Baby Tyranid

Quick update.

Part of the Genestealer Cultist costume is finished being sculpted. This little guy is going to be inside an orb atop a staff.

October update

So, Dragon*Con was crazy, fun, excited, and anything else you can think of. Had a blast, and checking all the hiding spots later, ALL of the free artwork was found. Good job, some of the spots were tricky or waaaaay out of the way.

Working on a couple projects at the moment. A mirror shield from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for a client.
Also working on a Genestealer Cultist - Magus from Warhammer40k costume for myself.

Pictures will come later tonight. Internet access is limited where I am at the moment. I have started a thread over on Obscurus Crusade that has starting pictures for the Genestealer Magus' staff which can be found here

In the store we have some wargaming terrain, all based on recycled CDs. Nice change from rectangle bases.

We are open for comissions. Currently looking to move from SC to GA. Large items that would require wood working or large molds may be delayed depending on the move. Small/Mediums will be just fine though.

FREE ART at Dragon*Con 2011 !!!

That's right!

In the joyous occasion that is Dragon*Con this weekend in Atlanta, GA
(www.dragoncon.org for those that need a link)
I will be promoting by giving away free artwork. It will mostly be prints, but there will be some rare original acrylic paintings in the mix!

How do you get ahold of such treasures? Well, that will be the hard part. I am going to hide them around the convention, free for anyone to pick up.

You will know that it's free because on the back will be written a message letting you know that it is indeed 100% free artwork!

So, go to Dragon*Con, and be on the look out for free art!

Comic Books / Graphic Novels

So, as the hunt for a steady line artist continues I am looking at alternatives.

It's strange how so many people advertise comic art comissions and when you approach them with an offer for a big project with guaranteed comissions over a long period of time, they decline only wanting to do character sketches.

Breaking it down by pages, I would think 24 comissions are better than 1. It just confuses me to no ends. I am sure it is because most sketch artists are in school or have day jobs and can't commit to large projects. In those cases I totally understand.

SO...on to alternatives.

I have been blowing the dust off of photoshop and trying to get back into the groove of photo manipulation. I used to be decent at it, so I believe it may be a good alternative to traditional lined art graphic novels.

This way I can create props and costumes, take stock photos of the actor in all kinds of positions in a day, and have a good library of poses for that character.

This will also let me enjoy the fun of hunting down locations for scenery shots. I just need to invest in a better camera.

I actually had this idea a few years back, but there was a lot of controversy that it was "cheating" when making graphic novels. I hope now such an idea will be more accepted as even with traditional line art, the majority of comics / graphic novels now are created digitally. Hell, I know some artists with published work never touch a penicl and piece of paper, everything is done digitally.

Would like to know thoughts on using manipulated photos for the artwork in comic books and graphic novels.

While you think, here are some of my old photomanipulations from years ago:

New items soon to come and looking for artist

So, with the new Etsy store we are starting to build some inventory. I've started working on some new original artwork. Going to have a few sculptures to add within the next week.

Also, one thing we are looking for is a comic book artist. Even with our creativity and use of various materials, when it boils down to it none of us that are a part of OtherRealm Studios are good at pencil drawing.

It has actually been difficult for someone who wants to sign on for a large project of multiple issue comic books.

Looking for a variety of styles, both standard super-hero and non traditional. If interested please comment below to where we can view examples of your work.
