Art stuff

Good news: I should be posting some stuff relatively soon! I can't say whether it will be a regular occurrence or not, but we'll see how it goes. :)

Groups

vexelove

Unfortunately due to my life becoming progressively more hectic, I had to step-down as contributor. I feel super guilty for leaving them in the lurch but I had to make a decision. I enjoyed working with the admin crew while I was there; truly a lovely bunch of people. Heart 

FortnightlyCharacter

Brilliant little group holds character design contests every fortnight. I just missed the deadline for this last one, but I'm committed to getting something in for the next round. For the illustrators that follow me, I implore you to get involved—it's a brilliant way to refine your skills and get involved in a community.

Manakala

A fun little group that I plan on contributing to when I have a moment. Have a geeze if you get a moment.

That's all...

I think. Until next time you lovable pieces of meat. :)

My bed is whispering sweet nothings in my ear, so please do pardon my brevity.


vexelove


I put myself forward for a contributor position over with the lovely people at vexelove, and the crazy buggers said yes! :P

At the moment we're looking to get the illustrious Super Group status again so we can utilise its power. Things is, we need some help. If you have any spare points—or feel like supporting a wonderful community—head on over to rjonesdesign's profile and tap that donate button. Big or small, donations are much appreciated. :)



Get your code on!




Great campaign. The services they recommend? Kinda meh if you ask me.

In light of this, I recommend you check out codeacademy.com. They've a lot of brilliant material over there. I'm working through the JavaScript lesson plan myself.


Art


..is kind of at a stand-still right now. I've gone from doing essentially nothing, to wanting to do 10+ hours of practice a day. That and trying to find a balance between school, life and my ambitions is proving to be quite the task. I'll figure it out...I hope.

Honey Boo Boo CHIIIILD!

That's right, I'm officially legal. At long last I can access pornographic material on the internet! :horny:


ERMAGHERD MOVING PICITURES!!


Game of Thrones, Kick Ass 2, other stuff I'm too ashamed of to admit...asdfghjkl. :iconeagerpee:

Hello lovely people of deviantArt, how are you (yes, I actually want to know)?

This is just a quick one to let you know that I haven't left dA or anything like that; I'm intently focused on improving myself and my art right now. Given that, there's a fair chance I won't be actively posting art here for a very long time. I'll still be answering notes and comments in a timely manner though.

At the moment I'm working through a backlog of 3000+ deviations, so my apologies to anyone being flooded with faves. A few months may have passed, but I'd still like to show you your art is appreciated. :)

If you're interested in all the arty-learny-stuff I'm working on, head over to my Tumblr: bdtdraws.tumblr.com
I'm even posting consistently now. :P

As usual, you can almost always find me lurking on twitter: twitter.com/bdt466

Have a lovely day.
Cheers, Brodie.

Long time no see. So, how are you all?

Art update...


So the whole 'going pro' thing's had its ups and downs. Mostly downs unfortunately.
I haven't been getting as much practice as I really should be. I may have time to throw away at the moment, but that will only last so long. If only I could just utilise all this free time I have now to achieve leaps and bounds in artistic progression, I'd be set.

"The obstacle?" you ask.

Me.

My issue's not that the motivation's not there, more that due to lack of direction, I've nothing to aim it at. Which basically leaves me wasting precious time.
There's just so much to learn - and though I've overcome the gravity of it all - I find myself wondering, "where do I begin?". To be honest, it has me seriously doubting myself. I know I can handle all of the actual work, but trying to carve the bloody path may be the thing that takes me under.

But alas, it's gonna take a shit-load more than this to stop me.

If you have any advice, by all means, let me know. I can use all the help I can get.

Onto other news...


- My keyboard is dead-ed, courtesy of a little puppy named Tyson. -_-
I've been without for about 1-2 weeks now, but another should be in my eager arms within another week...hopefully.

- I've got myself a little progression blog that I hope to keep updated on my -you guessed it - progress, which you can check out over on tumblr: bdtdraws.tumblr.com

And...

Ermahgerd, theEpics championship!!!


So the lovely ssst and LineBirgitte are hosting another round of theEpics!
It's essentially this bad-ass, artist-to-artist, 1-vs-1, mono-e-mono knock-out challenge. Join up now and maybe you'll have the opportunity to whoop my arse! :D

Oh, and you gotta check out my chibi character for the competition (you fucking rock Nastasia!)!
img.skitch.com/20120707-cnn329…

Did I mention that they'll make you a kick-arse, custom chibi if you enter?!

Further details are up on the homepage: theepics.deviantart.com



So that's about it from me. Have a wonderful day/night/evening. :)

Now, let's hope I don't ditch on you lot again.

ps. I'm writing this journal at an obscene hour (5:30 am this time 'round), so please pardon my spelling, grammar, and all that other bullshit. :)

Hey guys and gals, how are you all?

Down to bidness

Blood Donation


Just this past Friday I went and got my blood sucked for the second time :dummy:

It all went smoothly and I was pumping it out like no tomorrow. Oh, and afterwards I stooged my way into getting my fav chips n' gravy.

Artistic shiz


I haven't had all that much time lately but I'm hoping that may change soon :)

Vector stuff


I'm planning to enter a comp being run by the ever talented ChewedKandi with guest judge CrisVector. I don't really care for the prizes, I want to enter for the experience, to go against some of the best Vector artists this wonderful site has to offer. I will fail, miserably at that, but it will get me to push myself above and beyond, that is where progress is made :D chewedkandi.deviantart.com/art…

Also I have received my picture for the members for members collab which I will be starting work on soon :) vexelove.deviantart.com/journa…

Digital Paintings


I figured out how to shade! :iconcheerplz:
It's a sword by BDT466
I've actually gotten a lot better since then and I've also experimented with colour! I can now shade smoothly with minimal fuss. Next on the list of things to learn; perspective, colour theory, lighting, anatomy etc etc. There is so much to learn but I'm enjoying every second of it :)

As part of DA's 11th birthday celebrations they are holding a plethora of competitions and giveaways. I'm going to enter the Skribble contest personally, those prizes are making me drool. I'll be doing it as a digital painting, I won't win, but again it brings to the point that, competition gets me to push myself and pushing myself allows me to grow exponentially as an artist. ayame-kenoshi.deviantart.com/a…

Personal stoof


Well just the other day I had a massive breakdown :woohoo: So...that was fun :stare:
Good did come from it thought, I'm slowly sorting my shit out and getting all sorts of stuff sorted so yay :)

Dream job...crushed


Recently my fav company - Envato - opened up applications for an Online Community Officer. So I had a looky-loo at the requirements and all that jazz and...the job description fit me like a glove, it's essentially everything I'm good at, rolled up into a neat little bundle.

Long story short, I would have to travel 4-5 hours daily to work there, I love the company and the pay was awesome, but it would just take too much travelling, I would be bat-shit crazy by the end of my first week. Don't get me wrong, I very much doubt I would've actually gotten the job but I would've loved to try at least. All in all it made me a very sad Brodie :(

I think what really get's my goat is that, essentially, I could handle all of the work from my home since most, if not all of the work is based online. We could use skype for daily contact and I could travel up for meetings like once a week, twice even. That would be perfect! But I asked one of their employee's and he's confirmed that I would need to be at the office, every day :(

Conclusion


I'm tired so most of what I wrote above is probably iliterate garbage...ah well, shit happens.

I'll probably do some features and write some intellectual bullshit in an upcoming journal, but for now. I sleep....
