New FREE website....

here is the free site so far. I haven't uploaded everything yet or transferred the DNS (hence the URL is funny) I just wanted to get a feel for how it would look with the ads. So...I think it sucks with ads. what do you think?

options:

1) accept the ads and design the site so everything appears below the ads, that is, integrate the ads into the design a bit better.

2) these guys have a $35/year package that has no banner.

3) keep the lunar pages site. easier but costlier....($99/year)

Title: Adult Web site needs cartoonist
Category: Illustration / Cartooning / Painting / Sculpting
Description:
We would like to launch a new content area of our amateur adult Web site in the
next 30-45 days.

We are seeking an adult/erotic cartoon artist that can create a set of 20 pinup
illustrations of our main character (in color, sample attached), then a monthly
cartoon (non-animated) feature monthly with an additional 10 pinups monthly.

We can provide artists with reference photography of the main character as well,
but the design we've decided on is attached. We're looking for a character /
comic design that closely resembles this genre of drawing (sample attached).

We're hoping to pay $250 monthly for this work.

potomac studios website

I renewed our domain....we still own www.potomacstudios.com for one more year. However, I have not renewed our webhost so after July, if you enter that domain into your browser you will get a site not found message. We need to find a free webhost who allows us to register our domain.

here is one possible candidate (look it over if you have anytime)

Title: Pet Mural in a Children's Room
Category: Illustration / Cartooning / Painting / Sculpting
Description:This project is a mural for a children's room depicting our family dogs. We're looking for someone who is familair with dog portraits. The mural will need to be done on a canvas since the wall it will hang on is paneled. The size of the mural will be approximately 4x6. We would like to be able to see sketches of the project before the painting has begun. We were hoping to have this completed by late September.

I don't have time for this - either of you interested?

Here is is the background of the sandpiper painting I am working on....as I said in the comments of the star wars pic below: I have the background (ocean wave pulling away to reveal wet sand and some foam on the beach, wave receding in the background) still need to add some highlights to the water then its adding in the sandpipers.

So here it is...

Stuff Im working on...


[Ryan's last post from the other site....]


Here's what I'm working on right now. Prob. won't get to finish it until after my deadline at the office. The actual images are on 14 x 17 bristol. Darth Vader ran off the page, so I had to cut and paste. I have to say, that M-effer is one challenging subject to draw. Anyway, like I said, will eventually get the Deathstar hangar with Mill. Falcon in the background. Also wil draw the lightsabers in photoshop.

I'm in now

Posted some stuff at old wastedspace. I don't really care how this one looks. Ditch the orange if you want.

Chicken home




Here is sara veron's website

I am fascinated by this type of art for some reason. I think I like the speed with which it can be done and even though it is really simple I think this kind of stuff shows considerable skill.

I'm on board

I'm in with an obscene username that I won't remember.

SW Stuff


Here's that other starwars stuff i posted for that artxilla contest a while ago. I lost the final colored versions in the great PC crash of '04. What I was able to save was a non-colored kenobi and a 90% colored padme dwg.

I'll try to scan the stuff I'm working on right now, but the sheets are big, so I'll have to break it up and piece it together.

Great quote on too much process from Herman Wouk's Caine Mutiny:

"The Navy is a master plan designed by geniuses for execution by idiots. If you're not an idiot, but find yourself in the Navy, you can only operate well by pretending to be one. All the shortcuts and economies and common-sense changes that your native intelligence suggests to you are mistakes. Learn to quash them. Constantly ask yourself, 'How would I do this if I were a fool?' Throttle down your mind to a crawl. Then you'll never go wrong."
