Artist Sketchbook iPhone App Preview!

rapozaart — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 16:05:34 +0000

Hey everybody! Droppin in again after some crazy deadline action :O. Life has been very very hectic for me the past few weeks. I know I say something like this almost everytime I update… But this was especially hectic. Got 10 illustrations to finish! Gotta push harder than ever! Still keeping up with the studies though. Also, jumped on a new diet without any carbs from bread and generally limiting carbs to 125 grams a day. I have to say… I feel about 200% better now that I’m on this diet. Never did I realize that carbs just totally make me feel like crap. Feeling really awake, aware and excited again.

Other than that I got some good stuff comin(I hope its good :O)! Bobby Chiu asked me to do an iPhone app with him and soon it’ll be released for purchase on the iphone app store. I’ll be part of his Artist Sketchbook series! It was really to go back and collect personal works(a lot of which I finished specifically for the app) and create new illustrations exclusive to it. Below are a couple preview images! I’ll update again when it becomes available . Then you can help support this David in need.

So heres the cover and a couple pages! -

I’ll be posting regularly again soon! Finally getting through the rough patch!

Metal! Steel Vengeance – ‘Night Turns to Day’

Crimson Daggers Website!

rapozaart — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 01:47:51 +0000

Hey everybody! Finally got the Crimson Daggers website up! Thanks to Dennis Kutsenko ! I just made up some simple little layout and we got it up as a placeholder.

Check it out!

———————————————————————————————–

But anyways I wanted to put forth a challenge… If anybody is interested! Basically I don’t have much webdesign skills(as you can most likely see) but I had to get somethin up and out there. For the future though I was looking to have it redesigned so that its more presentable. Doesn’t have to have a million features or whatever but it should just be a cool splash page. It may need ad placement as well in the future if you’d like to take that into account. So anyways, if you’d like to lend a hand that would be awesome. I’d love to check out people’s mockups of the Daggers website. I’d rather see it designed by a fellow dagger who knows what theyre doin anyways haha.

This is pretty much all it needs to include -

Crimson Daggers logo – can use this for placeholder i suppose
links to the Livestreams, sketchbooks, and blogs
has to include redness, blood and possibly switchblades in design
has to have the mission statement up top(the current one was just thrown together.)
has to include stream details(currently below mission statement)

So anyways, if you’re interested please submit whatever mock ideas you may have to rapozaster@gmail.com. Don’t mean to ask for free services or anything but I’m runnin the daggers for free at the moment D:. Not much money rollin around in the pockets. Figured I would reach out to my daggers for some love. Hopefully theres a couple graphic dagger designers out there !

Thanks everybody!

Metal! Keel – ‘Thunder and Lightning’

Been a bit, busy again :O

rapozaart — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 16:15:31 +0000

Hey everybody! Trying to keep up with everything I got going on and am failing… Sometimes its best not to juggle everything at once so you don’t drop all the balls . Best to keep a strong focus. So yea, I’ve been doing the Crimson Daggers now for a good 3 months or so and have seen loads of improvement in the participants. The studies have totally helped my work along in so many ways and I find that finishing art is a hell of a lot easier than it used to be. Hopefully as time goes on this will grow and grow til we get a good couple hundred regulars on there posting work daily . Thats what I’d like to see anyways… People just getting waaay better every day and showing everybody else how its done. In the meantime though… I can wait, too much to finish all the time!

Currently I’m working on a few magazine pieces, an album cover and some personal works for an application I got going w/Bobby Chiu. Been having fun though and trying to make time to get away from art. Trying to get some time in on Mass Effect so I can unplug from my constant work and just sorta zone out. Don’t usually play games ever, in fact this is the first in a couple years, but its relaxing and I think I’ve needed that. Just have to watch out that I don’t get totally sucked in D:. Mass Effect is awesome :O!

Well, heres some art I’ve been doin :O. Just messin around for now so these are all works in progress . Then some studies.

Commission i did -

Metal! Cannon – ‘Fireblade’
