Freelancer's Guide part 2: Deadlines

The Second Rule of Freelancing: The best jobs will almost kill you, but you'll be glad you took them.

 At some point every freelancer will get the call: I need these 10 things in 10 hours. Yes, I know it's impossible so here's some extra money.

 I always dread these, but a small part of me is excited at the challenge, followed a few hours later by the part of me that wants to punch myself for always taking these jobs. It's amazing what some crushing pressure can do to your work. To that end, here's some 1 hour pieces done under just those conditions..not masterpieces by any means but not too bad all things considered ( All work courtesy In Character Games ).




This may be the best crazy guy expression I've ever done.


Fully half the hour on this piece was spent lovingly detailing the star wars blanket. I think this one may be my favorite.


Not sure how good of a shield my monitor would make, but it works for this guy.

good ol containment suits- no face to draw...


OK at this point my hand was cramping up so I used a previous sketch of the background.

Man that brought up a bunch of painful memories..you know what, I'm never doing this again!
