Hey, looking good! You're really coming along with the scene painting on those waterfalls...nice work!

When I looked at that pencil drawing, the one with the guys in heavy armour, though--the one I ...

Thanks, Matthew...sorry, I have no clue what the Wannabies is, though. images/smiles/icon_sad.gif

Guess I must be getting old or something.

Is that a WILLY I spy?

Ha, ha--happy Halloween to you too. Nice pumpkins.

I gave it some changes based on crits I got here and elsewhere--the pose at least should look more natural now. Probably too late to make it PERFECT, but I can try for more perfection next time, eh?

Try selling them instead of just DOING them. Advertise that you are taking commissions, then do them as fast as you can once you get the money. When someone has paid in advance, you CAN'T dawdle aro ...

YESSSSS, Gimbal, that's EXACTLY the kind of thing I was looking for! Thank you so much--I had missed that problem entirely. I think I will get someone to pose for me next time I do some figure drawi ...

Thanks for the crits, guys! To be honest, though, these aren't quite the kinds of crits I was looking for. I should have made this clear initially--it is my fault, not yours.

The thing is, if I wan ...

"I watched two barn swallows from the window of my room. They flew together like two lost souls of lovers who had finally found each other after centuries of searching. I watched them for five whole ...

Per project...within reason. I like to give people an even flat rate, no surprises, so they know exactly what they're getting, when to expect it, and how much it is going to cost them. I'll even do ...

I'm really enjoying this thread...sorry to be such a lamer and not contribute...but I did want to say that I love this thread anyway. I check it out every day.

Great work, all of you.

I know what you mean, Light...I tried doing line art digitally a couple of times, but the lines are never as smooth as what I can get with a pen.

In the end, I figured it was better (not to mention f ...

Some time in late '98 (my shock-horror-heinousness phase - JESUS GOD WHAT WAS I THINKING?) ...this is back in the day when I thought Render > Lens Flare was a legitimate method of shading in Photos ...

Hey, does this mean my original profile will become uncorrupted, and I'll be able to be plain ol' Socar MYLES again, without this pretentious J. stuck in the middle of my name?

It is hard to expand one's palette without the resulting pictures losing coherency...I've just started to expand the colour range I am using myself.

This is my shopping list when I buy oil paint, tho ...

...not very detailed, I know, but it is a brief explanation of how I make textures.

Blimey, I totally missed this! Just wanted to add my best wishes to the pile. Keep your chin up, Britney...everyone on Sijun is rooting for you.

Well, this picture is going to end up looking quite different when finished (this WAS the finished version, but the customer's sister had other ideas!) But...yeah, anyway.

yeah bob - He's just someo ...

It is a quick one...another pet portrait. I am catching up on non-commercial commissions lately.

Usually, I don't bother to post the reference picture, but ...

I love a snail! Well, this one, anyway. I haven't got anything intelligent to say--just that I very much like this piece--the palette and the subject matter are very appealing.

Sumaleth - Thank you! Glad to hear you like it! It was a very fun image to do--very unusual subject for me.

sds8873 - No rat this time! images/smiles/icon_sad.gif Glad you like it anyway, though ...

Okay, this is the cover for my friend Gary Allen's first novel, "The Heather Thane". It's point-of-no-return finished (it has been approved and the full ver ...

As far as I can tell, employers in the freelance field, especially in comics, don't give a rat's patootie where you went to school.

For game-design jobs and higher-profile advertising jobs, yes, it m ...

Thanks for the replies!

LoTekK - Thanks! Glad you like the palette...I've been having fun with these warm autumn colours lately. Good point about the Saint Bernard...I think I put a fold in the fle ...

Dumbass question: What are colour flats?

The 12 X 12 tablet always struck me as weird...who has a square monitor? No way can the surface map accurately to the monitor, unless there are areas at the top and/or bottom that you simply can't us ...

Yeah. That's a Saint Bernard in the background. Don't get on my back about it, eh? It wasn't MY idea. (Excuses, excuses! images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif )

Malachi - Thank you very much! Glad you like it.

ChiaNi - Eh...it's nice and all...but you should start your own thread, or put it in a thread that's actually intended for posting similar pieces. I ...

HAH! I found it on Google by searching for movies with heroin, then searching those results for "squatters".

The movie was Dog Run:

I don't know if it's New York, but there are several scenes in a park.

It isn't Kids, though. I've seen Kids, and I do remember that one.

Okay, I remember next to NOTHING about this movie, but I need to find out its name.

Here's what I DO remember:

* Two guys take a bus to a big city to sell drugs (weed, I think.)

* They end up livin ...
