detailed. All of his digital works are created exclusively with Photoshop. Each painting generally requires between 70 and 120 hours to complete and are up to 96 inches wide or high. There are never any imported images, scans or other software used in his paintings. Some paintings are from cherished memories, some are his portrayal of specific locations while most are totally imaginary. For the more complex paintings a reference photo for specific elements, perspective and details may be used but the photo is never copied or duplicated. The compositions are always original, adding his own touches to make each element unique.
