Hello, fellow capsuleers.
My name is Blackback Starkiel (yes, yes, I know all the jokes about my name). I'm new to the Summit uplink, but I believe the best way to start is just to jump in and say hello. Now, I'm fresh out of Caldari military school, but life in the 'verse is not only about ships, hardware and career, no matter what the state says.
I'm also an amateur painter, you see. No, not only the Gallente can have artistic minds. Imagine that.
... Now, I know there are holo-artists all around, but being a traditionalist, I've actually been working with painting by hand. Nowadays, with the mainstream cyber artists outputting their mind directly onto holo-reel, I realize it might sound silly to still use a digital pen to work. But that's the way I always did it, and it's relaxing, so that's what I'm planning to continue doing.
Anyway, I don't claim to be a master in any sense of the word. Painting is my hobby -- what I do when I kick back from the long runs in the capsule. But even so, I take some pride in my art and my hand-crafted imagery. Personally I feel the old ways give it a somewhat more personal and rougher touch that direct mind-painting can really convey. Well, you decide.

(If you wonder who that "Griatch" guy is, that's just a nick I use when interacting with the Gallentean art underworld, never mind it).
I would like to hear what you think, comments and critique is much appreciated. Are there any other budding artists out there in the capuleer community? Anyone else interested in traditional media, even? Maybe we could exchange ideas! I'm looking for contacts, so send me a beep in here or on the space lanes.
... Of course, I wouldn't be a real capsuleer if I didn't at least make a token attempt at making this a business venture -- so if you happen to like my work, consider dropping a few ISK in this poor artist's hat on your way out.
Looking forward to your comments and input. . Blackback Starkiel

Very nice sample that you have provided. I am curious if you have any additional works that you would like to share.
I must admit that it is rare of your race to have such talent. I too would be interested in consulting you for some possible projects that I may have in mind.
Kindest Regards,
Casserina Overseer of the Blinded Eye Ebon Seraph Recruiting!

Thanks for the kind comments.
Mebrithiel Ju'wien, thanks for the comment. Looking forward to hearing from you in the future, especially if we frequent the same cyber-clubs.

Lady Kai Zion, I would very much like to get a link from your sister, by your description it sounds like we might have lots to talk about (non-digital work? Not even I have tried being that bold!). As for yourself, it is true that the traditional form is not for everybody. I'm nevertheless flattered to see a Khanid lady such as yourself finding even a slight bit of interest in my work.

Lady Casserina Leshrac, thanks for your interest! If you follow the link into the holoprojection gallery you will find a larger collection of my older works, depicting a rather wide range of subjects and styles.

Thankyou, I intend to.

I'm still looking for other interested people out there. Surely there must be more artistic minds hidden away in their pods? . Blackback

As for artistic quality, I'm afraid that I am nothing more than a mere muse.
However, I do know of several people that might be interested.
If you are interested please contact me via eve-mail.

Interesting... In this age of holographic art, it's refreshing to see someone still using older techniques. In most cases it takes more skill to create something noteworthy with pen and ink (or in this case, digital representations of such) than simply thinking of an object and having it appear.
I confess an appreciation for more traditional art forms. I am looking forward to seeing more of your work!

Thanks to all who took their time to put down their thoughts into the wave.
@Casserina Leshrac
A muse is what we all need now and then! I will indeed contact you, thanks for your offer to convey some of your contacts to me.

@Koshmarnaya Akula
Alas, I am not in a position time-wise to take on comissions, if this is what you had in mind. My workload under the harsh deadlines set by my current agent does not permit other than very sporadic forrays into art.

@Rakiro
To hear a Gallente have such favourable opinions of my work is heart-warming and appreciated. I'm glad to hear you have an interest in traditional art forms. Maybe you have some pieces of your own? I would be glad to see this. Thanks for your encouragement and kind words. Most appreciated.

@Mebrithiel Ju'wien
Ah, I shall then look forward to your wave, mylady!
