Description Well where can I start ,, since the anouncement of diablo 3 in 2008 ,i wanted to make a painting of the game that featured the barbarian , anyway i sucked back then, but still tried to paint something ,, it looked good at that time but now it looks crap , so i just had to try again ,, and this is whot i came up with ,,,

this Was my silent project ,, the one that slowly came along ,, started about last year this time and back then i didnt know all the good stuff i know now ,, so i started with the line art ,, took a month long break , painted the basic color ,, took another month long break ,,in between i painted a number of other things,anyway halfway into the picture my eyes opened yet again and i saw that the tecnique i was using sucked, and so i had to ajust alot of things, anyway ive never been in an art class my hole life and that didnt help me either, gues i just spent too much time on this ,, so now I can relax and stop stressing about it ,, so yea tell me whot u guys think ,,

New art:

Oh wow ive already seen this work before on diablo inc i think D Didnt know you were the same guy ^^ Awesome stuff man, needless to say you have heaps of potential considering you are self taught, will definitely enjoy watching how your art progresses mate

To critique it, dont worry too much about detail yet, practice some anatomy studies, action poses and speedpaints, if you have more time on your hands and looking to go full time into this, then go head over to conceptart.org and cghub, they have a great community and you will learn a lot, plus they have lots of events n stuff where you can test your mettle against industry pros n stuff

Haha u don't have to post it in diablo Inc for it to be there, this guys are hardcore diabloans, they scour the net for diablo fan art

I definitely remmerb seeing it there lol.

I haven't been up to dat with my concept art account at all, I made it aes ago and left it, I really need to go back and build a sketch book etc, that is the place where you get noticed man, too many dudes there.

Thanks mate, yeh I did quite a few commissions mostly manga stuff tho, anything for the money lol, and that is what most dude wanted lol, I guess it's a good way to get more popular cos dude on here love that kidna stuff but now I'm getting knee deep in other projects, working on a competition currently, tight deadline but I'm really psyched for it, idk if you've seen the dominance war comp, check it out if u haven't it really awesome. Otherwise working on a game project swell, early days but still good ^^ gonna hopefully get back into commissions again if I can get more serious work instead of manga stuff.

What about u man? What do you want to do in the future?

true, but still man since your balancing 2 jobs n stuff that makes you a real hard worker, adn when your a hardworker youve got wayy more potential than some of the other cats out here, its all about effort man

Yeah man we all are looking for that miracle and big break, after all these months my portfolio is still looking shit as ever, but with this new stuff im doing hopefully things will take a turn for the better

hehe its good you have a plan mate, always set yourself goal n youll see yourself getting closer all the time

najmulosmani In reply to RaymondMinnaar [2011-05-06 13:35:53 +0000 UTC]

whoa your website is looking great man!! flippin professional bro!! this looks hella like the diablo 3 site, which is even more awesome!!! your portfolio is also very strong man! lots of skill and variety with your work and technical ability. No doubt youll get an awesome job with something like this.

Since you got so muhc graphics experience, you should do a lota them on the side for extra cash, go to music/ hiphop forums and spam your link there, spam your link everywhere you can, use it on your signature on every registered site, also you might want put some prices up on there too for commissions. Also your facebook link is not working, you should fix that, also add a button for facebook like/share on there, and ive heard that twitter is awesome for getting yourself out there though ive never used it or have a clure how it works lol

But yeah man one day i gotta make a site too >.< but i have no idea how :/ migh just go for on of them quick ready made template things, maybe u can help me there

Oh yeah i was skeptical at first about our project thing, bu its really getting there now, we havemany talented individuals working with us n we are progressing fast apart from me >.< cos ive got all this competition work to do :/ but ill definitely catch up. Even if the pays not there, the work experiece as a team on something real and official is pretty awesome, excellent motivation, great for the portfolio too ^^

yea you konw , at this point,, as they say , beggars cant be choosers ,and we need experience,but one thing is i dont have that much time ,, lol ,,, oh whot i sugest is that you just fimiliarize urself with dreamweaver a bit ,get a few tutorials online and follow them ,, my website is pretty basic , theres no advance conding and stuff ,, and dreamweaver pretty much does the coding for you ,, for a blog ,,well lol i wanato add a blog to my website and thats pretty difficult ,so for now ill skip that, also a good idea is to make friends with sum1 that can create websites ,,, i think the reason y my site looks so gud is becuz of the nice pictures that i made using ----PHOTOSHOP---- so yea and ur realy gud with photoshop arnt you ,, like one thin that ive learnt is ,, nothin hapens overnight ,

and thanx for the facebook dead link tip ,, ill fix it asap

another thing ,, i just downloaded "Camstudio" it lets u record everything u do on ur computer m like all the nice youtube vids we see ,, a good thing is to record the stuff and show the world how we made that awsum pictures , i havent tried it out yet ,ill test it this afternoon, its freeware so mabe you should try it , dont know weather ull find it usefull ,, but i just had to share it

sorry for the bad spelling ,, i realy dont worry about spelling cuz im not originaly english sooo iv got an excuse ,,


anyway chow

najmulosmani In reply to RaymondMinnaar [2011-05-10 18:57:24 +0000 UTC]

Thanks bro! our site is gonna upgrade again and we got a chatroom too, have a look at the new to be design: [link] Naaaaaiiiiiize eh?

haha, you ener kno he might reply, have patience mate, this wizard might lead you onto more commissions!

Ahh so you wanna help us out eh? that sounds awesome man, hmm we might be able to make use of your dragon slayer... however!! our game, like i said is in really early progress, our leader mendi is making a lot of effort in recruiting many people, and is working on our site so we have a professional look about us, then we can pitch our ideas to other important people, animators and more coders are needed.. But yeah man so far were not sure about putting in creatures etc.. though im sure i can be persuasive

But yeah man, if on your free time you can work on maybe some concept art, for shoalin or atlantian, be really free with it, just throw some ideas it doesnt have to be good or anything, we are really early on, we might even change the whole aspect of the game once we start to get together and properly talk about things.
