Live Stream Mondays are Back!

Hey everybody! Getting back into the swing of things now :)! Started on my first download tonight on the LiveStream. I was hoping to have it listed for $1 but am slowly finding out how much it actually costs to host videos/use the pay services for downloads. I'm trying to figure out how to use Paypal to possibly host it(not sure how everybody else uses that service?). Of course I'm very new to all this so I have no idea what I'm talking about haha.

If any of you have ideas please email me - rapozaster@gmail.com

I'd love to get some super cheap stuff out in HD but am having a lot of trouble figuring out how to do it.

Anyways, I'll be updating more often with good questions I encounter while on the LiveStreams and will do some long answers! I'll also be posting up a pretty lengthy interview I did for a blog in the next couple days. In the meantime though... Check out this cropped preview of the goofy character I worked on tonight(half in LiveStream and half on my own recording in HD).

I've been asking around about the downloads and hopefully soon I'll hear something back. I'd love to get this stuff out there as soon as possible. Gonna wrap up this guy in the next couple days and am hoping to be able to deliver on the video.

If all else fails I'll just have to try another avenue or maybe somebody can help me figure out how to setup a shop haha. Wish I wasn't such a novice at all this technical stuff :(.




So yea...

Live Stream Mondays are back! Every Monday @6pm EST!

Metal! Blind Guardian - "Valhalla"

Artist Sketchbook iPhone App Preview!

Hey everybody! Droppin in again after some crazy deadline action :O. Life has been very very hectic for me the past few weeks. I know I say something like this almost everytime I update... But this was especially hectic. Got 10 illustrations to finish! Gotta push harder than ever! Still keeping up with the studies though. Also, jumped on a new diet without any carbs from bread and generally limiting carbs to 125 grams a day. I have to say... I feel about 200% better now that I'm on this diet. Never did I realize that carbs just totally make me feel like crap. Feeling really awake, aware and excited again.

Other than that I got some good stuff comin(I hope its good :O)! Bobby Chiu asked me to do an iPhone app with him and soon it'll be released for purchase on the iphone app store. I'll be part of his Artist Sketchbook series! It was really to go back and collect personal works(a lot of which I finished specifically for the app) and create new illustrations exclusive to it. Below are a couple preview images! I'll update again when it becomes available :D. Then you can help support this David in need.

So heres the cover and a couple pages! -







I'll be posting regularly again soon! Finally getting through the rough patch!

Metal! Fearless Four - 'Just Rock' D:

Crimson Daggers

Hey dudes! Don't got any new art to post sadly... But I got a good amount on the way that I'll be able to show. Just waiting for it to get published. Other than that I'm workin a ton this month and got some pretty tight deadlines. So aside from the LiveStreams I don't know what I'll be able to put out.

That being said, I plan on taking the LiveStream sessions to the next level! Starting within the next couple days I'll be doing hour long morning anatomy studies on LiveStream! Together we'll all take on Loomis and as we progress through the streams we'll move onto painting from life, perspective studies and all sorts of good stuff. They will most likely be at 9-9:30 am EST and run til 10-10:30 am EST. Hopefully I can get a good amount of you to really get into studying everyday so we can all move forward!

If you want to join, and be serious about it... You can drop me an email - rapozaster@gmail.com and I'll add you to my mailing list! Let you know the times and hopefully in the future move onto assignments we can all complete. Anyways, I really look forward to getting this all started!



This pumped group will be called the CRIMSON DAGGERS. You better be ready to soak the competition in blood, to conquer lazy thinking and procrastination! Be ready to take hold of everything it is that you want out of your work and scream to the god of the Crimson Daggers that you crave Crimson blood, sweat and power!! D:

its gonna be awesome!

Look forward to seeing you all there!

Metal! Flames - 'Made in Hell'

New Video Process!

Stayed up a little later so that I could do something for myself. I have a lot of work left to do this week... A LOT! But I'll be able to get it all done easy enough. Gets rough though when my mind tries to tell me theres no time haha. I keep having to go through the steps of each piece in my head so that I don't go crazy thinking of them all at once! Wont take as long as usual at least now that I'm hangin up here by myself. I've been eatin bad and missin all physical activities hahaha, not good for the mind or body! I'm hoping that I'll be able to sleep 6 hours and have a really productive day tomorrow. Just gonna have to wait and see! Right about now I'm ready for bed though!

So heres a video process I made for a speed paint I did tonight. Took around 2 hours and came together pretty quick. Added a Tiffany cover because it made me laugh and think of the image. When I saw it in my mind it was super polished and awesome... Maybe in a couple weeks when I'm no longer in debt I'll be able to make more polished images!





Heres some metal since I didn't add any to the video! Always thought Ozzy said "blood will flow like wine tonight" not "love will flow"... I would've made it blood.
