Vol 006: What I'm Working On

Making Of / 17 May 2022

I noticed that sculpting in various softwares has been a difficult and challenging process. Especially when one has little knowledge in 2D drawings of anatomy. I have been trying with time give more finesse in drawing the anatomy of the human body for both male and female. It's so crucial to be able to draw, and then bring traditional drawing skills into 3D sculpting software like Zbrush.

I am also noticing how slow I am as an artist when it comes to drawing. It has taken me a while to work on content little by little.

Work In Progress / 05 September 2021

I'm taking the Intro to Environment Painting with Maciej Kuciara on Learn Squared and wanted to share some of the Homework I'm working on.

The class is $249 for a lifetime membership. Intro to Environment Painting



Here are some things I have been working on in the homework.

We were shown how to make our own grids in Photoshop on the computer. 

We were shown to take a photo a deconstruct it like this and then redraw it in a different view.

The image I used

The image deconstructed


The deconstructed image redrawn 

Drawing architecture has been a great addition to learn. I would like to do about 20 more of these.

Vol 003: Cosmos & Paradisical Glory

Making Of / 30 August 2021





Nobody likes being in the hospital but some of this artwork was created in the hospital a while back. The second picture in the middle was created just yesterday. I have a love of the cosmos, and drawing concepts that lead to bigger 3D projects really help me understand more about the universe we live in. 
  

Bryce's Lighthouse

Article / 15 June 2020



Many years ago, I was bearing my testimony in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) Sacrament meeting in Kirkland, Washington in East Seattle as I often try to bear by testimony as often as I can.

A testimony is a living manifesto or worldview of things we believe, are coming to understand, have a firm foundation upon, and know things are viable, virtuous, delightsome, authentic, and true in an eternal sense—and we want to share small and simple principles with other members of a ward or congregation of immediate and distant members within a location or boundaries within city limits. Wards are usually a lot smaller than stakes, and many usually 10 or less, make up a stake. Many stakes makeup areas, and so on. There are those who preside over areas, stakes, wards, and branches.

I have tried wherever I have lived to be "my most authentic self" and "be true to whom I am" as a son of God. As an adult, I keep growing and whatnot, but inside I still feel like a little child in a big world.

I have had a hard time with mental illness, and now high functioning autism, or as they now say, one on the autism spectrum or autism spectrum disorder. Many people feel I do not have autism, but I have been diagnosed by two doctors regarding as such. So I'll count it as another blessing in my life with spiritual gifts I can add to my collection and use in time of need.

On this Sacrament Meeting Sunday, I walked up to the front of the room, where a pulpit is located on the rostrum of the chapel in an LDS Church, and began offering up publicly the desires of my heart. Which is to testify about the divinity of us all as children, male and female, as children of God, and Their literal connection to us as their spirit children.

I was bearing my testimony, of gospel truths, went and sat down, and finished the meeting by hearing others who had born their testimonies. I was getting ready to leave for another class in Gospel Doctrine when I notice a small young boy (he was age 8 or so) at that time. His name was Bryce, and approached me out of the blue, and gave me this drawing he had made on paper like a "paint-by-number" drawing of a lighthouse bearing and sharing light with others.

So I told him I would make him a drawing also, and this is the rendering of the image he had drawn on the bottom, and my rendition is on the top of his drawing.

Now that I think about it, I would like to do a larger full drawing on top of his drawing in Zbrush 2018 as I just purchased it for use with 2D drawings. I think it's amazing what children can do when they hear, see and respect light knowledge traveling in and our of their ears. I am very grateful for Bryce, and this is his valiant little lighthouse!

This is the updated version from what he drew originally in his drawing.

I call it, "Time Together". 


The Authentic Energy Within

Making Of / 14 June 2020

It has been a while since I have posted on my blog of what is going on with traditional and digital media. I want to start streaming on Twitch https://www.twitch.com/coldwhitefire and start a Patreon account https://www.patreon.com/coldwhitefire where i can be myself and see the authentic energy within come out.

Much in my life I have seen a lot of anxiety and depression, dark and sadness due to struggling with life challenges. 

I have been thinking over the years about Cold White Fire as a method of energy within. Authentic energy within which is basically light from one's inner self from the inner circle can bring much joy and opportunity.

