Paper Bagging it

Dream Quest Project


Flash Player 8 is required to view SitBack. Get the latest version of Flash Player.
This is my current project for my independent art study class. I am working from the book Dream Quest to Unknown Kadath by H.P. Lovecraft in where I am going to create 6 to 7 fully developed and filly rendered creature/character concepts which I will then use as a master copy reference sheet for later illustration. Hopefully I will be able to complete two to three illustrations before the end of this semester, but I will continue the project even past this.

Well pretty soon I am going to stop selling prints on DA as they take too much of the profit and charge too to the customers so I will be printing, shipping and selling my own prints. I plan on keeping the prices for my prints to be affordable but at the same time give me a good profit so that I live.

So this coming Winter I will be finally putting together an actual website that will have contact info, a blog, a gallery and a on-line shop. The shop will be done through pay-pal. Also the prints will all be high quality prints on good paper and with good ink plus I will be able to control how they come out so that they match my master copies.

The price will be determined by how much a particular print costs to print with a mark up for profit based on that and lastly the cost of taxes and shipping. My goal is to send high quality but at a reasonable price.

We take in information from the world around us and intuitively re-order it into something new. Something is not created from nothing but simply transformed from what was before.

King-Rastel's 10th Top Ten Picks

Welcome to the my Tenth top ten feature. Sorry for the delay of the post but I recently acquired a new computer so I have had a “fun time” installing and transferring files. We have a good turn out however only ten shall reach the title of top ten picks and receive a promotional critique but the runners up will still get featured. Everyone please give these people your love, comments or favorites.

King-Rastel’s Top Ten:
The top ten selected are in no particular order and does not signify that anyone is better than another because art is often subjective and all art has worth.

A woman's look by =dezkenob1 :icondezkenob1:
This artist is really on the way to becoming a master of rendering the graphite. It takes a lot of patience and skill to get to this level.


Sunset I by *SvanderHolst :iconsvanderholst:
A truly awesome shot that shows that under the right conditions, skill and vision the simplest of places can become magical. This piece shows knowledge of directional line, color, silhouette, and the rule of two thirds.


Amelie's Mind Hoard. by ~Jella-bella :iconjella-bella:
This is truly a wonderful concept and execution. It is full of style, imagination, and is worthy of praise.


If Only In My Dreams by `touchedvenus :icontouchedvenus:
This is a piece full of vision that has been executed well into an excellent composition, it really gets to the point of what the artist was thinking.



Nothing compares to you by ~dandelioncorona :icondandelioncorona:
This is a wonderfully artistic manipulation that brings you into a whole different reality. Not only did this drawn my attention because of the skill level but also because of the contrast of the grayscale that almost suggest color.


cyber-connect by ~poompoom :iconpoompoom:
This is really a very cool design with a lot of thought and implementation. Very creepy.


No Need to Paint the Roses by ~wisterium :iconwisterium:
A wonderful combination of design elements and technique. It is quite enjoyable to see the flow of the pose and the linework. Sexy and innocent at the same time.

Beyond the stars by ~tucc :icontucc:
Rendering white on toned paper always produces a very striking result which creates an instant chiaroscuro but when done with skill and patience the results are even better.


A Roman's Holiday by ~Twilight-Aura :icontwilight-aura:
A fantastically angled shot that really gives one the feeling of getting away from it all.



King-Rastel’s Runner Ups:
Just because these artists did not make the top ten picks it does not mean that they are no less deserving of a feature. These artists were in serious consideration for the top ten picks so they deserve loving as well.

To all remaining participants
I would like it to be known that I payed equal attention to everyone who participated in this feature and I would appreciate anyone who would also pay a visit to their galleries as well.

When you sell a print, Do deviant art supply the materials. Do they print the picture for you?
