The Nightmare Circus

This is still very much in progress. I want to make it even more detailed-full with my little critters. But thus far I'm quite pleased. Based on "The Nightmare" by Henry Fuseli. Critiques and comments are much appreciated.

Candidate Visits

We have three candidates coming to campus this week for the 50/50 position in 3D modeling/animation, Video and traditional studio courses. Each candidate will be putting on a presentation in the afternoon. I recommend that you see each of them. I will be interested in your comments.

Advanced Photoshop Magazine

Hi I have been getting this magazine for awhile and i have to share it with others here. Its a great magazine for photoshop users. It includes step-by-step tutorials, interviews from a range of artists from talented starters to professional designers. It also offers deals on art programs and gadgets. The best part is there is a disc that comes with each issue that includes the tutorial photos so you can follow along, image galleries sumbited by artists, and a huge package of about one of three things: fonts, textures, and brushes. Its worth the money and the look I have a few issues already so if anyone wants to look at them in class (not when Sven is teaching of course) just ask me. If you want to borrow them though ill need something so ill know ill get it back. Not that I don't trust you guys its just that these issues are expensive and hard to replace.

Also a website to look at: http://www.carbonmade.com/
It is a website that is based around posting your portfolio on the internet. It has a free acount and is easy to set up. The draw back is that for free acounts you are limited to 35 files. It should be enough for a starter portfolio, but if you want to have more, it costs around $12 a month.

Expressionist Self portrait

Since I missed a critique I figured I would post and hopefully receive any kind of feedback on the expressionist self portrait project for digital print. Made my nose larger than my face and used shades of green in the skin tones. Thanks.

I was in a class the other day and someone recommended a web site woostercollective.com . Its more graffiti art rather than computer art but some of the stuff is really cool. There are a bunch of different styles and links you can check out. Its defiantly a good site if you want some new ideas.