I have learned to be myself. To be happy is a choice, not a destination. There is some sadness in happiness and some happiness in sadness. I want to be myself, share my artwork, learn and grow and meet people along the way in this new journey of mine through Patreon and Twitch.

I will be sharing my authentic light within through traditional and digital media, engraving, audio and video content. Welcome to the family!

Get ready for some new and interesting ways of testing artwork. Thanks! 

Vol. 1:003 Being Forged by an Eternal Flame: Longing for the Tree of Life

Making Of / 28 August 2018

Vol. 1:003 Being Forged by an Eternal Flame: Longing for the Tree of Life

Longing for the Tree of Life

I submitted four concept designs to Facebook and most people chose number 4 versus all other concepts. I think two or three others liked version 2 which I liked more than 4. I like the cinematic approach to seeing darker images in front and a central theme, the Tree of Life, in the back rather than being at the Tree in the foreground. Here are the concept designs I posted on Facebook:

For the past two weeks, I have had the opportunity to regain my strength by being in the hospital. I don’t like being there but it was good to get on the right medication dosages, and in some ways prove to the doctors that I was well enough to go home.

To be told, as I count it a blessing, “You will be on medication the rest of your life and will never work full time. You are totally and permanently disabled” was probably a difficult thing to hear, but the best blessing I have ever received. Having heard this difficult thing, was hard to hear because I could hear all of the repercussions of how this little phrase, “never work full time” would fit into view with my being able to provide for myself, and my loved ones didn’t really make sense to me. Being the “breadwinner” means a lot to me and what I can do for my family.

Ultimately, it came of pride I was holding onto—my desire to want to be the provider—is up to God as he provides for his saints as said in the Doctrine & Covenants from Jehovah himself through the Prophet, Joseph Smith. The Lord says, 

14  I, the Lord, stretched out the heavens, and built the earth, my very handiwork; and all things therein are mine.

15  And it is my purpose to provide for my saints, for all things are mine.

16  But it must needs be done in mine own way; and behold this is the way that I, the Lord, have decreed to provide for my saints, that the poor shall be exalted, in that the rich are made low.

D&C 104:14-16

In reality, everything we have, have had, or will have in the future belongs to the Lord. All things come from Him, and He decides which job I have, which opportunities come to me and my family, which things both good for me or not good for me He allows me to pass through such as challenges, trials, blessings in disguise, or hard and even difficult things—that will be better for me in the end.

With someone with paranoia (on an off the medication), delusions (on and off the medication), hallucinations (on and off the medication), this doesn’t and isn’t something to shrug off. Its like really intense, and it works and eats away at one inside, like a cavity in a tooth decay. Those little guys are in the tooth decay, working, and doing their jobs as little bacteria do, and do so well. It's like hitting a gong with a chainsaw-jackhammer and feeling the sensations, vibrations, ambiance, amplifications on one's soul for just a moment, but that feels like it lasts emotionally and mentally as a constant, pounding, repetitious audio gif, stuck in a loop, for the rest of one’s life. 

A chainsaw brush I designed: 


While at first, I didn’t want to be there. I ranted and raved about not being there when in reality, what turned into a bad situation was exactly what I needed to regain my strength, and learn about the medication that I currently am on, that is helping me have a state of calmness and patience to help me from day-to-day living.

Being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Mormon obviously, a member of the LDS Church, has helped me mostly because I need the structure the Lord has provided for me through the structure of His Church. One may view this Church as just a “church” and that’s ok. I am willing to bet that most people who read the content on this blog, may not be members of the LDS Church, which is great.

One thing I have learned by being a member of the Church, is the Church is set up as a divinely appointed organization built up by the Lord, the people who are in the structure of the Church, are just men and women struggling to find joy within a tumultuous world heading down the toilet very very quickly—a super swirly even!

Over a large period of my life, I have wondered what Lehi’s Dream was like until I was able to pray for guidance and the Lord taught me in a vision for myself what Lehi’s Dream was customized for me—was really like. 

I’m putting together original artwork based on the Tree of Life and Longing for the Tree of Life

The Great & Spacious Building Rough: Kitbash3D Gothic in Modo 902.  
PureRef references images of my own creating. 

