Well, after working with the Wacom 9x12 for a while I've opted to sell it for a smaller one. So hopefully by this fall I'll have the medium sized Intuos4 5x8 instead. That one might be a little more comfortable to work with. We'll see...

In between working on Legolas, I've been brainstorming ideas for my first couple of illustrations using Photoshop and my Wacom Intuos3 tablet. Man this is fun stuff if I can get the hang of it.... and it could open up a whole new area of art for me. We'll see how it goes! I've been so consumed with learning digital illustrating lately that I've been neglecting my drawings though.... I'd better spend a good chunk of time this weekend working on Legolas!

I finally have a little bit of a break! I've started playing around with Vue again, trying to create a new scene. I'm trying to create icebergs, but for some reason I can't get the material to look right on the big ones, which may be a good thing because it almost looks more like a fantasy scene now. I think I'll keep it that way :)

My latest portrait is finished! I still have a few more to do, but I hope the client likes this!

Well, unfortunately I've had to put my Legolas drawing on hold in order to do a few commissioned portraits. Cash comes before leasure apparently :) As soon as I finish this portrait, I will add it to my site so everyone can see it. Actually I have four commissions to do.... so I'll be pretty busy into next year. And then..... finally... I will be able to work on finishing Legolas again. So stay tuned!

I've signed up with Zhibit and started playing around with new colors and layouts for my website. I hope everyone likes it! I still have to upload the rest of my work, but that will be complete soon...
