To compete or not to compete...

his time around I got a special upload, one of my best friends told me about a contest that talenthouse.com was having for the movie King Athur:Legend of the Sword. The contest was to create artwork inspired by the movie and they would select ten winners out of all of the submissions to help create some PR for the movie and give some artists a chance to get their works seen as well.

Here's what I came up with:

The concept for this is one that I've had for a while now, but kept waiting until a friend of mine told me about the contest and I knew this would be the perfect context for the concept I had in mind. Original looks a lot better in real life than what I have displayed, mostly because I rarely use a full black canvas which makes it more difficult for me to set the levels so it looks like the original. Still came out very nice considering everything. Won't find out until next month who the winners are, but I had fun doing it and that's always a win.

No previews to show at this time, but I am working on a couple of concepts that I made years ago. Five years I ago I redesigned the Ninja Turtles in my own way, but never finalized the concepts I had, mostly because I couldn't decide how I wanted to color them. After some experimentation I did finally find a way to color them the way that I think fits their designs. I also finished a commission last month that is one of my best works yet, but I can't show it or give any details on it until the person I gave it to gives to the person they had it made for. Hopefully soon, because I'm eager to share it with the world.

Thanks for viewing,
