Recently, I got turned on to a program called ArtRage. It's basically an oil paint simulator similar to Corel Painter, but it's significantly cheaper and of course the features are stripped way down. That isn't a bad thing, though, as the interface is quite intuitive. There are a couple more features that it could have, but overall it's easy to pick up as long as you have a basic understanding of how oil paints work.

A couple of hours playing around with the program made this little guy. I was basically just going at it freestyle, so nothing perfect here. But I thought it was pretty cool looking and it's neat to see results so quickly with this program. If you have any interest in digital art (particularly digital art that tries to mimic real paint), then I highly recommend this program. What does "significantly cheaper" mean. $25.00 for the full version! How can you possibly complain about that price? Go buy it!

 Behold! The Monolith now have T-shirts (featuring art by myself) available for their new album. Go grab one today by visiting their official blog! 

I am now starting mail-orders for my limited edition prints of some of my recent art, specifically my work for death metal supergroup, Bloodbath*.

I still have a couple of other projects that are before I actually start painting, but here is the first concept sketch for "Pazuzu, Lord of Fevers and Plagues", which will be a companion piece to last year's "Humwawa, Lord of Abominations". 

This isn't the composition or anything, just me jotting down ideas. Hopefully, I'll be able to start on this around August, finishing up in September!

Here's something that I really want to plug. Armando Munoz, who's been a good friend of mine for around 11 years or so, has an article about his work on Fangoria.com...and on the mainpage no less! Armando and his Eek Entertainment brand have been making filthy, disgusting (not to mention hilarious) short movies for years now, but it seems that he is finally getting what he deserves: mainstream recognition! 

Check out the article which has lots of pics, an interview, and 2 trailers!
