Finally got a chance to update

As the title says I finally got a chance to update my portfolio. A lot has changed in the last few months some wanted and some unexpected. Shortly after my last update in January my PC crashed and I lost a lot of things including some digtal pieces that I was working on. I got her going again, but it was short lived as she just couldn't keep up anymore. I've had her for going on ten years, but I always upgraded over the years as I needed, but I decided the time had come to get a new one and sat down with a friend of mine to get a fully customized one to fit my needs that runs better than I ever imagined. Thanks to another friend I was also able to purchase a copy of Photoshop CS5 which has a lot of advancements that I wish I had in college.

Since that time, I've also acquired a new job. It's not art related, but it is one that will let me pay my bills, student loans and it's something that I've really come to enjoy. It may not be art related, but it has helped my artistic skills as a lot of my co-workers are always asking to see my latest pieces and I usually spend my lunch break working on something.

For the portfolio update there is two new pieces and a new section available. The first new piece is the latest watercolor painting that I came up with called Night Elf Assassin. It's a concept that I came up with a while ago and then made some changes then proceeded to paint it. I also tried to document it's progression, so that I could make a watercolor painting tutorial in the future if I get enough time. The second is the first of many, it's a fantasy portrait where I sketch real life people in a setting of their own choosing that they would enjoy. The one I have posted is Fantasy Halo Portrait, the concept around it was a lot of fun to play with because I used Halo as the Fantasy theme of it all, but at the same time I had to come up with a composition that would sum up their relationship as well as the personalities that they have which came out very well.

I've finally got my commissions section up and running as well so now anyone who is interested in a commission piece from me can read up on the details and the price of having it done. Currently I'm working on two commisssions for two people and in talks of a third. Check out Commissions to find out all the details.

In the coming month or two I hope to have at least two, maybe three, more pieces uploaded and I plan on changing up the organization of the pieces as well. Hopefully it will all go well for us all, until then...

Take care,
