So much great work in this thread and all I could come up with was a 10min or so doodle made a little less worse by various manipulations.
Back to lurking and drawing cubes in my sketchbook...

Reakshun, Please send me the ad or some way to see it. I can�t imagine it was.
I am giving a demo/talk next week at a community college in Honolulu. They bribed me with dinner.
Ron, the pirate stuff and the mouse ears things are all invented no reference. I think doing a lot of matte painting has helped me a lot with that. You have to be extremely thorough in your understanding of the lighting situation, and sometimes having plate photography to reverse engineer can really help you understand what is going on. Why every plane is the value it is, why every color is the way it is. You have to have that surety to pull off a matte. So when you have that base to pull from, you can start exaggerating in doing illustrations, since you know what is real, and can always pull back if needed. Also looking at photography really closely helps to understand it�s limitations and characteristics, generally to avoid them, but you know about that from all the studio time you have.
Um your second question, that is a real battle. I can�t stand noodling images, once I have solved it composition and lighting (getting it to a �speedpainting� level) If feel the image gets weaker and looses impact with more noodling. I am always up for rethinking the whole problem from the ground up, but no turd polishing, please. But a lot of art directors squeal about it, and worry about getting fired. One thing you can do is not show any picky work in the portfolio, so everyone has the same expectations. Yes I think that is the answer, you might not get the same jobs, but the work will appeal to a different set.
hey Pud', you're stuff's cool. Don't worry about it�.
Really! You have ideas, and it would be bad to see that take a back seat to technique. I don�t mean to insult you by saying that you could not fight off the influence, but it creeps around your brain in strange ways. What I see in your work now is refreshing, different, and the very straightforward, honest technique keeps the viewer�s (and your) attention where it should be. It gets the point across, no further fancy technique required or desired. So get the DVD, but only watch it during the day or with the light on. And probably not alone. Good to have a spotter sometimes. Just my opinion, take it or leave it.
Burnout, a very few times they overlap, I might sketch something out, not like it, does not fall into the realm of the contract, I keep it. |

Mr. Mullins,
I'll take your long silence as a no to my request. I apologize for not taking the opportunity to explain myself better. Good luck with your plans for the future.
Keep up the great work. |

| Spooge, with the goal of being able to invent lighting w/o reference, would you recommend matte painting, just to develop an understanding of light? Or could a person eventually get to the same point with the cube exercise? |

Spooge, Awesome Halo_Car_wreck rendering me bows, maybe one important thing with realism lays within the bouncing lights, beautiful.
I can look at that helmet forever.
William Bouguereau copy, not rocksolid but it was hell-fun to do it.
pud' - thank you.
