I am definitely still interested, I will shoot you over an email soon!

Bill, you should watch this guy from the Philippines:
Wilson Tortosa, a.k.a. ~batangbatugan ([link] )
I saw his recently-published copy of "Wolverine: Prodigal Son" at the Comic Swap today and immediately recognized his artwork (and his name on the cover, haha). An interesting manga-esque take on the classic American comic character.

Thanks Kevin! Wilson has some very nice stuff
I've been recently admiring Alvin Lee's stuff as well.. I love his work!

urgh too much work to art jam.
on another note, though: you going to ABoston?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not sure about Boston.. but definitely Otakon!
Will you be setting up at either?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ideally, yes; though who knows when Otakon's going to put up their AA registration, ha. x_x;
Come to Boston! It'll be so much fun! Plus, maybe we can finally art jam then, haha. Kalafina's going, so that should be PWN. *w*

Hey, I just talked to Kevin and we should definitely all meet up soon if possible
Also, I don't know if I will be making it to Boston.. there's a chance though but definitely Baltimore for sure! I really have to get to work on the Final Fantasy/Street Fighter projects I've been putting off soon (still inspired from Crisis core)

Hey Bill,
It's James from Best Buy. Summer's coming up, and I was wondering if you wanted to get back into contact about the old thing.
My email is on my profile of this artist site thingy.
James

Shoot me an email!

HEY YOU. 
Kevin and I were wondering if you'd like to do an art jam some time? Art jam, and maybe squeeze in a couple of collabs...? 8D I know you're busy (compsc and all that), but it'll be fun!
Kevin says for me to say "art jam" again, just so that we'd, you know, emphasize the point. ;D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hey!
hmmm that last "art jam" really made a bold point.. so.. YES! That would be awesome!
And yeah, let me know when you & Kevin want to get together
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol, our suggestions are very compelling, no? XD I wonder if I propose anything else three times, whether you'd be about as convinced ....
DO MY HOMEWORK FOR ME DO MY HOMEWORK FOR ME DO MY HOMEWORK FOR ME
.... Did it work? ;D
Um, er, we're not sure? When are you available? What's your schedule look like? There prob ain't any time to get together before the break, so ... we should plan for after?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol Tempting.. but I'm not too sure about this offer.. nice try though..
And umm I usually have class from 1-6 on MWF and 2-7 from TR. So I guess it's really early or really late .. lol I'd prefer late though.. I'm not much a morning person
But yeah, after sounds good

Hey there!
Well all i can say is what I'm doing as well is never give up, keep drawing, painting, whatever you're good, be persistent, network, and don't ever let anyone get you down.

You know I was looking through your gallery and the quality level has vastly improved in the last year. The stuff from a year ago is great but those comic covers have so much more depth, your angles are better, your foreshortening is better. What did you do man?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha thanks man, I'm glad it shows. And to answer your question on what I did.. Well practice is one thing.. that mixed with determination and you're bound to go places lol

So basically I'm gonna need to give up video games to get anywhere.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha As a matter of fact, don't give up gaming! Video games make good inspiration. It helps me with my referencing and keeps my creativity flowing. That's if you pay attention to the graphics and not just play it

Thats what I've been doing wrong.

lol so what system do you own?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
360, PS3, and a Wii I would love to get rid of.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yea, I own a PS3 as well... haven't had much time lately although my last game that I finished was Bioshock.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Fantastic game! I really enjoyed it. It looked great, it was different, and it was weird.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I agree with you 100% I can't wait for the second one!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
have you played much resistance?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I beat the first one and I JUST got the second one, have you played the second? I heard it was great.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I am working on the first one and have the second waiting.

Wow, Great work!!! Your attention to detail is awesome!!! I think your on your way to a good career with comics if your not doing so already! Keep it up.

Thanks for all the comments and the watch, Bill! Looking forward to coming back, and I'm hoping to see what you've been up to!
Setsucon's coming up, and I know that Catherine's probably gonna do some print trades with the Artist Alley people. Are you going as well?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Bill, I have nothing but boring school projects, exams, and 10 page papers to write. I really don't have much time for my personal work lately. I should have gone to art school where there would be none of this. I'll upload some scraps soon and I still need a tablet...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hey Mike! Aw that sucks man, good luck with everything and I'll try to get you the tablet soon. See you around Thanksgiving?

You weren't kidding when you said you were more into the comic book style. I've never really been particularly attached into it, but the art style is so appealing.
You going to go professional? Into the comic book world?
(Yaaaay found another PSU artist. >w<
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
heyy! Yeah, I've loved reading/drawing comic book characters since I could long remember. I really want to go professional but I feel like I can still use a LOT of work, and also I know how hard and financially unstable the field can be but I want in!
My friend and all are trying to start a small design company that deals with conceptual art and illustration, but again... we have some work to do lol.
It's always good to know what a small world it is!

Hey Bill! This is Kevin. Remember me from hanging out at Will's place with Mark and the rest of 'em all the time last year?
Fantastic gallery, man. Catherine (kheleksul) and I saw you at Otakon 2008, though it seems we couldn't put an alias to your real name. Thanks to her, I'm watching you now...mwhahaha!
By the way, you, Catherine, myself, and a few of our PSU art gurus should get together some day and have an "art jam." See you around!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hey Kev!! Woah, what a small world! Yeah I remember!
And thanks for the comment, you have a great gallery yourself, keep it up!
Also, I remember seeing you at Otakon but not Catherine =\! And the art jam sounds very nice, count me in!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But we didn't even know each other until after otakon! How would you remember my face from the HORDES of people who love your work? 8D
Concept art and illustration .... are you active on CA.org? Its a great place to get some practice, as well as crit.
Yey more people coming to the art jam.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol!
I've actually been on CA.org and believe to have opened an account to but I don't what happened. I'll have to look back into it!
And let me know when you want to have this jam! I'm always willing if I have the time. Also me and a few friends usually have art battles. We don't do it as much anymore but what we would do is get together and time ourselves (usually an hour) and draw what theme/character we randomly choose. Then we have 3 judges (usually friends and such) cast their votes. It's pretty cool but pretty rough since the outcome never turns out too great due to the pressure and time constraint. Overall, it's good practice on accomplishing something in the 1 hour lol.

Great stuff man, like your style and work, always great to see another marvel/dc fan on here
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know! I don't see too many! When I make it to the bigger companies, I won't forget where I came from
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I totally agree, its hard to find lots of artists that AREN'T anime or manga styled based, now i mean i like those styles too but i prefer western comic stuff instead.
speaking of, which studio you interested in? Marvel? or something smaller? I hope to get into comics myself at some point but i doubt i'll work for something like marvel just because i don't draw that style.
No prob for the fav, i like your stuff
