HexaNode, I don't underestimate anybody's skills. Also the images at cghub.com are not being questioned here as they have nothing to do with this site. I voiced my opinion as a member of the site in the comments as I am allowed to do and then I messaged the author in private. If the author is so concerned about my comment we can certainly make it quite public, but I doubt that is what the author would like.

this looks so real! nice manipulation and congrats! nice tribute to a great artist

wow amazing digital painting!! congrats my friend!

@ solkee: Im sorry if I brag in.
why are you underestimate another people skill? if someone can REALLY make the cloud as realistic as the brushes, they don't deserve the rights to be BELIEVED?

just open CGHUB and see a lot of great artist drawing cloud in a realistic result.

I wonder if those entries above used the cloud brush instead of painting or make it by himself?!

Congrats, but still believe the clouds were brushes.

Beautiful work again. It brings me memories of my oil, acrylic, watercolor painting days. Nice combination of the green. yellow and blue colors. Good luck my friend.

Wow! I really appreciate your dedication to me. What can I say, I am just a regular human being, trying to do my best through difficult times. I think the comments and support of people who love me here in Pxleyes, make me stronger and a better person. I love to share, and help others to learn. I was taught here, many beautiful ways to make my work better.

Seeing your work, makes me proud of being a part of this community of talented artists, like yourself. Thanks and good luck. No, I don't mind using my nickname in your work, I am George55 for you and for all.

Nice digital painting
