Thanks- one of my goals when painting is that I want things to feel very tangible, so I am glad that idea comes across.

It comes through perfectly. This painting has a lot of depth and the character looks like he could easily be a figurine on my desk.

Is there anything in particular that you keep in mind or try to do that helps you accomplish that feel of tangibility?

One of my main goals when painting is to give a slightly carved/faceted look to surfaces since I find that really appealing; I believe that contributes to the tangibility factor. Other than that, making sure that the lighting does a fairly accurate job of describing the forms is very important. Technically, painting is very much about adhering consistently to a set of rules regarding lighting, so I try my best to achieve that in my work.
