Besides becoming the next great book cover artist, I also want to become the next great trading card game artist. I figured that one of the qualities that these companies look for is creating a distinctive character in a distinctive environment. With that in mind, I made a little something like this:

This is awesome! You nailed this one, and the background is as great as the central figure. Very powerful, great mood and love the lighting.
Just came across your blog. I'm envious. The "Journey" illustration in your first post is now officially one of my favorite illustrations of all time. I wish there was a poster.
Dude- after seeing this I have no doubt you will get the attention of the right AD's. Your growth is really impressive...definitely lighting a fire under my ass!
Great job!
dude, your work is crazy amazing. loving all your fantasy stuff, man.
Yep, I would agree, you nailed this one. The figure is believable, as is his presence in the environment. Beautiful mood and atmostphere. Great!
Beautiful illustration!!!I like how you work with light ! Love it!:o)
Thanks for your comment on my blog.
I agree with the rest very nicely done. This painting really nailed it. It must have taken forever, but the background detail and composition works great. The firgure is extremely nicely rendered too. great new work.
Amazing works on your blog.. waw man..!!

I gotta say, this is a really stand out piece. I can't imagine the time you put into your pieces.
Thanks guys!
ted-Don't worry, one of these days I'll figure out how to get decent prints made of my work, and then everyone can have copies of my silly work.
Scott-I hope so. Hopefully they'll see something in my work this year that they didn't notice before.
andrei-the sad part of that is that I didn't focus the lighting until the last minute. One of my friends pointed out how much more dramatic it could be, and I couldn't deny it. As a result, I'm left with bunches of detail that I had to just suck up pride with and just paint over.
david malan-I've definitely had work that took me longer than this, but at least the time I spent shows. Maybe that's a bad thing? Anyway, here it is.
Ken-When do I get to see the cool new Ken surprise art? Thanks for saying hi, though. Sometimes I miss working with you guys, but then I remember dealing with certain customers and co-workers. Wild stuff.
dustin, ana banana fo-fana, sergi-thanks!
OH SNAP!!! Dude....new favorite piece for me!! Man, you jsut get better and better!! You always surprise me man:)
Shane 'Hiro' Nakamura told me that Rex Kwo Do in Surfs Up is the best part!
Very well created! I wish I had the dreams you have at night. With an imagination like yours, I could rule the world!
