I'm calling it the Epi-blog (clever, huh?).<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/EpilogueTutorials/~4/K9kchiFH2S8" height="1" width="1"/> http://tutorials.epilogue.net/blog/epilogue-blog/feed 0 http://tutorials.epilogue.net/marketing/the-killer-portfolio-part-2-revenge-of-the-killer-portfolio http://tutorials.epilogue.net/marketing/the-killer-portfolio-part-2-revenge-of-the-killer-portfolio#comments Thu, 09 Jul 2009 18:17:44 +0000 info http://tutorials.epilogue.net/marketing/the-killer-portfolio-part-2-revenge-of-the-killer-portfolio <img align="right" src="http://tutorials.epilogue.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/portfolio_thumb.png" />What is an artist statement/biography?

The only place to start is in your studio creating art, doing whatever you want to do. But artists need people who will pay money for their stuff.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/EpilogueTutorials/~4/QRDnjbAIkbM" height="1" width="1"/> http://tutorials.epilogue.net/marketing/the-killer-portfolio-part-1/feed 0 http://tutorials.epilogue.net/misc/my-favorite-photoshop-features-and-tricks-part-2 http://tutorials.epilogue.net/misc/my-favorite-photoshop-features-and-tricks-part-2#comments Mon, 30 Mar 2009 17:00:33 +0000 info http://tutorials.epilogue.net/tutorials/my-favorite-photoshop-features-and-tricks-part-2 <img align="right" src="http://tutorials.epilogue.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/pshop_tricks1.jpg" /> In the final installment of Photoshop tips and tricks, Patrick continues with a few more of favorites tricks and shares some great ideas sent in by readers.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/EpilogueTutorials/~4/rqFeCCJ7x-k" height="1" width="1"/> http://tutorials.epilogue.net/misc/my-favorite-photoshop-features-and-tricks-part-2/feed 0 http://tutorials.epilogue.net/misc/my-favorite-photoshop-features-and-tricks-part-1 http://tutorials.epilogue.net/misc/my-favorite-photoshop-features-and-tricks-part-1#comments Wed, 25 Mar 2009 18:21:08 +0000 info http://tutorials.epilogue.net/tutorials/my-favorite-photoshop-features-and-tricks-part-1 <img align="right" src="http://tutorials.epilogue.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/pshop_tricks.jpg"/> In this two-part article, Patrick presents some of the hidden gems he's found over the years that help him work in PhotoShop more efficiently.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/EpilogueTutorials/~4/kOS611PJytM" height="1" width="1"/> http://tutorials.epilogue.net/misc/my-favorite-photoshop-features-and-tricks-part-1/feed 0 http://tutorials.epilogue.net/ask-an-editor/ask-an-editor-socar-myles http://tutorials.epilogue.net/ask-an-editor/ask-an-editor-socar-myles#comments Tue, 03 Feb 2009 22:30:10 +0000 info http://tutorials.epilogue.net/ask-an-editor/ask-an-editor-socar-myles <img align="right" src="http://tutorials.epilogue.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/ask_socar.jpg" />The Epilogue editors can't answer for the entire illustration industry, of course, but we can give you a head start by letting you in on how we make our decisions. In each Ask an Editor article, one of our editors will tackle a rejected image, explaining exactly why it didn't make the grade, and offering suggestions for improvement.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/EpilogueTutorials/~4/heXKkS5Qnvs" height="1" width="1"/> http://tutorials.epilogue.net/ask-an-editor/ask-an-editor-socar-myles/feed 0 http://tutorials.epilogue.net/marketing/the-fantasy-artists-guide-to-ebay-part-2 http://tutorials.epilogue.net/marketing/the-fantasy-artists-guide-to-ebay-part-2#comments Wed, 28 Jan 2009 00:13:29 +0000 info http://tutorials.epilogue.net/marketing/the-fantasy-artists-guide-to-ebay-part-2 <img align="right" src="http://tutorials.epilogue.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/ebay_thumb.png" /> In the last issue, Socar covered the the process of listing your fantasy art for auction on eBay.

What about a reserve? Is it better to open an eBay store and run long-term fixed-price auctions, or avoid the monthly shop fee in favour of individual listings? And what sells best--originals or prints? Socar Myles presents a walk-through aimed at fantasy artists.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/EpilogueTutorials/~4/CruMJ89436Q" height="1" width="1"/> http://tutorials.epilogue.net/marketing/the-fantasy-artists-guide-to-ebay-part-1/feed 0 http://tutorials.epilogue.net/principles/a-step-by-step-guide-to-completing-a-commissioned-project http://tutorials.epilogue.net/principles/a-step-by-step-guide-to-completing-a-commissioned-project#comments Sun, 11 Jan 2009 03:00:43 +0000 info http://tutorials.epilogue.net/tutorials/a-step-by-step-guide-to-completing-a-commissioned-project <img align="right" src="http://tutorials.epilogue.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/commission_thumb.jpg">This time out, Patrick goes in-depth into the process of working on a job from start to finish. From client contact to the final delivery, he’ll give you a look into the thoughts and techniques used to take a rough idea and turn it into a completed art assignment. To do this, we’ll be following the creation of a piece of art for the Game of Thrones Collectible Card Game, from a client Patrick has done a lot of work for, Fantasy Flight Games.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/EpilogueTutorials/~4/x06980lg4Bs" height="1" width="1"/> http://tutorials.epilogue.net/principles/a-step-by-step-guide-to-completing-a-commissioned-project/feed 0
