Doolio - Of course you can sir, and thanks by the way! I'm not too sure what mezzotint is but I appreciate the compliment no less ;)
Ed - Thaaaaanks mate. I try to upload different stuff to different blogs of mine, that way peeps like yourself can see different stuff when you check out my shit on different places ;D
The tifa study took about 6-7 hours so it's one of the longer ones I do. Still feels really off to me but I'm glad you like dude. It's been awesome watching you pump out stuff too, it's been a pleasure watching your style and skills evolve. Hope your well mate and stay strong.
pnate - Your a legend! Not preachy at all and I love direct and blunt crits. Thanks so much man, this means a lot especially coming from someone like yourself with such strong figure skills. Even if I don't get round to finishing this piece I'm going to apply the things you mentioned for sure. Anatomy still kills my brain, especially when combined with foreshortening and perspective >:s
Thanks again mate!
Lyraina - Thanks as always! Ive not finished something I'd call portfolio worthy in over 3 months which is terrible :O Been really wanting to build a new portfolio and start applying to companies but my stuff still feels really weak. It's kinda frustrating lol. Watching your stuff develop so fast as well as overs has had me motivated like crazy to get better at this. Always inspirational seeing your updates. Thanks again for dropping by and for the kind words :)
Sorry for the lack of updates lately, life has got pretty crazy recently and im in the process of trying to find balance again. No complains mind, painting has never seemed so rich and beautiful since all my time has been reduced.
Sorry also if this update is a tad shit, I really want to do some finished stuff again, just need to find something I really want to paint, which matches with what I want in my portfolio and also something I can learn and grow from while doing it lol.
ALSO on a side note, if any of you guys even read this crap I write, do you know of any good resources for the business side of art? Like how to apply to companies, who to contact, how to deal with invoices, receipts, cash flow, CV's etc etc? Finding tutorials for 'how to paint' something are easy and everywhere but finding good business advice is almost none existent as far as ive seen. It's almost seen as a taboo subject and it pisses me off. How do all other artists do this lol? I'm such a noob in this respect.
If the time comes where I become successful at this and build some wealth I'm going to create a channel or thread dedicated to this side of art and give all the info and help away for free, the crimson fashion!
