rafa zanchetin - Thanks man, i'llt ry to post more often ;) The pokemon is one of the newer ones, I didn't have a clue either but I left the original in the corner of the piece :p
Lyraina - Thanks a lot for the support :) Still not really working out but I guess I 1, need to get better and 2, keep being persistent I guess. And yeah, giant lave/fire insect monsters is defiantly up there as one of my more enjoyable things to paint :D
Archreux - Thanks man and its good to see you around too dude! Thanks for all the support and kind words, they mean a lot. Shitty day jobs are never fun but I guess is all part of the process. Take care mate.
Egbu - Thanks man, that's cool to hear ;) Everyone goes through pauses and bumps in the road so don't feel too bad, just keep pushing forward and you cant go too far wrong ;) Thanks for the kind words and encouragement too dude, all the best.
Not a great deal of exciting shit to show, but alas, hopefully more to come soon. On my frantic and desperate hunt for work ive been having a lot of thoughts and realisations and its taught me a lot in a short space of time.
I'm still going to do pure painted illustration stuff but I think without noticing it ive found myself in a little bubble or box of routine and complacency in the way I work. Like Ive found a comfortable way of working which is in alot of respects holding me back. I would tell myself for instance that 'using photos is not my thing, its cheating' or 'I don't like 3d so im not going to learn the software' when ironically when I first started doing this, those types of things used to excite me, doing stuff I was clueless about.
Because of this, things like my design is suffering. My imagination is stale as are other things. So I know ive said this before but I think im going to try and venture into different waters. Try loads of different styles and techniques as well as try more environments and stuff. Hopefully this will bridge the gap and help beef up my courage, inspiration and weaknesses. I guess time will tell :)
Anyways, some more crap!
studies
