Inspiring Artist: Jeremy FenskeEDIT// Please favorite this journal so that other people can see this feature
Ahh, normally I don't do this kind of sharing and featuring stuff for non-dA artists, but I
recently (or rather, finally) stumbled across the art blog of my mentor ~shark-bomb's
Concept Art teacher who works at Zenimax Online Studios, a gaming
company basically, and at a VERY young age, I found him to be very amazing and
admirable.
Thanks to my wonderful mentor I have had the opportunity to talk to Jeremy Fenske personally
and ask him plenty of questions about his job and his art, as well as sit in on his Tuesday night
class in which he was looking over student group projects and doing live digital painting
demos (like a cool little in-class livestream almost); where he took student homework
of environmental concepts and taught/showed ways and tricks to improve them,
painting over the originals with demonstrations to his thought and action process. In
roughly 20-30 minutes, he transformed a good en

o 7 oi'm up so late at night.
this is the best time for me to draw, since my creative juices flow best without my medication-- which has worn off long ago.
But i'm too tired to spazz out, and alas nobody else is around... which means nobody to spazz at either.
Therefor, i'm better off at this time of night, but then again, i'm lonely.
I think i'll go to bed.
But i felt like posting something.
Perhaps when i'll get up i'll design some of those things i've been meaning to for a while, and then try to get some more commissions.
By the way, it's my birthday coming up-- as well as Tir and Stoler's.
I would so love it if you guys could draw Tir for me for my birthday-- it would make me overjoyed.
I love every picture that i get from all of you.
I've never received birthday art before-- except from Zid.
unless i'm forgetting some, in which case i'm terrible.
Speaking of Tir and Stoler-- I have some pictures of Tir to upload again for you guys, since i've had a few ask for him.
He's my baby, so i'd

Needing Commissions badly...my cat was mysteriously injured and required an expensive trip to the vet yesterday. could have been a fight, some ass hat with a bee-bee gun, even a foxtail in his eye, the vet couldnt tell. if anyone is interested, i will be doing cheap commissions to try to offset the now gaping hole in my finances.
i am offering small watercolor paintings of the type you normally see me post here - mostly animals ranging from cartoony to semi-realistic. sized at either 4x6 or 5x7 they will be easily framable.
prices will go between $20-$50usd depending on size and subject detail.
This is Killer after his expensive vacation, er... trip to the vet. He will recover, but will likely be blind in his left eye for the rest of his life.

thank you all for your interest and help. i know money is tight for everyone right now, so it's really appreciated.

WandaWe once had a dog. Her name was Wanda; she had long, golden fur and blue eyes.
She died in a car-accident when I was twelve. There was never a new Wanda.
It wasn't before Wanda's death that I all of a sudden noticed that my parents were put together in small bits and pieces. A complicated system and a highly developed pattern were holding up my parents appearances.
Every day I was afraid that one of them would just fall apart and turn into dust before my feet and leave me all alone in the world. That's what Wanda did.
She took away my family. My dad turned stiff after the accident. His movements were cut in paper, and his coffee smell

Art thieves and you : A guide

by =sockjuice, Feb 7, 2013, 4:24:51 PM
Journals / Personal

So you've found someone whose stolen an adopt! What do you do?
Here's a handy little guide :

> Tell the original artist that their work has been stolen
> Report the deviation and the user for art theft
> Wait

I cannot- and I'm serious, I CANNOT stress this enough :

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONTACT THE ART THIEF/TROLL IN ANYWAY APART TO TELL POTENTIAL BUYERS THAT THE ADOPTABLES ARE STOLEN

I just
I see this so often and it's the most frustrating thing
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO CONVINCE THEM STEALING IS WRONG
YOU WILL NOT ACHIEVE ANYTHING EXCEPT UPSETTING YOURSELF OR GETTING FRUSTRATED

I know it might seem fun to try and annoy them or argue or "troll them back" but you are not going to be achieving anything of worth; chances are they're just enjoying the attention you're giving them. You are encouraging them to keep stealing art and pissing people off, so just ignore them and try and help them get banned or the deviations removed.

ok thank u
now i have to go to class BUT I HOPE U ALL PAY ATTENTION TO MY WISE WORDS OF WISDOM

Now I'm actually paranoid that my adoptables may also be floating around on the net where I don't want them to be. I think I'm going to run a quick check. D:

awhh, don't worry about it too much ; v ; generally if you watermark your work, it won't get stolen that much but it is a good idea to be careful!

Something similar happen to me.
I did the wrong step in the guide.

=GreetingsFromHell Feb 8, 2013 Student General Artist

I try not to say anything because then they'll know I'm on to them and might just take the deviation down. I like to get them in trouble

I'm so petty!

it is hard to resist replying and being mean back, but it only encourages them |D so try and avoid it when possible ;w;
