Videogame Character design: Planning stage

Well Hello there!!!
   I've had a pretty busy 5 almost 6 months that I haven't been updating about... Sorry about that! Big news first! The "Big" project I was doing can now be explained. I was doing the illustration work for a book that is now published: New Life, No Sex, What Now! Not only is my art in this book, but I support the book 100!

   I've also had a few new projects up above and completed the first page redraws of Forgotten Guardian!

Page 1 Forgotten Guardians

   I've signed on with a small Christian based videogame company and I'll be doing the design work for their first game.... It kinda changed in the middle of production so I have to do different design specs for it. Its a No disclosure folks so no work can be shown at this time.

   The coloring project is going well and I can't wait till I can show that work.

I was looking for more work to post.... But.... Ok. You'll have to have this one and that's it!!!

Rando from an OC contest at Deviantart

   That all I got right now folks!

I pray that your day, week, month and year are great!!!!

UNTIL NEXT TIME!!!!

This 14 July...

Hi!!!
It's been a little while! Where ya been? How's life treating you? I'm here rocking on some inspirational Yolanda Adams(here's my playlist My Yolanda Adams Playlist) and finish the current illustration for BIG and I'm am loving God and the way this image has come to.

This is all I can show! But I'm loving it!

This is a color submission I did recently. Waiting to hear back about it!

A little more progress on the Tango con print. Working mostly on BIG, but I'll be getting to these soon.

But as you see I am plugging away. Things are coming together, slowly but surely. Oh, yea! I also receive the first script for the Forgotten Guardians Manga: Twilighted so also expect some work from that as well! Kk, folks time to get back to it. Remember stay at it and your dreams and purpose will be realized!!

UNTIL NEXT TIME!!!

Hi! It's mother's day and I hope y'all had a great one, spending time with the one who took care of you or even a sister or cousin, auntie or grandma! All in all I pray your day was great. I spent mine in church! Great place to be! Work has been a little slower than I'd like, but I'm constantly working to get faster and get more done. Working on something on the side that will help sponsor my artwork and artist endeavors. So look for news about that really soon. It happens to involve crowdfunding so I'm working on a video.

I don't really have much to show you. The Big project is still no show, and that's what I'm working on mostly. So next update I'll have work that I can show. Promise!!! 

UNTIL NEXT TIME!!!

So I've been chugging away at getting things together. Mostly the layouts of the next illustration for "Big" and the layouts for the art prints for con season. Got a bit sick so it slowed down the production of everything. Not to mention it was annoyingly painful. 

I've also been on a self development kick where I'm trying to get better at producing backgrounds for the comics.... That also came to a screeching halt. 

I'm feeling better today as I come to you. I look forward to going to church tomorrow slash later today. 

Amidst all this talk of feeling bad, I have great news. I got a mouse pad with the art from Kaye K. print! I'm so hyped as this is the first printed version(minus anything I printed from my desktop printer) since the creation of NF8th Studio! Did I mention that I'm totally stoked!!!  Well enough of me talking about it... Check it out for yourself.

And introducing the all new Charlie St. Martin

Well I hope you like the surprise I forgot to mention ^___^ . That's all I have. I'm going to get ready for church and hit the sack!!!! And as always.....


UNTIL NEXT TIME!!!

Back at it again!!!

Hi, and welcome back! I haven't seen you in awhile. How's life? Good, glad to hear you're doing well. This isn't a social call though. I've brought news on NF8th Studio!!!!

So I've decided(after seeing a great blog post) that I will now feature update information on my Blogspot. Fashioned after my friends and fellow indie creators Comfort Love and Adam Withers(Mind your P's & Q's).... So here I go!

There is still much I can't show you, but I still have a bit I can. The whole "Big" project is confidentiality agreed so no talky for me. But my personal projects are open game..... Well, some of it! I started thinking about showing the layouts for pages 6-19 then I thought "If I show you that will you still be interested in the finished book?"...... Sure you will!!!!

So here's a sneakie peek of pages 6-19 and a peek of my excitement which is how great the con prints are coming together. This is the Kaye K. poster "Hair" version B. with background to boot!!!!!  

Kaye K. V.2

Pages 6-17....

Pages 18 and 19...

Well that's all I have for this now 1 April Twenty13!

I hope you enjoy this post!

UNTIL NEXT TIME!!!

Twenty13

Hello followers!
     I wanted to start twenty13 of by saying, "HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!" and I hope it as great for you as it's going to be for me and NF8th Studio. I don't have a lot to post right now. I will say that officially at the end of today anybody I have extended an invitation to join our ranks, the offer will be extinguished. I you have the desire to join you have up until 02 Jan 13 at 12:01 eastern to respond and say you want "to get in on the ground level of the studio" or something to that effect. Just a "Yes I would like to join." is sufficient as well.

     Sadly it seems we are to fresh and unknown right now, but that will change. I do want to thank you for hanging around to see what's going on in NF8th Studio and I will say you are in for a ride this year.

    As always we are open for commissions. So feel free to contact us to do some work for you. We have pretty reasonable rates.

That's all I really wanted to say. Look for another update closer to the end of the month.

Oh and I've joined a tumblr blog Called 1 Panel A Day and you get a chance to see me create one panel of a comic book a day(you'll also see the creator of the blog as well), but I think it'll be a fun endeavor and a huge undertaking. Feel free to head over there as well(especially you followers who are sequential artists, we'd love to have you)

Alright!

UNTIL NEXT TIME!!!!
