Hey Azurites! Some Inspiration for ye!

Hey everyone! Happy Holidays!!!

This is a crazy time of year when family / presents / and stress are on the brain. I hope everyone is doing well.

Something interesting, I recently came across this great interview by this amazing artist who I have been following for a long time on CGHUB named Cryptcrawler (Brad Rigney is his name). This guy is interviewed by Crimson Daggers, who on youtube have a bunch of interview videos and paintovers. It is run by 2 guys who are just hilarious and awesome: Dave Rapoza (who is an amazing amazing painter) and Dan Warren (a good designer).

This interview is all about this guy's career, how he started, and what he does to help himself improve. He has worked for Wizards of the Coast and Bungie and is a hilarious interview-e. It can even be potentialy interesting background noise.. but anyways

TLDR: awesome artist & interview below

Once again happy Holidays and I would love to hear what you have all been up to / what your plans for 2013 are!

Cheers!

Bad Guy Ships, Round 2

Took Kevin's notes (and from some other friends) and pushed it flatter, blunter, more brute-like.

Bad Guy Ships

Guys, I have done like 500 iterations of this ship and I cannot figure out what a bad guy spaceship should look like!  Needs to hold a crew of 5-10 bad space bandit/pirate type dues.  I am trying to go for "ugly" and mean (it still needs to look cool, but not elegant).  Feedback please!!!
