It was a real pleassure
thats waaay too much detail for me to stomach right now. Need sleep.
Great job here, hands like these are one of the hardest things to pull off, especially since it's not your typical hand, so reference materials are pretty difficult to dig up. So you got my respect there, but I really must comment on the coloring here... I mean, the hands look awesome, but your coloring is what really captivates me. It's rather unique in the sense that it looks almost like it was created through traditional means, but is in fact, not. I might have asked you how you pulled the technique off, but I have no experience or access to a program that will allow me to create digital artwork. Yup, good ol’ pencils for this guy...
I also have a question that is rather off topic... but is this your first online gallery? I'm just curious as to how someone so talented as you managed to glide so far under the radar. Man, I'm tellin' ya, one day you're going to get hit, big time, with hundreds of watchers and comments, and pretty soon, things are going to become rather unmanageable for you here... I've seen it happen time and again. It's both the gift and curse of raw talent--recognition. Good luck to ya sir, I'll be along for the ride.
To answer your question,..yeah,..I'm embarrased to say that this is indeed my first online gallery... I've worked in the computer game industry for over 12 years,..and since I finally cashed in and retired, this is the first time I've had the chance to pursue my passions and my art,..and of course to share it with others... I'll try to keep up with the comments as long as I can,..but I certainly see what you mean as far as the unexpected attention from people... To be honest,..I wasn't sure WHAT to expect.... We'll see how well I do...
Thanks for the interest, my friend!
Anyways, I had to read over all that a few times to get an idea of what you were talking about. I'm sorry man, but that's all very much outta my league, and I'm afraid your speaking on deaf ears.
That's a shame man that it took you so long to get an online gallery going. Notoriety is certainly your friend when it comes to promoting things like the games you've created. And I'm also a bit disheartened to hear that you professional career as an artist has impeded some of your personal goals. Honestly, that's the big debate with me, on whether or not I want to do anything with my artwork business wise. I dunno, I think I'm content enough with just doing it on a personal level. Kinda off topic, but what were some of the games you participated in?
As for the popularity issue, I hope you can keep up with these comments, but you should be careful about replying in excessive length... that'll kinda trap you into a conversation... and when you have about ten of these conversations going on... you can find yourself over your head really easily... Trust me on this one, I do it all the time.
When I was in the computer gaming industry, I was the Art Director for Ultima 9; Ascension,..I did art for Ultima Online, I was the Co Art Director on UO; Third Dawn, and I did some early concept work and art for several games that never saw the light of day. Most recently I was a conceptual artist for Tabula Rasa being done by NCsoft. During my entire career I worked with Richard Garriott on many of his later titles, both at Origin System, as well as NCsoft later...
I enjoyed my time in that industry,..but I'm VERY glad now that I get to do my own thing...
