Unclaimed Prizes

Hey folks, just a heads up that I have a few people who have not responded to my emails to claim the raffle winnings. If you happen to see this and haven't checked your mail, please do. :)

I'll send out a reminder email in a couple weeks, after which I will re-draw numbers and give the prize out to another person on the list.

New stuff coming soon, I've been spending time working on web development projects and am also trying to not do 500 things at once. So far it's been working out. Things move a little slower (I am spread across 3 disciplines - web, design, and art) as I work a little on all three, but actually completing things is far better than having 20 open unfinished projects. :)

Thanks as always!

Video Winners Chosen!

Just a quickee post to tell you that the winners for the How-To Video Raffle have been chosen!

I used a random number generator (....there's a website for that. Of course. random.org).

There were 41 participants who gave their email for the raffle with 6 winners. I emailed everyone to let them know whether they won or not, so please check your mail!

Speaking of mail, If you'd like to be notified when new videos are available, I've set up a mailing list.
Find it here: http://eepurl.com/ci9HD

Thanks again! I had some fantastic, useful, and inspiring feedback. I'm psyched to get the first part of the series done.

Thanks again!

"Doodle" 2-14

I missed a couple days as we went away for the weekend and Sunday I was just plain lazy!

But I tried to make up for it last night by starting to concept what I hope to be a nice and large wall mural:

I want the base to be symmetrical, but I'll be painting most of the detail individually so there's more visual goodies to soak up. I want it to have 'layers' of patterns. 

We went to the Art Museum in Philly this weekend as part of our getaway, and I was really inspired most of all by the depth and detail in paintings, as well as the ornate detail in some of the renaissance-period armor and weapons. I can't wait to go back. 4 hours was definitely not enough!

Daily Doodles 2-9 and 2-10

2-9-2011: Concept work for Vespora. This is a race that will appear to be a cross between a chinese dragon and a humanoid - getting closer but not there yet!

2-10-2011: We had our P&P RPG Group last night, and as we're doing a Star Wars Campaign, I drew my character, which is a Torguta (sp?) Jedi. I NEVER play Jedis, I'm typically the goofball who plays stuff like a Wookiee Scoundrel or whathaveyou. ;)

Daily Doodles 2-7 and 2-8

2/7/2011 - Turkey Bikini???

2/8/2011 - Hair salon advert

These have been great for relaxing and having fun, but now it's time for some bigger concept art or speed paints or something I think. :)

Portrait: Teufelia and Daily Doodle 3

Quickee post from this weekend's work.
Most of my effort was into the video pilot I posted everywhere, but in addition I finished this portrait for a friend:

Bit of a different painting style, which was fun. :) I counted this as Saturday's "Daily Doodle".

Sunday was also a quickee, but much needed practice on males:

Was all but 20 minutes of drawing though which was kind of lame. I'll do better tonight. :) Need to start working on some costume design for humans, male military-esque 'grunts' in particular. Way out of my comfort zone of pretti elves - so I'm looking forward to it. :)

Oh and...

Watch and Survey my Pilot Video Please!!

That's all for now!
