Description Little thing I did tonight . Been meaning to do more personal work but just moved into a new place, got a puppy, and two companies were late on paying me haha. Busy month! Things have started to settle down and I'm no longer stressed! !

Hi! I love the art. I hope you don't mind, but I plan on using this in a set of digital cards. They won't be sold, and you will be credited on the card. If you have an objection to this personal use, let me know, and I'll change the picture to something else. Thanks!

Reminds me of the 30 Days of Night books.

By all of your pieces, even the newer ones. I always find myself going back to this one. It might be old but the mood of this painting is great. The expression and the tiny vocal point in the face really makes it freaky.

You definitively should bring this aspect to your paintings more often.

I have a question. In your personal opinion, which do you think is worse to have to deal with? A goon or a goblin? I ask that because your picture reminds me of a song I heard. You did a good job on it btw.

Oh, just me again. I was looking still at this amazing drawing you did. I read R A Salvatori's books Forgotten RealmS. I was looking all over the book,inside and out to see who the artist is and I couldn't find it. I know that Keith Parkinson does some fantasy book cover art. However I have to tell you that you work should be on the covers of books. Your talent is amazing. I love how you use light and shadow to create such an amazing impact! Truly superb work!

! Thanks a lot ! I talk to a guy who does covers for him from time to time. Not sure if hes the same cover artist youre talkin about but his name's Todd Lockwood. If I could work on the same level stuff as him I'd be pretty excited haha. Hopefully someday soon, I just gotta keep studying .

Oh and thanks for the feature !

[link] This is the artist who does R A Salvatore's book art and you are on his level of artistic ability. Actually I like yours better because your characters look more realistic and less cartoony.
I really love your work David, and you are welcome for the feature, it is my pleasure!

Yea, thats Todd, he helps me with my cover work haha. I've learned quite a bit talking to him... Thanks for the kind words ! I'll try my best to up the level of my work .

That was really cool because I had wondered who did the artwork. Like I said I thought it might have been Keith Parkinson because he does do some fantasy book covers. I had checked out his site and there were images of book covers he has created, but none of Salvatore's books were there.
That is really amazing, but I still think you are so talented. However it is great to challenge ourselves to do better. I look forward to seeing more of your art!

HowlSeage In reply to DaveRapoza [2009-07-31 04:50:01 +0000 UTC]

fuck yeah! What an amazing mix!!
I had a border collie. My favorite breed ever. They have a shit ton of energy they need to burn daily though. And they're smart, so be warned, lol.

Can't wait to browse your SB for those updates man!

yea, shes a 12-13 weeks old and she can already do all the tricks D:. But she does still poop inside sometimes... Hopefully she'll get smarter fast haha.

I'll try and update more often, but I'm also trying to further myself with better clients... Which seem to be coming so hopefully I can handle both ! Either way it wont be as bad as the past month.

Lmao. Well if u need any tips, give me a shout. You have me on msn.

Thats awesome about better clients. As of now, I have NO clients. I think i'm still not good enough. But i'm trying my best, and practicing hard.
