I'm looking for internship. This is for one of my industrial design classes. I don't care what it is as long as it's not ID. CG, photoshop, 3d modeling, texturing, design, illustration, games, movies whatever goes. Msg me and i'll send you a link with some samples.


look for hidden shapes

Hello- I have to say that I am rather impressed by your style. I like the fact that you use extensive layering and variation of texture and form, even in your quick sketches. The wispy and gestural shapes that you use are are a nice change from the Doug Chiang-like shapes that seem to be all too prevalent these days- in fact, your art reminds me of Richard Powers, a surrealist artist who did paintings for sci-fi book covers, starting in the 40's. Just in case you look him up, the pieces that he painted that were NOT cover art are actually more impressive.
I hope that you find an internship somewhere- I am an ID student in Edmonton, Alberta, and I might end up in the same boat as you in a couple of years, though I will not be heartbroken if I actually have to do ID!

hi, thanks. don't know about Edmonton, but very few people will get id jobs here. there are just too many people graduating and too few jobs. besides, making boxes or ladders for canadian tire or something like that is not very exciting. good stuff is south of the border or in europe.

actually, i wouldn't mind getting a job. time to dig out maya and make a demo reel.

You've come a very long way since you started posting here. Your pictures have such a fascinating depth and mystique. Usually abstract to the point of surreal, even nightmarish in a way, but always graceful and beautiful at the same time, especially that last image. Like a very calm and peaceful horror. It's such an intriguing balance that you always manage to achieve. That said, as much as I love your style and your ability to create such imaginitive and delicately horrifying landscapes and scenes, I can't really much of a market for your work unless you take it to a more practical level. Your works are so abstract that, while I can't imagine anyone not loving them, it's kind of hard to see a company that would have a use for them. Hope I'm making my point clear and not offending you. I think these images are more "mood" than "concept." I think you would probably need to take a more practical and structured approach in order to make your work marketable and desirable to companies.

Don't get me wrong though, you work is absolutely stunning, and I think I speak for most of the people at Sijun when I say that.

Tinusch, thanks. this is personal stuff. painting in this style commercially never occurred to me. i was thinking of texture painting, 3d modeling, concept design. you're right of course. i'm working on more practical, matte paintings. getting proficient at that will probably take me, hell, another 3 years ?
