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?
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.

Sometimes I can't tell the difference between hard work and killing time.
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!
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...)

the limited colours is from me trying to keep my work more traditional and back before european contact most northwest tribes used mainly black and red paint and used the colour of whatever they were painting on, some tribes also had some greens and blues. I have experimented with different colours before but they often dont look quite right to me and I love how red and black go together.
as for pointers for my approach I am self taught but I grew up surrounded by these shapes my entire life so they have had a huge infuence on me and how I approach it now is hard to explain since it has got to the point where I just draw. however when I first started out I used some northwest coast art book for reference and since you live near seattle you should have no problem finding any, the main one i used was called learning by design or something. I can explain more but I should get back to work.
