Oh Jake, I have been watching your thread since you started counting hours - always though that a clever idea. It's so soooooo nice to see it unfolding like this, and you're kicking so much ass.
Rock on mate!

Always nice to see your updates, keep it up man!
Also holy shit, some of your nature studies are crazy, love seeing those.

Pnate - Haha, yeah getting there. Cheers man, the studies are super fun. :)

Sula - Haha, it's one of those things that seemed like a good idea at the time. Now I've just been doing it for too long to quit ;) Thank you :)

Crackedskull - Haha, cheers dude, really appreciate it :D

Not a ton to show today

So many paintings man! Awesome sketchbook!


RE: Jake Bullock - 10000 Hour Rule - 3930/10,000 - Warburton - 03-02-2014

Almost 4000 hours man, impressive stuff :O With this much improvement in 4000 hours I can only imagine how shit hot your stuffs gonna be at 10000 lol.

Your stuff has taken a very unique style man, it's really cool watching it develop. Sounds kinda strange but on some of your pieces, the colours and values look so slick that it's tough to see how you've painted them lol. I like this grainy feel some of your pieces have too, like this latest lava pit piece. Is that done with a brush or do you drop a filter or texture on them at the end?


RE: Jake Bullock - 10000 Hour Rule - 3955/10,000 - JakeB - 03-03-2014

razvanb08 - Cheers man :)

Warburton - Haha, still a long way to go yet, cheers though :) Thanks man, I'm definitely getting more comfortable with how I paint, so maybe that's where the 'style' is coming in? No idea lol. Hmm, not sure what you mean. Thanks though, I think ;). And yeah, it's just an unsharp filter, then a noise filter on the flattened image right at the end. Not sure why I do it. Just became a habit, and I think it looks kinda cool lol. Gonna keep doing it until someone tells me to stop.

Nice work man. Have you ever had any thoughts about doing an IP. With your skill level it might get somwhere :)

Crackedskull - Cheers dude. Na, not really, don't think I'm at that kind of level yet. Also, I haven't really had any ideas I'd want to flesh out properly. One day though, always looks fun :)
