Dang, looks like you've started the whole alternate dimension series. Lookin great so far!
-
Yeah, although I still prefer Farlow...but that's probably more of an issue of preference...and a love of sexy girls.
Regardless, I wouldn't have that kinda money in the first place. Oh wellz...one can only dream. =p -
About an hour...I tried to rush it as fast as I could so I would make it in time (which I did...technically 10pm over there). =p

Happy BDay Jutey!
-
Hahaha! You guys are silly!
But yeah, after researching, found out it was Gill, whose work is definitely awesome! -
Jomaro Kindred?
Hmm...lemme google that. -
Personally, having "alot" of art is really pointless if they are of low quality. With art, quality is much more important than quantity. Given the choice, I'd take 1 Farlow over 20 JTran's anyday...*chuckle*
-
As for Derek's original question...it'll REALLY depend. Art IS subjective afterall...so, if people like your work, they'll comission you. There's no "bar" that you have to pass by...although that shouldn't stop you from trying to get as high as possible.
I'm just throwing out names here...but take Armano for example. He's the artist for Squaresoft...some of us (myself included) absolutely hate his work, but he still has quite a large following of fans who absolutely loves his work. It really DOES boil down to individual people's preferences. -
Yes, some artists WILL pay to have their stuff inked and/or colored.
Take comic book companies for example, they actually divide the process into 3 steps: artist, inker, and colorist. The same is true with some good pencil artist who cannot or simply doesn't like the final steps.
It also lets the artist focus on his strengths and frees up time. -
Oooh, that's awesome! Totally dig the pose of the group...although the nipples are a bit...umm..."distracting". :-p
-
Gimp is confusing as heck. I would HIGHLY recommend not using it. If you're going for free stuff, I'd get Open Canvas along with Inkscape. I haven't actually used Inkscape yet but I've heard alot of good things about it. OpenCanvas is awesome, hands down.
-
Ooohh...that's SOOO awesome!
*looks at his current Wicked Angel piece...*
Man...talk about really putting the standard up high. Shoo! -
You should make a more detailed inking to show more definition (it helps ALOT in the final image)...
(I'd offer to do it but I'm currently swamped) -

Dang. What medium is that done in??

That's digital. Most likely Photoshop (especially for the lighting). The colors could be Photoshop or a mixture of it with Illustrator. -
I think you're getting too frustrated trying to do something you're not comfortable with. The key to art is finding yourself a "niche". Let's say, each artist has a certain style and a range of techniques that they use...all you really need to do is find that certain style that "works" for you.
And, if you want some encouragement. Read http://www.machall.com and look at his 1st pages and then compare it to his current ones...and let's not even go into talking about how he's currently working for Three Rings (a video game company). So yeah, don't lose hope! -
Oh that's awesomely funny!!! =)
Love the expressions! -
Rattles, Ornaments, Statues, Toys, Picture Frames, Lamps...and, umm...that's all I can think up now.
-
Well, I don't really like to think of it as dealing with the "company" but rather just a couple of individuals in the branch that handles customer service. I mean, deep down, NO COMPANY really cares about its customers as long as their numbers go up.
I'd STILL suggest getting a WACOM though...just simply for quality over all. I mean, you're only gonna have to talk to the reps once every blue moon...however, a good tablet will last you a VERY long time through ALOT of uses and wear & tear.
(and I don't work for WACOM either...just a happy customer who's always had good experiences with the company). :-P -
Stop for the ladies??? =p
-
I think that's just a coincidence. WACOM tablets are ~usually if not almost always in excellent condition and can take QUITE a beating...I've had mines for probably 3 years now and still works like new. Maybe give them one more chance?
-
Or better yet, order directly from WACOM. I think they charge about $10 for shipping though.

Thanks man! Glad you liked it!

One method is to create a normal drawing with color, then shrink it down significantly.
Another option is to create a...umm...20x20 pixel image (or somewhere around that size) and draw in the individual pixels.
