Eowyn & The Nazgul

I just did this for the Eowyn & The Nazgul Challenge over at theartorder.com.

These challenges are quite the experience. I ended up spending a couple of all nighters at my aunt's dining room table while I was on vacation. That wasn't the plan originally. I started on it the day the contest was announced. I just had problem after problem getting it how I wanted. One day not being able to draw, the next day re-working everything I did the previous day when I couldn't draw, then a day or two of 2nd guessing my entire idea, throw in a few days of completely debilitating self-doubt and there you are at 5am the night before the deadline at your aunt's kitchen table.

In the end it turned out ok. It's not my favorite piece of all time, but I don't hate it (That happens alot).

What I really need to do is stop obsessing over a finished piece. I could keep working on any one of my pieces for the rest of my life and never be quite satisfied.

So..on to the next piece. I have some actual paying gigs to take care of that are not exciting at all, but necessary to have income.

Maybe I'll have time to fit the CGHub/ImagineFX challenge in.

Anyway, go check out the lineup of entries to the challenge. There is alot of amazing work!

Welcome!

I am slowly figuring things out and putting this site together. As far as usability goes; Squarespace is as easy as I could hope for. Now I just have to figure out what I want it to look like.

So...The gallery is pretty small so far. I'm only putting things up that have been completed recently. I'm hoping to add one new image per month (or close to that).  All my other work just isn't relevant to what I'm wanting to do these days. If you must see the old stuff, you can go to my deviantart page. It will be in the links.

As for this blog....I have no idea what direction I'm going to go with this. Obviously I'll be showing what I'm working on, my latest completed work, etc...  but I would like to make this a little more than another gallery of my work. I'll be thinking on it. Maybe we will just fumble through this together and see what happens. Hopefully there will be some reason you want to add it to your list of blogs.
