Alrighty... just to let you guys know, I'm going to be in the FanExpo artist alley this August. will be bringing a lot more new prints and this time more poster sizes. I'll still have the bookmarks available as well. I may be giving out free caricatures again so come by my table and get one done on the spot.

and Hey.. feel free to leave a message if you are coming.

if there's a particular image you would like a poster size of, let me know too and I'll see if i can arrange it.

I'll be sharing table with a very talented artist :icon2beats: , and excited to see some of you there.. !

Hey.. glad to hear it..

regarding tutorials. well... i think for PS paintings, video tutorials with voice over are generally more useful. and the good tutorials on these subjects usually isn't free. i've went through a lot of tutuorials and some i still go back to, and gnomon still have what i consider the best tutorials out there. because it's real top industry artists showing you their pipeline and techniques, if all else fails you still gain something from watching. for starters i'd recommend Feng Zhu's concept art series, neat concept art tutorial on sketching and coloring in photoshop, but a lot of it is still basic paper sketching if you are interested in that. um. i can't think of one that's heavier on photoshop basics, i think fengzhu covers a bit of that. not sure if you want to go into matte painting, they have tutorials from Dusso and Dylan Cole, interesting stuff.. harder to learn from.

go forth and run a research on it. lol. i hope this helps a bit

nah.. any 18 year old kid with million page views are either without legs (appeal to sympathy) or an obsessive anime artist.

Why do you not have a million page views? Your work is fantastic!

They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it's worked for over 200 years and we're not using it anymore.

I found your gallery while doing a random word search (rust) and wow I love your work. Some of your stuff really reminds me of Frank Frazetta who is a personal favorite of mine.

good to know. i have looked at imagine fx's stuff in the past on coloring theory and stuff but i never seem to get quite what i am looking for. it's a matter of perseverence... and maybe a class on how to use all of photoshop, but seeing work like your's just makes me want to try and kick mine up more levels...

so keep it up definitely.

beautiful gallery ^_^
*frankhong:iconfrankhong: Jul 2, 2008, 12:48:54 PM
i traded my soul for a good solid Photoshop, and my intuos tablet.. quite standard i'd say. i use a bit of custom brushes some times. photoshop really got the power to offer a lot and so far i've seen not much reasons to wander off for other programs. lol
~Geebitz:iconGeebitz: Jul 2, 2008, 12:46:54 PM
Just wanted to say your gallery is absolutely beautiful, and it very much inspires me. Keep up the amazing work!
*frankhong:iconfrankhong: Jul 2, 2008, 12:45:42 PM
