so a company contacted me today.
asking if I would do some freelance paintings for them.
i am happy because:
A.) this is the first time a company has actually contacted ME to do something. usually its the other way around with me begging for a job and never getting it. i said yes, of course.
B.) its halloween themed. and the content of the paintings is definitely right up my alley.
C.) something professional done for an actual big company means something to put on my portfolio. i'll have something to put on my empty list of achievements other than "hurr durr i got 4th place in an internet contest derp"
i am scared as hell because:
A.) they want the painting to be realistic. and the closest thing to realism I've managed to do is this and this. And both of those came about by sheer luck.
B.) they want the painting seperated and saved into layers so that they can have all the layers working in flash. which means I cant use Art Rage (as far as I know there's no way to save art rage files as photoshop or paintshop files with the layers intact) which means I cant use the software I used to do both of the above paintings. I dont know if I can go back to using photoshop or paintshoppro without making some hideous monstrosity.
can i complete the job and get paid? will i pull it off without fucking it up? will the justice league ever find out who killed the elongated man's wife? STAY TUNED TO FIND OUT.
EDIT:
update. it appears they sent me an attachment in their email that I did not notice which answered the 500 questions I asked in reply to their email and now they've stopped contacting me.
I done fucked up again. How glorious.
oh well.
i'll make another 'great cartoons' post soon probably.
Chaz-o
