Not really gaming related

Okay Guys,

This is not gaming related really. I am an artist and I am thinking about setting up a blog to get some of my work out there. Some of my work is loosely gaming related, and I have a series of drawings featuring a character I created, called Otis. I know there are some phenomenal artist on OP whose work I admire and whose opinion I would relish. Now, I cannot think of a good name for this blog. Any suggestions?

    How about creating an Obsidian site called "Starving Artists Wanted" ? I bet you would get a lot of attention.
    Curious, how about a listing of your favorite Obsidian artists? I will nominate "Kenari Sanura":http://www.obsidianportal.com/profile/Kenari_Sanura

    Aw, why thank you, killervp! :)

    Have you tried Deviant Art, libranchylde? That site is great for helping artists with online galleries and journals. Wordpress is always good too, as I believe they have some gallery options. I can also recommend getting on Google+, as there are tons of people in the gaming industry on that site and I see a lot of people looking for freelance illustrations and design there.

    Any chance we can get a link to see some of your art?

    I second deviantArt. I don't post much over there anymore, but it is a great way to showcase your art to a community that will truly appreciate it, and they offer the ability to link your photos in to whatever site you may be working, be it your own personal blog or whathaveyou.

    I would recommend a combination of a wordpress blog with deviantArt, that way you have a dedicated spot that you control to send people and the support of the artistic community.

    Is this something that could double as a portfolio for jobs or anything?

    Not really for jobs. It is personal. Just something I want to work on for friends and family (and any one else who wants to follow I suppose)

    Since it will be mostly for me to post new pieces with my guy Otis and just other ramblings I was thinking of something along the lines of Otis' Hollow. What do you guys think?

    If it is mostly Otis, go with that. If it is mostly yourself, go with Vstray's idea- Libran Chronicles.
    Just my 2 cents.

    Hey Guys,

    just thought i would update: I have still not had the time to start this blog, but I have decided on *Otis, Illuminated* or *Oi!*

    Also, I thought it would be a good idea if I started taking commissions for pieces and thought that gamers might appreciate *Otisian* PC portraits. I haven't decided on prices yet so that is negotiable. Also since OP has been a great source of inspiration for both my gaming and my art, I will be giving any OPiates a discount.

    I am thinking each Otisian Portrait will be around 25-30 dollars (plus shipping) with OPiates getting 50% off. I need to set a paypal account but if you guys are interested let me know. I will be happy to make your character including any clothing, gear and special items you want. If you want a background that would be extra
