So my family and I went to Islands of Adventure this past weekend and it really got me thinking. See, ever since it's inception I've loved IoA's concept of a theme park with several different themed islands. Every time I go there (I live in Florida, so it happens often) one question comes to mind:

How come Nintendo doesn't make a theme park!?

My sister and I are standing around while in the park just brainstorming the possibilities of an actual Nintendo land. You could have one portion of the park dedicated to Mushroom Kingdom, where you can have tons of scenery from various Mario games (Underground tunnel, Princess Peach's castle, pipes and bricks everywhere) and have an endless amount of rides including Mario Kart and some Yoshi nonsense.

But it doesn't even end there. You see, Nintendo has such a repertoire of franchises under their belt that they could easily make an iconic theme park that people would flock to. I mean, can you imagine fricken Mushroom Kingdom, Hyrule, Pokemon, Metroid, and many other places that you could walk around and interact with in a theme park. It would be amazing! It had to at least cross Nintendo executives' minds, right? I'm guessing maybe the financial aspect of running a theme park could be an issue with them, but so what.

Do this in my lifetime Nintendo and I will love you forever.

Hey everyone,

I recently graduated from The Art Institute, finally earning my Bachelors in Illustration, and currently looking for work like crazy (Spending entire days shooting emails and trying to network). So in the meantime I've been trying to get my freelancing up and going a little more. So with that here's my new and improved price listing sheet for commissions:

Thumbnails: $20


Various thumbnails of characters or creatures based on your ideas or concepts.

Character Sketches: $30


Sketch of either your character or an existing one.

Character Renders: $50


Fully rendered illustration of your character or an existing character.

Character Bust: $50


Portrait of a character from the waist or shoulders up.

Full Illustration: $60


Full character drawing complete with background.

Realistic Portrait: $80


Realistic portrait of anything you want: Yourself, a friend, your character, an existing character, etc. Extremely detailed and extremely time consuming, haha.

Well, that's about it. If you're interested then simply note me here or email me at schillingconcepts@yahoo.com.

Thanks!

Hey everybody!

Just wanted to let you know that I'm starting to do digital portrait commissions! So if you're interested please check out the details here: [link]

Thanks!

Hey guys, I just got a blogspot and I'm really excited to get started.

I'll be posting a lot of my work on there as well as showing my processes and inspiration for my work. So if you want to see more of my art please check out my page here: [link]

Also, let me know if you have one so I can follow your work as well.

Thanks!

Hey guys, I know I don't usually post too many journal entries, but some bad news hit my school yesterday. I total of 45 people were laid off at The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale Wednesday morning, with 21 of them being instructors. This is a move that Education Management Corporation (EDMC) has implemented in the past, but not in a huge amount like this. Most of these instructors had a huge impact on the development of our programs and cared deeply about our education. Some of them have personally molded me into the artist I am today and I would not be the same without them.

This mass lay off has crippled the illustration department and lessens the quality of our education, yet our tuition still remains ridiculously expensive. I'm urging everyone who reads this to please sign this petition to make EDMC aware of the distress it's caused to our school and it's plummeting situation. Us students will also be doing our part in casting a light on this situation. We plan on having non-violent protests, putting out flyers, creating a web presence, etc.

All I'm asking of you is to help our cause by signing this petition. Thank you.

Hey guys, just wanted to let everybody know that I'm still alive and will be posting more Mortal Kombat redesigns soon!

I've been busy with finals for school this week and will probably be busy next week, but then I'll be getting out of school for the summer and be able to focus on art that I WANT to do and not assigned to do, haha.

Anyways, I'll be dog sitting at someone's house in 2 weeks, and last time I watched their house I broke out like 10 MK redesigns within a week, so get ready to have your notifications flooded with MK stuff.

P.S. I'll put the MK Redesign list back up as soon as I start drawing them again.

Alright, so as some of you know I like to do redesigns of characters, especially Mortal Kombat. Well, I've been think long and hard and decided I want to send a portfolio to Netherrealm Studios, showcasing some of my MK redesigns as well as other stuff.

So I'm deciding right now to rework some of my old MK designs as well as do some new redesigns of characters (I'm thinking Baraka). So please whoever is looking at this, hold me accountable to my word. I have a habit of losing interest in long projects, but if you guys pester me to work on it and comment on my new MK stuff it will inspire me to work harder at this.

Thanks, and look forward to some new MK stuff!
