Thanks!

Apparently there was a jury...a judge...and an executioner.
The pages...and all comments...are gone.

Any idea how or why?

How can I steal from myself?

Wow...just wow.
I'm so thrilled.
You gotta check out the painting Sarah did for Dreamland.
[link]

Sarah is the creator of Inverloch and Phoenix Requiem.

Thank you so much Sarah! You're just awesome!

Well...I don't know what to say.
First Niko's beautiful Dreamland cover...now this...
[link]

Paul is a genius. I'm just surrounded by brilliance and I feel like a hack even putting my work up along side of these artists.

I'm so grateful Paul. Thank you.

You've gotta see this.

What a wonderful piece of art from an incredibly talented artist.
Thank you so much Niko. I absolutely adore it.

This cover will be in stores in November. Don't forget to pick it up.

So...reference for the next sketch card?
I'm thinking it's time for a girl.
Any thoughts?

]]> *ssava http://ssava.deviantart.com/journal/20320059/ http://ssava.deviantart.com/journal/20320059/ Thu, 04 Sep 2008 07:14:12 PDT
Severus Snape.
I'm thinking of doing him next for my sketch cards.
Also considering Hellboy....

Anyone have links to good sites with pics of Snape?
Google didn't turn up much. Just low res images or bad shots.

Thanks

I've really been enjoying doing these sketchcards and I was hoping you guys could help me decide who to paint for the next one I put up here and sell on Ebay.

I like the fact that a percentage goes to the Juvenille Diabetes fund and I get to do little paintings too.


Anyways...what are your thoughts?
Super Heroes?
Harry Potter?
Heroes?
Pirates?
Star Wars?
Star Trek?
Indiana Jones?
Please let me know. Preferably something live action. As I prefer using photo reference.

Oh...and here's what's still up for sale...

Thanks
Scott

Check out my Ebay page to see what I'm selling.
[link]
I'll be putting up several paintings from my gallery and some you haven't seen before.
Over the next 7 days I'll be uploading about 25 or so paintings from various projects over my career.
From cover art to card art to fan art.
I've set the reserves really low and am hoping they all find happy homes.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks
Scott

But I was hired by Joshua Fritz from a company called Kunoichi.

This company supposedly has the GI Joe license and needed some paintings.
I did one of a character Blowtorch.
[link]

It's now been 2 weeks and no word from him.
Calling the corporate office gets me voicemail....for only him.
Apparently...NY, Chicago, Los Angeles, and London all of them are going to the same voicemail....his.

So beware working with this person...or this make believe company.

After 2 weeks of emails and phone calls...I've not heard word one.

He has added me to facebook 2 days ago. So I know he's alive.

He's posting to his blog about his family.

But he refuses to pay. Refuses to acknowledge he's even alive.


STAY AWAY FROM HIM.

He's actively seeking more artists to dupe. So please warn everyone you know.
Thank you and my apologies for having to do this...

Scott

I wanted to let you know that the Heroes sketches I did a while back on my DA site are up for sale.

I donated them to the Candlelighters charity. It’s for Kids Cancer and such.

If you want some original art…or want to support a charity for a good cause…head over to here to see it and bid.

[link]

There’s actually THREE pieces of art in this auction. So click on all three thumbnails to see them.

Or just click here for larger views…

Hope you have a great week and thanks for your time.

I wanted to let you know about a book we have up exclusively on Wowio with art done by Tracy Bailey.

It's a really fun book and I hope you like them.
I have two issues out now. Hopefullly the rest coming out shortly.

Scott

How do I add images?

]]> *ssava http://ssava.deviantart.com/journal/15973382/ http://ssava.deviantart.com/journal/15973382/ Mon, 17 Dec 2007 13:17:22 PST I have a new book I just wrote called Dino Wars that needs a CARTOONY artist who likes Dinosaurs.

Mind you. It has humans in it. But think Jurassic Park meets Transformers (there's robots too).

This is a PAYING gig. It will be published.


Now I have to say. I want to meet only SERIOUS artists who can handle a 170 page book in full color (though I can hire a colorist if need be).

I don't care what you do professionally. If you've never done this before.
But. I do care if you have a portfolio of excellent work. Something you're proud of.

Of actual comic pages with storytelling.

If you're a high school student who wants to break in. This isn't the job for you. Sorry.
I need this done in a timely manner.

If you know of any professional artists. Or ones that are almost pros who may be interested. Please have them send me a note with a link to their work.

Thanks so much.
Scott

[link]

For every download...Wowio gives me a kickback. So if you liked the paintings you saw here. Please help out by downloading this book and if you're so inclined...my other books like The Dreamland Chronicles and Pet Robots and the rest.

Thanks!
Scott

As you know. My paintings are mostly from photos. So I need a good shot of him.

Thanks again for voting. And I look forward to starting my next piece.

I just don't know if the market is still as good for that any more.

I was getting between $300-$1,000 for commissions back then...
I wouldn't mind doing some portraits, pin-ups, and what not. I don't think I'll charge as much as I used to.
But I'd love to know if this is something interesting to people.
Please let me know.

Also...the poll is still going on for what i'll paing next.
Heroes is winning. With Lord of the Rings catching up.

Thanks

I thought it'd be fun to see what you guys found interesting.
Since I've been focusing on Dreamland so much the last few years. I've no clue as to what's interesting to paint.
So here's my initial thoughts...and please tell me if I'm way off the mark.
Thanks all for your kind words and encouragement to get me back into painting.
Scott

Um...I think you need to click on JOURNAL at the top right to see it.
I can't seem to get it to show up on the main page.
Anyone know how?

Here's a link...

These are just quick sketches done on plain paper about 5 inches big. Really rough.

Hope you like em...

More or less.

So I'm going to slowly update the images with the print resolution versions.

This will mean prints are available if you want...and also you can view them in detail.

Thank you all for being patient with me as I figure DA out.

Did I miss something???
