Self Censorship and Feeling Judged.Im sharing this around because its something I feel extremely strong about. I wont sit idly by and let good artists be strongarmed into feeling jugded, second guessing and self censoring (removing from portfolio) their own work.If you feel that way, my message to you is this:Fellow artists,I received some really troubling PM's today. Please don't feel you need to self-censor your work if you enjoy making pinups / sexy girls. Don't remove it from your folios, and never, ever, second guess what you enjoy spending your free time making. Especially don't feel judged because you appear to not be a champion of a cause of any kind. Regardless of how prominant of an artist you are, or where you work in our industry, your free time, is YOURS. Feel free to express who you are, NOT who other people think you should be.Your eternal friend,Hazardous.
Tapastic PPP for Comic Artists!Hey guys! It was great meeting everyone in San Francisco last weekend!In other news, there's a great new program for comic artists that I would like to share. It's part of Tapastic's Primetime Publishing Program (PPP) that pays comic artists based on the amount of page views they generate. If you are a comic artist, then you can make some extra money doing what you love. If you're not a comic artist, you can still check out all the cool webcomics on Tapastic.com and help support the artists that way Take care!

What would you like to know about storytelling?Greetings!I was just inspired by the wonderful Esha, a fantastic merchant from RuntimeDNA, to ask you folks over here a question.I'm currently rendering out presentation frames for my online seminar, "Telling Stories with Poser", that I'll be giving on Sunday, March 24th, as part of this weekend's Poser Expo: Runtime Live event. So far I've got a ton of notes and a lot of information covered, but it occurs to me that there's still a chance that I'm not answering the questions that -you- want asked. So, what would -you- like to know about stroytelling with Poser? Lighting? Camera angles? Composition? Backgrounds? Where to start?? This is one presentation that could -definitely- go on for multiple slots, there's so much information to cover, but it doesn't mean anything if the important things y'all need to know -aren't- a
Sharing this because people need to know.http://cryptcrawler.deviantart.com/art/CA-Org-TAD-Are-Stealing-Artist-Royalties-357909498Disgusting behavior by a business that should know better.Clients ripping of artists is bad enough, but artists ripping off artists is rock bottom, unforgiveable.
World's first 3D drawing pen!I came across this http://www.the3doodler.com/ in an architecture forum originally (because of my work) It'd be interesting to see the possibilities with this nifty tool… Imagine literally doodling out a sculpture anytime, anywhere! Or in the case of architects and designers, draw out a basic 3D model of your building or object and present it to the client without spending hours and thousands of $$$$ on 3D modeling services!Just wondering what everyone else thinks – is it revolutionary or a gimmick?

Competition for Journal Skin Experts!So, I was thinking of arranging a little competition for those interested! Particularly those who are good at making Journal Skins -I'm looking for an original journal skin I could use on my profile reflecting the fanfiction that I write (mainly mass effect with a Kaidan/romance). As a prize for the winner I would be willing to give:* 1 year deviant membership* Credit on the skin every time I use it (Which is fairly regularly)* Priority on any other future commissions for skins from me* Two runners-up will recieve 200 points eachIf you are interested and want to give it a bash then simply create your skin and send me a link - I will then keep them in a nice little favourites folder until the end of the competition where I will enlist the help of three independent judges to help me choose a winner!So details, details...Well, the skin has to be Mass Effect themed (for those of you unfamiliar it is an Xbox360 game for which I w

Lots of Brief (haha, brief) UpdatesSorry so many journals lately, I guess there's a lot going on?! Update on the stolen stock stuff: most of that artist's work has been taken offline but there has been no contact with the stock providers and they will keeping an eye out for it to pop up again. I posted an update on the original journal, too.Thank you for your polled feedback on the next advance download stock pack for SenshiStock.com. The Walk/Run Pack is now available for $3 advance download! The next pack will be rotated sometime in late March. I will probably have another poll. As a reminder: advance downloads are for people who want to get the newest stock as soon as possible; all of the stock will eventually be free on deviantART.One purchase I am considering for the bene

Broccoli Cheese SoupOk boys and girls, time for another easy soup recipe for you bachelors and bachelorettes, college types, or artists on the go like me. Even you family folk out there looking for an easy meal your kids will love, Broccoli Cheese Soup is one of the greatest things ever invented. I love plain old steamed broccoli, but you add cheese and it sings. You make a soup out of it and it's a damn CHOIR! Here we go!2 Cans Chicken and Rice Soup2 Cans of Cream of Chicken Soup (or you can substitute one can for a Cream of Mushroom)1 Stick of butter1 can of evaporated milk (Pet or Carnation)1 bag of Frozen Broccoli1 small box of Velveeta Cheese1.Heat butter, Milk, and Soups slowly (low to medium heat)2.Steam your broccoli in microwave or on the stove separately. Not too done because it will soften up in the soup and it's nice to have a little crunch in there.3. Cut up cheese into small cubes4. Slowly stir in broccoli and cheese into soup until cheese is melted.

Fly on the wallStill experimenting with screen capture technology in hopes of doing a fully comprehensive behind the scenes coloring video in the near future.I just hit record and caught a 30 minute chunk of my work on a page from 86 Plots. You can see examples of face construction, photo reference, and sketchup, along with liberal use of the eraser tool and "un-do" all in the process of drawing a comic page in photoshop. You jaded know it alls out there might find this boring but for those like me who are always interested in how the other guys work, you might like this.It's accompanied to the All Bases Covered set from DJ Shadow, so it's bumpin'.
