Made a video again :P...another fake Parashi Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGa8pPlOxuQ
It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

Everything! Wolves, foxes, fennec foxes, ferrets, servals, bobcats, tigers, other big cats, small cats, deers, dragons, gryphons, dogs, birds, hybrids, original species.. bring it!
I'm leaving the details to your imagination, but here are some things I really like:
-White base color with black and red markings<33 (mostly on canines)

The Echo chamber dilemmaThe promise of the Internet was that unlimited information and experiences would draw us together. But instead it seems to have driven us apart.
For years I've observed this behavior but haven't been able to vocalize it correctly. Originally I called the behavior of collective opinions as "the hive mentality" of the Internet. But that wasn't exactly right and I often got called out on it. The most prominent example was when I made a comic about a guy disagreeing with opinions and being shouted at till he remained quiet, eventually fading into the background with everyone else. The consensus of that comic was that if you disagree with someone you aren't bullied into not speaking, but instead are free to go someplace else where people who do agree with you exist. And you know what? That wasn't what i was trying to convey, but is sadly true. The Internet is not a hive mind. It's many tiny pocket echo chambers of mutual agreements.
And this is becoming a growing problem, I think, because n

Callibrate your Wacom tutorialHad you finally made the transition from intuos 3 to intuos 4?, or Are you rich to change into an intuos 5? Had you made the transition from a first generation cintiq to the new ones?. More levels of pressure will mean more quality to the paintings, am i right?.
Did you thought that by default the pen will it be like using butter on bread?, you try it for the first time and you love all of it, you said i have sooooooo much control on my strokes im having a blast. Then only to realize you only have total control of the brush but when you are moving it really slow?. But when you do quick strokes the pressure drops a lot of paint making you redraw tons of stuff?
Did you ever thought that painter its hard to handle with new tablet? Too much pressure? If it has more pressure why i cant control more easier the beggining of the stroke which is more crucial?.
Have you ever open the customize option in wacom settings, only to feel dumb and no

Workshop #2 is over, thanks for coming!

by *tombancroft, Aug 10, 2012, 8:22:16 AM
Journals / Personal

I had a good time last night with the LIVE Character Mentor Workshop.  Many of you showed up even though we had some tech issues getting the email link out to you all.  It finally showed up in your emails about a half hour before the event.  So sorry for that.  I just posted the LIVE sketch I did last night of the boxer ([link] was "Won" by the participant who's assignment drawing I liked the best and will be mailed to him this week.

For those of you that missed it, I'm sorry.  I just figured out that I deleted the event rather than saving it in "drafts".  For those of you that missed it, I was planning on posting it for 24 hours and notifying you about it.  (I did that last time too.)  I'm new to Livestream and discovering new things that bug me about it as the days go on, but overall, its okay.  I am trying to make these workshops as exclusive as possible to honor those that pay for it.  There are ways that you can sneak in at the last minute without paying and I hope that none of you get tempted to do that.  There is a business side to this for me and costs on my end (Taylor keeps saying she wants a raise!) so please keep that in mind if you ever get tempted to pass a link along or view it without payment.  My goal is to grow this into a community.  I love DA for the community aspect but I feel these workshops go another step further and are more specific to people that create/draw/work with characters.

Along those lines, I want to be able to post ALL of the submissions that we get for each assignment given.  I feel bad that I have only spotlighted a few of them.  Many I don't show are really well done also!  SO- I want to create a DA page for the Character Mentor Studio Workshops.  If some of you know a thing or two about those, let me know what it entails.  It should be a place where we can all continue the conversations we start at the Live workshops and post the assignments.  Maybe other stuff we are doing too. Let me know your thoughts on that.  This is just the start and I'm excited to see where things go!

Along those lines, we want to start making a more formal schedule for the workshops (at least tentatively).  Our goal is to do them every 2 weeks!  Next one is scheduled for Thurs, August 23rd.  Start planning on it, I sure will!  There's still tons more to learn and do and bring to life!

God bless, Tom B.

Second workshop was super great and way much smoother than first workshop. I sticky note 5 points you gave is on my wall above drawing table. Very useful and will not forget where I get from. See you on 23rd and it's our 10th wedding anniversary. josh

*tombancroft Aug 14, 2012 Professional Filmographer

Wow, I hope the wife doesn't mind you spending some time with me on your anniversary. Glad you are liking them too. I am also!

~JoshHeusinkveld Aug 14, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Believe me she will let me spend time with you because she full support me to be better artists. I'll email you few suggestion to your character mentor email account and see you on 23rd. josh

*nighte-studios Aug 12, 2012

It would be great if you could somehow have a way to digitally purchase pre-recorded sessions. I'm not sure how you could go about that though..

~martinellie Aug 11, 2012 Student Filmographer

Great workshop. Thank you so much for your time! I also like the subscription idea you mentioned

~jameskoenig1 Aug 10, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

This second workshop was great. I love the 5 points you gave. I will be trying to remember those as much as I can while I draw. And I appreciate seeing you working through things in your drawings during the draw portion and critique portion. It helps confirm to me that the monologue that goes on in my head is on the right track, as far as problem solving during sketching is concerned.

*tombancroft Aug 10, 2012 Professional Filmographer

Thanks man. I'm glad you got something from it

~Hidebox Aug 10, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

damn, i missed it again D: , the next workshop , definitely!!

=painted-flamingo Aug 10, 2012

you could always just create a group for Character Mentor Studio Workshops. They have a spot for discussion forums where you could continue the conversations and people could just submit their work to the group gallery
