Imagine FX 30 as it turns out...

Anybody here seen a copy of Imagine FX 29? I'm supposed to have a little snippet feature in a traditional artists' gallery and I have no clue if it's in issue 29 or issue 30 maybe? :confused: If anyone has a copy of either and could give me a heads up that would be great!

I'm crazy busy at the moment sculpting for Bowen Designs and I couldn't be happier. Hopefully I can share some photos of those projects soon because I really think it's the best work I've ever done ever.

Plus I started working out again after I hit my 33rd birthday about a week ago. I figured I'm still too young to look this bad so I gotta get back to hitting the weights. ;P

Take care guys! Hope you are all doing well! =D

Walter

EDIT: Big thanks to =Feather-Dancer for letting me know that my Imagine FX debut is actually in issue #30. She even went thru the trouble of scanning the page so I wouldn't have to wait a month to see my own ugly face in print! She's good people! =D

-------------------------------------------

ACRYLIC PAINTING TUTORIAL - Direct link pages to the tutorial I made for my painting of the Shiflett Brothers' character, Ol' Scratch, have been created by all around badass, Simon Lee, of Spiderzero Interactive Media. He was gracious enough to replicate the pages and host them directly on the site, so we're no longer at the mercy of imageshack to make sure all of the images in the tutorial load properly! =D

Tutorial page 1 = [link]
Tutorial page 2 = [link]

Thanks Simon! YOU RULE!!!

All I can say after looking through your gallery is...you're insanely talented as an artist. Period. The sculptures make me want to (as silly as this sounds) try my hand at the craft :'D But seriously, your artwork is incredibly inspiring. Good luck with all of your future endeavors :heart:

haha thanks, for responding. I was thinking about taking some figure drawing classes to help on my poor poor anatomy skills.
One more question. how long does it take usually, for you to make and complete a sculpture. Just curious.

I went to school for illustration but I taught myself how to sculpt thru the power of the internetz. However, I learned all my anatomy stuff thru taking figure drawing classes in college. If you wanna learn anatomy then there is really no substitute. Figure drawing classes for the win! =D

sorry excuse the spelling mistakes, it's late >.<
~Tsurera:iconTsurera: May 3, 2008, 1:25:21 AM
I like what i've seen of you sculpture work so far. So did you got to school for that? And did you study human anatomy? Because you form seems pretty good =)
