Snippets of ATC's

One of the deadlines that's been looming for me is for an Artist Trading Card book by Bernie Berlin. I need to produce four different cards, each with an assigned technique. I'm so used to just letting my art "happen", meaning that I don't plan ahead the techniques or images, but instead I just work intuitively, using whatever seems appropriate once the piece starts to take shape. So having to do art that specifically addresses different techniques was a little hard, because I sort of had to think backwards. But they're small pieces, so that made it a little easier. I don't think I should show the whole cards since they'll potentially be in the book, but I think it would be okay if I just showed little snippets. So here's what I've worked on the past couple days...

Hi Corey!
I am under the same deadline, and have struggled SO bad with this (the assigned technique) especially since the ones I was assigned.. were ones I NEVER EVER have used! YIKES!!!!
I am freaking out.. only a few more days to get them done..
I just HATE being told what to do! :)
p.s. good to meet you at AF vendor night!

It's good for you to work outside of your comfort zone(s)! I think these teaser snippets looks very cool and I can't wait to see the entire cards!

i just found your blog - love your work corey! I experienced the same discomfort pulling my four together for Bernie's book - i am most comfortable working intuitively, never knowing where I'll end up....
