I am a production artist more than anything. I love the technical side of the development, but at the end of the day, the question I typically only care about is “What does my client need for their budget?” If I can not fulfill my client's needs, then I will have a hard time paying for my bills. I approach my teaching on this fact, as I want my students to understand what the professional environment requires of them when they go into the professional world. I really enjoy working in the tools of my trade, and I have worked in several different areas of digital art, offering me a wide range of skills and experiences. The one thing is being to able to create while working with a team, more than anything, has been my search and goal. There is not much more than being vaulted into a higher level creative energy with a good, supportive team to assist and push you. It's even more rewarding when the client comes back for another project. My art, as a professional, mostly reflects the needs of my clients, whatever they may be. As a personal artist, I do what I can to have fun drawing, conceptualizing, and building things which people will find amusing, entertaining, and, possibly even wowed. I take on projects pretty easily, and I try to base my scope and goals on my knowledge of the tools, or by the fact I may need to learn a new technique in the process, which is usually the more satisfying projects.
This is series of mixed media pieces based on the concept of what these tools can do.
One night a few years ago, I was playing around with 3ds Max rendering options, and began to create some interesting pieces.
Hello,
My name is Colin Blankenship, and I am currently re-building and re-branding my website to better suit my future needs. I am currently working on my MFA at SCAD, online, and have triggered a positive change in my goals, approach, and intentions.
I will be going live in a few short days, but, to be completely honest, I probably will never complete it. This website of mine has always been very organic!
Check back by September 6th to see the updates!
