The Happy Haps

Exciting things are going on in the art world lately, so I thought I'd share some with the (few) people who actually read this.

1. While I didn't make it into ImagineFX, a good friend and schoolmate of mine, Lake Hurwitz, did! So congrats to Lake. His work can be found here

2. Over at ArtOrder (which you should be reading, if you don't already), Jon Schindehette has touched on the importance of mentors in art. He has also put out a call for mentee applications. I thre my name in the hat, and so should any other aspiring artists who would like to take a crack at being mentored by someone who has a lot of experience and knowledge to pass along.

3. Blizzard is running their annual Blizzcon fanart contest again this year. The deadline is Sept. 27th and the prizes are pretty epic. Go check it out!

Been working mostly on my WoW project lately (and a series of Planeswalker fanart to submit to MtG someday), which I've decided to save for posting until it's done. Instead of leaking out images one or two at a time, I'd like to release the entire thing in one massive post. So that will be coming around March. However, I do have some designs for Queen Azshara that I decided against for several reasons.





And a quick sketch commission for a friend. I really need to work with pencils more.



I will start posting my studies here once I find time to scan them. Maybe I'll just copy Hannes, spread them out on the floor, and take a picture of them to save time.
