Hey guys,
I have just interviewed Mandrill, Moderator of PixelJoint. He is amazing guy, who loves movies and beer and so many amazing stories to share!
Here's an Excerpt from it:
I've never really tried to get better per se, but rather focused on understanding and getting a feeling for colour, lighting, texture, aa, form etc. in order to make working on a piece easier and not as time consuming. Lots of studies, especially Paul Bonner's work. (as mentioned above). I basically tried to simplify my workflow which is not that complicated at all.
All I want is to look at a piece I did and get a warm cozy feeling in my gut.
I don't use any traditional media at all, but used to scribble with brush pens a lot.
