Stab stab. Just practice, really...no particular purpose in mind. I've been looking at photos of rad Chinese bronze weapons, and really digging the production art for Age of Conan.

The implied texture turned out really nicely.

If you don't already have a job in the industry, you will be able to get one without any trouble.

I don't know what I want anymore :P It's a problem.
Thanks though. Gotta keep plugging away...my skills/abilities have such giant gaping chasms of suckitude it's not even funny.

You're so far ahead of me in every conceivable way, hearing you say that your skills are massively lacking is sort of a giant punch to the gut. I'm very confused.

I wrote a HUGE long response, but it boils down to: I have some critical stuff missing...some of it is fundamentals (rendering forms properly, understanding light and color, anatomy), some of it is "visual library" related (Pop quiz! Draw a cat from memory! Now dog! Now lizard! Now Ferrari! 5 kinds of clothing fasteners!), and MUCH of it relates to focus, pacing, motivation/enjoyment of making art, handling criticism, and so on.
So don't worry about your own (amazing) skills just because I happen to be totally neurotic :P

If you're up for it, we could make a trade. If you would be willing to train me a bit on how you paint environments, I can help you with light and color and anatomy. I have a lot of resources at my disposal that I'm willing to share. Your one of the heroic artists that I look up to, so it would be my honor.

Hey, that's very generous of you. I'd be happy to pass on what little I know about environments :P You might have to ask specific questions, though!
I'm going to be away for a few weeks as of next week, but I'll be around in the new year.

I like what you did here in portraying the material it's made from, as well as defining the contours and patterns on the weapon. The colors also masterfully manipulated, if i may say so. A simple pic, but tons to learn from for a meager artist like myself.
