Cris Ortega by Catherine Lewanski

One artist I greatly admire I found during another, very similar art project for an online digital arts class. Cris Ortega, born in Valladolid, Spain, is a published comic book author, whose ditigal art pieces are entrancing to look at with their almost blurry dreamlike quality to them.

She began her writing/drawing career at 19, when she drew a comic for one of the short stories she had written. Realizing this was the profession she wanted (not the aeronautics or astronomy career she had been persuing at the time) she began seriously working on her art.

Cris Ortega has had a wide variety of experience, ranging from graphic design to advertising to game figure design to comics and even photography. But her strong suit will always remain her digital pictures, two examples of which are provided below.

Gate of Destinies

Ice Maiden

Ex Machina

Lady of the Rhine
Queen of Shame

Till death do us part

Wheel of Time
Oops. That's a lot more than two. Sorry. Got carried away. And in case anyone is interested, the first work I found while doing the aforementioned project was the one at the bottom of the list, titled "Wheel of Time".

If you are interested in seeing more of her artwork, her website is: http://crisortega.com/index.html . I highly recomend it.
