032514 a small update

 New things! I finished up my old sketchbook so I'm trying to deal with drawing on the first couple of pages of it. They will pass! The color bit took an hour tonight. How's everyone else doing?

Afro time!

A quick sketch, took under 45 mins about.

Cheers!

Dr. Fate, some more Prisma

Some more Prismacolor marker fun, a bit rougher than last.

Slowing down to improve

Here's a piece I was able to take my time on, first real success with the prismacolor markers.

Enjoy!

Forest Study

Spend about 1-2 hrs talking to a friend and trying to glean information from some reference photographs I took in the woods last year. Pretty vague all in all, but I've been feeling like I really just need to focus on learning about different material types a bit more.
I also invited another fellow to the blog that seems to be a like-minded individual, very self-motivated and set on improvement, so he might be posting on here soon as well.

More more Dragons of Elanthia concept art.

Hey guys! I figure as long as I can share some of the work that I've been doing on Dragons of Elanthia, I'm going to do so.

So these are some various concepts, some from a long time ago, some from more recently. You can probably tell which is which.

Also, I wanted to mention, next time you guys post some work be sure to take advantage of the option to add labels to your post. (in the blogger interface it's on the right side) Google will index those as relevant search keywords so that sites like chimera come up in random google searches. You may already know all this, but as general practice, tag the crap out of you stuff (especially on Deviantart). I'm only mentioning it because I recently got an awesome freelance job just because the AD at a publication searched for "pulp illustrators" or something and my work happened to show up on google.

I believe it could easily be as obnoxious as hashtag abuse, but one of the most difficult parts of being a professional in my experience is getting your work in front of people, so you might as well create as many opportunities for it to happen as possible, even if it's on accident!

More Dragons of Elanthia concept art

Here's some more, folks! Also, if you want to learn a thing or two about zbrush, check out this twitch tv channel that we started at work, my buddy Roder knows more about that program than anyone I know and he's been streaming his work and talking about it.

Moving onward to more work as I make this game.

BTW has anyone noticed how washed out images are when posted to blogger?  looks terrible!
