dont ever stop.. im addicted

[jdinx]

Riddick- they were for a possible star warz game(never went thru). and thank you.

Obilo- i guess the answer would have been nope, but thanks for asking.

bwkeough-thanks man.

nicolas- thank you.

steak-tron- thank you. as for the c.s.lewis comp, on that one i worked over a 3D stub that gave me a rough set-up for the basic perspective problems. it was the first time that i've ever tried something like that. sometimes it's a very cool way to work. thanks for all the luvin kudos'.

chain&jane- gracias.

Icey-doing environment concepts is fave of mine...thanks.

Faaaccceee!!!!!- i can't find that image anywhere in my files sorry man. hope all is well with you. did you ever land job?

Ved- the way i work back & fourth between the 2 programs is never the same. i just go with a feeling for something and i just know when i need to throw it into the other program or not. sometimes i will stay with painter 6 or photoshop CS all the way thru an image. although in the last year or so i've been using allot more PS than painter. so doing a tutorial would be tricky for me, because there are so many different ways that i work on an image. wildcats was a fun run. glad you liked it.

Undertow- yeah it's been a few months at least. i just got way busy with all aspects. thanks, i appreciate your comments.

Danilo- thank you.

elihanselman- i appreciate it.

Arctis- thanks. the large space on the left was for the copy. it was designed for a wrap around box cover.

Riddick- thanks again man.

MekillYouNow- thanks.

chain&jane- thank you again too.

Gezstar- thanks man. i dig you recent posts.

Nineveh- glad you liked the fishtank. tank you.

Oregano- you are welcome. glad you liked it.

FlameWar- gracias sir.

MoP- thanks the compliments. AHAHAHA! how in the world did you figure that one out!? i can't even read it now. did sweet tell you? it's an inside joke a few of us have from the old black isle days.

el norteno-thanks. no he came to the laguna art school one weekend, but i have friends who went there (AC) tell me the same thing. he was a great model indeed.

kalakal- thanks man.

[jdinx]

it’s be way to long since my last post, so I thought I’d make it worth while…with a link to my new website. still may have a bug or 2 in it, but for the most part it’s fin-ee. a couple months back I decided to go freelance after many years of working for da man. so far so good 

You worked on the Mark of Kri? Nice.

Fun stuff on your site.


Do you know the name of the artist that did the Drawing in the game booklet?

-Joshua

[jdinx]

thanks joshua.

i worked on the rise of the kasai, kri was already done when i started on at bottle rocket. i think the artwork you're referring to was done by a guy named jeff merghart. he works down at sony interactive in sd. ( i think). i worked with his brother steve at BR on the kasai.

[loomer]

whoa- I'm really blown away by the quality (and quantity) of work here. You seem to be able to it all.. (i'd love to see some oils! )

I would write more but I'm so inspired I'm gonna go back to my easel and paint (where I should be). Thanks so much for posting this..I'll be bookmarking that website and visiting often. Cheers

[dragging pencil]

WOWWW.... I'm in awe...
i'm going to look through these all over again

[THUNDERCOCK]

damned duuuuuude...stop hoggin all the phucken skills and leave some for the rest of us up-comers....ha ha just playin....but seriously. your work is OUT OF CONTROL. keep it coming ...it's inspiration to us all

"Cause I don't give a f*ck I take traveler's checks!"

[Danomight]

you have a great imagination. the pen and ink comic pages, and some of the graphite stuff above it on the first page, really remind me of n8 van dyke's stuff. I think you guys just have similar characters, similar textures and use of line. I really enjoy the diversity of your styles when you change media. crazy stuff.

[Skurai]

*drools*
This thread Is awesome!
You are awesome!

I swear this has already been asked but, have you ever thought about making an artistic process?

Anyways, just keep on posting *thumbs up*

[the_allejo05]

awesome stuff..i like your life drawings the best..especilly the old fellah samurai ..great character on him..

[Earthtone]

Awesome work I must say. truely you are inspiration to those of us that need to work more. One of the main things that I've taken from you work is to be great one truely must do alot of work. Practice and grow. Just based off the work you loaded on the site is alot! But when you one thinks about it, it probably really isnt even a fraction of all the work you've done. Good Job!
