Nevan Doyle Behence
Nevan Doyle has come to my attention due to his digital design and artwork. I read an interview where he speaks about how he got started as an artist. I was surprised to find he's only been doing it for 3 years. He states, " About 3 years ago, I came across Ted Craig's Halloween portrait series and I really liked it, and it made me want to make my own. I downloaded Gimp, took some pictures of my sister and I, and started to make my own edits. I had a rough start just like everyone, but I was inspired by making something that's impossible in reality...that makes people confused and excited"
He speaks also about what was the most challenging part of his orbs artwork.
"It was hardest when I just started, to figure out how it would even be possible. I started out in Photoshop using the polar coordinates distort filter, and then adding lens flare, but I wasn't getting the results I wanted. That's when I discovered Blender- the free 3D software. So, learning the 3D program from scratch was a huge undertaking, and it was the hardest part. I overcame it by a lot of trial and error and watching tutorials. The same as learning any program, except this one was very difficult. I almost gave up many times, but I'm really glad I didn't."
I am struck by his short time he has been in the industry and how experienced he is. Also, how he has progressed from Gimp to using Photoshop in his work with clients. He achieves what they require in their vision.
In looking at his work, I see him personify the human condition and how we struggle with our place in society and the universe.
