Hi Tammy,

Thanks for your cool comments on my work.

As for the Tags, I'm not looking to release permissions on this at this time. I'd like to keep my options open for licensing opportunities.

Thank you.

I'd love to see the story of Dracula animated by Disney, thus I explored it with my own animated stills. 2D animation is a beautiful art form that is independent of 3D animation, hopefully with the return of Disney to 2D animation in Enchanted, we'll see more...

o m g osh your artwork is absolutely stunning!!! When I saw your Dracula pictures I thought I was gonna faint! I pray that you could turn that into an animated feature film!! I LOVE Disney, but I LOVE 2D animation just as much ^.^ I can't wait to see more!!! ^.^

Sadly Ijust read a friends issues, but know I KNOW I want to buy them, and I will to, it's some money, but hey, I used a fortune onother EQ books too, and as a old man told me just some days ago, we where actually talking about comics,and I told him about my favorite comic (EQ) publishing everything online, but I didn't regret using so much money on the more rare books, and he understood me very well and he said the same thing that I think, that it's something special having it in your hands, curl up in a chair and look at those beautiful images, read the story, and just have it there ( Real fans buy the issue ;) ) And OWD was such a masterpiece in comics ( I could go on and on about how much I like the way you draw, but I think it would be to much after a while :) ) that I want to own it, hopefully very soon, just have to get into this paypal stuff, and get the vacationmoney ( or what the correct english word would be )

I really hope you get a publisher soon, guess it would never be published in Norway ( anything good gets! ) but now I know how to shop online, hehe, took some years, but hey :)

I'm glad you got to read it. Thank you for pursuing it. It pleases me to hear that you also enjoyed the experience. It's great that you got to see and read our work from the original WD through to the online series release. You now know what our work is like as both storytellers and me as an artist, and that was 10 years ago. The new work I feel is a better work then the original WD, I hope when you read it (when we release it, need to find a publisher first), you'll think so too.

I'll soon be uploading snippets of the new comic I'm doing with Julie Ditrich.

Character model sheets, sequential pencils and sequential painted pages, or parts thereof.

Hi Gumby16,

I didn't go to any arts college at all, their response to me was....go get a job, ...so I did, with Disney animation in Australia. I'm self taught, as are most artists that I worked with while at Disney. Disney and other animation companies don't expect to teach you how to draw, they expect that is your talent when they accept you into their company. What they will teach you is how to mold your talents to their uses. Any training/papers or degrees you might get in a college really will not get you employed over another if the raw drawing talent/skill is not there. I understand that is different for 3D animation. if you have the program skill, you get preference over someone with drawing skill that has no computer knowledge...if you have both, then your a surefire.

My suggestion is learn all you can yourself through drawing as much as you can and read what artists say about the creation of their work and learn and apply that information to your new works. I'd also recommend that if animation is your interest, then get geared up with the 3D PROGRAMS THAT ARE OUT THERE, and choose your college or further studies on that basis. 3D animation skills are now (almost) a must have in todays animation market.

Best,
of luck

Hi I saw your animation still from TLM2 and i was wondering what college you went to. I want to be an animator and am now in the process of looking for schools. Any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated!
Thx!

I finally got to read it, whole OWD, every word, and the series on the black mermaid site, serie 2-4. It's so sad they never made it to the drawing board, amazing story. Looking forward to elf~fin :)

Hi Sarah,

Great to see you here. You are one of the most beautiful people I've laid eyes on. It was always a lovely day to see you and connect with a discussion at the gym.

Wishing you great successes with your own artistic pursuits.

Hugs,
Jozef

Thank you, I'll do so.

Hi there, yes here on deviantart.

Working on a new comic series now...
*Elf-Fin:iconElf-Fin: Mar 14, 2008, 7:50:04 PM
Thank you. It's sad that the price of the original series has escalated for those that want to read it fresh, but it's also quite a compliment that it has become so collectable and sought after that the price has become almost outrageous. I'm hopeful that for anyone that does purchase it at this higher secondary price that they feel they get their moneys worth. I have a handful of copies myself...I'll be hanging on to them.
