Challenging yourself to become a better artist.

Saw this article on Deviantart. Figured I should post it up for anyone who hasn't seen it. I Agree with a lot of what the writer says. Forcing yourself out of your comfort zone is a good way of improving. if you're not so good of a background artist, start drawing backgrounds. if your coloring is a little weak start experimenting with colors. Definitely use references if you need to. I can't stress that one enough. It's not cheating or a sign of weakness to use references. That falls into the whole idea of working smarter.

anyways that's enough ranting on my end. I'm about to pop in Star Trek.

I'm 100% recovered now!!

No more coughing, no more feeling like crap. And now I have to prep the house for my sister coming down from Denver to visit. And you guys? I didn't forget about you. I did some drawings last night for another idea i had for a comic. As it stands I have four comic series ideas floating around in the noggin. This one will be a one-shot, another will be my 4 pager for Gargabox's Missles and Diamonds: Super lovely tales Anthology, Solar Bomb and ???? will be main offerings.

I had a awesome talk with some of the artists from Krypton Comics' artist jam, yesterday about how comics, music and video games need to get their crap together. It was cool because it helped me reaffirm my ambitions about my own work.

I hope you guys are doing well, and that you all have a great Thanksgiving. I have good news. This week I'll be coming up on both a laptop and hopefully if i can get this machine up and running, a new computer. yay!! I'm just going to have to put my underutilized computer repair and maintenance skills to use.

happy Turkey day, guys.

Heads.

Hope you doodz had an awesome halloween. I'm alive. Had the stomach flu, and Bronchitis. Still kind of recovering from bronchitis. God I hate people who don't cover their effing mouths.


Head studies again. I've been so swamped on SB that I felt like I needed to break out and do something different. ugh I can't wait until I get a new machine.

Just to let people know that I'm alive.....

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been around much. I really wanted to post more, but with my computer currently out of commission (yes again.) I've kind of been low teching it.

To give an update I am currently computerless, but I'm a chapter and a half in with scripting for my new comic Solar Bomb. I'm excited for this. I can't give away too many details, since right now everything is in a state of flux, however I am not without a few promotional images

Who are these guys, and what adventures await them? are they friends foes, romantically involved? (i chuckled a bit as i typed that.)

We shall find out very soon.

have a great weekend, guys.

The Vendor Client relationship - in real world situations

this is both hilarious and sad at the same time, and yet freelancers deal with this all the time.

props to Maximo for posting this up on the Gargabox.

Spaceboy mk 2

So I've been easing back on the Street Fighter stuff. I have like one more in my sketchbook to expand on but right now I'm interested in what I was telling you guys about back in Dec/January. Rememeber that Spaceboy and his robot charcter? well Fresh off of the remake kick and decided to give them a LeWayne Jones makeover. Naturally, now I want to come up with a series of short Comics based on thier cosmic misadventures. I'll be posting up a couple more character designs while I belt out some secenarios and comic panels. oooooh i'm so hyped right now.!!

You have no diginity...

Well my PC is now in limbo as to whether it works or not. This is just another roadblock in the path to becoming a pro. I'm assuming it's a issue with a power surge. I forgot to unpack my serge protector... yeah i know. I still have to check to see if the ram and the HDD are still intact if so I'll just get a new power supply and go from there.

Dudley. I like the old-timey feel i get from him. He's a gentleman boxer in an age of ruffians and hooligans. So i decided to make a more appropriate design
