Welcome to my deviantart site. I'm a professional author named L.J. McDonald but I put my art here. I have some digital pieces and some of the more traditional.

My website for my writing is at www.ljmcdonald.blogspot.ca

Not Much To Say

1 min read
I'm not a professional artist. I don't feel nearly good enough to be one. I'm a professional author, but I use art to relax and have fun. If I have full ownership of the source of a piece, given I paint from photographs, I may put it up as a print, but I really don't expect anyone to buy one.

I use Photoshop CS5 and a wacom cintiq tablet to create my art. I mostly try to create images that remind me of oil paintings. How well I manage that is another matter.

Deviant Art is a wonderful place for people to display their art and there is some truly amazing work here.  I'm continually amazed.  In a lot of ways, I don't feel my own work stands up beside a lot of it, but this is really the only place for me to show it.  I don't know how many people will be interested, but I like to have a place where I can go "here's what I've done".  I'll add to the collection when I can and hopefully someone will see something they like.

I'm a noob

I don't know how I managed this, other than in that I'm not all that technical with computers, but in 2005 (apparently), I made an account under the name Hydraa in deviantart and promptly forgot I'd done so.  In 2008, I decided to make an account and saw that the username Hydraa was used.  Not realising I was the one using it, I made Hydraa158, then managed to seperately log into both and update my gallery and favorites, some in one account, some in the other.  Now I can't seem to log into Hydraa158 to get rid of it.  I only want one account, so I'm going to put everything under Hydraa.  If you see the same painting under Hydraa and Hydraa158, I'm not stealing it!  I really am the same person.  I'm just a twit.

This page is for my fantasy and wildlife art, just to give it a bit more exposure.  I don't sell prints, but I do sell my original work.  If you see a piece you want, you can ask me if it's available and for the price, or go to my website at www.lm-art.ca and all of that information is listed there.
