Title: Florida Sport FIshing Magazine Cover Entry
Post by: sullyman on June 17, 2013, 02:01:22 PM
Hey Guys!,

Just felt the need to post a recent personal piece that I created for the Florida Sport Fishing Magazine cover contest. They just annonced the cover and I didn't make it but I had a lot of fun making the design. Had a few minor break-throughs while creating it. In the end run that's what it's all about having fun and learning more! Hope you dig ;)

That is a very nicely done piece of marine life art.

Thanks everyone!

I actually got a look at some of the runners up... I think the mag is a little biased towards traditional mediums. I don't think digital painting gets as much respect as it should. Yeah, it takes time to dry paints but tools are tools and traditional approaches are the same no matter how you slice it. Even the masters used short cut methods! lol

Looks very well done. Professional in anyones definition, but yea,  I've seen those cover competitions. Pretty tough


They do lean more towards traditional painting methods (as well as artist that are more known for marine life "paintings" in around the Florida fishing scene. I think the Mag wants that connection for the readers to be able to recognize an artist name or style from their area.


I live here in Central Fl. When you look at all of the candidates, they all seem to be "from" and participate in and around those scenes. You will see them at events and what not. The artist street shows and fishing shows etc.


One of our printer members here had been recently looking for some art like that to use  for a fishing tourney for his family member. I think it was for a small sublimation order but you could sell him a use of that.  Contact Matt aka balloonguy (member here).


Nothing wrong with yours tho. Great job!

Nice work Sully. Reminds me of the Wyland and Guy Harvey stuff we used to print back in the 80s. Why not turn it to t-shirt art assuming you have a market?