These reference images are my own work drawn in 2004 at the Art Institute of Seattle drawn by hand for an unknown reason; which reason is currently known. 

I have wanted to make a great and spacious building as I had seen it in my dream in 2009.

At the top of this post is a new perspective of the great and spacious building and longing for the Tree of Life; which is ultimately to be with Christ our Savior. Having a lot of challenges with mental illness has helped me see the value of darkness versus light. Light trumps darkness, even though in art there is mostly a strong contrast between light and dark values. Where without the light darkness wouldn’t show, and without the darkness, lighter values wouldn’t appear.

This reminds me of the Book of Mormon and the law of opposition.

11  For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my first-born in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither sense nor insensibility. 2 Nephi 2:11

In a metaphorical sense my Savior, Jesus Christ is my Light. He is the Tree of Life, which is the love of our Father in Heaven to send His son to help us return back to live with our Father in Heaven. In the next couple posts, I will be spending more time than I have now, longing for the Tree of Life, rather than longing for the great and spacious building. I have a serious of paintings I have been wanting to explore. 

Vol. 1:002 Portfolio / Blog : Forged by Cold White Fire : Being Forged by an Eternal Flame

Vol. 1:002 Portfolio / Blog : Being Forged by an Eternal Flame 

ArtStation Summary for Christopher Stapleton: Past Version

I thought about the most important thing I wanted people to know about me, and that is I am honest in heart with a sincere desire to serve. 

It was most difficult to hear because I had just graduated from the Art Institute of Seattle in 2010 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Media Arts & Animation (which was obtained in 2018 much later due to having enough credits) and a Bachelor of Game Art & Design. I felt the weight of student loans over my head, and anyone knows who has attended a private institution that student loans are a heavy weight to carry, especially struggling day-to-day trying to challenge myself to draw, and move forward in my life despite my challenges. 

Here is a hallway fellow students from the Art Institute of Seattle created during 2005 (when I was rambunctious and came back to school on meds, slow as wax, and my life had turned totally upside down). 


I did a lot of pro-bono work and freelance work for very little pay and established an income based off of that small assistance. I learned to budget my time and use the assistance to strive to improve. 

I have no professional experience or no production work, but I do have a sincere heart—trying to put my best foot forward and take one day at a time. I was able to develop a portfolio over the years but was paid very little, and it was challenging.  

Since then, my life has changed and I am no longer in need of large amounts of debilitating medication, and out of the dear goodness of the Universe, Source, God; I have been changed, and I want to get my name out there and try and see if I can open a door or two to help others struggling in this industry.

Those struggling with mental illness in these entertainment industries are bright, capable, hyper-creative, and inspiring individuals who for whatever reason are struggling inside and one may not even know it, or afraid to tell another. I’m not sure, every case is different. I have struggled with many types of serious mental illness. If you are one of these people, I understand how you feel in some sense. 

I have created a business called Cold White Fire LLC, of which we will be reorganizing the business and website to teach those struggling in this fast-paced world (especially seniors, people with disabilities, accident survivors, and people who are going through life changing events—such as people who get out of prison after 30 years and have no idea what an iPad or Smartphone is) struggling to use the computer, mobile device, or a cell phone, and not able to check their voicemail because it's too hard to remember which button to push, (or not to push). I love learning, and I am inquisitive and will ask a question in any crowd. 


I mention seniors because I have been a caregiver for a family member for three years now, and I did it for a month all by myself. I understand how difficult it is to take care of someone who is not able to care for themselves. Yet while having the experience with mental illness and overcoming it, I feel I can relate to many individuals who are struggling. 


I'm also learning a lot about myself as an Aspy (Asperger's), that I don't mind driving with cruise control on while going to the speed limit, and it's super important for me to do the right thing always. 


I volunteered as a computer class teacher at a clubhouse for those who face terrible situations with mental illness. We did interpersonal group and one-on-one tutoring while I was attending the Art Institute of Seattle. I am happy to say those days were very satisfying to help another understand something they had never understood before, such as how a computer works internally. One individual asked me, “Are you from Microsoft?” I responded, “No, I’m just a regular person like you.” From that response, it helped me understand that I could accomplish things in life despite my limitations—even those challenging ones. 


