Thank you to everyone who has given me great encouragement over the last couple of years! I'm looking forward to graduating this December (finally!) and making this gallery a great launching pad for my formal portfolio.

So the summer ended nicely. Long road trip across the entire top side of these United States. Everything is beautiful from about mid-Indiana westward. East is all just urban gross and toll roads. Saw my folks, saw Joe's folks, and saw lots of great places that I *started* to blog about and write insightful, witty stories about but, in my typical fashion, never finished. The pictures are still mostly in my camera. (I can't find my cables...) My life is one big long "To Do" list.
I've got some new things to post, and like always, they are about 85% - 93% of what I'd like to actually accomplish. I'm perpetually in a state of B-plus-ness

Hey Terri,
It's Darrel from school. I've had me a DA page for about a month now and figured I'd stop by. I don't have near as much stuff as you do at the moment. My stuff is pretty much works in progress. I've got about 15 pages of comic work that I well by showing the progression from pencils to inks to colors and so on.
I think once I get some colored stuff posted I'll be getting more hits...I hope. Peoples do likes the colors.
Any way...just saying hi...stop by the page and check stuff out. Oh hey, is it me or has school became more of a pain in the butt? I mean I keep having to buy friggin 3DS MAX every damn year. I just opened that sucker up yesterday and it says that I only have 19 days left to use it. Have you been able to find a copy of it that doesn't have only a 1 year license?

Hi, Darrel!
Nope, sorry. I got the student licensed version from the bookstore for $400. I spent some saved up holiday gift money to get it. I wish I could help you out on this one. Software company marketing geniuses are all in league with Satan.
It's good to have you drop by! I haven't been here, myself, in ages. Nothing new to be able to post or worth posting, I guess. Not that I'm very happy with much of anything in my gallery, currently. But I've accepted that I have achieved a stable level of mediocrity that is, at least, inoffensive.

Hey Terri,
I took your advice on the whole software thing (Where's my eyepatch! Arrgh! Ya darn right Arrgh!) and now have full versions of 3Ds Max 2009, Photoshop CS4, and Illustrator CS4. So damn the man I'm good for the rest of the school I have left. I just hope I can make it to December of next year.
Heck, I have no idea what I'm going to do once I get this degree. Me and the wife are hoping that I can score a job somewhere in the Washington area because her sister lives up there. I really feel I'm going to have to improve massively though. I feel I really stink at animating and 3D modelling. Heck, even my art is so so, but who knows right?
I'm honestly glad (and this sounds weird) that me and the wife filed bankruptcy. It wiped out $36,000 dollars of my private student loans. I was psyched in all honesty. So I get a nice half priced degree! YAY!
Maybe my comic book company will actually take off and I can do that for a living and then later start hiring video game people to put out games for me. I'll be the next George Lucas just without the wookie hairdo and beard.
Here's to hoping. I've been working on this dang comic thing for months now, putting in 16 hours a day so I hope it goes somewhere LOL. I really need to get some more artists in on this. My hands are starting to hurt from drawing so much!
Anyways...that's my rant. OH! By the way I read your story of Milly the grim reaper. Awesome stuff. You're a very talented writer as well as artist. Just keep it up. The only way you get somewhere is by moving forward, right?
Laters!

Oof. Bankruptcy. Dude. I hope that doesn't haunt you. Artists have the shittiest position in the race to fame and fortune, I swear. Good hopes for your comic book! Storyboards are a big market, if I remember correctly from all of the career research done for various classes. And that's a great place for a comic book artist to go, I think. You already work in panels! No freedom for sizing panels, of course, but compositionally, you've got the edge.
I'm still looking at paying my tuitions in full as soon as a I graduate. Fortunately, I'll do anything. I think I can, anyway. Washington state is a great place for gamers. Better than Texas, I think, if only because the commutes are shorter and its so much prettier here. I'm hopeful! (Even though I suck at interviews...)
