Hey everyone, I took advantage of Photoshop tonight since it wanted to work without crashing my ghetto computer and I decided to go out on a limb and create my very first digital painting in Photoshop. No, I don’t have a Wacom (although I long for the day I own one), so I just used the mouse, some brushes, and a filter here or there (surprisingly not many filters at all though). Well here it is… [http://www.lostinbeta.com/images/soulSearching.jpg](http://www.lostinbeta.com/images/soulSearching.jpg) Let me know what you think of it. Good? Bad? Ugly? Pretty? ---

Wow it looks like an aerial view of a forest and in the horizon is smoke from a fire. It’s not good, it’s not bad, it’s not ugly and it’s not pretty either. It’s what I would call an experiment. =) ---

Kit: Thanks. And I am awaiting that day as well. When that day comes I will probably die of over-excitement, but that Wacom will not leave my cold dead hands!!! Soul: Actually you popped into my mind as I was naming it, but that was after I decided on a name for it 😛 Why did you have to choose the name “soul”, now whenever I think about it or talk about it makes me think about you…LOL. ---

I like it I see like a mix between nature and technology. It looks to me like a forest or some sort of flora in like an equalizer or something similar. Don’t know how to explain it but it speaks to me. Figuratively of course. It’d be kinda creepy if it really talked to me. ---
