Hey
DalishRanger, thanks for checking out my other work, glad you like it! As for getting into this industry, don’t discount it too quickly. True, it is hard to break in, but if you have the basic skills perseverance can get you a good way down the road to nailing that job. I myself am self taught.
I did a Graphics Degree, but that couldn’t have been further away from the development of traditional skills if you tried. I came out of Uni, saw what other illustrators and concept artists were doing, busted my gut for a year and finally caught a lucky break. I’ve been doing this for about 4 years now. I thought Concept Art was one of those jobs that only ‘other people’ landed, turns out that wasn’t the case.
Angry Finn – Many thanks! Yeah I definitely had the old Star Wars posters by Drew Struzan in the back of my mind whilst doing this.
LovelyJubley – Ha! Yeah I was always drawn to the paints at Kindergarden…though I think my preferred method was blowing paint around a paper plate with a straw…not much call for that in my work these days ;P As for Jacob, the only reason he isn’t in this piece is because it’s partially related to my play through of ME2 and I simply didn’t use him a lot. That’s not to say I didn’t like the character, it was just for me personally when you can choose ancient Asari warrior monks and cold blooded alien assassins there wasn’t much of a contest.
To be honest I don’t actually like Jack a great deal, but I had a good pose for her that worked within the composition, so I chose her over Legion. If I do more pieces, Jacob may get a look in there, just depends what I’m going for.
FlintlockJazz – Cheers dude, glad you’re liking Miranda
