ezekrialase - Thanks dude! will do

Rat photo study. I really want to do a fantasy rat illustration for my portfolio. With other work currently on my plate, this post will hopefully serve as a reminder to myself.

Really fantastic work. How long have you been drawing and studying seriously? Have you attended school for art and what do you plan on doing with your craft?

[arghmisfit]

Mannyhaatz - Thanks! I started studying art seriously when I joined CA.org about 9 years ago. I had a wrist/arm problem that slowed me down for a few years. I went to Sheridan College to study Illustration. After college I worked at an Indie-game studio for a little while. Currently I'm working freelance on card games and RPG books as well as some storyboards for Canadian commercials. In the near future I hope to broaden my client list, hopefully get some work with Wizards of The Coast, possibly do some artwork for the film industry, and work on personal projects. Right now I just want to keep working and do studies to push to the next level.

Bird photo study and a Swamp painting from imagination.
