Speed is a crucial part of being an Illustrator (and of course quality). There are lots of other components too of course but speed has been a particular weakness of mine until recently. The average painting, like the two below in this post, used to take me a couple weeks worth of time to complete. These days I have been averaging about 2 days, sometimes less for small images like these. Why the sudden speed up? A lot of priceless advise has sunk in over this past year. Attending Spectrum and Illuxcon, speaking with the other artist and getting portfolio reviews really pay off.
Here are a couple new pieces fresh off the art table. Both images are for Jolly Roger Game's Cthuhlu's Vault. It is nearing the 1/2 way mark. More post (because its the only project I can share at the moment) with tentacled Lovecraft art coming up next week.
---- Also I was one of the few who were able to snag a showcase table at the Illuxcon 8! Wow, lots of work to do to prepare.
