Super Mario "Thwomp" Painting

Hey all,

Just had to show this one off ;)
I've been training a bit in Painter and I always liked the Thwomps from Super Mario. 

For the retro fans   :cheers:

You could make some cash doing custom cab/cp art.  That's fantastic.

Yeah, but custom art always takes more time than you can make back in cash. Unless you can charge by the hour. Now bartering, that is where its at.

Sometimes, it's not about the money.

Great work!

Exactly. Then you can trade your time for someone elses. I love helping people, art is just one of those things that takes a long time and people often take advantage of you. Not necessarily because they are intending to, but they just don't understand that it takes a really long time to finish something exactly as they see it.

Hey thanks for the comments guys.
Yah over the years I have found money and art to be constantly butting heads.  My old project manager and I would have weekly tug o wars.  "Make it look awesome in 2 hours!"

 :angry:

And although I won't see a cent from that Thwomp it does make me happy.
I need to do some more Painter training.  Any suggestions?

Internet tutorials got me started with everything. A good night class at a comunity college is always awesome and gives you a chance to really pick someones brain that knows more than you do. Barnes and noble also has a bunch of books you could take a look at. Not to mention your local library.

In the end. Practice practice practice practice practice.
