Surely, one of these days, someone is going to say something about how many DDs (Daily Deviation features) I’ve accrued. I’m up to four already as of today, and it won’t be long before people have had enough of me, I’m sure! =p
My failed FEZ contest entry, held by DeviantArt, was chosen for the honor today. While I’m quite proud of the contrast work in this piece, it has several flaws—it didn’t even make it into the semi-finalists.
I wish they had waited a little longer because I was seriously considering revamping this piece for my portfolio. The contrast and lighting are strong, and it’s one of my most successful thumbnails or “reads well from a distance” pieces. Again, I owe a shout-out to the guys over at FZD School of Design for their amazing tutorials, which frequently cover this very concept. However, the resolution is quite low, and I desperately want to rework some areas that I simply ran out of time to address.
And would you believe it? I also won the April Monthly Challenge over at ImagineFX! That means I will most likely be published again, which is way, way cool. :D At the same time, though, my current Monthly Challenge (which I had the honor of choosing) has a much more complex and epic entry in progress—one that I feel definitely deserves publishing over last month’s entry. Here’s a sneak peek:

Congratulations on everything going well for you so far :). And not to get your hopes up or anything, but I think that you starting freelance work just as you've gained recognition from ImagineFX is going to lead to good things right off the bat! :)
Thank you very much Chris. I sure hope so! ;)
