[QUOTE="Hunter, post: 2701695, member: 14845"] Hello Bront, Thank you again for your compliment on my Grymsnarl picture. Your above question is hard to answer in general. I think every artist gets obsessed with some kind of subject matter. Even though we are all fantasy artists here there is still a wide diversity to choose from. In my case I try to do free character portraits that I can post on my online portfolio inwhich I can then show to editors for the particular company I desire to work for. Usually once you get a couple of jobs the editors that contact you again have a new job that they think you are good for based on your work in the past. So I try to fill my portfolio up with images of creatures and characters that I would like to do for a published job. Things I need to add to my portfolio are things like: Women characters-(showing my knowledge of anatomy and proportions), Anything Undead, Knights or Fighters in armor, Demons and Devils, Extra-planar creatures-(like Beholders), Dragons, Mind-Flayers, Yuan-Ti, Intellect Devourers, Giants, Medieval Batte Scene-(something extremely graphic and bloody like the Battle of Agincourt), Mad Scientists/Alchemist/Wizard's Laboratory, Golems, Trolls,Ankegs, Couatls, Chimeras, Perytons, Ogre Magi, Ogres and Blink Dogs, Elves and Drow, 1/2 human 1/2 Dragon, 1/2 Orcs, 1/2 Elves, 1/2 Demon or Cambions, 1/2 Yuan-Ti, Sahuagin, Sphinx, All in all I lean towards the Darker Characters as far as character portraits.
