**raminafshari** · May 29th, 2011, 12:37 PM

impressive art works , your last update is awesome .

**Odayga** · May 30th, 2011, 11:03 PM

Really diggin your most recent work. hows that new job treating you!?

**Noah Bradley** · June 11th, 2011, 05:01 PM

I'm giving away free prints! Check it out for more details.

JamesSimons: Thanks! Glad you like it.

Can't wait to get my physical copy of it.

Deadlyhazard: I don't know if it qualifies as a "living," but I do make a decent amount of money from freelancing. And yep, I just graduated. I'm so fortunate in my success thus far... hopefully it keeps up!

raminafshari: Thanks!

Odayga: Thanks, things are going well. I've gotten some new freelance gigs and those are treating me pretty darn well.

Nothing on the full-time front yet, but freelance is definitely picking up.

A few sketches for a private commission:

wow amazing colors and shapes!

the only bad thing about your sketchbook is, that it hasnt 5 stars - what the heck?! i mean the stars are a feature to mark sketchbooks like yours as exeptional!!!
keep it going cant wait to see your next work! (would love to see some just slightley more finished stuff though, like on the last pages!

)

5*

xbert: Thanks man! I'll be posting more finished work when I'm allowed to.

The one problem with professional work is not being able to show it till it's published. I'm trying to devote some time to personal work, though, so that'll be coming as well.

Speaking of which, here are a few personal sketches I whipped up just for fun:

sweet update Noah....keep em coming!

**bish0p2004** · June 22nd, 2011, 12:41 PM

Great landscapes...I really love the simplicity of them. How long do they take you?

**Odayga** · June 23rd, 2011, 05:07 PM

Your environments never cease to amaze me..

**LORD M** · June 24th, 2011, 11:09 PM

Where's the fifth star?

Wow, sick enviros! Big fan of your art, Noah - and your attitude! Thanks for the "Stop whining" thread, it particulary struck me when you had my thread up as an example. Thanks to you and a friend of mine I don't need to post another thread like that again, I never understood the meaning behind "JUST DRAW" untill this moment. So thank you!

**Conniekat8** · June 25th, 2011, 01:26 AM

Wonderful stuff. I particularly like your navy looking ships on the previous thread page. Very cool.

**Nuked Tofu** · July 10th, 2011, 11:08 PM

Your stuff is delicious! Just finished watching your landscape tutorial and am inspired to work harder. Definitely gonna keep an eye on this thread

**Noah Bradley** · July 13th, 2011, 11:58 AM

Delmar: Thanks! Will do.

bish0p2004: Depends. The sketches take me around 30~ minutes each. The finished pieces range from 5-10 hours, probably.

Odayga: Thanks.

LORD M: lol, my fifth star comes and goes.

Glad you appreciated the thread! I hope I didn't call you out too directly--I skimmed down the forums looking for questions that bothered me. Guess you were just unlucky.

Thanks for the kind words.

Conniekat8: Thanks! Appreciate it.

Nuked Tofu: Thanks for watching! I'm meaning to do more videos in the near future, so look out for those.

Here are a few sketches I did for a D&D piece. You can see the final piece on my blog.

damnn, gorgeous colour scheme in that one

i love the sunset atmosphere, you've captured it perfect.
Thanks for all the articles on your blog too btw, always look forward to seeing your updates. (:

**Choob** · August 5th, 2011, 12:57 PM

Great work man, your environments have great atmosphere to them, and I'm loving your blog. And free prints? FREE? I'm in. Keep it up!

**Noah Bradley** · August 8th, 2011, 04:09 PM

Jessibelle: Thanks!

Glad to hear somebody's reading all of those articles. It's a bit of a change of pace to write rather than just paint. But it's good to mix it up a bit.

Droid: Thanks! And yeah, I love giving away prints.

More sketches for an L5R stronghold. You can see the final image here.

Your environments are so amazing! That youtube tutorial you did legitimately changed my life and finally got me started on working on environments. I just love your approach!

looking forward to see more.

**lennon** · August 31st, 2011, 10:05 AM

Great as always

**boj** · August 31st, 2011, 10:14 AM

**Noah Bradley** · September 7th, 2011, 12:53 AM

v-lkry: Thanks! So glad you got so much out of that video. I spent a long time making it so hearing that people really appreciate it warms my heart.

Hoping to do more videos soon. I do regular livestreams for now, though. You can follow my facebook/twitter if you want to find out when.

lennon, boj: Thanks y'all!

Did a livestream tonight and cranked out 4 new sketches:
