This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing widgets.
You can drag and drop to rearrange.
You can edit widgets to customize them.
The bottom has widgets you can add!
Some widgets you can only access when you get a premium membership.
Some widgets have options that are only available when you get a premium membership.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!
Nick is a 28 year old Freelance Illustrator from Rotterdam. He shares his inner-city appartment with his wife, wee babby and two cats (one has only one eye, the other is really mean...). Besides really liking the zoo and books, he's a big (hobby)game and fantasy fan. He works mainly with Photoshop and Artrage, but has a big bag of tricks that include: acryllic paint, watercolour, pen and ink, and Painter.

I wish a google search for "alternate stream of revenue for an illustrator" would turn up something good instead of wealthy Nigerian princes and pyramid schemes. I love my job, but sometimes I wish I had more time to dote on a project, you know. Polish it, cuddle it, spend a working day just pondering it while sipping a cup o tea. Yeah that would be great.
Dreams must be made into reality, is my vision on things, so lets get to it!
From the outside at least, projects like childeren's books and the novels that Brom releases seem like good ideas. Something I can finish by meself and then shop around for a publisher. I think getting a publisher behind me is the way to go, as opposed to self publishing (or kickstarter). Self publishing requires me to find my own audiance, which I certainly do not have right now and might work eventually after years more of illustartions and some big clients. But I never was a patient man.
Perhaps the fact that I live in the Netherlands might work for me for once. Holland, like the down to earth Calvinists we are, never had a big taste for fantasy related products like our neighbours had. No fantasy book publishers of note, no great Dutch fantasy authors or artists. We do however have a strong tradition in (exceedingly strange) childrens books, lots and lots of Dutch authors and Illustrators. So there definately is a good chance to get published if i come up with decent material. Also fantasy as a concept finally seems to take a hold here, nothing yet like our crazy neighbours, but its slowly getting better. A growing market with a small talent pool always offer opportunities i think.
Stuff to ponder about to be sure, but for the time being: pixels need smithing.

I'm very impressed with the Slaanesh Marine comic, very beautiful work. Ever consider making something out of that, a collection of works based on that one art?
Heya! Great gallery! I wanted to feature one of your works from the old account in a group. I would be grateful if you let me
