Speedpaint A Day

Journal Entry: Sun May 11, 2008, 9:13 AM
  • Mood: I Have To Pee
  • Listening to: NIN
  • Reading: Song Mistress/Black Company
  • Watching: Battlestar Gallactica
  • Playing: WoW
I've been feeling like my atmosphere/contrast/ability to rough ideas out skills are lacking, so in order to compensate I have decided to do a speedpaint a day for the rest of the summer. I'll be posting them on my blog: [link]

The goal is that while I will start by using references, later I will hopefully progress and by the end of the summer be able to do them out of my head for the most part.




........


I'm thinking of trying to take on two or three more commissions for the summer if anyone is interested. I'm moving to a different city over the summer to live with my boyfriend, and for some reason I am worried about getting a job. Anyway, if you're interested here's pricing: [link] and just shoot me an e-mail or note if you're interested.


....................
I wanted to repost that the lovely :iconsongmistress: has had her book published and you can purchase it here: [link]
I just finished it and I enjoyed it quite a bit =)
You can see the cover in my gallery -->[link]

Commissions:
:iconlenoki: -final painting started! (Completion date set for mid May)

haha yeah. Graduated in 2003 in Drawing and Painting. That painting of Dr. Reiff that's downstairs in the lobby of the RAC was one of my Thesis show paintings.

Oh my, I had no idea you went to Fredonia! I'll be sure to say hi to all three for you. Alberto is still wreaking hell....lol. Last years seniors painting class had some really great work, I guess we'll see how this years turns out.

My pleasure...I'm just happy to see some good work coming out of there. It's been a while since I visited, and unfortunately still will be. So if you see Alberto, Bob Booth, and Dawn tell them I said hello.

Thank you so much for the favorite! I honestly got a flutter in my stomach. Maybe it isn't a big a deal as I'm making it out to be, but it feels like an honor coming from you. Your stuff is lovely, an inspiration
