The two below were a struggle, while the one above was a joy.

Funny how that works.

Visual Brainstorming for a personal project.

I’m alive and I’m back, I promise I’ll never leave you again <3

details details details, almost killed me

Two quick paints from post-it scribbles:

Thanks for looking <3

More work for another unannounced project I was happy to have the chance to work on.

It’s not been a slow realization that I haven’t truly sat down to do my own work in well over half a year and it’s honestly been of great detriment to my life in general. I hope it’s all behind me and that you and I will see many more timely updates in the future. Not that I have anything to complain about really.

I’m also doing what I can to be a bit less of a perfectionist, though you wouldn’t know it from my sloppy paintings it’s a problem that has plagued me from the beginning I suppose. I think even on this painting I agonized over the same square inch of digital canvas for well over an hour just now in an area you will probably never notice. Better to move on to a new painting as I’ll forget what it was that bothered me about this one in a day or two.

I’m headed up with the FuturePoly crew  to Vancouver again on the 30th to demonstrate what little I know as well as absorb as much as possible from the many talented instructors at the CGMovement Anomaly Workshop.

If I wasn’t instructing, I’d be there anyways - you should too.

Check out the instructor list:

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
