Moar book stuff

Journal Entry: Thu May 1, 2008, 1:04 PM
I'm mostly posting this journal to get the previous one off my page, since it's about a month old now and the topic is hardly current. So I'll just take the occasion and be happy about the fact that these two:



got picked for D'artiste: Digital Painting 2 by Ballistic. Yay!

Which leaves me even more puzzled about their selection process than before, as I had two completely different images shortlisted for this book. Go figure, I'm not complaining though. :aww:

:trout:


Other than that, not a whole lot to say. I'm up to my ears in commissions right now, so while I may accept new ones, the completion time isn't of the shortest at the moment. Either way, e-mail if interested and we'll see.

:trout:


And now for some pretties. There really isn't much I can say about =viag's works that isn't completely obvious - i.e. they kick ass. The colors are vibrant, the compositions are dynamic and the environments are involving. See for yourself:




:trout:

Funny, your highly detailed artwork looks touched up in Photoshop too, but you don't see me attacking and accusing YOU to get a cheap laugh. Pompous cow.

So the people of Square-Enix can´t use the works of the participants for their own good without the artist´s consent?

I think just like you about the topic. I don´t like what they wanted to do.
But now I am in the dilemma of taking part in the contest or not, because the presentation of works ends tomorrow. :S

Whatever, I really estimate your opinion and your help! :)

I love your work. "Fall" inspired the beginning of my next novel project.

Up to you, really. Well they updated the contest with a disclaimer (sort of) that the submissions won't be used for that particular game, although I still dislike the whole principle. =p But er yeah, as I was saying, it's entirely up to you what you do with your works. ;p

Holly f*ck!

I´ve submitted some works for that competition and I didn´t know about this!!!

Square-Enix has disappointed me! T-T

Tell me, what must I do?
Edit my works for the competition and change the the category of "Contests & Projects> Contests> 2008> The World Ends with You " to wich category?

I´m grateful for the information.
