[Pixeldragoon]

I just want to say wow. Bruno- to be honest I was VERY suprised at how good your work is... I thought it was going to be messier and a bit off... But you have a great graphic style. My ONLY crit for you about your characters is that perspective plays such a large role in some of those designs, make sure you practice at least a little bit on less warped stuff. It isn't a bad thing I mean- in fact it's quite impressive!!! Good luck to ya!

[brunoguedesdemorais]

hey PixelDragoon , thanks bro , im very happy with your comment to be honest since im 22 now , and discovered this concept industry a few months ago, and i have to say it was love in first date ehhehehe, im working right now to improve more and more , doing characters, vehicles , weapons and enviros ,, when i have a nice portfolio to show i will put here in CA (i hope soon!) cause i will seek for a job!!

, thanks for all!

[characterdesigner]

[juliabax]

Ok, I don´t think my work is fitting for these jobs.

But I would like to seize this opportunity to ask the nice people at Massive Black to please, please have a series of Workshops here in Brazil. Maybe in Sao Paulo, maybe in Rio... I would be the first to apply! Please?

:teeth:

[MArcella Cappelletti]

Hello Jason! Any news about Massive Black here in Brazil?
We never hear news about it, and can't wait for it!

It would be great!
...

[Eric Gerhard]

Sure, Jason... I agree with Marcella... I've called Massive Black at the end of 2006, and they told me to wait and send my updated portfolio. But when will you open your season here?

We're anxious! heheheh!

Cheers!
