Description Sam Merlotte. Trying out a new, tighter workflow here. Not sure if I'm happy with it. Looks a bit cartooney? Definitely much faster and more cohesive than my usual, all over the place, thing.

I'm trying to be more economical with my strokes. Do more with less kinda thing. I think I need to use a harder brush and go bolder to get the effect I'm aiming for. I'm still a bit of a wuss with my strokes, I tend to rely on really low-flow, soft as hell airbrush.

Dunno, just the vibe I get when I look at it. It isn't overworked to death like my usual stuff. Maybe a good thing

I think he looks good, and I like your other stuff as well. Maybe you could save this like it is and play with it more to see if you can work out the parts that displease you

TBH I'm never really 100% happy with anything I do. Nature of the beast I guess. I prefer to just move on and always try to do better on the next thing. I think if I ever did something I was totally happy with I might just stop altogether

Ha ha! Oh yes! I know what you mean. I've never been much for reworking pieces and just moving on as well What do you plan to work on next?

I'm currently procrastinating like hell over a photomanip for a competition on worth1000, 3 days left and counting and I'm still at sketch stage

Otherwise I'm going to keep going with the True Blood theme since 1 - I love the show and 2 - copying portraits is good practice. I can feel myself getting better at it. So the question is - who next? I've been putting off Bill and Eric cos they're done to death but I'll have to get around to them sooner or later. I'm thinking maybe Andy Bellefleur since he's one of my favourite characters after Jessica.

Oh Andy is awesome! XD What about Terry? I did see your Jessica to, she was the first in your series right? I do understand waiting on Bill and Eric since done is not as interesting.

Sorry to hear you are having a hard time with the contest. Is it the subject matter? Or pressure to win the competition? I wish you luck!

It's not really that I'm having a hard time it's just something my brain always does to me but I'm used to it. Basically I get a week to do something and the first day I get a concept together then I'll basically do anything rather than concentrate on the comp entry until it's almost too late. Then I have to pull an all-nighter to get it done. No biggie, like I said - it's always like this. I'm used to it now.

So basically you work best under stress eh? Well, I wish you the best of luck my sweet! In the mean time, I look forward to seeing what ever else you pump out!
