Brushes and tutorials

Journal Entry: Fri Nov 23, 2012, 1:37 PM
Hey everyone,

How is everyone doing? :)

Sometimes it's good to try new things and watch others to improve your own art.

Therefor, i've collected some brushes and tutorials i've found quite usefull to
improve with digital painting for the ones out there that want to improve with that.

I haven't got any Youtube videos in here, but be sure to watch some speedpaintings
and painting tutorials there aswell, it's a major help!

If you ever need any help with a painting/drawing/software,
you can always message me so I can have a look at it and help out :)

Have a nice day! :peace:

The End Eloise walked up the sloping hill and sat down at its top, breathing heavily as she looked down at the bandage covering her arm. It still stung where the alien's barbed tail had struck her. The docs said she'd be fine though so there was nothing she could do about it but hope they were right.
Her gaze turned to the skies as a warm breeze blew the grasses around her in a rippling wave. Overhead, the hive ship—or what was left of it—was beginning to enter the atmosphere.
The rock-like ship began to glow as it touched the atmosphere and then its already compromised shape began to crumble and collapse in on itself. Pieces began fly

Falling In My muscles were on fire and my breathing was ragged. Fuck me I hate running. It sucks.
But I have to do it, part of the regimen and all that no matter how miserable I am doing it. My biggest problem isn't endurance though. It's speed.
I'm built big, and I've never been light. Running fast is a bitch for me and takes a lot out of me. I'm not proud of it, but that's how it is.
Doesn't help that military food isn't exactly the healthiest thing in the world. Even the salads will give you the runs.
I heard them before I saw them. The familiar cadence call:
"When my Grandma was ninety-one!"
And the company reply of:

The hallway looked as if a wrecking ball had torn through it. He reached down and picked up his cap, putting it on his head as he began walking down the hallway over the broken forms and bodies of his schoolmates.
"Yes? Sheriff? Get to the school house ri—" Miss Levenworth froze as Cody turned to look at her. Her eyes bulged in her head and she slammed her class door. "Oh god, he just looked at me. Please, hurry before he kills me. Please."
Cody swallowed and began running. He had

The ChildThe shadow hung around her like a thick mist, trying to smother her in its embrace; she resisted its call, and stared at the ember red orb floating in front of her. An icy laugh drifted through the shadow around her, and then an even colder voice echoed in the darkness; standing her hair on end.
"Do you accept my challenge little girl?"
She steeled her heart, "yes, I'll take your challenge. For them, I'll do anything."
The laughter filled the shadows and the orb split and charged her burning into each of her hands, she screamed as the searing heat burned her flesh; she stared at the back of her hands, and then turned them over. On the b

Desert SeekerThe sun beat down on Rose's back as she ran towards the distant temple. It stood carved into the sandstone cliff face, it's massive stone guardians standing an ominous watch over the stretches of the desert. The beauty of the temple, no matter how stunning, was lost on Rose at the moment. She had more pressing concerns. Like the land shark pursuing her. The beast erupted from the dune directly behind her, showering her with sand. Renewed panic took a grip on Rose's heart as she scrambled up and over the next dune as the land shark's massive armored head bit at her with concussive snaps that sent her staggering. She tumbled over the top of the

Her and Herself...ExpressionsThe faintest exhale of iced wind, was enough to penetrate and awaken herself. She was herself and her, both one and the same, but both radically different. Two different beings as one. One knew of herself, and she knew of himself. Both knew of each other’s selfs, but she was unable to control herself no longer there was no control, but not uncontrol either. . Whenever herself was exhausted, her was able to stay together and manage to keep on going. Whenever her was exhausted, herself was the willpower to keep on going. But when both were exhausted by each other, then she became exhausted. Her was able to tire herself, but not totally exhaust, and vice-versa.
But he perhaps knew. He knew much more than most, but still not enough to know. Unworthiness, it ‘twas more than plenty to allow herself to turn against her, for herself to become the force and controlling power of she. For herself and her were simply, self and her. Her was the body, and self was the mind. Fo

Building the NES toaster

Journal Entry: Thu Sep 27, 2012, 4:05 AM
Most of you will know that i've recently
made a 3D work of a NES toaster.



I've had quite the amount of questions if this was real,
if they could buy it or if i were going to make them.
I've even got a message from a company willing to make
them, but the thing is they are not capable to get licenses.

Therefore, after some suggesions from some people, i've set up a
fundraising project to get a license and to get this thing in production!

You can find the page right here: [link]

I also have some rewards for donating, including logo design.
If you'd like to see a real NES toaster as much as i do, help me out here! :)

Sidenote
I'm still offering 2 logo commissions for just €5,
check my journal about that here: [link]

In a while there will be some events (with prizes :drool:) there too, in which you could participate too of course!

For those contests we will need some more prizes though, if anyone would like to donate anything like a journal feature for the winners, a sketch maybe or some spare points, anything like that would be great! :la:

Well, besides that i have a bunch of art for you again in this feature! :)
Enjoy :peace:

• You can also mail me instead, or talk to me on msn. My contact info is available on the bottom of the page.

Promise for the SkyIt all started when she was three years old.  She saw gulls soaring over rooftops and summer waves through her curious blue eyes.  She reached out to touch their silver feathers but her fingers bounced aimlessly off the glass.  It didn't seem fair.

When she was four she chased after the crows who stole crumbs of peanut butter sandwiches.  She watched him hop towards the discarded bread, eyes wide, like criminal's eyes, they seemed almost hypnotic.  She reached out, trying to touch a crow's glossy wings, but he spread them widely and took off, leaving only one sleek, dark feather behind. The sight one the bird in flight was unlike anything sh

Rain Yesterday
Mourning is the sky, blowing a shattering wail
Grinding those we hold on to into a forgotten trail
Slowly flying into the mouth with crystal gleams
Darkened faces, and wisps of utmost speed
Raging and convoluting like a defeated animal
Hissing and striking with a bite so fierce
Wielding the delicate nature of you and
Harboring the emblazoned flash in my feverish gut,
Swirls engulf all that is around but all pain is absent
Fingers grasp solidity and then slip on wraith-like chills
Sending thought into fluid motion down a chasm
Grey matter is now a breath on my shoulder,
Darkness is no longer my absence, it is you
Now sleeps the s

ObsessionEvery second,
Every moment,
When I look at you,
A new world unravels in front of me...

Smooth talk,
Smooth walk,
When I see you,
I lose track of reality...

I always make up stories,
Make up memories,
Full of expression,
Full of guilt...

I love your smile, your lips, your style,
Your voice, your eyes, your passion...

Why can't I let you go?
I know the answer...
                     It's an obsession!
