<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of all my conventions I attend, Anthrocon may be the biggest and most exciting celebration of character designs.

It sports some exciting classes, some of the coolest races I've seen to date, and even an engrossing story! Most of the new art is non-disclosure, so you'll not be getting many related updates in some time. Until then, things to whet your appetite!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Still experimenting with cardstock. The surface doesn't hold darker values well, but the smooth texture is wonderful for my workflow. Very cheap alternative to using Hot Press illustration board, especially if you plan on a digital finish.</span></div>

You'll usually see that symbol hidden somewhere within my images, but what you probably don't know is why I use it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />The symbol came about when I was eating a cookie. I looked at the shape my bottom teeth made when I bit—turned out one tooth was crooked. I liked that pattern enough to use it. But sometimes I forget how to do my signature and have to bite something as a reminder.<br /><br />Search the symbol in Google and see what happens.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not very many results at all, huh? It's far more exclusive than "Jonathan Duncan", or even "Jonathan Vair". Eventually, it will only post to my work. My goal of having an unobtrusive and effective signature will then be realized.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, it happened. I am officially published. To think, I was at in the computer lab at school and thought, "I like Sims' stuff. I should do art for him," and then I did, and then he used it the images on <a href="http://sims.bandcamp.com/releases">his latest EP</a>. Artists, that's all it takes. </span></div>

I literally cannot remember the last time I was bored. This is due to being an artist constantly trying to see my world objectively, but also comes from being thrown into situations bigger than myself on a regular basis. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For example, in the middle of creating new work for this <a href="http://www.imaginefx.com/-2287754332282917519/default.html">contest</a> via ImagineFX, I had to apply for a last-minute passport after winning a contest to <a href="http://www.siggraph.org/">SIGGRAPH</a>, a convention I wanted to return to this year, but couldn't afford. Now that my new images are done, I have to finish a cohesive concept portfolio as fast as possible. After that's done, I'll be finishing an EP package for one of my favourite <a href="http://www.doomtree.net/sims/">hip-hop artists</a>. From there I'll be completing two more designs for a <a href="http://www.windlipsnowboards.com/">snowboard company</a>. From there, I'll probably hound <a href="http://www.arena.net/">Arenanet</a> the rest of the year until they blacklist me or hire me. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If I'm lucky, somewhere along the line I'll get paid! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are the three images I completed in the last seven days.

Ever since I was in Middle School anyone that knew me could attest to the fact that I was always drawing videogame characters from copies of </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Electronic Gaming Monthly</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> or taking videogame guides into English class for mandatory reading time. It started out as an obsession, but after I matured (maybe) I came to appreciate games rather than have an unhealthy obsession with them. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Metroid was one of my favourite franchises. It was by unlocking concept art in Metroid Prime that I knew I wanted to do concept art in videogames for a living, and Samus Aran is by far the character I've drawn more than any other. After a mother of an old friend found a rendition of Samus painted on her basement wall from around eight years ago, I decided to give it another go, for old time's sake:</span></div><br />
