I've got a brand new digital painting today:





This was painted entirely in Photoshop and the only filter used was Lens Blur. I used a few brushes from brusheezy such as 'markerlines' and some of the 'energy' effects are from this set. I used the font Chitown from 1001freefonts.com.

"Alchemy" is the name of the character I created for this piece. He is a villain. I wanted to do a modern villain and a character who acquired powers in his early twenties. To establish these characteristics, I gave him a low-key, ordinary outfit rather than a flamboyant traditional villain outfit. If there really were heroes and villains, I think they would look more like Alchemy.

Alchemy's powers are somewhat magical. He can levitate and he can control energy of all kinds: electrical, solar, heat, and even the 'energy' in people. He then concentrates this energy into a ball and throws it, resulting in a powerful blast. In this piece, he is levitating collecting the energy around him.

Alchemy is very introverted, shy and unhappy. He wants the rest of the world to feel his pain and likes to cause anarchy. He is a loner.

Hope you like it!
