Hi folks.

I'm sure from what you can see, everything has been put into storage. As much as I loved the art I created here on DeviantART, it has been many years since I've done work of this particular style.


I've been doing new digital and traditional art that I'll be posting over the next few weeks. The style is completely different from my previous digital fetish work, so I understand if you feel the need to un-watch my account, as this is not the content that drew you to watch anyways.


I'm also spending a good amount of time streaming on Twitch, at twitch.tv/spookeriffic and I hope I'll see you there sometime :)


Keep an eye out for shiny new materials in the near future! And so it begins!

Hi!  I've been doting around my office, creating various artwork - paintings, pen & ink, cute animal in vector... but I haven't done any 3D ladies.  Today I reinstalled PoserPro11 and I'm giving it another go.  The problem I'm having is with my budget (which I admit, is kinda terrible) I can't afford to keep up with the new and best models.  I'm still using V4/A4/G4, and in some cases A3/V3, and working with what I've got.  Hopefully I'll be able to squirrel aside some funds sometime soon and pick up some merch from Renderosity and Daz3D (do they even support V4 anymore?).

In the meantime, I'll try to provide you the best quality content that I can, and as always I'm open to suggestions on outfits, colors, and model types.  Thanks!

Zedd.

Hallo!
School's about to start and despite graduating, I'm taking an extra class - Archaeological Science. Starts Tuesday.
I started a new painting this week, it's 30"x40", acrylic on canvas. The colors are coming across very nicely, except I'm struggling with the hair - it keeps turning muddy. Color mixing was never my strong suit. I posted a sketch/wip for comparison. I think the most annoying part is because of the size, I have to stand to paint. It's uncomfortable.
Hopefully I'll have this finished in the next week or so.


Working on building up a budget for new equipment: a Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer and paper, a Logitech C920 webcam and accompanying swing arm (for streaming live painting), a banner for art shows... I really want to get my paintings out there. Patreon didn't pan out so I'll have to just bite the bullet and hopefully make enough to cover the costs. I'd really like to see my art be successful, so we'll see where this goes. Got a few sketches in the works for some smaller paintings - while I love working large it's a bit impractical time-wise - one already started and a few still getting the kinks worked out.

That's it for now, everyone have a great weekend!

Wow. It's been a while!
A lot has happened in the time I've been gone.  The last two and a half years I've been showing some paintings at a small gallery in Centro Ybor, Tampa, Florida.  I've been very busy with school and am set to graduate this month with a Bachelor's degree in Anthropology.  I've gotten a little burned out on the paintings at the moment, so I went back to doing vector work.  I've been making minimalist movie posters in my spare time, as well as the new vector stuff I started posting here.  Very 80's vibe going on.
I've got a few things in the works, I'd like to get some prints going again, if I can get my DA membership back up and running.  We're trying to plan for showing at NecronomiCon here in Tampa in October, but I 'm waiting to hear back from the Art Show director.

Hopefully I'll have more groovy artwork posted in the near future!

Exciting News!

Wow, it's been almost a year since I last posted!  And it's been some year!

I got through my secondn year of community college with flying colors, and graduated in May 2015 with an AA in Liberal Arts.  I've been accepted to University of South Florida for their Anthropology Program, and I start in August.  I'm excited and apprehensive.  Three 4000-level Anthropology classes and a foreign language (ASL) seems like such a heavy courseload.  Hopefully I can manage the greater tress that comes with University life.

The art front has been SUPER busy!  I've been picked up by a local co-op gallery here in Tampa: Wandering Eye Art Gallery.  They were showing six pieces of my artwork (the paintings, not the digital stuff), until this past Saturday, when one sold!  I've only been with the gallery for a month and a half, and getting a sale is pretty exciting!  I've got some new stuff in the works, including a huge 40"x30" painting that I just finished last week.  I'm preparing to get some prints made up to sell at the gallery, I'll be starting with about ten prints in the beginning, and seeing where they go from there.

All in all, despite some serious financial difficulty, things are going pretty well.  If you like, take the time to visit my portfolio blog at artpunxstudio.com

Ta!
