This site has MOVED!!

Journal Entry: Thu May 8, 2008, 4:43 PM
It's time to pull back the curtain. I am moving this place. New deviant page, new attitude.

[link]

In all honesty the reason for moving was pretty simple....I wanted something totally new to build from the ground up. I may use this place at some point in the future to show past work but right now it's all about the new~

check it out.

I will post that Star wars final up here in the next few days but then you are going to see tumble weeds rolling through here so get your ass over to the new page.

thanks

ricH.

tech pens aren't for everyone. I've been drawing with the literally since I was a kid. I had them 8 to 10 years before I ever even saw a comic...so it's something I've always worked with. Just happens I was able to use it in comics.

I learned with a brush and then a 102 for comics.....I then went back and just mixed all three in. I can basically ink with anything. It's all the same shit. It's your brain and hand control that basically will make or break the tool.

Tech pens are like the stiffest sharpest brush you could ever use. That's how I see it. Croww quill is like in between a brush and a pen....and then you have markers and stuff which get softer and softer.

a lot of markers and pens have crappy ink.

Haha no I just like them a lot, especially on smooth paper.

Microns too (.50 mm) It's like a 'fine point' sharpie, which I love, minus the god awful ink. Anything that doesn't require cleaning, doesn't clog and you can just pop the cap off the top and dump some ink to refill is worth it.

I wasted like 50 bucks on a set of rapidographs and was so disappointed.

Though I think pilot precise rolling balls might be the greatest widely available pen in the history of the universe.

your last name wouldn't happen to be "Castell" would it?

;)

I try all sorts of different pens. I like the quality of Faber-castell products for sure. Lately on Whilce I haven't been using hardly any tech pen. It's all hunt 102 and brush.....

I'll definitely keep those pens in mind though.

I still love microns to be honest. They work great for me although I try not to use them on other peoples art if I am inking them. They are so smooth.

thanks again.

Richard Friend! Rapidograph pens are not good! They scratch my paper. You need to use FABER-castell PITT PENS right now!

FABER-castell PITT PENS!

FABER-castell PITT PENS

be there...or BE...SQUAAAARE

Keep on rockin' man. I love your art.

Having watched the replay, I think the Ref made the right call. The second punch to the head caused Houston to go limp. He would have gotten some serious damage inflicted on him had it gone longer.

As for Ultimate Fighter Season 7, Dana finally got it right in how they go about choosing Fighters for the show. They should have done it this way from the get go.

I never want to have to sit thru a pussy that cant/wont stay in Hot Box cause he is scared to make weight or watch a fighter getting shit sucked out of his ass, cause it gets him TV time.

Also, the night before they had Ultimate Fighter 25 Greatest moments which was good. Keep an eye open for reruns.

I recorded it because I was working. I DID see the Houston Alexander fight though....9 seconds....or was it 8. That was sort of lame. I think he was ok to keep fighting....Mario Yamasaki called the fight a little too quick. He only got clipped on that first punch and he was clearly getting up and looking for more action after he got hit those other 2 times....

He didn't have that glazed 'I just got electrocuted look' those totally knocked out guys get where there body goes tight.

gonna watch everything else tonight...so no spoilers!

thanks.

Yes. except for the name.

hehehe

at least my avatar is the same. Go GOYA~!
~Blasterkid:iconBlasterkid: Mar 24, 2008, 11:08:55 PM
no, no.... no sadness. Hapiness. I had to go and focus on my work. If I have little bits and pieces of stuff sticking around...it's just not my thing right now.

No living on past art.

I want to show 100% new art. I've built a second studio onto my house...and a lot of things have changed for me...

things are going really well and I'll be back soon.

cool thanks....There's a Superman Batman book Whilce and I did 3 issues on that should be out sometime in the next 6 to 9 months....(I hope)

That's not exactly true/ I did say there are two jobs that I am waiting to see green lit. One has been in the works for about 8 or 9 months....the other is sort of going forward.

We'll see I have my game plan and I have very specific goals lined up.

I've got that new inking gig on Madame Xanadu for this summer..That gives me HUGE freedom in a way. My monthly quota is met now finally and my free time is again my free time to draw anything and any way I want.

*WarlordGrego:iconWarlordGrego: Mar 9, 2008, 9:58:45 AM
Rich, just wanted to let you know that I picked up BATMAN: Rules of Engagement.

I loved your inks, and I look forward to seeing more work from you.

The rumour I heard is he's already working on a penciling project for Wildstorm slated to come out at the end of this year. That could be why he took off.

He mentioned it here before but I met some people at Wondercon that were artists from Wildstorm who knew more about what he's working on.

Not sure if I should say or not. Comes out at the end of the year.

I'll buy it.
