Editorial
Welcome to Issue 031!
Well, we’re oficially
halfway through 2008
now, and seriously
questioning where the
time goes these days
as we get stuck into the
serious work on your
August issue already!
So before we wake
up to Christmas bells
ringing in the morning,
let me quickly mention
some of this month’s
highlights so you can
get stuck in!
First of all, I can’t help
but excitedly tell you about our brand new Space Painting Tutorial Series
by the we-can’t-believe-he-has-time-to-write-tutorials-for-us busy Dr. Chee
Ming Wong (page 101) . Chee actually called me up not too long ago to
ask me if he had any limitations as to what he could write for this tutorial,
as he loves to get into the theory and talk about the details in depth, and
as soon as we heard this we got really excited and simply couldn’t wait to
see the inished draft... which we proudly feature in this magazine – just for
you! Chee certainly impresses us all with this irst tutorial instalment, and
I am proud to announce that this tutorial series will in fact be running for
this and the next 11 months! Yep, that’s right: a 12-month tutorial series all
about space art creation – so get your space hats on, pick up your Wacom
and get painting! We all expect to see some wonderful space creations
this time next year, so no excuses – get stuck in and learn from the Master,
exclusively in 2DArtist mag!
Our must-see interview this month is with ArenaNet Concept Artist, Rich
Anderson, aka “FlapTraps” (page 041) . We ind out where the nickname
“FlapTraps” originated from, all about his work environment and his
inspirations... and how he has developed the trick of using the eraser in
Photoshop to enhance his awe-inspiring artworks! This interview is pretty
much packed with all the kind of stuff that great interviews are made of, and
because we love his work so much we’ve given plenty of his images full-
page spreads to really get the creative juices lowing in all of you. So enjoy
Rich’s offerings and don’t say I didn’t warn you about that inspiration thing
– you’ll be diving on that Wacom in no time, trust me!
We’ve actually taken a ‘politically correct’ stance on our interviews this
month, with equal measures of interview goodness from the guys and gals.
There’s plenty in this issue for all and everyone, so get reading before the
August issue comes out and you run out of time! *winks*
We’ve heard that a lot actually: that we put so much content in our mags
that it’s actually hard to get through the whole issue – cover to cover – in
just a month! Well, we take that as a compliment as we’re not likely to stop
providing the packed content anytime soon, so enjoy the latest instalment
from the 2DArtist team and feel free to let us know what you think! Ed.
