http://icerazerstudios.com Blog and gallery of Nathan Herman Wed, 08 Apr 2009 16:34:16 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I'm (kind of) featured on Deviantart for my fanart of Krevlornswath from Angel, played by recently deceased actor Andy Hallet.  Anyway, Deviantart put up a tribute page, and my Lorn portrait can be found on the bottom row.   Hint: it's the one below. R.I.P. Lorn/Andy http://icerazerstudios.com/?p=30 So I recently discovered a badass artist named Pat David, and I've been coloring an (unfinished?) piece he did.  I realized I haven't posted anything I've colored with really good (as in not my own) lineart.  So Mr. David was awesome enough to let me post my full color version ... http://icerazerstudios.com/?p=29 ...A pressure sensitive touchpad.  Pressure sensitive in the way that I could use it in Photoshop instead of a WACOM tablet.  I know I'm probably one of the only ones that wishes for such a thing, but it doesn't seem like that difficult of a concept...  most have a setting ... http://icerazerstudios.com/?p=28 I absolutely love coloring other artist's lineart.  I would totally do it for a living if I could.  Usually when I tell people that, they mostly just kinda furrow their brow, or smile politely; probably thinking "Well, anyone over 3 can color". I heartily disagree, though explaining why can be difficult.  ... http://icerazerstudios.com/?p=27 So today's my birthday, and while deciding to add a Twitter Widget, I realized it's nearly been a year since I updated.  A year.  That's not acceptable. To combat this severe writing lethargy and monumental lack of productivity, I've decided to *gasp* actually start blogging.  I figure maybe if I start ... http://icerazerstudios.com/?p=26 Gearing up for this years VSA Arts contest, which means I need to produce at least 3 new pieces by July 11th. Yech... lots of work, but the chance at $25,000 is kinda worth it. Before I can really do that, I need to do another tattoo design, this time ... http://icerazerstudios.com/?p=25 Been working on this for almost forever (but not quite). I actually tried to do something that is somewhat... artsy. It's something I saw in my minds eye clear as day after wrestling with ideas for my next project. Why not do something that actually has meaning ... http://icerazerstudios.com/?p=24 No, I haven't forgotten I have a website, I just haven't had alot (anything) to update with.  Actually, I still don't... but I shall soon!  Working on my largest, most "true" digital painting thus far.  I'm probably not even 40% done and the learning experience has been absolutely priceless. Here's to ... http://icerazerstudios.com/?p=23 After a long, painful absence, I finally have produced something worth posting (by my standards, at least). Immediately after watching the movie Across the Universe, I doodled out a sketch in about 15 minutes, that much later became this: Eddie Izzard as the fabulous Mr. Kite! Not only do ... http://icerazerstudios.com/?p=22 In planning ahead for the future (you know, the one where I have millions of adoring fans), I added a PayPal donation button to the side, so said fans can... donate... money.
