Thanks for the kind words and support.
Re my situation. I'm currently studing again but not illustration, so my paintings are on hold at the moment. I've got a couple that aren't far off completion I just have to get around to them at some point.
Generally with my work I tailor it for lower rez, it work sort of like how the impressionist paintings did. From a distance it would come into focus and seem more real than when observed close up. My stuff seems more detailed at a smaller rez than at a larger rez.
Thanks again and all the best to you as well!
