Silveraxe: thanks man! still learning with color, but i appreciate the comment!

malo: haha they're in the works for ya man!

ElCoro: Wow! jeez dude, that means a lot to me man! ive got a big Internet crush on ya, so i truly appreciate you lookin at my stuff! thanks again!

ok so ive been watching Being Human, the new north american version, so i guess thats where this next sketch has kinda come from.

Also, im noticing that my stuff is kinda overly saturated on certain monitors, or is it just me? ive been fighting with my work monitor for months and i just saw some of this stuff on a HDTV and said " ooh wow thats gross" so maybe its just the HDTV settings .. or what? but let me know what you guys are seeing, specially in this next one. thanks!

also, more to come!

I have noticed on the last couple posts the colors were bright, but I just thought it was what you intended :P TBH they weren't super-saturated I thought, but fairly bright. I'm on a 24" IMac.

Sweet rendering on the muscles man, nice contrast and poses too.

Colors are a bitch in the digital world tbh

, every monitor displays images differently.
You do use high saturated colors in your work tho it's not over the top on my monitor. On tv's I think saturation is always boosted since it gets a richer picture and if you are going to display a high satured image on it, it might be oversatured. Perhaps you should compare to images of other artist you like, to see if it is the tv's settings.

nice things here man, the rock dude is great! you should bring that one to finish.

Wreck · 05:34 PM

made a post on the CA boards, here it is.

"been pretty busy and stressed out for the last few weeks from mostly work. things are finally slowing down now ....

Ive gotta say though, im thinkin i need to move on, work wise. i need to do something before im stuck in a rut.

Heres whats on my mind, if anyone has any experience on this then please, do share!

Im thinkin of taking a year off to work on my portfolio. I really cant afford to go to school, but yet i want to get some finalized pieces in my portfolio, enough to get me a gig at a decent studio in some bigger city. The only way I can see myself getting more finalized pieces in my portfolio is to stop working and use my 9-5 working on my own stuff.

Like i said i dont have money to spend on schooling, but i do have some saved up from the last couple years. If i budget it out, and cancel some luxuries i dont really need, i could probably last a good 8 months, maybe more if i find myself some freelance somehow.

anyways, i really need to make a change. something needs to happen or im gonna lose it. and i think this might be it. i dont want to be irrational about it, i know what im potentially getting myself into if i were to do this, theres risks, im aware, but at the same time, i see the benefit, a leap of faith, i know, but man, i really need to do something. i think this is all i have for options here.

what do you guys think? should i suck it up, and settle for what i have already and rely on luck and fate to give me something new? or should i take a chance, and try and better myself on my own and then go after what i want head on?

..heh.. thats all.

anyways, like i said, been busy, this is all i have for sketches..."

a few people have replied with positive feedback, suprisingly! and i think im gonna go through with this. Just a matter of time now. gotta meet up with my bank on setting things up and then i gotta let my boss know of course. but after that, i think ill be finally free

and able to feel good about my stuff. im truly looking forward to this, to be able to have more than an hour per day to work on my own shit is awesome. bit scared honestly, from the reality of this actually happening now. but the majority of me is feeling relieved and happy, so thats how i know im doin the right thing, cus you just feel it.

anyways mafawkas, heres a doodle!

Congrats on your decision! Lighting on that creatures head looks great btw

Silveraxe · 06-22-2011, 10:01 PM

That's a killer head! Love it

Congrats on your decision, many people can't bring themselves to do it, and suffer. I hope this will be a good new beginning for you!

Lisa-Ayla · 06-22-2011, 11:03 PM

Congrats on quitting your job dude! I read through this thread and I also wanted to say how sorry I am to hear about the loss of your father. I also lost a parent to cancer and it is such a hard thing to go through, but I'm sure he'd be proud to see that you're taking things into your own hands to do exactly what you want in life. It takes a lot of balls to do what you're doing and I honestly wish you the best of luck, I look forward to seeing a lot more from you!
