Episode 66-Episode of the Beast...

This week two squads break ranks to pursue their devilish designs.
In the wilds of the untamed European continent Socar, Andy, Jon, and Ralph talk style and artistic improvement on the job.
Socar then teleports to North America to join the U.S. Squad in varied discussion including chat about professional life outside of rpg's.

you really want to see my worst work huh? well, this one, among others, makes me want to vomit. So, it should give you guys bit of a queasy feeling. http://razwit.deviantart.com/gallery/#/dbmwru
On top of the anatomy being terrible, I had no clue how to use gimp...or any art software really, so I got a massive white outline around the character, and hideous highlights.
That was personal work though, it was a while until I was actually paid to do terrible work...

$25 bucks for this one http://razwit.deviantart.com/gallery/#/dg6h2v and repeat work too!!! I was hired by a clan in the game Socom 3, to do this and a few others based off of transformers and sesame street characters. I won't lie, I've definitely done worse after this point in my artistic career (not much of a career yet. But anyway...), but this is the first time I was paid to do any work.

the first big project I got...okay, actually I'm not going to talk about this one because I'm really ashamed of it, and the person who hired me could be reading this. Just know that I tried my best...after not drawing at all for about 3 months.

So instead here's an example of traditional work I used to do. http://razwit.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d12ljha

Well, that's enough bad work...from the past. not you get to see my much better but still noticeably flawed present work!

OK, Preston has started the ball rolling. Here's what I was doing when I was young...

The first two were printed in small-press horror/sci-fi mags and the third one was printed in a Clive Barker fanzine. I apologize to everyone for the pain inflicted on your eyes!

These two are more recent, and seem to be pretty popular amongst print buyers:

Yeah, what Mary said. ;) Nothing to cry about for sure.

This was the first painting I got (sort of) paid for.

STREET: Empathy cover

And I DO hope I got better. :D This is a cover for a second part of the trilogy which I did fairly recently.

STREET: Clairvoyance

And this, oh this. :D It's a two page spread for a comicbook. And it's horrible. It's funny, I didn't like this at all even at the time I painted it.

Yonderbook 2page

Anyways, my portfolio is here. ;)
