Hello everyone! For a limited time only (this week), I'm having a sale on my miniature top hats in my Etsy Shoppe!

Zeldyn's Etsy Shoppe

These would be perfect for stock use as well as a beautiful accessory to evening ensembles; I hope you all will take a look!

Thanks!

Thank you to my wonderful donators!

Hello everyone, I hope you are keeping well and having a wonderful new year! As the new year comes into being so we get to making changes, and I am not excluded! This year I have pledged to get my stock account back on it's feet! ( though some people may never know it was off of them XD ) I am going to be updating quite a bit this year, organizing my gallery and doing my best to take better photographs for you all to loose. Some of you may be aware of some of the projects I have already started:

Character References for Artists

As a concept artist, I know how hard it can be to find the perfect references for things like expressions/body parts/ect. But we often require something more than pictures to look at to draw from; many artists look for references from life to help understand the way things move and interact with one another. With this project, I am trying to create a collection of pieces for artists to use to improve their work with the human figure. Expect to see other models showing up in this collection; a first for my stock gallery! I hope they become very useful; I know I will be using them!

Drastic Reorganization of my Stock Gallery

At nearing 700 deviations, my stock gallery has grown to a point that requires organization. It is nearly impossible to browse my gallery and find a piece in specific, especially for those without subscriptions. So, I plan on taking full advantage of the new gallery organization tools here on DeviantArt to create a smoother experience for my users.

Action Stock

Something that I have always been interest in but cautious of because of my figure is Action Stock. I find it something that is of incredible use to many forms of artists out there. I have experimented with it briefly but I have decided this year it is time to take it into full swing. I have a small background in martial arts and dance, which I plan on incorporating.

More Tutorials!

I was incredibly surprised at the positive response I got to my first tutorial, so I plan on doing more this year. I may do some more make up tutorials, or some on costuming and wig care; as the 'how to shoot amazing stock' technical side has some very amazing tutorials out there already, and there is little I could add XD

So! These are just some of the things on the plate for this coming year! As always, if you would like to donate towards these projects, or fund stock supplies like backgrounds and better lighting equipment, or perhaps donate towards costumes, feel free! I always accept donations, though they are by no means necessary!

Thank you everyone, and may you have a wonderful 2009!
