--Wardy, Davin finch's gnomon dvds are priceless. Really really useful information for puting the human form in space
10 May 02:55
--wardy check out proko tv on you tube. it's great for begining in drawing characters

--http://vladgheneli.deviantart.com/ great vehicle artist i just found if anyone is interestd btw
10 May 02:45
--i may do some repaints of my old enviros soon. kinda want to try characters though but they always turn out terrible
10 May 02:43
--thanks guys! I think I will do that:) There's the next problem with that. I did this Bane character a couple of months ago, and my skills are well.... better now. So I'll just canibalize this piece to like instantly produce a portfolio piece:)

--If you change the eye makeup and the lightsaber it could just be ''a character'' instead of ''darth bane''
10 May 02:30
--If you got the design from the books, you could just change it a bit so that it doesn't look like every visual representation of bane on google and just call it your own
10 May 02:27
--oh no totally, i can see its an original design, its just having a lightsaber there to someone who doesnt know may suggest otherwise
10 May 02:23
--yeah I get it. but to be honest basically Bane (tha cahracter from the piece i linked) was never fully drawn, he was only described in the books. so there's the subject of using an description to build the design.. But I get what you say about one's creativity.

--thats not saying fan art/redesigns arent skillfull at all, its just you want to be showing that you are valuable as an idea generator, and the best way you can do that is through incluidng only YOUR designs
10 May 02:18
--a concept artist/illustrator should be 80% ideas 20% execution in my opinion. thats not saying you dont need to be skilled, its just that people employ you for your creativity, and your ability to convey those ideas. without the ideas there is no art. so you need to show your creativity not your ability to follow the designs from a pre-made template as it were
10 May 02:16
--Yeah, I know. Thanks for your response. That cleared some things in my head. so basically i need to not use any franchise...right?>
10 May 02:07
--essentially, if you can pass it off as a practice design for a project (ie as if you were working on star wars) then i think it will be ok, but if you pass it off as 'fan art' then probably no
10 May 02:07
--Thanks! yeah that's what Ive thought, I've got an comission for star wars character that I am doing now, and it's the same deal. I probably won't include it into portfolio...
10 May 02:06
--you may want to include it though under 'illustration' but make it clear it was a design
10 May 01:44
--Heeeya Daggers! quick question. Do you think it's allright to consider this piece in portfolio (I am aiming for trading cards market)http://tatarskiskandal.deviantart.com/ar...7543&qo=21 It's basically a portrait of a character that isn't made by me in the universum I didn't invented (Darth Bane, Star Wars). So it can be considered fanart. Do you think it's ok to include "fanart" in a portfolio?

--btw I'm still going hard at my perspective studies, is this looking alright? http://i60.tinypic.com/nqejb.png
