Luckily things are calming down just enough so I could turn my focus towards my very first commission! Woo! I recently opened up commissions to my gaming community that I'm part of as practice and a way to earn a bit of cash towards more tutorials, self-education and maybe a night out or two... nah. More tutorials. Brain food lasts longer than food-food... and if anyone knows me well enough they might be shocked by that statement. Anyway, silliness aside here is the character commission I did for a member in my gaming community, she wanted a painting of her Planetside 2 character with the new Oni helmet.

| My goal was to have the character come out of the shadows. Pretty happy with how it came out! |
Also here is an image of some quick iterations of the character, having spoke with the "client" she decided on the "cunning" pose.
Alright everyone, it's back to the drawing board to work on my next project!
Feel free to check out my portfolio on ArtStation! If you're interested in more of my doodles, sketches and general stuff than swing by my DeviantArt page for a look. Don't forget to check back here on my Blog to follow my journey as a self-taught artist. Every bit of support not only helps a ton, but also encourages me to continue striving for my dream. This first commission is a huge step forward towards my future!
I've got a lot on the plate so this should be exciting; one of my biggest tasks to tackle next is to redirect my portfolio towards concept art instead of illustrations. Thanks to some valuable input, I've realized I'm leaning too far into illustration and drifting away from conceptual art. I'd like to fix that. It's time to take what I've learned in this past year and run with it. Thanks for reading!
Wow. Awesome. :D
