Hi people

As I mentioned before, I started a new blog with a bunch of artists / friends, it has a decent amount of posts now so I thought I'd make it official.

You can check it out at bananaorange.com

My piece Deadland Zombies 2 got picked to be a Daily Deviation, so yay.

I had a lot of fun working on this piece for Pinnacle Entertainment, well, Zombie Cowboys, who wouldn't like that.

Thanks to  =Natalia-Luz who suggested the piece and `Hyazintha who featured it


Shameless self-promotion

Well since I'm getting a lot of visits today, I thought I'd mention that I have a blog where I upload most of my work and I'll start uploading tutorials for those who're interested, things that I really don't post here because I don't feel like creating an image with height of a million pixels.

felipegaona.blogspot.com I'll add a banner to make it look prettier someday.

www.felipegaona.com And this is my website, I'm not really original with names.

Collective of artists

www.bananaorange.com Is a collective of artists friends that we started, if you're interested in their work too you might want to take a look.

Commissions

I've been getting a few notes about commissions, if you're interested, I'm always open to do some work, just drop me a note and let's see what you have in mind.


This is the most I've written in deviantART by far, until the next time and thanks for dropping by!

Hey people

Characters 30 USD

Hey

Just made a new website for my illustration purposes.

You can check it out at:

Still looking for commissioners, 30 USD per character people!

So I'm a bit short of money these days, and I decided to offer cheaper commissions, I'll lower the price for a character illustrations to $30 USD, which is half of what I usually charge (you can check my other journals).

The idea is something like this:

or this:

But in color, an probably with a simpler bg.

I'll open 8 slots which I think I can do in little time, and I'll see how it goes from there.

If you're interested just send me a note!.

Between tonal studies and underpaintings I've been invaded with the classical way of painting. I'll have to learn more about it, and there's no better way of learning than teaching.
