#1: Progress on painting is on hold due to new computer problem. Might be a few days, might be a few weeks. Bah!
#2: I've begun my final semester of undergraduate school!
#3: I choose to skip #3!
#4: I intend to fix my website very soon. I basically have to remake it. This is also delayed by Photoshop being down. I think, but perhaps not.

#5: Here's a list of what art I'm working on, and some neat concepts I want to work with:

In progress:
"Autobots" ~ You saw the preview before... basically me re-designing Transformers to suit my desires. Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Jazz, Ratchet, Ironhide. It's not intended as a G1 meets Movie, it's just Transformers redone in my own style, with influences pulled from all versions of Transformers over 20 years. Really close to being done, mostly just have to finish Jazz.

"More Autobots" ~ Because I had an urge to draw Sideswipe, reaaaal bad. Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Tracks, Cliffjumper, Prowl, Arcee.

"Killer Worms" ~ My lil B Movie idea come to life. Lot of it is complete, but it's giving me some difficulty.

"Dracula's Curse" ~ Castlevania fanart celebrating chiefly the new Animated Movie/trilogy being written by Warren Ellis based around the game of the same name (CVIII for the NES), but also for the new PS3 Castlevania game, which largely seems like a reboot of sorts, and the newly announced Live-Action movie, which has a chance of sucking.

"Monster Maternity" ~ A scene of a woman giving birth to a strange creature... which seems eager to strangle the doctor delivering it. Will be awesome.

No longer pursuing:
"Turguin" ~ Just too many problems. I might re-invent it later on.

Really want to get started on:

Sexy Mobster Pinup ~ Just one of those things that starts from buying my friend a hat in Wal-Mart.... Yes, a sexy GIRL mobster. With a Tommy gun.

Upcoming once I do this other crap:

"Even More Autobots" ~ Grimlock, Blades, Bluestreak, Hound, Mirage, Warpath.

"Decepticons, More Decepticons, Even More Decepticons" ~ Lol, Probably won't be doing all three, as I plan to use fewer Decepticons than Autobots. I'll be showing a lot more creative thinking in these characters, and you'll notice some more nods to other-than-G1, like Armada, Movie, and Animated. But an idea of characters: Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave/Ravage/Laserbeak/Frenzy, Onslaught, Barricade, Scourge, Astrotrain, Reflector, Demolisher, Lockdown.

"Simon's Quest" ~ Another Castlevania fanart centered around the original Castlevania, the CV: Chronicles remake, the Super CVIV remake, and CVII: Simon's Quest. Probably feature something like Simon Belmont, Count Dracula, and memorable villians like Medusa, bats, frog man, mermen, skeletons, etc etc.

"There is No Spoon" ~ A man has been murdered... with a spoon! Crime scene investigation that lets me push as many references to 'spoon' in popular culture as possible; Matrix, I Robot, The Tick...

Promises of:
Classic Horror ~ Vampires, Werewolves, Frankenstein... something in that realm. Most likely in black and white, or some such monochromatic style.

Something cyberpunkishy ~ I have no idea yet. Maybe more in theme with Blade Runner.

Pirates vs Ninjas ~ 'nuff said.

Paint'megeddon 2009:

"Missionary" ~ DONE
"Autobots" ~ almost done
"Fighting a Turguin" ~ My next target
"Attack of the Killer" Worms ~ largely on its way to being done
"Dracula's Curse" ~ barely begun

Merry Christmas!

I'm really trying to earn as much money as I can this summer, and with the shop down I can't sell any prints of my current stuff at all. So I'm now officially very very open for commissions, or even projects! Please e-mail me at biwg85@hotmail.com or drop me a Note here on DA and we can discuss things!
