I decided to try my hand at a few desktop wallpapers. Not sure how good -or bad- they are. My aging monitor seems a bit off -stuff that looks good to me seems to be too dark, too light or too saturated to other people; can’t figure it out. It’s also possible I screwed up the color space settings I guess.

Feedback appreciated.
I’m playing with a new Flash component by the folks at
| FlashExtension.NET.
It’s called the Particulator and it offers users an easy way to add some cool particle effects to their projects. You can adjust many parameters and object properties using sliders. Smoke, fire, sparks - it’s great to be able to do this right in Flash. Trial version available. Cool. Click Image for More Info …

I thought the post title had a clever ring to it - until I did a quick search on Wikipedia and realized why. That really was a gem, I’ll have to watch it again.
| Duck Amuck on Wikipedia
I wonder if anything we think is original? Maybe our ideas and inspired thoughts are nothing more than children, reborn of echoing footfalls? Ah well, it’s 1am, I’m tired, and I’m pretty sure that’ll sound like a bunch of malarkey when I get up in a couple hours. So, let’s talk about important stuff - ducks. I’m having a bit of a go figuring out how to draw those beaks and make them expressive. My wife wrote a short story for my son several years ago. It was a way to explain adoption. I decided to take a crack at illustrating it. As a result you’ll probably see a lot of ugly ducks for a while.

Yep, hard as it is to fathom -given my exquisite Mr. Potato physique and clam-like conversational skills- but two months after being laid off I am still seeking a new job! While I’ve enjoyed my countless hours chasing freelance opportunities, sending out resumes and making ramen noodles out of scrap paper (giving a whole new meaning to ‘going green’), I need a job!
I have a few items in a portfolio here
| http://bupaje.elance.com
and more information here http://www.linkedin.com/in/burtabreu I’d love any creative work but I particularly like kid art -children, not goats (though I guess they’re ok too), video game, educational, casual game art and anything else fun. I’m a year old in the industry, but I have a lifetime love of creative endeavors. So, what do you say? Be a peach and hire a pear today!

I started creating two beginner level Photoshop tutorials aimed at texture art. If that is something that interests you check them out.

I did a test image today while chasing down some freelance work for an indie rpg. Not sure if I’ll get the job, but it looks like it would be a fun project. If anyone reading this has worked on small rpg weapons/inventory item art I’d love to hear your tips or see some samples (I realized after I drew that dragon head that you can’t even see it at the 100×100 size it will be shown at).

I am working on creating content for my site and just made a few Brushes. I know there are tons out there, but if you can’t get enough you can download them from here.
| sv_wood_damage_1.zip
I made the brushes from images of fungus, rotten, cracked, gnarled, and axe bitten wood. I used one of the brushes along with some layer effects to create the moss, stamp some damage marks and with the eraser to expose a lighter wood layer beneath in a quick demo image. I didn’t add any presets so you’ll have to fiddle with the brush settings.

Just some rough sketches - I may clean up a couple of these in Flash.

I'm a 49 year old family guy who returned to school in 2005 to pursue a childhood dream of becoming an artist and writer. The first half of my life, I worked in many other fields, but at heart I have always been a storyteller, a creator and a dreamer. In May of 2007 I got my first creative job working as a digital artist at Animax Entertainment.
