Awesome work, Jason! The last one's really great and I love how you went about rendering the fire in the fourth pic! Hope you're doing well, buddy!

Chin Fong said...

Awesome illustrations. I really like how you render pants with detail without distracting from the rest of the image. Really cool stuff. Also I had to read girl with silver eyes in elementary school.

Florian Stitz said...

Wow, I love the girl with the lion, Jason!
The fire is really cool and I like how her eyes shine.

Eric-Anthony said...

omg.. awesome work!! its funny because ive actually checked on ur blog yesterday and thought: man, jason could update this more often.. haha..

Mark Lawrence said...

All spectacular! The 'Prince of Thorns' illustration is of course my favourite... And there's so much detail buried in there.

EYARDT said...

Just awesome !
A big bravo from France...
(eventhought, from a little froggie dude like me, it' seems to be a "small" bravo !)
Keep on making us dream, and I go back to my pencils....

Sam Chan said...

They're reprinting The Girl With Silver Eyes? That was one of my favorite books as a kid! Nice take on it! :D

NorwegianAngel said...

Wow, amazing work! I especially like the "Prince of Thorns" illustration!

markmurata said...

I saw your cover for the original Geist today. It wasn't even showing the full cover -- just a small image on the spine. Still, it stuck out to me and I looked at the book to see the cover art.

Mariusz Kornatka said...

wow, great works

nike air max said...

Great article, I think you covered everything there.

Pieter said...

Very cool!

Love the first and last one especially

By the way, did you do conceptart for that new Valve Dota game? Cause I thought it kinda looked like something you'dd do.

Tannie said...

Hi! I really love the technique for focusing on one of the eyes on the girl with silver eyes. That's awesome, and emotionally powerful. She seems very ghostly...

Your drawings are, as always, awesome. Wouldn't be the first time that I buy a book just because you're responsible for the cover.

This is a weird request, but, as the artist responsible for Lisa Mantchev's covers, is there any chance that you could upload the non-cover images that you drew and appeared in this booktrailer? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DjcbesXSk4&feature=player_embedded

Anyways, even if you don't thanks a lot for uploading this.

Jason,
How have you been? Great I hope. I hope your careers are are going well. I am writing you because I have been asked to build an portfolio online class for the Academy. And I thought it would be a good idea to include interviews with former students who are now professionals. I am not sure of how the logistics will work yet. Right now I am thinking it will be a recorded phone conversation. Would you be interested in helping me out.

Hi Jason! Just wanted to stop by and see your latest work. I'm always so amazed by your stuff. I should have gotten your autograph when we were still in school. LOL And I love the dragon and the fire...OOOOOOO! Take care and I hope life is treating you well!

Hi Jason, I'm not sure if you'll see this, but since I have not heard from you I am assuming that you are currently unavailable. I just wanted to notify you that we are moving forward with another artist on the commission.

love your art

Sugabelly said...

Your work is awesome, but why don't you draw more black/African characters? Most of your characters are white or Asian.

Let`s write that letter we thought of writing "one of these days Tibia Gold, just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have Tibia coins, don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you sro gold.

Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there, RuneScape Gold to change your future, alter your decisions today, RS Gold. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away RS2 Gold.
