Do not post images at the Forge.

I am editing your post to change those into links.

RE: Re: Oddsea's Character Barrel

Out of curiosity, aside from the exercise and coolness of this, is there a point to posting these images, here? Are you doing anything with these images for publishers, is this a personal gallery...?

RE: Re: Oddsea's Character Barrel

It's mostly for connection/networking purposes. Rather than having (IMHO) an impersonal portfolio site, I can have alittle camp on forums that lets me interact with publishers and buyers directly. Think of it like an artist's booth at a convention. You can come up to the booth (or thread), meet & greet with the artist, look at current work and start building a repoire with them.

A majority of the images posted are just personal sketches and help serve publishers that follow-up with an assignment. They can tell me which concepts or styles they like specifically by the character's name or day. Freelance-wise, that helps alot since it saves time & direction on both ends. Some of the sketches have been sold outright as reduced-price commissions since the artwork is already done but its not the purpose of them. I love thumbing thru sketchbooks and I'm sure that others do as well. If it creates a connection with people, all the better!

BTW, I'll be attending the San Diego ComicCon if anyone wants to meet-up for slurpees. seriously.

Hi there,

Well, I think this experiment has shown me what I needed to know. You asked if it was OK to post in this fashion, and I said sure, let's see how it goes, and now I know. It's time for it to be over, and I suggest that you look into maintaining a website for promoting your work.

This thread is now closed.

Best, Ron
