I really liked a lot of the works created by Melanie Delon. She's actually a digital painter, meaning that she creates her images through the use of computer programs. However, just because she uses technology, doesn't mean that her works don't show any skill or talent--its actually quite the contrary. Her paintings caught my eye because the look so realistic even though many of the subject matter derives from a fantasy world. That link to the video of her painting gives us an insight on the process it takes to create such an image--I thought it was really fascinating! It seems like she favors drawing females, one in particular (maybe herself?) in a somewhat eerie light; there seems to be a weird glow to each one of her paintings. All in all, Delon has an awesome imagination and great use of technique.
