Monkeys in Space: Blackout

Hey All. i decided to let this account be active again. I decided not to wait till I have no backers and just keep posting regularly. I am very appreciative for the one Patron i have now for 1$ and i will keep posting regardless. :) Hopefully with time, my campaign grows as I keep posting.

Attached is artwork I did for a job, but it was so personal to me that i feel it belonged here. It was for an album called Blackout for a band called Monkeys in Space (find them on itunes) and the song was about how the singer is so tried of the negativity of the city that sometimes he feels ashamed of himself that he wishes to cause a mass blackout in the city for it to be silent.

Since the band is called Monkeys in Space, we came up with an idea that the city in mention was a space city, and that the monkey mascot for the band is the one who got sick of it all and pulled the cord on the city, yet felt very ashamed of himself for doing so, but he hopes that in the process people notice the lights and colors of outer space as opposed to being glued to tv screens filled with politics and hate.

Hope you all enjoy this artwork. i will post different variations of this image as non-patreon supported updates shortly. :)

Monkeys in Space - Kill your Past Album COver

Hi. I am very happy with this cover as I colored it with all my emotions as I listened to their music on soundcloud :) this is the cover for their new album. It isn't on soundcloud yet and I look forward to hearing it I love how it came out. I myself am surprised the colors came out this way. I feel as if I let my subconscious drive me and do the colors for me :) I hope you all enjoy it too :) for higher resolution versions of this image as well as future images, please consider one of the higher tiers :) Thank you ^_^ Monkeys in Space soundcloud link below :) https://soundcloud.com/monkeysinspace

Hey All. I have revised my Patreon rewards and shifted them around so people can receive a high resolution version of my digital paintings in the lower tiers instead of the upper tiers.. and put the customized sketches, drawings and drawing lessons in the upper tiers. I figured it's more important for people to get a high resolution version of each image so I made it more easily attainable. :)

Sara Lynn Cramb Thanks Ahmed! I'm still figuring that whole thing out :) I've gotten myself featured on a few blogs and whatnot, but getting my work in front of the right people is still a challenge for me.

Hello all, I am have made a Digital Illustrations Patreon page :)

Hello All. :) I always wanted to make this since Jack Conte opened the website. :) I made a digital illustrations page.. and just like Jack did, I offered a collection of my previous work for free. I wish to make comics and games in the future one day but for now I need to focus on my artwork, and you would be helping my dreams come true if you can help support my work :) Thank you, Jack, for this wonderful opportunity, and thank you all for being a part of my dream :) PS: please check out some of my higher, limited, tiers. i am offering character design lessons :) :D

Jack Conte just checked out your page, ahmed! looks awesome. great video! i have no idea how you design characters like that. watching it in fast motion is incredible!

Ahmed Shaltout Thank you so much, Jack. i really admire ur work you are really creative and this website is an amazing idea. I would really love to be able to be funded do do what I love. I literally bust by neck (I currently have a neck injury due to excessive stress) every day just to get enough money to be able to afford my minimum amount of bills but I get very little time for myself :) I would love to feel the financial freedom that allows me to be more personally creative. I can't wait for the webcast )

How do I browse for others?

Hi Jack.. first of all congrats.. and loved your new video.. so creative :) I wish to start my own project btu I worry because I realize there is no way for people to search the ppl you can pledge to on the website other than the search engine.. that makes it easy for ppl to disappear all together .. shouldn't there be a browse feature that allows ppl to find individual projects by category? .. i feel that if I start a project no one will ever find it or fund it because it wont be visible to the public. Also I can't find any info about how people get paid.. is it by paypal.. are there alternative options.. what about countries where paypal is not supported.. etc. :) Thank you :)

Richard Preston It seems like the search function does that now. For instance, if you type "Video" in the search box, you get a list of people creating videos.

Jack Conte yes, ahmed, we're building a browse feature right now. it should be coming out soon, but it's taking a little while to get just right. it's definitely the next main feature we want to implement, though!

June 22, 2013 06:47:50 · Reply

The Seven Twenty (A Band) The browse feature will really add a lot - and seeing as how it's so community driven of a site, how about a forum? Be good to be able to chat en-masse as a group in a 'communal space' Whatever though, the site's cool, if nothing ever changed it'd still be awesomes

I am happy for you, Jack. I have been following your videos for a very long time and I always admired how you are kind of a perfectionist, but I was aware that ur quality takes time, which made sense why you didn't' make weekly videos.. but that's a good thing. I always used to tell everyone about your work. Only a few weeks ago i was telling friends to watch your inception/daft punk mash up (that's how I knew you) I am glad this opportunity was created to give you the creative freedom to do more.. and I am even happier that you and your friends helped supply that opportunity to other people.. raising everyone else with you I feel the opportunities that could be achieved on this website are endless :) So excited about the opportunities you will have as well as others. :)
