Live Stream Mondays are Back!

Hey everybody! Getting back into the swing of things now :)! Started on my first download tonight on the LiveStream. I was hoping to have it listed for $1 but am slowly finding out how much it actually costs to host videos/use the pay services for downloads. I'm trying to figure out how to use Paypal to possibly host it(not sure how everybody else uses that service?). Of course I'm very new to all this so I have no idea what I'm talking about haha.

If any of you have ideas please email me - rapozaster@gmail.com

I'd love to get some super cheap stuff out in HD but am having a lot of trouble figuring out how to do it.

Anyways, I'll be updating more often with good questions I encounter while on the LiveStreams and will do some long answers! I'll also be posting up a pretty lengthy interview I did for a blog in the next couple days. In the meantime though... Check out this cropped preview of the goofy character I worked on tonight(half in LiveStream and half on my own recording in HD).

I've been asking around about the downloads and hopefully soon I'll hear something back. I'd love to get this stuff out there as soon as possible. Gonna wrap up this guy in the next couple days and am hoping to be able to deliver on the video.

If all else fails I'll just have to try another avenue or maybe somebody can help me figure out how to setup a shop haha. Wish I wasn't such a novice at all this technical stuff :(.




So yea...

Live Stream Mondays are back! Every Monday @6pm EST!

Metal! Blind Guardian - "Valhalla"

All Caught up!

Lately I've been really focused on my art and how I spend my time. Also on whats important and what gives me more energy. I find that if I do the studies in the morning, work til around lunch then go out and do whatever for a little bit I can come back to my art with a much better mindset(and a more confident mindset). I know thats kinda common sense but sometimes its really hard to wrap your mind around it when you feel like  your schedule wont allow time off... Not that I'm going out for hours, but just down the road for a hike or a swim. I used to just go all in totally focused on my goal and would do nothing but. Now that I'm really paying attention to the results I can see how my mind really approaches art and how a healthy mind creates.

Also as I do this I can see how much more I get done with a fresh energized mind as opposed to sitting all day staring at a piece. But its hard to force yourself to know when its time to quit hanging out and go all into work. Going out always puts my mind into active mode haha, constantly thinking about how I should skateboard more and all this. I'm really trying to just switch that part of myself off as soon as I sit down to avoid distraction. Mainly though my focus has been on keeping my inspiration and really trying to find out how to recreate that feeling all the time. So this routine works for creating that inspiration for now... Hopefully it'll continue on!

So heres some quick concepts I've been doing for the team CHOW over on conceptart.org.
