For DAC

Got great hand-eye coordination? Here's the place to show it off. You can also upload your work (images, audio, and video) and view our fan art gallery (currently defunct, bug forum management to fix it).
This is also the forum for all of you blossoming Camus' to exercise your brain power by writing and posting fan fiction.

This is some pretty incredible stuff. Do you do any of it in a professional capacity?

I'd say you should start marketing that portfolio. I would think at the very least you could quite a lot of money peddling the illustrations at SF Conventions. Seeing that you are in California maybe you get a job at Interpl... sorry didn't mean to insult you!

Why can't I get beautiful art like that?! Wait, I just did.

Love seeing your work here. Maybe you should try your hand at illustrating some of the old Fallout favorites. The Overseer mayhaps?

As for working at Inertplay, I say that we need all the people we can get in their doors that know what we want.

And give them weapons. Oh yes, weapons...

Gaawd how I love your chicks Bria! And the TMPs are not too big...I think she is quite petite and that's why the proportions are such...Maybe she would've been a gymnast or a figure skater if the world hadn't ended :( .

Oh and BTW I withdraw my comment about you not bringing out the gunz. This works for me.

wow. brain-overloading... shutting down. *thunk*

*30 minutes later*
i dont supposed you do anime? cuz its already perdy close to anime and i would love to see it at some anime cons i'm predy sure u'd win tons of cash awards. i know there was one somewhere in California during mid-july... cuz you could sell this stuff at cons. i mean people buy this stuff, anywhere from $2 to $20 a piece depending on quality, triple for the original. yours could easily go for at least $20 a copy. and kinko's does color copies predy cheap, so that's alot of dough in your pocket. shiny shiny. i went to one of these cons with a couple of friends who were selling art, on the low-end and EACH of them made about $100 profit after calculating in teh table rental and admission. you could make a living doing this. and at large conventions, i know that some companies have offered fan artists jobs with big bux. $40-50k a year, no university degree or anything.

maybe you could do some whole scenes for computer wallpapers? :D

thanks dan and perro 8)

dan: I try to stay away from doing blatent "fan art", Instead I enjoy doing things inspired by or that might belong in a certain defined universe with my own twist on it of course ;)

hieyeck: i dont like to think of my stuff as anime, in fact i got a little overheated when someone thought it was anime on the NURK! forums.
thanks for the tip, although Im not good enough to do 2d drawing competitively or for a career.

btw I am open to suggestions, I been wanting to do another PA drawing, a warrior would be fun, but doesnt have to be, go ahead and post your suggestions here if you like, Id like to hear them.

nonsense. the statment "Briareos' art is not good enough to sell" is just about as true as "monty python and the holy grail". so if you hate anime that much... there's a con for just about anything, find something you like and has some relevance to your art and i'm sure you could sell it there :D

as for suggestions, i'm GMing a matrix RPG and one of my players is playing a 14 year old short oriental girl carrying any gun that's REALLY big (RPGs, miniguns, vulcan cannons rippped out from a fighter jet, etc.). i have no idea how he got that character past me but it'd be really funny to see a pic of that :D. or maybe a vehicle of some sort. that would be cool.