I don’t completely know my mission in life or how much money I will make, or how much is in my bank account, but the important thing to me is, sharing what I have with others, and helping them succeed. Because when one helps another (no matter whatever their situation) the law of attraction helps the individual helping another. I just want my basic needs met, my family is taken care of, that's all I care about. 


I will be attending Utah Valley University this Fall 2017 semester to learn more about Architectural Woodworking & Cabinetry and Engineering Design Technology. Basically, I want to expand my design skills into 3D printing on wood with C&C machines and create 3D modeling from my environment concepts and graphic design experience. Wood is my new canvas. I believe this added dimension will bring more opportunities for work and creation.

I have also joined Learn Squared and Robotpencil communities where I will be practicing my skills and asking questions. I am excited to be a part of this ArtStation community, no matter what happens. 


Feel free to contact me, and ask me anything. I work at Cold White Fire (see the links in the Contact section) and I am willing to work contract or freelance on a win-win terms of service agreement. I may not be the fastest in the industry, but I am honest and sincere. 


I just want to be successful and build confidence in myself not based on how much money I make, but the level of sharing to me helps me feel cared for. 


I’m going to show the process of my work, taking screenshots of my weekly progression, and post them individually in separate projects or albums to keep the focus on the project at hand, and in context. 


I’m glad I’m here and ready to improve. Thank you!


Very Respectfully, 




—Christopher Stapleton

Being Forged by an Eternal Flame: Vol 1: 001

Being Forged by an Eternal Flame Vol. 1:001

Sometimes when looking at a blank white text editor, traditional piece of paper, new document in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and pretty much every other medium both traditionally or digitally, the white background, empty page can be somewhat daunting because depending on what goes on the page, how it’s designed, crafted, created, scraped, sculpted, molded, modeled, pressed, written, spoken, heard, read, thought, smelled, felt, or sensed all have tied connections about how ideas, thoughts, intentions, desires, and the execution of all those things combined, polished, finalized, and presented to the world for review has been very taxing.

One wrong keystroke, one wrong brushstroke, one wrong accident could be the thing one is looking for to give a complete twist on how the desired project may appear or be portrayed. 

I have been learning to let go of all the ways I think things should be, and try to just be. Just exist. We are loved. We are enough. 

My name is Christopher Stapleton, and this is a real-life story about my life as an artist, my life as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon), my life as defined by me, created by me, and supported and forged by an eternal flame that radiates within. My life here on Earth being forged by Cold White Fire as a child of God, Source, the Universe. 

Cold White Fire is a personage of spirit that teaches, strengthens, magnifies, edifies, uplifts, comforts, chastises, rebukes, helps, calms, motivates, energizes, relaxes, redefines, blesses, protects, inspires, reveals, guides, directs, shows, radiates, instructs, warms, whispers, communicates, speaks, and has loved me for who I am. Cold White Fire is the name I have given the Holy Ghost, the Spirit, the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, the Revealer, the sensation I feel within that has pretty much been following me and helping me in my life.

I never needed to pay any money for help or direction. The care, love, respect, and gladness has always been available without money, without price and without a need for me to give anything in return, that doesn’t mean I don’t try to do what I can to return what has been given to others.

Being forged in fire doesn’t sound very appealing. Yet I’m thinking that pretty much everyone has felt the refiner’s fire in their life at some point, if not every day of their life. For me, as I can only speak for myself and from my experience, being forged, has been a process of day to day learning, trials, challenges, and struggle. I haven’t been alone in this journey, but I have had to in some small degree walk the footsteps of my Savior. All of us will have to walk our own difficult paths that lead us to an eternal path. The direction from which we choose to walk is one’s choice. I have been through hard times, and many of you have been also, which is great to meet others on this eternal journey as a being of light, living on Earth, in a mortal state, developing oneself, and being developed into a great individual that will one day walk back into the presence of one’s Eternal Parents to continue their next timeline after we venture into death to live again.

I have been learning about how steel is forged, created, processed, purchased to be used as a stock medium in precision machinery, production, manufacturing, and an endless list of things metal is used for. The process I want to focus on is the forging of metal. The act of being refined through repeated intense experiences such as a metallurgist would do to make a metal piece of artwork. In a greater scheme of this Earthly life, we are clay in the Potter’s hands, metal in the Refiner’s Fire. If you are unfamiliar with a refiner, or The Refiner, this video will jog your memory. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DIIgm6xABQ

I often wonder what the purpose of my life that has a lot of difficult challenges, could even be of benefit to another in this world, let alone what I could do to provide for my loved ones. I like in the video the woman talks about in paraphrasing, “when we increase our capacity for pain, we increase our capacity for joy.” To me that has given me a lot of peace in my life, when I struggle day to day, trying to make a difference for myself, have confidence in myself, trying to achieve a skill, talent, or learn what I can to apply it, and help another, even if that means serving others by first serving myself.

Life is very challenging. I have been in the mercy of God, Source, the Universe for helping me get through difficult challenges that have ultimately been blessings in disguise.

I attended the Art Institute of Seattle from 2003-2010. I obtained two bachelor degrees in both Media Art & Animation, and Game Art & Design, via graduating with honors. However I went through a period of my life after graduating, that felt like “Why try?”, “What do I have to give or even add to this life that will be of any benefit to raising a family, a benefit to myself, let alone benefit to society?”

My most sincere desire was just to be able to contribute something in whatever degree I could to society, to my family, to my loved ones, to myself, and to Cold White Fire. Everyone I have spoken to in my life has told me that I was special and talented but the problem was those special things about me or talented things about me don’t transfer into money to pay bills, make a paycheck, and provide for my family, and for myself.

I was able to keep a portfolio that I have tried to expand over the years, but I didn’t know the outlet to share it, advertise it, let alone was unsure if it would even help me. Over the years I’m glad I kept doing what I love, which is to draw, be creative, paint both traditionally and digitally, and I’m turning towards digital sculpture.

In the Art Institute of Seattle (AIS), I learned to be an artist, to be trained both traditionally and digitally. I have always been artistic and have been much of an observing artist, more than a performing artist. Observing meaning, being able to look at other’s work and be in awe, and wonder when that would ever come to pass for me, but everyone knows that being in school, you have to do the work, and make things happen, otherwise one’s grades fail, things don’t go right, that GPA needs to be at a constant to continue to get funding or be eligible for funding, grants, loans, etc.

I plan to have a series of blog posts here on Forged by Cold White Fire, which is my blog about my artwork, the struggle I have been through, experiences I have had with artwork, being an active member of the LDS Church, and my desire to contribute back to society. I hope you enjoy future posts and perspectives.

Thanks!
 

2003 - Present: Narrative Concept Art with Jama on L2: Idea Creation & Modern Day Masters

General / 16 March 2018

I have been taking some time to just get into the groove of drawing, and not trying to make things pretty. I feel like I have a lot of ideas that I need to express, and just get out. I like Jama Jurabev's approach to creating really interesting ideas.

It's really interesting because the approaches he identifies in this video https://www.learnsquared.com/courses/narrative-concept/1 help one understand the importance of abstract idea generation; which for me, with someone who deals with serious mental illness and autism is pretty profound because my life has lots of abstraction, so I resonated with Jama's advice.

He talks about putting the fundamentals and learning tools on pause and forgetting about them for the moment (however long that moment is, I guess is defined by the individual) and get into what I like to call a "testing phase." I feel like sometimes we get into this idea that everything has to look like a certain thing if you are a concept artist; which I agree with only partly. I will explain why.

I agree that there are specifics that companies are looking for such as spoken from this website http://onepixelbrush.com/hiring/ on what do's and don'ts should and shouldn't be, which I agree with if you want to work for those companies. Do companies hire those individuals because their stuff looks exactly like what they want their stuff to look like, or do they hire the individual based on their style?

I disagree because I feel like everyone is copying everyone else, a "me too, me too" mentality. There is no self-expression, or creating one's style if something has to look like something else, or someone else's stuff we see all the time on Gumroad videos. I got a comment from an individual from an online community in Discord after I showed him some of my work, and he said your shapes don't look like, (the example he gave was Eytan Zana https://www.artstation.com/eytan) because my shapes were not defined specifically.

