Ok, so I often have like 5 different things going at once, but this week I'm working on a portrait of James Arness as Marshall Matt Dillon (from Gunsmoke) and a short Sherlock Holmes animation I started a while back. Wish me luck!

Update: Ok now now I'm also doing a portrait of the late, great Christopher Lee. It's a lower-contrast photo, so it's giving me some trouble, but I'll get it!

I'm a HUGE horror/Halloween fan, and that's my favorite time of year to dig into art projects. Lately, though, I've been thinking how cool it would be to team up with someone, or several people, to do some kind of comic or animation. Something more involved. Any other horror/Halloween fans out there who might want to talk about that? Just putting some feelers out =)

For example, any of the following would be great:

*Someone to write the script/dialogue

*Someone to design the backgrounds

*Someone to design characters

*Someone to do the animation.

Hey everyone, I posted this in the forums, but figured I'd make a post on my page as well. I'm wondering what the best way is to sell digital prints. Selling a printable file would be the most convenient, but of course the easiest to pirate. Does putting a watermark and signature on it really detour that kind of thing?

If you do sell physical prints, how much do you sell them for? What is the best way to ship them, so they don't get damaged? Thanks for any input on this

I've been thinking, and i don't think I'm going to rate anyone on this site, unless it's a positive review. Because of the site's rating system, where you can actually get your artwork removed for not being good enough, I think it just creates an atmosphere of insecurity and cut throat competition that I just don't like, as well as being incredibly demoralizing to upcoming artists. It says somewhere on this site, "everything for everyone" but that is pretty much a lie. I wish they'd re-think this.

So far I am very discouraged with the site. You post something and people vote it down just being jerks. Actually, not just vote it down, which would be fine, but they go out of their way to say something immature and hurtful. It's particularly annoying when they themselves haven't posted anything, let alone the type of art they are criticizing. I might just take down my animations soon, since they only seem to be attracting the immature, negative people who just want to put your work down. This is the problem with the internet; you see the worst in people.

P.S. I will delete any snotty, immature comments to any of my posts. Let's be adults, shall we?

Hey everyone,
My name is Jason and I'm an amateur artist and voice actor. I also do photo-restoration as a part-time, at home job. I've been doing narration for stories, articles, etc the last few years, for Japanese students of English, but haven't really gotten into the US side of it yet. Would love to lend my voice to some project or perhaps get involved in a project using my digital drawing/painting talents. Hope to get to know some great people on the site.
