Probably for as long as I can remember, I just recently started painting though and thats been great, I was always afraid to venture outside of drawing and actually go somewhere with it.
And thank you, I appreciate the comment

I know oil paintings are annoying, I do acrylic mostly, I really only have three or four paintings total I'll have to post them sometimes, do you draw too?

Oh, that's great, Shiny! Really great. I have to show this to my Peeler friend Bender_Waffles! She adores octopi/octopusses, and has an awesome tattoo of one, too.  [edit] Bender_Waffles (Anastasia) loves it  [edit#2] In fact, her exact reaction was:

Fantastic work, Shiny! Your traditional media skills are on point. That octopus stands out the most. I really like how smooth the color gradient is. The lips on their own kind of look like the risky lips from the Rocky Horror Picture Show (one of my all-time favorite movies, so that is definitely a compliment!)  Did you use Prismacolor markers or regular ones?

Very nice, Shiny! You have a good eye for detail and shading. And Athena, I was thinking that the lip pic reminded me of some old Rolling Stones album cover, but now that you mention it, Rocky Horror is definitely a better match  (and also AC/DC's Highway to Hell album cover).