I guess I don't understand why specifically defined shapes are important. From Jama's approach in the first link, he talks about how when he was learning, he didn't have people around to help him learn or give him pointers or tips like he is giving us now in the Learn Squared video lessons based on Narrative Concept Art. I haven't taken the whole class, as I only saw the Idea Generation in the Abstraction section for this course. I am in his 3D Concept Art course and Learn Squared has this new feature that allows anyone with an account to get a trial with free unlocked videos per section in the course.

I was the same like Jama, I didn't have people to teach me, only the Universe was teaching me, which didn't give me restrictions on why I should use a brush, or a shape the way I did. All I had was some of the early video DVD's from David Levy (Vyle) https://www.artstation.com/vyle, From Speedpainting to Concept Art who taught me about creating one's own brushes like an eagle or tree, or a brush he called the rooter of which I saw him draw the brush, so that was actually the first brush I created in Photoshop back in 2003, (because of David Levy), so I wanted to draw a similiar brush like his, so I drew my own, (seen below with examples of artwork I used the brush in):

Because this was the first brush I ever made, I used it a lot in the examples below: 

David Levy also talked about the eagle, so I created my own brush for the eagle by making two of them, then using Photoshop brushes to randomize the brush.
This was my first digital painting printed on canvas. I have the eagles in the background and had this painting in the Utah Valley Artists Guild in the Health and Justice building in their art show in Provo back in 2012. I felt this was a huge step forward for me because I was doing what I enjoyed, but it was really expensive to be able to print a digital painting and have it framed.

I learned from Ryan Church https://www.artstation.com/ryanchurch in Intro to Corel Painter Gnomon DVD, taught me about the chalk brush, using a 1000 px to 2000 px ratio for canvas sizes in both Corel and I applied that to Photoshop also. Here are some examples below combine with the 1 to 2 ratio as can be seen above and below:

and others like Christian Lorenz Scheurer https://www.artstation.com/christianlorenz, Advanced Digital Painting in Photoshop; Raphael Lacoste https://www.artstation.com/raphael-lacoste in Digital Environment Painting Gnomon DVD, and he taught me about adding 3D modeling to digital painting as seen below:

I learned from Dylan Cole http://www.dylancolestudio.com/ in The Techniques of Dylan Cole Introduction to Landscape Matte Painting and Intro to Cityscapes and Matte Painting Gnomon DVD, of which I haven't even finished yet along with Derek Thompson in Conceptual Storyboarding Storytelling and Struggle https://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/tutorials/conceptual-storyboarding-storytelling-and-struggle

and Jared Simeth https://www.artstation.com/jsimeth in Matte Painting for Production Gnomon Workshop DVD, taught me about using photos and photobashing within Matte Painting. I didn't like the idea of going online and just dragging anyone's photos from online so I took my own and added them into my paintings with my Canon Digital Rebel XTi DSLR I acquired from loan reimbursement money while attending the Art Institute of Seattle in Media Arts and Animation and the Game Art and Design programs. So I have been trying to combine all these things together to make these different kinds of paintings.

This is a photo I took during a sunset from Springville, Utah and applied it to the drawing above and the painting below.

This is a photo my sister took up in the mountains on a mobile phone, and I enlarged it in ArtRage.
Photo courtesy of Andrew Morrill

Photo I took off my back deck and applied it to the concept artwork below to make a new matte painting.

"You are never alone."
But I guess if you were like Jama and didn't have all of the tips and tricks and DVD's to watch, then it would be really challenging to get ideas unless the Universe, God, Source etc, which to me represent Cold White Fire would have to teach the individual trying to progress and learn the best they were able.

I feel really grateful to have a been able to follow and learn from many modern masters including the above on this post, Jama Jurabev, Anthony Jones, and many others.

I have been trying to follow Jama's advice about using abstraction with the rule of thirds; big, medium, small, and using zigzag. https://www.learnsquared.com/courses/narrative-concept/2 Design Principles: Composition within the following below:

Thanks for taking the time to read this blog post. This is work that I have been doing over a period of 2003 to present.
Sincerely,

Christopher Stapleton directed by Cold White Fire.
Peace!
