Life Painting, CHOW, and Crimson Daggers

Hey everybody! Hope you're doiiin good, I'm all over the place! Finally around civilization and have apparently forgotten what its like to be called to do things haha. But its good, I'm mainly just focused on my work right now and putting Crimson Daggers on hold(again, sorry everyone). Trying not to overwhelm my brain and stay focused on my current goals.

One cool thing is... I've moved to New Bedford, MA for the summer before my move to Seattle and live in a renovated factory. This place has like 11 foot windows and awesome natural light! Got a lot of life drawing done and been painting with natural light quite a bit. Feels so much better to have a new challenge. So many colooorssss.

Whats funny is that for the past like... 2 years I've been saying on my blog that hopefully I'll have time to do x, y, and z. Because of this I've decided to just do everything I want to do all at once and screw everything else. Otherwise things get all messed up and I totally miss out on everything cool. So many ideas I've never finished! No more! Although I bet I'll probably say this in another year or so :(.

Currently working on my Schoolism class as well right now, having a ton of fun! Hope some of you get to check it out when sign up time comes!

Heres some of my recent stuff!

Workin Workin Workin

Hey everybody!

Just wanted to update since its been sooooo long. I'm almost ready to get back into doing my daily Crimson Daggers... Although it may be at a later time(gotta switch things up!). At the moment I'm working on my upcoming Schoolism class and trying to wrap up some other jobs to get back on track. Moved out of the mountains and into New Bedford, MA as well! Not really my kind of city but its only a pit stop really til I take off to Seattle in a month or two. So right now its just a matter of saving money and finishing work.

Once things cool down in a few days everything should be back to normal(or I hope so at least)! So to all my Daggers who were wondering if I died... I haven't! The Crimson Daggers will ride again and very soon. Promise.

I'll try and scan some of the stuff I've been workin on soon as well. Kinda stopped doing the digital studies and have mostly concentrated on my lines for the past few weeks. Really gotta work on liiiinnesss all the time!

Anyways, I'll see you all later!

Imagine FX 58 Workshop!

Hey everybody! Been really busy like I've said in the past updates... Trying to get all my work done so I can move into my new place. Haven't been doing the regular crimson daggers streams as well, hopefully I haven't lost  all my daggers :O. Looking to be done with all my moving stuff around the 6th.

In the meantime though I can at least update about my article!

This months Imagine FX #58 has a workshop by me. Super pumped to check it out, was a goal of mine to get a workshop in there so I can mark that done. Put a lot of work into it in both the article and dvd. Hopefully it helps (although the dvd doesn't have commentary). Also, my hot hot buddy Mike 'Daarken' Lim's got a workshop in there <3.

Hope you get a chance to check it out... and see you in a week or so!

Schoolism Video Available Now!

Hey everybody! Oh God I've been all over the place lately D:! Trying to keep up with everything along with my new puppy has been a real big pain... Can't imagine what its like having a kid! Anyways, got some good stuff to talk about and market to you to try and force you to gimme money.

I've recently completed my Schoolism Video and its just been released!



Important! - Oddly enough the video trailer(awesome as it is) doesn't cover the actual image in the video itself. The image below is what you'll follow along with throughout the 2 hours and 35 minutes. 


Click to Check out the Video!

What the trailer does show is the base character I used to establish the alien race... which is posted below!


Pretty excited to finally have this out and am equally excited to move forward with more awesome stuff from Schoolism! Looking forward to really getting into it full steam!

Got an ImagineFX Workshop comin up in issue 58 too if you're interested! Look out for it!

Apart from that I've been slacking a bit on Crimson Daggers due to my sleep lose via puppy haha. Can't wait til she grows up already! Also I saw 5 bears last night in my backyard, it was wicked awesome! Mom and some babies just out looking for a couple puppies to eat before they head back to the river. Had to chase em up trees with the car. Hopefully they don't come back looking for food anytime soon.

I should be back into the swing of things soon. Certainly looking to update this blog a lot more now that I'm not busy as hell with everything!

Whoa, been gone for a long while D:

Hey everybody! Sorry for my looong absence.  What a crazy month, took on way too much work and somehow managed to get it all done... But doing the Crimson Daggers was good with the tough stuff, everytime I ran into an issue I'd just address it in the next day's study. So at least that worked out well along side my deadlines. I've got a ton of stuff going on now which is great and am hoping to get my store up soon.  Want to start producing content.

Got a couple things to post up for now... Will have a lot more soon with the time I have freed up! Really glad to have all that stress lifted off my shoulders. Only have a couple more things to send out!

Heres some work I've been doin lately! Also a step by step of my Red Panda
