Doing good, man, just keep pushing out work like you do. I've been meaning to ask, I like the way your blog is set up and was wondering how you went about doing that exactly? I want to get something set up to establish some kind of online portfolio, but I'm not too familiar with setting up the blog. Any help would be great. :)

MrFrenik - Cheers dude. Both my blogs are just set up on tumblr. The drop down menus on the 10,000 hour one are added separately, so thats a little extra, but apart from that, they're pretty standard. Tumblr's pretty intuitive on the whole, give it a shot man, loads of free themes as well :) Shout if you've got any questions about it, I set mine up a while ago, so might have missed something :).

Speed paintings ftw! I like that Alien Aristocrat, he seems pretty awesome lol.
Environments are looking sweet too man, especially those rock studies 0_0 Painting rocks breaks my brain in so many ways haha.
Best of luck with the client stuff man, keep it coming.

EduardoGaray - Cheers man, Starting to get the hang of it, sort of, it's impossible lol ;)
Warburton - Yeah man, they're fun right? So tough though. Never seem to get quite as far with them as I want to lol. Cheers dude, I found getting super methodical with them seems to help (me) a lot. Ie, paint the snow and the rocks, on separate layers, then the cast shadows on their own layers, then the light on another layer, and the bounced light on another layer, and occlusion shadows on a final layer. It's not perfect, but it gives a framework for thinking about it. Otherwise, yeah, it breaks my brain for the most part lol.
MrFrenik - Sure thing dude :) Cheers

Man, as always, love the passion going on here in your work. Also enjoying the way your brush strokes are getting better and better with every study. Keep at it! I'm wondering what kind of amazeballs masterpieces you'll be turning out at hour 10,000

Pnate- Cheers man, haha, I dunno if I'll ever get to 'amazeballs' ;). We'll see though :)
Did a lot of sketching yesterday. Feel like, as I'm kind of starting fresh with environments, I want to get all of the shitty ideas out as quickly as possible. Gonna slow down, polish some stuff when I have a tiny bit more experience with them in a few weeks.
