I didn't expect to get it done but on my latest photo shoot, I told the model about it and she loved the idea, so here we are. As for the concept: this figure has two locks on her body, one like a chastity belt and the other over her heart. She has one... http://michaelo.gfxartist.com/artworks/181513 MichaelO Painting / Figure I carry a torch for someone. It's heavy and I have to carry it alone. It's cold and it burns but it does bring me joy to know that there's someone in this world worth carrying a torch for. This was a change of lighting styles for me. Originally I thought of making the... http://michaelo.gfxartist.com/artworks/180499 MichaelO Painting / Figure Long time no see Most of us are too young to remember actual wind up toys but every now and then I see the concept revived. I thought it would be interesting to see the idea with the 'winder' in the front, making the toy capable of turning on itself. ...and it's sexy too! http://michaelo.gfxartist.com/artworks/180375 MichaelO Photo Manipulation / Dark Oh, just a little something I've been tinkering with in my mad science lab. Really no rhyme or reason behind it. I just started with a concept and ran with it. With all the great reference photos I have of MOSH, it's hard to pick only one. I suppose that's why I picked two... http://michaelo.gfxartist.com/artworks/176780 MichaelO Photo Manipulation / Light Just for fun. Just Photoshop. http://michaelo.gfxartist.com/artworks/175778 MichaelO Painting / Figure Kind of another redo of an old concept - this 'bride of Frankenstein-esque' character is obsessed with health or the lack there of - which is just another excuse for me to manipulate the body like I love to do. model: http://nikxstock.deviantart.com/ http://michaelo.gfxartist.com/artworks/175579 MichaelO Painting / Figure 'A thousand places to land and he chose me' Sort of a metaphor for those who are lucky enough to find someone in this world. model: http://nikxstock.deviantart.com/ http://michaelo.gfxartist.com/artworks/175303 MichaelO Painting / Figure I wanted to take a break from my typical imagery and try this Asian style of digital art that is popular and, well, really cool! The work of contemporary Asian artists is mind blowing in my opinion and I just had to see if I could get anywhere near their abilities. When I began this image, I... http://michaelo.gfxartist.com/artworks/173688 MichaelO Painting / Figure This was a submission I did for a contest about humanity. The title, 'Skin Deep' of course refers to the common phrase 'beauty is only skin deep' meaning, a beautiful face can sometimes hide an ugly inside. It is a common truth in our world and a very 'human'... http://michaelo.gfxartist.com/artworks/173194 MichaelO Painting / Figure A 'trophy wife' by most definitions is a woman that a man marries only for her good looks and as a boost to his status. This image has a similar theme to my previous image, Skin Deep, in which I've attempted to portray a negative human trait in an eye catching way. Why... http://michaelo.gfxartist.com/artworks/172922 MichaelO Photo Manipulation / Dark Commissioned piece. The photographer asked me to come up with a concept for the model with the set of images he provided me with. My idea was to make the image look like the magician was making herself disappear but that took more than one image which you can see from the originals I've... http://michaelo.gfxartist.com/artworks/170633 MichaelO Painting / Figure Someone one told me that in the future, when all races are merged back into one, The dominant traits that will remain are fair skin, Asian eyes, and red hair. I thought the red hair didn't really fit so I left it out of this one. The model for this image (Maria), living in Hong Kong... http://michaelo.gfxartist.com/artworks/170210 MichaelO Photo Manipulation / Dark I was going to save this image for my book but I'm realizing how far away that is so... enjoy! Model: MOSH I see a few of you have asked if this is a painting or a manip? It's both. That is why half of my work has been entered into the painting category and the other half... http://michaelo.gfxartist.com/artworks/170010 MichaelO Painting / Figure I wish I knew how to play your song. http://michaelo.gfxartist.com/artworks/168708 MichaelO Painting / Figure I know you're in there somewhere http://michaelo.gfxartist.com/artworks/168707
