I know that I'm a slippery fish to get ahold of. Work day in and day out, and I'm bad about responding to comments and sometimes even notes. So I'm making a journal in which I will reply to every initial comment. No shirking
Commissions are currently closed









Off the top of your head, could you think of some refrences or exersies you found paticularly useful while learning to draw raptors? You draw the best raptors I've seen on the web. I'm trying to learn to draw them with the amount of personality as you do and any advice I could get would be really helpful.
Thanks for reading.
This coming summer, a friend and I are planning to get our first booths at a convention, but are a little nervous. I've been 'watching' you for a long time now on here,(
We're also debating on quick commissions there as well. Any advice you can give would be really appreciated!
I'm not so sure. That is, I don't pay too much attention to my popularity. What's important to me is making artwork. I imagine there are some nasty things said behind my back but I'm thankfully oblivious of that until someone draws my attention to it. I'd rather be working.
Ah... as for the messages, I read them all. But I can't respond to them all. Which causes some friction amongst people who don't realize that artists have lives. That can't be helped, though. I wish I could answer them all. I used to when I got only a few.
I agree about working on art being more important than your social status. A lot of close minded people tend to think popularity automatically means the artist is an arrogant and rude person.
Those are the people that need to learn how to tolerate and understand other people. So, I can imagine it's a nightmare receiving so many messages and having to read them all, haha.
Man, I wish I had something to talk about but I really don't. I'm just kind of worried about something that happened in school and college. Did you go to an art school or another type of college?
Inspiration hits me at odd times and in odd circumstances. Probably my answer should be brain chemicals. Some days I feel a rush of inspiration. Some days I don't. It isn't particularly dependent on one thing or another. But I generally feel better and feel more productive and inspired after I've gotten some exercise out of doors. It helps stir up the brain chemicals.
Do you use a tablet for digital work? If so do you have any advice about what kinds are better than other?
Kind of a wierd question I think ^^'
All the Wacom tablets are good. I believe in general Intuos is considered the best. 4 is out now. I have a little Intuos 3. I used to use Graphire and that served me pretty well.
