My name is Brittany Batchelder, and I'm a professionally working Illustrator & Writer for the Book/ Tarot & Publication industry, and currently a freelance 2D Concept Artist w/ 3D Art Skill-sets.

This thread is meant to post the on going progress of my General Portrait from the DW IV 2D Mini Challenge. I plan on finishing this by the time the main challenge begins (March 12th).

Thanks guys! I have to admit that I was a little down yesterday when the results were out ; ) but I made a few comments on GA and really each time I join these competitions I learn a lot more and gain a portfolio piece after a month to 2 months time so it's beneficial after all.

They stream from the game media anyway, and it's all setup so that seek-times are minimized. Only sequential reads matter. A SSD is awesome on a PC, because of the ability to quickly access…
Woah! Well, let me start by saying that I would like to know samurai as much as you do!) I am very flattered for this attention, appreciate and thank you very much for everything you said! Now is the time to try to explain myself a little, dot the i's and cross the t's.. And yes, it is pretty frustrating how difficult it…
I personally think cliche is so overused to describe things... I don't care if I've seen something 100 times, does it show thought, detail and technical precision?
