Battleminds, Teamwork, and Fey Hunter

Here are three new pieces I recently did for D&D that just went live. I got to work with AD Keven Smith this time around and it was real pleasure. Very fun stuff.

Website Redesign

Just redesigned my website with another company. I think it is much cleaner looking. Plus, it is way easier to update. www.tylerjacobsonart.com

Ctrl-N

My agent Richard Solomon has posted an article about his new group of artists called Ctrl-N. The group includes Andrew R. Wright, Chris Whetzel, Goni Montes, Dongyun Lee, Edward Kinsella III and myself. It is a very well rounded group, all with solid portfolios. You can see all their work here at RSAR along with links to theispot and The Workbook as well as view the Ctrl-N posting here.

It is really an honor to have Richard Solomon as my representation. I couldn't ask for someone more knowledgable and experienced in the Illustration business.

Dragon 384 Cover

This is the cover I did for Dragon Magazine Issue 384. It recently went live so I can post it now. I worked with Jon Schindehette at D&D which is always a pleasure. I did a few other pieces for this issue but I am just waiting on them to go live. More to come.

Jack Gaughan Award

I give a huge Thank You to the NESFA for honoring me with the Jack Gaughan Award for Best Emerging Artist. Thank you as well to the jury Irene Gallo, Todd Lockwood, and Bob Eggleton. This is a great veneration and I am honored to be placed amongst such wonderful artists.

Thank you all.

New D&D work

Here are a few piece I did for D&D a little while back. They just went live so I can post them here now. Again I got to work with Jon Schindehette, the Senoir AD at D&D and as always it was a pleasure. Check out his blog ArtOrder. These piece appeared in Dragon Magazine Issue #381. There is one more piece I did along with these and it will be forthcoming.

Space Roman

Another Comp of the day. I love Roman stuff and I never really do much Sci Fi (not sure why). So I wanted to do something like a Space Centurion.

Comp of the Day

Maybe I will start calling these Composition of the Day even though I havent been doing them daily. Anyways here is another. I am trying to do more compositions based on value.

DoD I guess

I haven't had much time lately for Drawings of the Day, but I had a little break so I did one. Thought I would bring more value in.

B&B

Funny logo I did for my buddies Joe and Luke.

Beren the One Handed

"Get you gone, and fly!" cried Beren; "for here is a fire that shall consume you, and all evil things."

Hurakan Challenge

Fingolfin and Morgoth

Thus died Fingolfin, High King of the Noldor, most proud and valiant of the Elven-kings of old.

Another Roman

Dragon 379

The Art work I did for D&D's Dragon Magazine has gone live today! For these I got to work with Jon Schindehette, the Senoir AD at D&D. He is a great guy and a pleasure to work with. Here is a link to the spotlight he posted on his blog. ArtOrder: Friday 0918

You can find a preview of the actual issue here. Dragon Magazine Issue 379

Here are the images I did and clips from what they look like in the article. They appeared in an article for Dragon Magazine issue 379, titled Cleric Essentials: Wisdom of the Gods by Logan Bonner

Drawing of the day

Culdesac/Backpage Pilot

So, long story on this one. I did this stuff a ways back and for some reason never posted it, probably cuz it is a pretty different style from my current work. Anyways, my friends Joe Bereta and Luke Barats did a pilot for a sketch comedy style show on NBC. Their website Baratsandbereta.com has all their comedy work to date and they are both down in LA now working their butts off. For the Pilot I did a number of illustrations that were meant to fade or dissolve out into their live action counterparts. The effect was pretty cool. The pilot was set up as a comic strip and each new sketch was a three frame comic in a newpaper called The Backpage. This is Culdesac was the original name for the pilot. Milkman vs. Mailman and Neighborhood Watch are the only two sketches available for view right now. They are minus the dissolve from the illustrations. Check out their youtube page also.

Drawing of the day-plus

Certainly am going to do more on this one cuz it is way fun. Probably be multiple drawings of the day for this. Drew in photoshop this time. If anyone wants to donate to my cintiq fund you are more than welcome.
Anyone got a name for this thing?

Drawing of the day

Oh how cute!

Sils

Oðin

Quick Oðin sketch. Pronouced Othin with a TH like in "the". Come on people, haha. Johannes, you know what I am talking about.

Drawing day 2

Another quick roman drawing. I think I may stop with the roman, haha.

sketches Ps

I came across these sketches Rich Anderson did in what looked like pen and ink, but they could have been in photoshop as well. Anyways they inspired me ( and by all means I give credit to Rich Anderson) to attempt the look in photoshop and I had a lot of fun. I am certainly going to do more of these, and probably add some more values in.
This is still day one though on the drawing log so these don't count I guess. haha
