Episode V: A New Post

I was going to write some batshit crazy Star Wars spoof for this blog (see title), but I gave up after "rebel alien spacemen, striking from a hidden dimension, have rewired my brain circuitry."
So maybe I'll just write about what I've been up to.
Let's see... I just signed up for a bunch of online portfolio showcase sites like Behance and Altpick and things like that. I'm going to try and start posting my stuff a lot more than I have been to try and get some internet exposure. Hopefully get some commissions for paid illustration gigs if all goes well. I've been procrastinating for way too long with posting my stuff because there's always that perfectionist in me that says "oh this is almost done but there's a few things I want to tweak before it's finished finished." Well F that. lemme just put my stuff out there and do new awesomer stuff.
There's just so many super talented illustrators out there. It is inspirational and annoying at the same time. The thing that bugs me is that I know I could be making pieces just as good, its just that they did it first. Oh well.
See later posts for URLs to those sites. I've had my coroflot site mostly up-to-date so here's that one. Argh, so much to do, so few hours in a day.

Aaaaand another etch-a-sketch just because. This one's star wars themed. It's based on the cover for "The Force Unleashed" a totally badass game where you're this Sith apprentice and you can force-lightning the shit out of stormtroopers. In case u can't tell, he's crashing a star destroyer. It is a blurry picture of a friggin small-ass etch-a-sketch. By the way, doing a lightsaber (2 parallel diagonal lines) on an etch-a-sketch requires a really high midichlorian count. I'll post the actual cover for comparison.
