Damn man, I'll have to say this is my favorite piece of yours so far - and that means a lot because everything else you do is just that effin' awesome.

Great design and lighting and color and composition and thumbnails and... well... everything. Keep inspiring the rest of us newbies. :)

I don't think it's your best work man, just because I think you consistently produce world class caliber work. You do work in your sleep that is better than some of the inside art of contemporary D&D rulebooks.

It's really great for this fan of yours to see you in Dragon magazine. Man, I've been reading that when I was a wee pumpkin. And now kids all over the world enjoy your art in it.

Happy for you. Muchly.

Thanks Adam. that`s very kind of you to say. :) hope all is well in Canada.

btw, is there any chance you know of any company there that might need a visual development/concept artist/2d artist? a company that will offer a relocation sponsorship of some kind? I`m in search of a job at the moment, and there`s NOTHING(!) here in Israel.

Well if you want a big studio that can possibly relocate you you're in luck with timing - THQ is right now hiring (finally!) a big wave of people to start a new studio. Also WB. Warner Brothers sound boring but they'll work on DC comics properties and they're hiring a lot too...I guess that's as good an opportunity in this town as ever since the volume of hiring is really high

Also THQ's site...

Good luck!

יפה מאוד
מפתיע אותי דווקה שהם הלכו על הסקאצ' הימני
השמאלי הקיצוני הרבה יותר מעניין לטעמי

תודה אסף.
האמת שהבחירה של הארט דירקטור לא הייתה הטעם שלי גם. אבל, אני פה רק לספק שירות אחרי הכל. :)
