Still Alive

2 min read
Im still here living in the internet world, doing internet stuff, working at an internet job (no not really).
I haven't been able to do any digital artwork for some time now since my laptop, my main source for artwork, died several months back and I have yet to fix it. Which i believe is why i have been diverting my attention to playing video games and watching twitch streams instead. Not sure if that is a good thing or not but considering the lack of funds to purchase a decent rig to do graphic work I am kind of stuck, and I really hate it.
I have noticed every once in a while I come visit deviantART and post something not very interesting just to put something in writing on my profile so everyone can see how uninteresting I have become. Ah well... :) somebody whip me into submission so I will get my butt off of games and get my laptop fixed..or do something so i can get photoshop and illustrator to work on this stinking windows xp lol.
that is all.

What to draw?

1 min read
Thinking about doing some artwork this weekend but not exactly sure what I want to draw yet. Due to lack of comments and feedback I figure maybe I need to put some more WOW factor into my front page and get some serious work done and displayed. But, the question is; what do I draw up? hmmm...

If your reading this then I have grabbed your attention.
I have an open source role playing website I am working on and am in need of artwork for the site. I could try going to other sites to get what I need but being an artist and a Deviant Art member I came here first because I have seen the talent and the need for those who want or need to get the word out about them via their examples of work. So, I am posting this because I need help AND your work.
Here is what I am looking for;
It is the current time (our world) and the world is a cross between post-holicost technology and Magic. The world has been torn apart by magical energy due to several wars that took place, and this energy in the current time is being used like we use electricity. It powers everything from vehicles to technology. This means that magic is the bases of this world. Think of it like a cross between cyberpunk, and steampunk with a post-holicost atmosphere. Simply put, its high tech meets mythical torn apart by world war.

artwork needs;
1) Wallpapers; Cities, Landscapes
2) character art: races (both male AND female in the same pic); human, elf, giant, gnome, dwarf, dragon, werewolf, werecat, lizardman, and vampire. The descriptions of the races are located on the website.
classes; Fighter, Rogue, priest, mage/wizard (are the base)
3) weapons; firearms, melee, grenades (high tech, magic based)
4) vehicles; land, sea, and air (high tech, magic based)

If your interested you can post a link to the artwork you would like me to use or the artwork it's self here. If I use your artwork, I will post a link to your profile page and credit the item to you on my website. I have the website setup so that pictures uploaded will display on the front page so it will give added exposure. I am looking for particular themes that stick as close to the description I gave above as possible.
If this project goes as well as I hope there should be a lot of traffic when it's done. Also, If you do visit the website just be forewarned that I have not created the 'theme' for it yet so its in its base graphic form.  

There is so much artwork that I need I cant do it alone, and yes I am doing this project alone :( if your interested in helping beyond artwork feel free to contact me. There are other things I need to get done on the website.

website link; rpg.ambrotos.net

If you have any questions feel free to leave them and I will answer them as quickly as I can.
I hope this information is not in vain. Please help me spread the word :)

Good vs Average

I keep looking at my avatar and loving how well I spent 8 hours making it. then sit there and wonder; "why the heck have I NOT done anything else like this?"
Do you ever find yourself wondering something like it with your own works of art?
Sometimes I will sit and look over everything I have done and feel like I am meditating on my own skills. There will be moments where images come to mind of things I could do to improve a piece or two, and then sit back and wonder to myself "you know, if I can do this well on one piece why not go back to the other pieces and maybe redo them" or "hey! I could draw up these characters again except add to it with color editing!"
I guess my point is this; I have one piece of art I am exceptionally proud of (my avatar) so why not do more like it? because, I have found myself sitting here wanting.

Ever feel this way?

Slacking!

Man I hate slacking on stuff but lately I have been consumed by a video game and haven't been keeping up on my drawing a day :( I also think it has something to do with starting a new job during the week and its not leaving much time to get any drawing done. guess that's where dedication comes in right?
