03/08/07 - Well it's now summer and I havenÂt updated my journal for 6 months! Pretty poor... so here goesÂ

Firstly thanks to the continuing support even in my absences from the sight. Over 5000 favourites on the blood brush set now, my thanks to all those that contributed to this amazing figure.

Secondly congratulations to all those design projects that have been mailed to me. Sadly I don't have time to view and comment on them all but those I have had chance to look at have been excellent. I've uploaded a new deviation (first one in a while so excuse me if I'm a little rusty!) so please feel free to take a look and provide some feedback. I'm away for a short period again but will try and got some more work uploaded ASAP. I've also had several requests for a new brush pack so will try and get that one in the pipeline for the near future.

Until then happy designing and good luck!

My activity will be limited over the next few months but will hopefully pick up again in the summer. The best of luck with all your projects!

10/11/06 - Hello again all! I figured it was time for a journal update; I've changed the image sizes within the journal so hopefully people running monitors at a lower resolution should be able to fit it on correctly. If anyone is still having problems then please note me and I'll see what I can do. I've submitted two deviations the previews for which can be seen below; please take a look if you can spare the time! Equally if anyone has any working they would like some feedback on just note me or drop a comment on the page and I'll take a look.

Many thanks for the continuing support, the blood brushes have now passed 3000 favourites which is amazing.

03/08/06 - As you can see my page has had a serious revamp. I've edited several deviations to try and streamline my page so apologies to watchers who keep getting prompted about old artwork. I've been doing a lot of graphics work recently for several commercial companies and as a result have unfortunately neglected DA. I hope everyones designing has been progressing well in my absence, I'll try and get round various friends galleries shortly and have a look. I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their continuation support. My page has just hit 40,000 views today while my deviations have received 6000 favourites. This makes all the hard work worthwhile so once again my thanks to all.

Happy designing

With regards to recent work I've been concentrating on fantasy artwork. I've put it in the photomanipulation section as I feel there's more photo than actual painting (though each piece usually has several hours of brush work added). The above are two pieces I've completed recently and will be uploaded shortly. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did making them.

Ive also had a number of brush requests which Ill try and work through. Watch this space for future releases.

I've been working on several large abstract pieces recently and as the title indicates I'm looking for some talented artists to collab with. The concept pieces in their present states are shown below:

Obviously they yet need allot of work but Im hesitant to do any more as I'd like to encourage some free thinking be a collab partner. If your interested on working on either one of the pieces with me then please drop me a note.

Now I've got some time on my hands again I will also be running the weekly featured artist scheme again so again drop me a note if you think your work deserves a closer look at.

Finally Im in the process of making another abstract brush set focussing on large tech work so watch this space.

]]> ~Shad0w-GFX A quick update/ New brush pack release http://Shad0w-GFX.deviantart.com/journal/6649228/ http://Shad0w-GFX.deviantart.com/journal/6649228/ Sat, 01 Oct 2005 08:23:54 PDT ). I'm finally back at uni now though with once again some time for some graphics work.

A very big thanks to all the people who have supported my Blood Brush Pack. The pack is currently 3 favourites off 1000 which is an incredible achievement for me. I can't thank you all enough for your support.

I've released a new abstract brush pack today found at [link]

I hope everyone finds it beneficial. I'm currently working on revamping my whole page with a "new look". I'm also working on 2 collabs and an additional large abstract piece. They should hopefully be released in the near future.

I hope everyone has had a great summer. Take care all.

Regards

James

This weeks featured is

I first met JaneDoe in the forums advertising some of her work. From then Ive watched her progress from what would have to be an average artist into one of the best photographers, digital artists and photomanipulators I have seen. Its really nice to watch someone improve in their work as I feel this is what DA is all about. I would encourage you all to take a closer look at her work, particularly the new elements series.

This weeks featured artist is something a bit different as I didnt have time to go properly searching through galleries. Instead Im going to feature a single piece which I felt was exceptionally impressive, particularly with regards to current events.

Congratulations to ZaMoHt

Ive been watching him for some time now and its always nice to watch an artist improve and evolve a style of their own. Darkness has produced some lovely abstract work and having now mastered PhotoShop is experimenting with Terragen and Space scenes. Definitely someone to watch out for in the future.

On the subject of the brushes Ive been bombarded with PMs asking how I got the blood to look so realistic. Im going away to the south of France for 2 weeks tomorrow but as soon as I get back I will make a tutorial so watch this space.

Each week I try and feature what I consider to be a talented artist. Getting exposure on DA is difficult among so many deviants and we all face the uphill battle of getting established.

When choosing a deviant to feature I look for:

A high quality of artwork

A relatively low number of page views (under 5000)

Originality

Community spirit and contribution

How much the deviant has supported me

If you feel you demonstrate all of the above and would like to be featured then reply to this journal post with a link to your gallery.

THANKYOU

here to all those who added comments and 's

_____________________________________

Just released a new dark piece with entitled Nightmares. Any feedback would be great. Enjoy.

Nightmares

_____________________________________

W00t Parasite

became my first deviation to hit 100 favourites today.

Once again Id like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their brilliant support, its greatly appreciated and where possible I try and repay any s I receive. Its great to see the page views rolling up at a rapid rate.

The features in the journal seem to be a success so I will continue running this scheme. Im looking for talented artists with a relatively small amount of page views (under 2000). If you think you fit this category please drop me a PM and Ill take a look at your gallery. The biggest problem with DA is trying to get recognised amongst so many deviations and I will try my best to promote those who deserve exposure.

So whats in store for the future?

The brush packs seems to be a success and I will be releasing a C4D abstract pack sometime in the near future. Following the success of Parasite Ive just uploaded a new abstract piece entitled Genesis:

Any feedback/s would be greatly appreciated and will not go unnoticed.

Once again thanks for the support all.

The 3D artwork seems to be a big success so Im working on another piece which should be completed very soon. Also in the pipeline is an abstract 3D brush set made using C4D and 3D Studio Max so watch this space.
