]]> http://www.bladfx.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=332 0 Why so sinister… ? http://www.bladfx.com/blog/?p=331 http://www.bladfx.com/blog/?p=331#comments Mon, 09 Mar 2009 06:30:04 +0000 admin http://www.bladfx.com/blog/?p=331 Just finished a new image… posted it in Illustration

It started forming in my head after I finished reading “Arkham Asylum” from DC

Feel I’ve been out of it for a while… it’s good to draw for fun after a long period of intense work.

This is my version of a character found in Arkham Asylum… Jane Doe. Here she would be trying to copy the joker.  This would end badly for sure. The character and universe belong to DC… this is just my view of one of their really cool characters.

it’s titled Searching for paradise… a test I did to adjust different color space usage between photoshop and my monitor. :)

enjoy !

]]> http://www.bladfx.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=314 0 More fine tuning. http://www.bladfx.com/blog/?p=312 http://www.bladfx.com/blog/?p=312#comments Thu, 11 Sep 2008 06:29:48 +0000 admin http://www.bladfx.com/blog/?p=312 I added a temp front page today instead of link straight to the news section. I also fixed some broken links to some images in the matte painting and the concept art pages. I will continue refining the site in the next few days as well as putting a more appropriated image on the front page.

 

 

]]> http://www.bladfx.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=312 0 All sections are now online ! http://www.bladfx.com/blog/?p=310 http://www.bladfx.com/blog/?p=310#comments Wed, 10 Sep 2008 03:55:59 +0000 admin http://www.bladfx.com/blog/?p=310 All the pages now contain material.  I will be adding more material as it becomes available…  I will continue to play around with the layout and try to refine it a little. Changes are gonna be minor and purely cosmetic.

In the mean time … enjoy !

:)
