first of many

so this is it! a new chapter has started in my life. even though it still feels like this is just a vacation and that in a week or so ill be going back to work, ive already got the ball rolling on my efforts to nail out a respectable portfolio.

got myself all situated at home in my dads old office. converted it into a studio for me to work in, and i couldnt be cozier! feels great workin here.

i've also got my next couple months planned out, but im sure ill change somethings as i go. point is, im keepin myself busy. the worst thing that could happen in a situation like the one im in, is losing ones self discipline. and if any of you know me well enough; once i start something that ive got my sights on, i dont stop till ive crossed that finish line.

anyways, i couldnt be happier. theres more to come!

heres a piece that im messin around on right now.

gone dun it!

So, guess what?

I quit my job.

Ive decided to take a year off andhammer out some portfolio stuff till its in decent enough shape to land me some solid freelance or a stellar gig in the gaming industry.

thats it. thats what im doing.

if you ask me how i feel, id say scared, but fuckin stoked! and i also feel pretty damn happy!

anyways ill keep the paintings comin, time to raise my game brah.

this is all... for now.

again, most of these are unfinished simply because i run out of time or gas on these. been getting a lot of comments lately on how my stuff " isnt finished" and my answer is " it never was supposed to be" because they're studies.

If you scroll back a few pages to say this time last year, youll see that my photoshop skills arnt anything to write home about.... i am still learning... so thats why i dont try to jump for the goal for every sketch. i find once ive reached a point in the sketch that satisfies my internal artistic objective, i find it pointless to finish the sketch. Now if its a good sketch ill finish it of course, but most of them are out to simply find a better understanding of something rather than paint up a finish polished piece. that make sense?

anyways, heres some sketches!
