An ordinary artist shows you the things everybody can see. The egotistical artist shows you the things only he can see. But the great artist shows you things nobody ever saw before.

    Cool Pix!!! It´s way cool, but is it computer-drawn or drawn by hand? I´m always curious about that.

    I don’t know about this image specifically, but my impression is that most of these are drawn on paper first, then scanned and finished in Photoshop. See the links in the article to Tutorials and in the first comment to instructional DVDs.

    Also see my more recent post about Feng Zhu’s involvement with Gamma Ray Studios.
