zakmorris %doodles %illustrators Another quick model sketch of a female. Somewhere she morphed into a euro male...but those models all look rather.....similar. Just started playing with the airbrush and contrast. Started going for a videogame cover/poster look as the brushes led that way......fun. 2009-12-18 08:15:41 UTC

zakmorris %doodles %illustrators Hola Blellowtopia, been a while. Hopefully working my way back into this side of life again. Gonna kick it of with a few recent artsy stuff... Sketch of a model in vogue then photoshop'd. Had no plan just played and it just kinda went the galactic path....go stargirl go. 2009-12-18 08:09:36 UTC

zakmorris Why, oh why, is it so easy to become consumed with someone else's project / job - but keeping motivated, focused, or just starting on personal projects seems sooooo difficult. Good thing I draw instead of smoke - cuz this is a frustrating theme. 2009-10-14 10:31:56 UTC

zakmorris It was time I made my own business cards so I tinkered around last night. I came up with the flame initials to correspond with the 'fyre' network I'm building. and it just so happened that Z and M are pointy. Let me know what you think. This is the front, purely presentational - back will have info. 2009-08-29 22:56:42 UTC

zakmorris %doodles Soooo I'm totally enamored with the upcoming MMO ' Aion ' - have been following it a long time. The art / world is breathtaking. A quick sketch of some kind of warrior-person. I loaded CS4 Photoshop last night...trying to paint this to learn my way around the tools as I know zero PS. 2009-09-02 01:19:15 UTC

zakmorris OK - I finally installed Adobe CS4 Master Suite (aww ya). I'm going to need every bit of the next 4-6 months to learn it. I don't suppose there is a reference out there that breaks these down a bit for purpose / workflow. Many of the products have very similar description for what they produce. 2009-09-02 01:35:25 UTC

zakmorris Ever notice how people that use the phrase ' think outside of the box ' are themselves not doing so by using such a cliche buzz-phrase ? 2009-08-26 17:30:24 UTC

zakmorris I'm on the final countdown ( 6 days ) to what is effectively 4 free months to do anything I want ( I laid myself off...couldn't do the cube-life any longer ). I have sooo many things on my in-head to do list: no idea how to go about doing it all ....16 weeks is gonna fly..... 2009-08-23 09:39:49 UTC

zakmorris Going to be attending a networking event Monday and need at least 50 business cards ( of some sort ) fairly quick -- anyone know a good online service for printing that quick and reasonably priced ? 2009-08-26 15:22:48 UTC

zakmorris %doodles SO, I have this big project with a tight deadline looming, naturally I let myself get sidetracked with art stuff. I sketched the Joker from Dark Knight as a doodle on canvas board a while back. Last night I decided I need to learn how to color a bit so gave it a try in PaintShop. serious? 2009-08-07 17:44:48 UTC

zakmorris Has anyone worked with / use Expression Engine ? A friend referred me to it and it looks A+ ...but wanted to ask the audience before horsing around with yet another CMS. 2009-08-06 14:30:59 UTC

zakmorris %doodles It's been a while and I have a few stashed up, but here's today's doodle. I've had some imagery stuck in my head revolving around the word ' solstice ' ..for no apparent reason and no 'goal' in mind....thats when things get sketchy.. /punpunpun 2009-07-16 23:10:57 UTC
