Aside from good illustration, or things that make me laugh, I'm also a real sucker for top notch graphc design, interface design, animation, and photography. I like to favorite the things that make me think "I need to try this."

A small request! (I'm impatient!)

:iconfox-orian:

Hey everyone! Oddball request of sorts.

Alright, so I really want this backpack that InCase makes because my old messenger bag is killing my neck and shoulders, and only carries 1/2 my gear. I've been waiting for a good month now for their facebook page to reach 45,000 likes. When they reach 45,000 likes, InCase will have a 45% off sale with free shipping from their online store. Needless to say, more people than just me out there are waiting for this to happen, hahah!

If you want to help us out, [ click here to go to InCase's facebook page and hit like! ]

It's kind of a selfish request, I'm sorry about that hahah, but hey, they're at like 42,800 so far so... not too much further!

Thanks for anyone who helps out :D (I'm sure InCase probably appreciates it too.)

(P&C PDF Edition is coming along nicely, btw! Is still going to take some time, though!)

I'm a bit of a jack-of-all-trades between illustration, photography, and graphic design, but my true focus lies within Illustration. My illustration centers around conceptual art design, as I enjoy creating characters, vehicles, environments, and narratives. My style tends to lean much more toward technical things than organic. My mind loves to think about mechanics, gadgetry, and urban life.

FAQ

Q: How did you do that?
A: I move my wrist around while holding a pen and stuff happens. I keep doing that until the image is finished.

Q: How do you get such straight lines?
A: A ruler. Sometimes a digital ruler.

Q: How do you get such clean lines?
A: I use the brush tool in Photoshop.

Q: What Wacom tablet should I get?
A: [link]

Q: Hey, where are the prints for your work?!
A: My DA prints are no more. I've begun self-selling prints exclusively because I don't need DA as a middle-man. I got the equipment. If you want a print up to 13x19 inches, my pricing starts at about $40 or so, excluding shipping. Note me if you're interested! My prints are quality archival -- they aren't some cheap poster.
