Get in it - arden - 06-06-2013 Hey dudes, gonna try and track my studies and sketches here! Goal is making it in freelance, same as most everyone else here I suppose. Here's some recent work, the point I'm trying to improve from: Some recent hand studies. There's a bunch more of these on my blog, been really trying to focus on them lately: Quick(ish) 90 minute armor study from Game of Thrones! A show I haven't actually seen, that has amazing designs. Repin colour study, tryin to get better at skin tones: Fun imagination painting (applying the skin colours from the above): Sketch that's probably going nowhere: RE: Get in it - atrenr - 06-06-2013 Great start, hope to see this updated a lot! RE: Get in it - EduardoGaray - 06-06-2013 this is seriously awesome, really inspiring. If you cant make it as freelance then the rest of us are doomed. I agree with atrentr, keep this updated :) RE: Get in it - Toxicpanda - 06-06-2013 I love your style, this is so inspiring and beautiful. I love this last character. Keep up with good work :D I can't wait to see new stuff. Have fun : ) RE: Get in it - helmighs - 06-06-2013 Wow girl, what I see so far is definitely ready for the freelance biz when it comes to bookcovers and card illustrations. Have you tried applying for things such as: Cryptozoic, Moonga and Fantasy Flight games? Keep on posting I'd love to keep track of you :) ps your top image.. OMG! <3 RE: Get in it - Izzual - 06-06-2013 WOW ! Amazing stuff here ! Like Eduardo said if you can't make it as a feelance then we won't ever hahaha ! Anyway, good luck and can't wait to see more of your awesome work :) ! RE: Get in it - Craig Paton - 06-07-2013 Oh my. Good stuff, real good stuff. Imma keep an eye on this thread. More please. You'll have no problem getting freelance work, sir. RE: Get in it - Saraiza - 06-15-2013 love your stuff! Really a pleasure to look at :D hoping to see more from you RE: Get in it - Art.ful - 06-15-2013 Really inspiring! I like it alot! RE: Get in it - Rognoll - 06-15-2013 I've seen much worse artists succesfully freelancing. Have you showed you portfolio to any company yet? I mean, you've got some sick stuff, man! RE: Get in it - arden - 06-18-2013 Cheers for the support everybody! I have sent my portfolio around to the companies mentioned, as well as a couple others (except Cryptozoic, haven't tried them yet!). The only ones I heard back from are WotC and FFG. WotC told me I'm "on file" and I'm not sure how likely that is to translate into work or in what time frame. I am actually doing work for FFG now! I'm also working for a Melbourne games company and other odds and ends (private commissions). Just doesn't total up to bills paid yet. But I've not been doing it very long. These applications that I didn't hear back on at all were about a month ago. Anyways, later update than I was hoping! Not in the habit yet. :0 Also not a ton to show, client stuff stacking up a bit. More hands: Did some more on that lady! This was really fun. :) Actually worked more on that earlier crappy sketch, just used it to try out some things. Gonna let it go now. Sketch for the ArtOrder Tank Girl challenge! Really hoping I can get this done on time. I wanted to do a bit of an Ash Wood inspired vertical composition. Not at dynamic as what he can do with limbs and machinery but I think it's gonna be really fun to finish. Sub Girl, Tank Girl, and Jet Girl! RE: Get in it - Tygerson - 06-19-2013 Stunning work! That blue-ish character especially is so hauntingly beautiful, with an almost undead vibe.
