First off, I want to thank everyone for visiting and supporting my previous featured artist: I hope you'll continue to visit her awesome gallery for future updates. Damn but she works quickly! She's put up several new pieces since last month and they're all fantastic.

This month, I'd like to introduce all of you to a new mug.  Please drop by 's page and give him a warm hello.  Stick around to look through his gallery - you won't be disappointed.

deserves far more love than he's been getting here on DA.  His extremely detailed line-work is making him a bigger and bigger hit in the comic biz these days (trust me, I've seen a few things he can't yet post here and he is on fire).  The man can flat-out draw, no question - and I truly spite him for it

This artist knows his business and he knows where he wants to go within it.  The new ideas he comes up with never cease to amaze me and on more than one occasion he's helped me work through details when I've been stuck on one project or another of my own.  As an added treat, he's been getting into some more digital painting this last year, and many of those are posted over in his gallery.

Speaking of his gallery. . .why aren't you there right now?  

A small sampling of images:


      


See you all for the next feature!  As always, thanks for looking and your support!

( UPDATE: All commissions have been. . .well, commissioned. I'll post updates as more commission availabilities open up on my DA page, in the commission window. So stay tuned and I'll be back for more. Thanks to everyone who commissioned work this round - you guys rock! )

Hey there, everybody -

For the first time, ever, I'll be opening up shop for some commissions. The price tiers are as follows:

______________________________________________________________________


1) Black and White Pencil Drawing (not to exceed 8.5"x11")  (Sample of style: :thumb93304321: )
~ $75 = 1 character* with minimal background; for each additional character, add $50
~ $150 = Scenic organic landscape; for multi-structure cit-scapes, add $50

2) Color Comic Style Piece (not to exceed 8" in any direction)  (Sample of style: :thumb93370945: )
~ $100 = 1 character* with minimal background; for each additional character, add $50
~ $200 = full scene with background and up to 3 characters*

3) Full Color Digital Painting (not to exceed 8" in any direction)  (Sample of style: )
~ $200 = 1 full color character* with minimal background; for each additional character,
         add $100
~ $600 = full color scene of your choice with up to 4 characters*

(*Large monsters may take the place of one or more characters in a piece, depending upon their complexity. So if you've got some creatures / monsters you'd like in your commissioned pieces, let's discuss it and see what we can do, eh? )

______________________________________________________________________

Those are the three price tiers and subsequent details. I try to keep prices low.  The reality is that I want to turn out the same work for you all that I do for my other clients. For that to happen I have to compete with the prices I get for those jobs. The up-side is that, for the prices above, you get work of a quality that's on par with what you already see in my gallery.

As I stated above, Commissions are now closed for this first round.  Thanks to everyone who participated and for those of you who might want future commissions, please check the commission status window on my main DA page.    Until next time!

Filled all the feature slots! Congrats to the featured artists. It's been wonderful to be exposed to so much great art over the last week. Thanks for playing, folks!

So, I had a good time with the last journal entry / 15 feature game.  I think one of the greatest things about deviantART is logging in each day to see all the wonderful work that's just floating around.  A downfall of the site is that there is so much work it's hard to find time to look through it all.  It's a problem that plagues the pageviews of many of my friends and colleagues here on DA.  So many artists are absolutely not getting the number of looks the quality of their work merits.  So I'm gonna try and do a feature here and there, regularly if I can manage it (we'll see), to direct some attention where I feel it's due.

Starting off the new trend, I'd like to have you all give a big "hey-how-are-ya!" to

Here is an artist who brings the goods.  She works in a unique and versatile style that I continuously find inspiring.  The bold, expressive quality shown in each piece, through merely gesture and color alone, is what really hits each piece home for me.  Each illustration teems with an energy that pops off the digital canvas.  The epic scope she often employs in her work, along with the creativity of design in both her characters and environments doesn't hurt her case none either.

Don't take my word for it though, give 's gallery a look for yourself.  (Doo iiiiit!  You know you want to!)

And to wrap things up, here are just a few of of my favs to kick off the party:

      


Stay tuned for more features down the way. . .

As per the agreement with , I'm posting features of 15 Deviants. The game goes like this. The first 15 people to respond to my journal will get three of their deviations featured....BUT you also have to post the same in your Journal with me in the top slot! Sounds fair right? So respond away, and I shall pick three of my favorite Deviations from your gallery to post in thumbnail format. You know you want it!
