Neat. Very minimalist.

Eek!

Poop. I've been nabbed.
Actually, that was more or less specifically requested of me. He's like 'Nah - check this site out, just make it like this one.'
I made a couple of changes, but he wa ...

Slick as all hell, I dig it a lot.
It just begs to be a skateboard/snowboard/beverage.

'Hell soda. It's red and painful. Just like Hell.'

Only crit - actually just a personal preference, is to hi ...

Ok, this sort of falls under site promotion, but I really can't post all of his work here.

This is a site I just did for my very good friend, 100% pencil illustration with *ahem* more detail than you ...

Good stuff.
But why does the 3d link to go the graphic design section? I was hoping for some awesome 3d pics!

Neato. Looks good to me - the red and oranges are a little vibrant, but if you're going for comic style that's fine.
Also - the color blooms on the helmet/hand read sort of as yellow airbrush mistak ...

Eek!
It hurts my self-esteem just to look at it!

Very nice.

I'll get the box of leeches.

Old, old stuff, I could do so much better, but the ideas are cool. Never enough time... http://blink-studios.com/art/oddity.jpg

My advice for getting a good job is to go to a good college.
As far as illustration - it's pretty safe to say that there are very, very few full-time illustration positions. You'll probably have to ...

Someone mentioned rustedfaith.com because it's fairly obvious that you 'admire' the look and feel of that site. It's very, close.
I'm convinced that portfolio sites should not be done in Flash. The ...

Also put in the tutorial for the technique where you strap half a dozen pens to your forehead and slam your head into the tablet.

Ok - read all the posts, and I really like the loneliness/desolation, which is where I think this piece should go.
I'd actually ADD more space to the left of the mountain, even so far as shrinking th ...

Yup - filters are not a substitute for uh... not having filters, which is um, usually better. Sure.

Tanguy, Dali, Manet,
McKean - Giger, Brom, Frazetta, Alex Ross.
Hmmm... Ron Spencer, Anson Maddocks, Capullo,

ooh - Tony DiTerlizzi! How could I forget him! http://www.sijun.com/dhabih/ubb/smile.g ...

Thank's for the feedback guys - good call on the gums. I'm all over it.

First off - I apologize if this counts as newbies filling the forum with crap. I worked pretty hard on this thing, and this wacom has a hell of a learning curve.
Crit welcomed - mostly, 'How do I ge ...

If you keep working on a micro scale like this, you're going to run into problems. I'd work on large areas of color first, and make sure the overall design works before putting so much work into det ...

Man, I always feel bad when the new guys are ignored. Where is everyone? In the comic book posts?

I like the pose, the texture in the jeans is good, and the hair is good. I'd work on the face a b ...

I love Beethoven. He was Austrian you know. But for this sort of work, he's a little light, so I tend to go with the heavier guys.

Same thing happened on my last forum hangout - maxforums.org.
This is basically what happens to forums when they become popular, people like this place, it's the best illustration forum on the net, ...

Again - this forum can't tell you what you'd enjoy doing. There's a big difference between illustration, graphic design and animation.
A lot of people love all of them, some spend their whole life i ...

I received a degree in Computer Graphics (BFA) from Syracuse University. I was basically in the same boat - torn between weather I should study computer graphics (web design, programming, 3d animati ...

Do it right!
There's nothing worse than putting good work into an awful website - get a designer to design it!
Not to pick on Craig, but his work is absolutely breathtaking, and the website just does ...

Spawn - IMHO GC surpassed MF long ago.
JTHM, and Squee, which was not quite up to par. I do like some of the detailed Photoshop fluff - Witchblade, etc.
Frank Miller is a genius.

FYI -
I have a friend that worked there - but when I mentioned him getting me a job, he didn't suggest working there.
Apparently because it's such a prestigious place to work for, and people from al ...

Very good - but you're absolutely right about the sketching having a bit more life. If you can capture the free linework of the sketch with the control and detail of the inkwork...
