Computer Art

Not all art is applied to a ready stretched canvas. In my day job as a web designer, I come across a lot of graphic design and sometimes 3D design. This latter type of art is a highly specialised niche and one which demands a lot of respect. It's not something you can do after spending a couple of hours messing about with Photoshop.
If the process of creating 3D digital art interests you then the website of Kay Patterson - www.therailwaychild.com - should be worth a visit. Kay is creating a number of 3D characters as an art project. Have a look through the blog on the site and see how she created the skin for the Coin Dragon - it really is quite inspired.

you'd be surprised how much photoshop does play an important role in creating textures for models. To Create a realistic looking texture for rendering with Lightwave, Maya, Softimage or any of the other quality 3d packages. Many artists use multiple layers of bump maps, texture maps etc individually created in Photoshop to achieve a realistic flawed texture. Great blog by the way : )
