Lol no dude. To many lonely nights waiting for you to call. And someone slapped me around pretty good last night art-wise. I'm having an existential crisis. We should do a collab or something though sometime. Nod nod nod

Slapped you around how? They don't like your strange, almost cubist, painterly styles?

Here's another one I started on paper. Envee's Forlorn Lust. On a donut with sprinkles. Holding a cigar.

I love the much more simple lineart you're using in this, though her hip area bugs me. Seems like the pelvis is coming too far forwards, when the thigh meat would hide it a little more.

Don't eat the donut.

I guess the size of the sprinkle doesn't matter after all.

Is that a reference to "it's not the size of the boat, it's the motion in the ocean" or some variation? Should those sprinkles be bigger and more satisfying? I'm not really getting it.

I was thinking more "Not the size of the wand but the magic in it," but same basic idea... But I figured if I carried it forward with a reference to a donut's cream filling I may just cross the line of good taste. Not a good idea when donuts are involved!

Cream filling always tastes good.

I'm doing a 3d sculpt of Comrade Hero. Today I started reworking my previous effort with some of the new ZBrush 4 brushes and using CH's 2010 ref sheet:

Here's an update (roughed out the lower body):


Zbrush has always been problematic for me because I'm not good at modeling something in its entirety--meaning roughing out the entire object and then gradually detailing it as a whole. I have more success doing parts, even though that isn't a very pro way of working. And in the past it's been very tricky to add more clay to a mesh after it's been taken to a higher level of detail.

ZBrush4 adds new tools to make this process a lot easier. So I might be able to reasonable offer figurative commissions like this in the future once I get a good workflow down (CH is my homeboy from Protector so he's a special case).

On an unrelated note, after doing work for someone and not receiving payment--how long would you wait before considering yourself stiffed?

The yardstick I tend to use with artists who haven't delivered the goods is whether or not there is communication - Do they answer my emails or not.

I would use a similiar standard at least for a while in the reverse... Do you KNOW they know the art is done? Have they read the email reminding them of expected payment? But if the answer is yes to these two questions, probably a couple three days is sufficient unless they're giving out some semi plausible excuse.
