Hey folks! In keeping with the tradition of my horrendously infrequent journal entries, I wanted to say hello and thanks to all my new watchers! I've noticed a pretty big jump in traffic here since I posted Azure and want you all to know I really appreciate all the comments and support! I know I've been a bit quiet on here but I've started working for a new client and will have some really cool work to show when they release it, so keep an eye out. 
In the meantime though, I was struck with an idea today and wanted to run it by you guys. I'm thinking of starting a weekly (video?) tutorial series. it's something I've missed doing over the past couple years in the flurry of maintaining a freelance career, but it's something I've always wanted to do. So if that's something you guys would be interested in let me know, and feel free to leave suggestions for topics or things you would like to see covered! I'm gonna do some scheming and see where this road leads.

I'm going on an adventure!
Well it's been a wild 5 years, but my days of freelancing are drawing to a close. Next week I'll be headed down to Atlanta to join the talented folks over at Hi-Rez and work on Smite full-time! :D
I'm super excited and grateful for the opportunity, I couldn't ask for a better group of people to work with and working in-house has been at the top of my bucket list for years.

Art Tip: Managing Focus
People don't listen to classical music as much as they used to. Many would define it as slow or boring, and in comparison with the fast paced, drum driven, digital glitching music of today they're not wrong to feel it that way.
This is true in every form of media. Why play a board game when you can play a video game with exciting graphics and sound? Why watch a stage play when you can watch a movie with impossible action and breathtaking visuals? Why read an article when you can watch a YouTube vlog with jump cuts mid-sentence ensuring none of your precious time is wasted?
This is the evolution of media and technology and it's not inherentl
Video tutorial - pick a character!
Howdy folks! Just a heads up that I'm almost ready to begin production on my epic start-to-finish illustration tutorial, and the ever-wondrous PTimm (https://www.deviantart.com/ptimm) designed a fantastic character for it!! Let me know which one is your favorite and I'll tally the votes for the final decision. Gonna be a lot of fun things to paint. :D
Video tutorials! What do you need help with?
Art peeps, I need your input! I'm going to be starting production on an über illustration tutorial showing my process in detail from start to finish! It'll be a series of videos including real-time drawing demos, time-lapsed examples, and little theory snippets. It'll also be completely free to watch.
SO... what are some things you have trouble with and would like to see demonstrated? I'll do my best to cover as many of your specific topics as possible. And don't worry, hands, shading, and hair are already on the list. :D

yes please you were the one who started me on my journey. I remember your digital painting tutorial it was the first time i actually attempted to do artwork... and it kinda flourished into an odd mix of everything later.
