Some New D&D Work

Had a few new pieces I did for D&D go live recently. They are mainly small character pieces. All of them were a whole lot of fun as usual.

Spectrum 17!!!!

I forgot to mention a little while back that I made it into Spectrum 17. This would be my first time so it is very exciting. I'll let the pieces that made it in be a surprise, so look for them in Spectrum 17 due out in November '10. Cheers to all!

Sketches

So I guess these will be some DoDs. I found this middle toned sketch book the other day and was doing some more stylized doodles. voilà

Toned paper is so much fun to work on.

Quanah for Texas Monthly

I recently complete a painting for Texas Monthly Magazine for an article titled Last Days of the Comanches. Here is a small excerpt from the piece: "By the autumn of 1871, the Western frontier was rolling backward, retreating in the face of savage Indian attacks. When a ragtag army of federal soldiers arrived on the Llano Estacado to crush the hostile natives once and for all, they had numbers and firepower on their side. What they didn’t know was that their enemies were led by Quanah Parker, a half-white war chief who may have been the greatest fighter of his time." By S. C. Gwynne.

I worked with AD TJ Tucker and had a excellent time. I hope to work with him again in the future.

...long time no see

It has been a while since I posted anything. Hopefully some of the stuff I have been working on will go live soon and I can throw it up. I am going to try to and start up my drawing of the day posts again. So this is a quick starter. More to come if time permits.

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.

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

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.
