Well it been a few since I posted anything up. It's not that I have not done anything it's just a lot of it it has been stuff on commission or physical objects that I have built in the last year.  Also just been busy with life in general, going back to school, looking for a job in the current market. I got a small part time job to help pay bill, hopefully that will lower the stress I have about trying to keep a roof on my head and I can make some art work that is mine to show, or at least have permission to show.

I want to take a moment to give a huge shout out to all of the Deviant Artist's that have stock art for others to use.  All of you out there I thank you.  I know a lot of you do it for fun, some do it for modeling practice, other do it to aid other artist.  Either way you help make Deviant Art a rich environment for artist to show their talents and even improve their craft. For college students, class, books, rent, gas, and food take what little money they have for studies.  To shell out 20 bucks for a CD with sub par stock art, with traditional poses, is costly.  Other website charge 99 cents for a download, I even found one website as high as $1.99, for crap quality stock art.  Now if your going to use a stock art for professional use then I understanding paying the artist that provided the stock art to use there work.  Oh ever if your using as practice to improve skills with it can get expensive.   This is where my hero0s, those who have stock art accounts come in.  They save me tons of money as well help with improving my skill and for what price, a thanks and credit.  Often time they will even let you use for professional use as long as you give them a notice and credit with no cost or at least for a fair price.

So from one artist to another I thank for your hard work, and I wish happy holidays.

Well back in school and working my ass off.   Which I forgot how much I actually liked school.  Well posting a few things that I have been playing with.  So check out the gallery.  

I do use other people stock art from members of Deviant Art and if you see that I have used your image and failed to link you please send me a message and I will correct the mistake. It should not be a problem since I tend to keep notes on who I used images from, but I was dropped on my head repeatedly at birth  I can miss a few things.

Well it been forever since I added anything to DevantART.  Got lost in work for the last few years and was slow on getting any of my 3D models or Photoshop art posted.  However my old computer went crap tastic on me and I lost my whole portfolio that I have been working on.  So....  I have to start all over, and now with my new computer running up to part I should be able scan in some of hand drawl stuff and get some new stuff done.   Plus I going back to school to  here soon so I should have tons of scraps to post and finished projects.  Got laid off at my job because of a lack of work and anything else in my industry wont hire because I don't have a degree.   

I just got my hands on Photoshop CS4 which is a little new but not to hard to figure out, I been working with Photoshop 7 forever.  However, some effects are simple to do now and my action scripts I made years ago for it are worthless now, but oh well.

I also got a Maya 2009 which is big difference from what I was working with few years back. However it like riding a bike you really never forget how to do it.  So I should have some new stuff up.  I have a few prop items that I am working on just to get my feel for the new program.
