[walnut]

So much talent it scares me.

[Craig D]

kickass stuff from everyone. Very inspiring.
I'm also going to have to mention Jedmos Egypt piece though. Some of those textures/ detail would make my eyes bleed.

[bluefooted]

I'm so out of the loop that I have no idea what an 'Atelier' even is. But it must be awesome!

This stuff is great! I can't believe those cast studies are drawings - I want to reach out and grab them. Wonderful work!

[Chuck,mate.]

great job guys. nice seeing you people ain`t just sitting on your hands there.
;)

looking forward to more of your learning experience.

CA.orgers rule.

[bloab]

what?..ow my g... how the hell! you just took art to a whole new level imo!!
oftoppic TEEF! under your name means bitch in dutch :P

[MarkBehm]

Nice work everybody. You guys are really crankin!
How come they give you time to post?

[Carl Dobsky]

I'm really proud of the progress all of you have made. The only thing that I can't figure out is why you guys can figure out how to give yourselves 5 stars on a thread instead of doing something useful like faking student I.D.'s so you can get discounts on art supplies. Whatever, eventually you're going to take our jobs anyway. Then just remember your poor old teachers and buy us our art supplies so we can continue on with our pathetic lives.

[Jason Manley]

:) I'm proud of all of you. To think, we are only a few months into the program. There is a lot of strong work for being so early. Growth is happening quickly. Keep it up!!!

[guggemmaneuver]

heartstoppingly awesome progress!

thank you for sharing!

[Slash]

Aw crap that settles it. I have to get into this shit!

GOGOGO!


Kickass stuff guys!

[Stark]

*kills Mr. Blonde and steals identity* Yeah, we've been working our asses off and slave driven by the MB guys... Great learning experience all around really...

Amazingly sick thread. These works are excellent for being produced in such a short time at the Atelier, it shows the dedication of the students and the excellence of this Atelier, so jealous now... Keep it up!

[Call0ps]

Wow really awesome work, very inspiring guys.

[Ramon Hurtado]

wow i cant believe i hadn't seen this before, you guys and gals kick truckloads of ass!

[cotron]

Hey everyone- a small update, and an announcement!

We've got two spots opening up, maybe a third, and we want serious applicants.
The new students can start on September 1st, or as soon as possible to that date. So, send your portfolios! Rest assured your portfolio will be seen, but it's busy here, so most likely only potential candidates will receive a reply. If you're committed to learning, send your portfolio by email to carl@massiveblack.com.

Looking forward to meeting new faces- til then, here's a small dose of the new stuff we've been up to. More to come!

[Tempor]

Good luck to those who apply. Looking forward to see some new talent.

[Justin.]

Swear Chupie that could be a coro/nox painting aside from some small anatomical bits.

very awesome

If only I was better at art. if only I could stop posting in the damn lounge.. =(

Good luck to all who apply!!!

[Ninja_ASSN]

Thats so awesome, all these art pieces make me drool and wanting to learn more. Next year I'll probably try to apply if there will be any free spaces, till then... finishing school here and work work work so I'll have any chances at all :D

[bumskee]

awsome.. brilliant work... *drools*

[Stark]

Wish I could lvl up before the 1st of Sept. so I could attend... :( I'll have to watch from a far

[Mr Man]

All that life drawing looks like a hell of a lot of fun. Hoping to apply after uni, which wont be for another 3 years hehe.

Good luck to all who apply for September :)

Rich.

[InvertedChalupa]

Inverted Chupacabra? lol its Invertedchuachuta jerkle!

[harachte]

my thoughts exactly :D
extremely powerful work you mofos :)

[Juhani Jokinen]

Amazing work here! I'll definitely keep an eye on this thread.

-JJ

[jadefoodog]

whats the price on the attelier??

[Jason Manley]

currently six hundred dollars / month USD.

[Wasker]

That's beauty that is.

[Sway West]

You guys are amazing-- you've improved so much since you started at the atelier! Go, go go!

I have a question about the openings, just out of curiosity... When spots open, is it because other students have left the atelier, courses are freed up, students have finished the program...?

[designboot]

great stuff!

[jadefoodog]

sweet deal once i get to the point where im actually good enough to get into the atelier i will just have to find work at a tattoo shop near the atelier to pay for it. its something i am really looking forward to doing once im ready

[Jason Manley]

We have had the space all along and originally planned on seventeen students. There was a vacancy created when one of the students was unable to continue also...but we are all settled in and the decision was made to add to the group. If you are interested, let us know.

This little update does little justice to the amount of nice work created so far. I look forward to seeing a full update.


J

[sweetoblivion314]

wow you guys are doing awsome! seeing this makes me so mad i haven't been able to afford to go to the figure drawing sessions.

quick question about the atelier. I remember way back when you first where talking about the school you said you where thinking about making an option to go a Fine Arts path and an option to go a Concept art path. is that the case or did you narrow it down to only the concept art?

[Blue Severin]

That atelier must be a monster creatin machine by the looks of those works. I'm graduating with my BFA in december, I assume that's too late to apply for in september?

[James Kei]

The school works very organically, We have a few students that choose to go the traditional route, and that's totally cool. Concept design is less a part of the daily work than you may think, because we strongly emphasize foundations training. What good is a strong idea for a concept if it can't be executed correctly? Especially with the industry requiring more accurate and detailed concepts due to continuously evolving HD graphics in games and in film.

-Also, we now have a private forum for the students to get direct feedback from the entire MB crew as well as a few select professional artists.

-We are also planing a few group field-trips. This fall will be a blast! :spam:

Nothing as far afield as New York, I assume?

[el coro]

only if we can crash on your living room floor Tristan!-c36

[Jedmo]

Just so you guys know, there's already been at least one person interviewed for the open spots. So if you're interested, I'd start moving your ass.

[BohemianChaos]

*sigh* ENVY!! :)

beautiful work, guys and gals

[Cnote]

whew~

[chras]

WickedSIck!!!

[Dirty C]

Heh - this stuff is like nearly a year old. I'm not sure what the plan is, but we're working on a huge project right now, so maybe we'll do something with that when it's done.

It'll be Cody posting again - round here we call him the eveready dumper.

[Micaiah Nelson]

Its alive!

[Jacob Kobryn]

I have a question:
Do most of the people at the Atelier already went to college before going there. Also have you ever had any students straight out of high school?

[Dirty C]

About 2/3 of the people here have completed art school. Nobody's come *straight* out of high school, but a few people have come within their first year of art school.

[PeggyChung]

ah shoot, that old title got my hopes up, haha. Is there any word when the next round of students will be accepted? thanks.

[plantman]

The first series by mrblonde are interesting, atmospheric :). What was the brief for these btw?

[Adam Schumpert]

The Atelier looks and sounds like such an awesome experience the work you all are producing is fantastic.

There wouldn't happen to be any spots open for new students at the moment, would there? or any plans to add more students in the near future? (crosses fingers... please...maybe...)

Thanks for the info,
Adam

[Kuidf^!]

SWeet work keep it up ! :)
