http://fydbac.wordpress.com

I will no longer be updating this blogger or it's subpages (with the exception of the tattoo journal- for now)! From now on, please follow the above link for all commission information and links to my other online galleries!

Thank you very much for taking the time to visit! I truly appreciate your time, and hope you extend that to visit the new blog provided above.

Update 016

2010-01-06T22:55:00.002-05:00

Finally another update! This time around I have uploads for...

Sequentials: 'Level' comic

Concepts: Character test

Still doing freelance (at least trying to, as this past holiday was incredibly slow), while I search for a full-time position. I'm applying for all: concept artist, 2d artist, illustration, comics, storyboard, etc.

I look forward to working with great talents and contributing all that I am while I take away all that I can in knowledge.

New Service + New endeavors!

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Not the service you were looking for? Maybe one of the following is fits your current desire:
* Standard Commission *
* Custom Hat/Shoes *
-----------------------------------------------------------------

PLEASE...

1- Review everything on this page before you send in a request (If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask)
2- Do not give heavy character or request descriptions. No more than 3 sentences for each. PLEASE don't make it more than this, otherwise, I'll ask you to revise the request. I ask this because the more details you request, the more obvious you already have a set image in mind for the character, and the more chance I get that image wrong. It's unfair to expect me to play that much of a hired hand for this offer. I really hate disappointing my clients so I rather avoid that possibility.
3- For sequence request: each one counts as an image.
4- REVIEW EVERYTHING. I can't stress how important it is you read this info page. No, I won't be mad if you get it wrong, but I really appreciate when people actually pay attention :)
5- No more than 4 reference links. This relates to the explaination in #2 above.

-------------------------

**STEPS:

1) I receive your online submission form.
2) When I'm ready to begin, I will send you a pdf invoice which shows the total price and my paypal (which is also provided here and on the page you found this link on).
3) ONLY once you look over the invoice, should you send the full payment.
4) Once I see payment is received, I will begin the piece, and the countdown will begin.
5) I finish the commission WITHIN A DAY of receiving payment and send you the hi-res of the piece!
6) On the off chance I am late, you will have the choice of having me do an extra piece!

* Please go back to top of commission page to review costs and charges*

DISCOUNT COMMISSION REQUEST

Thank you for taking the time to look over everything, and especially for considering taking me up on my 24hr offer!

I look forward to working with you!

*NOTE: If your payment is received between 8pm and 9am PST, it will be counted as being received the next business day; which means the deadline will be a day later.

New: tattoo 032

Update: I've been robbed of all my equipment and a majority of my artwork, Please, if you see anything that may resemble my work, feel free to email me.

Please read: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/for/1262351353.html

Stolen Tattoo Machines (Both Micky Sharpz brand; Visual reference attached below):
Iron Radial Dial: Serial Number: 15872 (engraved on machine): Machine type: 000
Stainless Steel Hybrid

Hello,

I was robbed early yesterday morning, and among what was taken that was mine, beside my tattoo machines (mentioned above), was the following:

-PowerBoook G4 which is damaged on the right end (right above the disk slot)
-80GB ipod (which as japanese language enabled)
-A Japanese PSP (mint green) with three games in it's black zip up case (locoroco, patapon, and final fantasy)
-PowerShot A95 Digital Camera (which contained my last tattoo (done that same early morning), and pictures of a couple friends holding my cat and it's newborn kitten.
-Helio Ocean cell phone
-Most importantly, an 9x12 Art portfolio with about 20 images. Some of which are the following:

http://fydbac-concepts.blogspot.com/2008/05/kakoil-scais-bedroom.html
http://fydbac-concepts.blogspot.com/2008/05/kakoil-enviornment.html

http://fydbac-concepts.blogspot.com/2008/05/cael-turnaround.html

And alot more that can be found on the rest of my site http://fydbac.com, as well as some that have yet to be posted on my online galleries.

-In the back of the portfolio, there is a book http://fydbac-design.blogspot.com/2008/08/bideo-cover-to-pg11-english-side.html (half english, half japanese) and fliers for my custom tattoo service with my contact info and a sample of my work (one has http://www.redbubble.com/people/fydbac/t-shirts/2979922-1-koi-clear , and another as http://www.redbubble.com/people/fydbac/art/3118404-2-poison-candy ).

I'd really appreciate any help to recovering anything mentioned. But most importantly, I'd just like my art portfolio back. NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

Thank you so very much for your time. If you have any leads, MOST IMPORTANTLY on my portfolio (and ipod, as that was used as a back-up drive for the digital artwork on my powerbook), please email me. I'll most certainly try to repay you for any help given. AS LONG AS MY PORTFOLIO IS RETURNED, I don't care about anything else.

Best,

Jainai Jeffries

My currently popular works:

Will be posting colored character sheets and profiles this coming week.

Trying to stay busy as always; trying to gain more freelance work while I apply for full-time positions. Doing discount commissions to save money for tattoo equipment for my tattooing endeavors. So many fields I want to have a hand in, but still working to always remember my focus of conceptual artist.

And now I can say, Art Direction can be added to my focus as well. To help lead a team towards something that'll steal the mind space of the viewer; making sure they'll never forget the experience. And neither will the team who came together to create it.

It's been a long time, which can be blamed COMPLETELY on Concept Art House. Well, to be fair, it wasn't completely them...had another client. But they're the main suspects! Cool people, gave me a job, so now on the top of my "Fabulous People!" list.

Still available for freelance work!

Presently, I'm working on transferring my Thesis project [flash/DVD] onto http://fydbac.com as a Flash site. Till then, Please feel free to explore a variety of my work showcased here [deviantart, mangarevolution, or just google 'fydbac'] including my thesis. There'll be daily updates as I will posting work that was on http://fydbac.com as well as my thesis and other recent works I've been looking forward to post.

As I just graduated with a MFA in Computer Art from SVA in New York, I'm looking for a full time position where I'll be able to utilize my talents and contribute myself to a unique and imaginative project of various mediums. While accepting commissions and freelance work, I'm applying for full time positions in the creative field [conceptual, illustration, comics, fashion, graphic design, etc.]. My focus is Conceptual art with a specialization in Character Design, but I also work to apply that same focus into all other creative fields. I'm very willing to relocate, whether within the US or Overseas. I've lived in Japan, Tokyo for a year and look forward returning to Japan as a part of the creative field if I should ever find the opportunity.

Provided below is a link to my resume with more of my contact information. Please feel free to contact me anytime if you have any concerns or inquiries of any kind.
