    @Jeremiahbrown

    I am a former 15 year retail manager attempting to be a full time illustrator. I never miss a deadline.

      Some "Yeti" ideas I've been working on. I don't think they're cute enough so I'll probably go back to the drawing tablet.

    • RE: Our SVS Virtual Studio FEBRUARY 🙃2021

      So I'm making the jump from Adobe to Affinity products (because the cost for Adobe is crazy for someone just starting out and only needs Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign) and tested out Affinity Photo last night. Went for a poor man's Kim jung gi approach with nothing specific in mind. I think I'm mostly happy with Affinity Photo for my needs. As another thread pointed out it's 50% and there's a 90 day free trial so there's not too much to lose.

    • So I made a book!

      Good morning, afternoon, and night! Back in September 2020 I stepped down from my 15 year retail management career because my wife and I had no childcare since the kids were going to school remotely (that blasted pandemic!). I joined SVS in November and "the guys" said to "create what you want to do." That had a big impact on me so I wrote this 32 page story and after about 4 months I finished illustrating it and it's for sale on Amazon!

       https://www.amazon.com/Dont-Feed-Ducks-Jeremiah-Brown/dp/B08Y4RLQNJ/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=don%27t+feed+the+duck+book&qid=1615210165&sr=8-2
      

      If you like it let me know and if you don't like it I would love criticism. I'm very new to this and don't have many artist friends so I've relied on Youtube, SVS, and these forums to grow as a storyteller/illustrator. Thanks to all of you on the forums! You've been so helpful!

    • Yeti WIP cooking spot or not?

      Happy Tuesday! So my wife and I watched Critique Arena last week and stayed for the spot illustration discussion at the end and when she saw me working on this month's entry she thought the version with the blue sky was more of a full illustration vs. the background-less version which she thought was more of a spot illustration, again, based on the discussion after the Arena. I sort of agreed with her but figured I'd pose this question to you all. Thank you for any of your thoughts! (I'll admit it... I added a bit of "cute" for this entry.)

      I love the gaze between the elephant and fish @chrisaakins! Seems adorably accurate to me.

    • RE: So I made a book!

      @Tiffany-Thomas btw, I ended up just resizing the images to a square to work with Amazon. I had done most of them by the time you messaged and it was easier than I anticipated so I went with that. Thanks again for the suggestion though and if you do use that website let me know how it goes!

    • RE: Jake Parker and Todd Mcfarlane brothers?

      @Molambo Haha, I was thinking father too but went with brother. Yeah, agreed, it's crazy what Todd Mcfarlane is trying to do with his expanded Spawn universe now. More power to him!

    • Jake Parker and Todd Mcfarlane brothers?

      Okay, so they aren't brothers and this might be a waste of time for some of you and if so I apologize for that but they look very similar don't they?! I learned about Jake Parker after joining SVS back in November '20 and immediately thought the resemblance was uncanny (I grew up in the power age of Image comics) but I had no one to tell who would care.

      It seems this facial structure could be a key ingredient in the recipe for artist genius/talent? I've inspected my children's faces and they don't match so I believe they are going to have to work a little harder for artistic success.

    • RE: Feedback for updated Portfolio?

      @Nathalie-Kranich Your work looks excellent! I'm no professional but my first reaction when I opened your website was that your first 3 images on the main page aren't your most eye catching nor are they representative of your capability (they're a bit generic). It wasn't until I scrolled down just past those 3 pieces that I started reacting with, "Oh wow! These are great!" Get rid of or move those and I think you'll better hook potential patrons in my opinion.

      Keep up the great work. Really impressive stuff!
