Gainful Employ

Thu Oct 22, 2009, 7:32 AM
Hey All!

It has been brought to my attention that having a Journal Entry up wishing everyone a "Happy Fourth" is kind of indicative of a lack of recent DeviantArt activity.

The simple explanation of which is: I HAS A JOB!

I am now in the full-time employ of 38 Studios as a character artist working on the top-secret upcoming project code-named "Copernicus".

So for anyone wondering where my work has been recently, it's all pouring into my job at the moment. (which has been an absolute blast! I get to geek out all day, and I feel thoroughly blessed. Life in the real-world after college? It does not suck.) I am consistently suprised that I am allowed to do this and get paid.

I've got a few side-projects going on, and I'll certainly keep y'all updated as those get done. I think I'll probably get settled into more of a groove as I get used to waking up in the "mornings" and going to sleep in the "nights". Novel, I know! But hopefully I'll eventually be generating some of my own personal work again. Time will tell, but do stay posted! I definitely like DA too much to totally abandon the front just because I got a job :)

Coming soonish: Iphone games, comics, covers, and more! And eventually, hopefully, I'll ship a REAL game!
Stay tuned! (And thanks TONS for your support and encouragement so far!)

Much Love,

-Nick

UPDATE:
I've just put in some last-minute plans to head to Boston Comic Con tomorrow. Anybody going to be there as well? I'll be the bearded guy with long hair and an extremely tall blonde dude in tow :) I may wear a silly hat. If you're there, please say "hi"! :)

I found your Bas-Lag stuff and thought it was great. Your whole gallery is nice.

PLEASE LOOK AT MY GALLERY! I NEED CRITICISM TO IMPROVE!

I'm someone just like you, who hates those who fave without commenting. I'll extend the same courtesy I expect: I will comment.

Wow...I randomly stumbled on your work after cruising thru other people's favorites--so glad I did :D

:iconthunderskull:
Gotta say, you're really great at creating expressons, humans, monsters, capturing and drawing motion and emotions to both creatures and scenaries. I like how you do your characters, their faces and just about everything in them c:
And your pictures just make me smile, they have that something in them (:

-Why didn't I find you any sooner... :|

So, wait, I asked this before, but which college do you go to? I'm interested in the character design class... And it seems like a college after me own 'eart.

-What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for power? gold? or is he simply born with a heart full of neutrality!?
:iconkparrish33:
yo dude, i just recently discovered your work and im a big fan. I was curious if you might ever post something that displays your coloring process specifically coloring your alphonse and domingo pages? What type of brush are you using in photoshop and how are you blending those colors to get those really soft shades? Thanks a bunch dude and keep up the amazing work! :ahoy:
