Art Director Daniel Dociu has once again traveled around the world spreading the good word of GuildWars2 and just as before he’s shared an enormous amount of concept and cinematic work to go with it. Some of my small contribution is below but you can and should view the massive slideshow on ArenaNet’s blog here: Click!

“We are like dwarfs on the shoulders of giants, so that we can see more than they, and things at a greater distance, not by virtue of any sharpness of sight on our part, or any physical distinction, but because we are carried high and raised up by their giant size.” - Bernard of Chartres

As always, check out my finished work here: The Crayonbox of DOOM!

I’ll have to come back to this one maybe? Or maybe I will just spend the time elsewhere. Been really hard on myself and my art lately, feels like there is no time to lose.

Can’t stop listening to: this
In a perfect world, I’d like to take a break and make music, or sculpt, or write, or cook or make films or get a puppy.

You can see a lot of the process of this piece in the various OnDemand sessions here:

A quicker one. Something simple along the lines of a good design is not when there is nothing left to add but it is when there is nothing left to take away… All I tried to add was taking away so even though this is rough I still like it :)

I’m looking to fill my schedule for immediate freelance specializing in environments, if you’re interested or know someone who is please drop me a line: thomasscholes gmail.com

Done for Beautifulgrim.org, All the artists contributions can be seen here. http://art.beautifulgrim.org/
“My name is Daarken and I am a concept artist and illustrator working for Mythic Entertainment. My friend Leif Jeffers, an animator at DreamWorks, and I are organizing an art auction fundraiser that will be held next year. Earlier this year my girlfriend, Cat, was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 25. On November 3rd, 2009, she had a bilateral mastectomy after going through 16 weeks of chemotherapy. As you can imagine it has been hard for her, not only mentally and physically, but financially. In order to help alleviate some of her medical bills Leif and I wanted to throw an art auction. The proceeds that are left over after her medical bills have been paid will go to a breast cancer related charity to be determined by the artists in the coming weeks.”

Mike and Cat are newly engaged. Please give them your support, spread the word and do what you can for the charity. Please visit the website for upcoming information on the showing and auction. In the meantime you can donate on the main-page here.

A pair done quickly, anything I added seemed to take away so in essence I suppose they are complete. Done with spare moments, the kind I wish were in abundance.

More updates on my blog and sketchblog.

Something new and something old that hasn’t found it’s way here yet.
I should be updating my finished blog and my sketch blog more often, haven’t found the time but will make time.
