The goal of nailing down another job akin to what I did at Bioware just hasn't happened. That iron has gone cold. With everything going on w/ my Mother In Law (who I'm looking after) chemotherapy and everything going south lately I'm stuck doing the freelance-thing and relying on a tricke of income. I've got a game I'm doing a shitload of concepts for. Just nailed down the basic looks of races. Doing up their clothing now. I also have a number of illustrations due for another RPG. I'm doing t-shirt and bag design for a small local company, due very soon. I just wrapped up a novel cover for a small publisher. I have a bunch of painting to do

I'm not going to bitch, lineart has paid the bills for years. but sadly it has kept me making minimum wage while working 60 hours a week which gets old. I want more color work. So, I need to show off more color work. ...and I'm off!

A year ago yesterday I started doing CS Management stuff for EA Bioware. I got laid off a couple weeks back. Redundancy. Now I'm looking at the artwork thing and reconsidering. When I interviewed w/ Bioware, I was asked straight up if I was going to stay with them, keep doing whet I was doing, or were they a rung on the ladder to something else? Was I waiting for the first art gig to come along to jump ship. In that moment I made a career decision. As an artist where was I going to go? Modeler/ Skinner? 3D art Lead one day? It's a very short trip until you run out of road. Only so far you can go. I was on the Producer track, so realisticall
