Time most certainly flies, whether you're having fun or not. It dawned on me that I haven't been drawing lately and my curiosity got the better of me. I decided to check the last time I submitted hand drawn art and, to my surprise, it's been just over a year. Even then, the submitted art wasn't anything I put serious effort into. Just some quick sketches to keep me busy while sitting in my car outside of work. The last "real" graphite drawing I put effort into was my Juli fanart pic from March 7, 2012, more than two years ago. I rarely get an urge to do it anymore. I'm always thinking of characters and ideas, but they're usually more realistic and fleshed out like a 3d model and I rarely think of them in fantasy costumes. I still have my passion to create, but it leads me to wonder if I'm losing the interest in actually drawing them out. It makes a me a little uncomfortable to think it but my actions are showing the validity of the thought. I'm thinking I should try to dedicate some time just to drawing, or at least trying to, but am unable to make myself any promises. Hmmm

Long time no upload. I've been working on a few renders but haven't been uploading because I've been rebuilding every characters from the ground up, using the genesis 2 female, which takes a long time. Instead of just doing a standard rebuild, I've also been spending more time trying to understand the sub-surfacing of skin and other rendering methods. I'll try to start uploading again when I'm happy with what I'm seeing

As the title states, I am asking for requests. I'm at a point where I don't feel like I'm really pushing or challenging myself and would like some assistance in the matter.  I'm primarily looking for request in the traditional media templates,  so no 3d stuff (yet).  I won't be able to do everything but feel free to ask for ANYTHING. Whether it be man, woman, animal, creature,  monstrocity,  environment, object,  etcetera don't be afraid to ask.   As long as it isn't pornographic or overly vulgar.  I don't cross those lines.   I'll respond and let you know directly if I'm shooting for it. These are not commissions so you need not worry about a fee.

You can make multiple requests.  Let's see how this goes.

Sooo....Occasionally I order prints of my work, in poster size, through places like zazzle or cafepress. I recently found out that Walmart does prints and decided get a few test prints through them, in 8x10, to see what their quality was like. I sent the Blanche and Mirrah WIP sheets, along with the Diana: Let Your Hair Down piece.  I go to pick them up and and that's where the "fun" begins. When I arrive for pickup they have them in an envelope marked "Professional". Turns out, they thought the works were professional and started asking for copyright release forms and all other sorts of documentation. My response? "They aren't professional and they aren't even photos." They would not give me my own work. How can I give a release form on something that isn't copyrighted? I showed them everything I could to prove it, including forwarding them here where both my name and photo can be found in my profile, right along side all the pics. He says that's not enough. I had to fight with them for over 25 minutes before they'd even let me get them. They called some official hotline and even made me sign waivers stating it's mines and threatening me with FBI investigations and violations, if it's determined I was printing another persons work. In short, it was a serious pain in the butt, and left a VERY sour first impression. I understand the need to protect content but it was a total overreaction in my opinion. How much proof can I possibly provide, short of bringing in my comp and showing the PSD files layer by layer? I figured I could use them to get cheap prints just to have copies of my character sheets, but if I have to go through that every time I want something printed, all the value is lost. I'll try a different Walmart and see what happens, as the quality was nice, but there won't be three strikes. It happens a second time, there's a very close curb Walmart will be tossed to.
