I'm Martina Stipan from Croatia. 16-year-old me started this art project not knowing when it will be finished. But I was sure of one thing, I was going to finish it, no matter what.

I started it because I needed to push myself to make more unique artworks. And this was just the perfect way to do it. It's a bitter-sweet feeling finishing this because that means I have finally imagined and created 100 artworks, but then again, I have done them all.

So, something about the last one - Farewell. I wanted to finish in a similar tone to how it started. The first artwork, Abandoned, was published on July 12, 2014, and it's still one of my favorite drawing ideas. Farewell is a really personal work of art and that's why this is really important to me.

This is how a child feels when a mother passes on and the father looks for another wife and forgets he ever had a child... Speaking from experience.

All cut and paste photo manipulation. She is good at it. But needs to give credit to the original sources and not misslead people into thinking these are her own images created by her. Just cut and paste art with clever photoshopping.

Young artists have to be respectful and ethical if they want to be true professionals. It's more than just creating pretty pictures.

I always wanted to work in the creative field so I could share my perspective of the world. All of these beautiful drawings are done in Adobe Photoshop and with help of tablet Wacom Intuos Pro.

And how many times did I fail during these 4 years? Many times. I just counted 27 unpublished creative ideas that I felt weren't good enough. And failure is your best friend because you learn that you can get back up, create, and do more.

Which artworks are your favorites? Stay creative and keep dreaming wide awake!

    I think every artist struggles with creative block at times. I like to take breaks from art when I can't come up with an idea. Or if I really have to create something, just for a goal I set to myself, I purposely search for inspiration, whether that is from movies, music, nature, or something else. Most of my work is already inspired by personal experiences or emotions. I'd like to think that I don't have any unusual techniques, but I'm sure you can see the style I developed through my artworks.

    Such beautiful work!!! So serene.

    I've always looked up to Jonas De Ro, I'm nowhere near his level of technique, but his style and ideas are always amazing. Panji Andrian “panjoool” is also an artist that I look up to. I think it's hard for young artists to develop style at first, but after years of creating art, I think the artist's style is recognizable even if it's digital art.

    such good art it looks so real great job

    The time to finish an artwork really depends on my workflow, if I have a set idea, it takes much quicker than when I'm constantly trying to find new things and ideas on how to create art. Mostly that time can take from 4 to 7 hours. I have so many artworks that I yet have to show present to galleries and have my own exhibition, so that would be one of my goals, as well as finally creating a personal art store for prints, licenses of my art.

    I had a similar style painting of four children playing on a dirt road with a wagon of sorts and a house on a hill just above them. I loved that painting and this one would take it's place even if it is photo shopped and mine was a print of the original. My print was 36" x 26" . It was burned in a fire.

    Out of all the pictures I have just dreamed over, I do think this one is my favorite. It has all the elements that I need for my soul to survive. Very large trees, Water fall and a sand bar with the water turning quiet and then there is the house that watches over all of this beautiful and peaceful piece of Heaven that I could dwell in forever.

    Music controlls time... ig if you think a bout it one of the more definite ways to show how we as humans have progressed through the ages is through music, from when it wasn't even a thing, to when it was tonal, and then written, and then when pythagoreas made the "perfect" chord making system, etc etc.

    I guess the point of the paintings themself is showing how astonishing landscapes can be, how two seperate things (the green and the sunset; the storm and the light) are able to blend into eachother to make one landscape and make sense. I've never really thought about that before.

    I like the composition of the painting, but I do have some constructive feedback if youre willing to hear it I feel like the painting doesnt blend. It feels like 3 different paintings, becuase the alteration in style. The giraffe and the sky are in a kinda of realistic style, while the forest s more stylistic, if you know what i mean. Also, the giraffe isn't being affected my the sun in the sam way as the trees, it doesnt blend. But man, you have some great talent and I wish I was as good as you ;--; alas I just don't have the time to practice. Keep it up! I love it!
