Heidamonster's portfolio for review

**heidamonster** · July 11th, 2012, 04:16 PM

Well, here it is something old and something new! I've got an eclectic mix of stuff here. Even if I don't get rave reviews this is totally awesome to be able to get this level of feedback from some industry giants!! Thanks Jason Manley, ConceptArt, and The Art Department!!! My name is Jason Heida. The only thing I know for sure is that I want to make art my real/ full-time job!! If that means gallery work, concept art, illustration work, or whatever. I just want to develop my artistic abilities and be able to apply them to creating new works. I would absolutely LOVE the chance to attend TAD, but read the next post and you'll find out what a tall order that would be. I hope I didn't miss my chance to get in on the critiques! Crossing my fingers!!!

Here's my most recent stuff, then we'll trickle back in time. Sorry for having to put any old work in here, but family demands coupled with a 50 hour work week doesn't leave a lot of time to generate new work. So, here we go!! First, a book cover design for an e-book; commisioned work.

Here's some freelance work I do each year. These are images for dvd covers for kids dance recitals. Theses images are more cartoony in feel to appeal to the kids and their parents. For each of these assignments I'm usually just given the title of the show to work from. Also, since these are dvd covers the left side of the image is actually the back cover. 1. Jungle book and Dare to Dream 2. 365 days of dance 3. Wild about Dance 4. Broadway Bound

(the titles is where I have the most fun) Top Row l-r 1. You Play a Deadly Game 2. The Tree of Good and Evil 3. The Thoughts came like a tidal wave Bottom Row l-r 1. A voice in the back of his head told him he had gone too far 2. Come hell or high water 3. The apparition
2nd Set
Top row l-r 1. The dream burned in the back of his mind 2. Wan Loo's mind unfolded like a thousand lotus petals 3. Her memory continued to haunt him 4. He could deny the truth no longer, this is where he belonged Middle image= He always knew this is where it would end Botton right= Timmy only hoped they could all escape in time

Finally, a smatering of older work including a portrait of my wife and I, a combination drawing/ collage, and some character work.

I cant really comment much since I'm not a professional artist myself, but I just wanted to say I really like your character design with the heart shape logo on his chest. Seems like he'd make an awesome comic book/ video game character.
