"Don’t set your goals based on what you think you could achieve. Set your goals on what you wish you could achieve, and then believe you can" - Lorne Lanning "You have to be willing to fail and keep going, and going, and going. And most importantly you have to enjoy it or it will drive you crazy. And sometimes it will drive you crazy anyway." - Brom "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." - Steve Jobs “For an artist, there’s nothing better than having the opportunity to create a world that doesn’t – but could – exist.” -Christophe Lautrette "I'm never satisfied with my work. I resent the limitations of my own imagination." — Walt Disney "Do whatever you do so well that they'll want to see it again, and bring their friends." — Walt Disney “You should constantly challenge yourself and put yourself in adverse situations because you never know what you'll fall in love next.” - Ash Thorp "Promise them nothing and over deliver." - Unknown “You’re trying to create something that is highly compelling to people for reasons that they don’t even know – or you don’t even know. When I am working, what I am trying to do is make something that pleases me. And I take it on faith that if it pleases me, it will please other people . . . When you are working in a studio you are doing things to please somebody else; you need to take bits and pieces of what you’re doing after hours – things that make you happy – and slip them in so that nobody notices.” - Craig Mullins "The true artist is not proud, he unfortunately sees that art has no limits; he feels darkly how far he is from the goal; and though he may be admired by others, he is sad not to have reached that point to which his better genius only appears as a distant, guiding sun." - Beethoven "You can’t be content with mastery; you have to push yourself to become a student again.” - Austin Kleon
When ImagineFX Magazine approached me to create a workshop in the style of Sargent, I needed to find a perfect character to fit the luxurious style of John’s portraiture.
How about a scene from Game of Thrones?! I’d suggested to the editor at the magazine, it as an instant hit. On I went with the sketch, photo shoot and final painting. I hope you enjoy watching the process!
