new to the site and industry

[zropple]

what's up everybody, i just discovered this site yesterday...seems like a good resource. here's my background.
i've been an artist my whole life, but i just recently went digi. i just started using photoshop this past September ('04) and i am currently saving up for illustrator. so far, all i've done is couple vehicle renders and couple business cards. once i get illustrator, i'm gonna start on logo design.

here's ALL of my photoshop work since i started, i post all the work to show the growth of my experience.
PS renders

and here's one of my card designs.

Hello & welcome,


I know this is your 1st post but please can you resize your images (W: 500px Max) this reduces the amount of scrolling required for those on a low screen resolution.


Many thanks


Btw. like the Dodge render.

no problem...sorry bout that. i edited the posts.

and thanks for the compliment...i'm still learning, somewhat proud of that one.

thx for the comments guys. agn, i'm a beginner...so helps to hear some positive reinforcement...neg can be good, too. lol. i'm starting school this month an hope to have my AA by the end of spring 2006...but basically, i just want to learn how to really use both PS, Ill, and other sw. eventually i want to be an advertising designer (magazine layout, print design...logo design, etc.)

Wow!, it looks like you must spend quite some time on each piece!, great work . You will have a whole new perspective when you start using Illustrator, it will be really interesting to see what you can come up with!

take care and welcome!

it takes about 6-10 hours per render (complete render...the quickies are just that.) yep, i cant wait for illustrator...i tryin to swing a deal w/ my school...i cant afford ill right now, took me a while to get photoshop, but well worth it.
