Lists ‘N Stuff: The Top 10 UFC WWs from 2010 to 2019
I like lists! It’s my thing these days I guess. I started doing this particular list because my attempt at creating the top 10 boxing welterweights of the 2000s was pretty much DOA given how most of the guys you’d expect (Cotto, Mayweather, Pacquaio, Mosley) all jumped around weight classes so frequently in that era that I’d either be left removing Floyd (who fought thrice at the weight) or Pacquaio (twice) or trying to justify how Carlos Quintana and Louis Collazo were actually really genuinely top 10 welterweights. I figured I could extend that to just 140 and 147 lbs but at that point I gave up. Instead let’s jump sports and go right to MMA which I’ve been chronologically bullshitting about on here since 2012. Just HOW good was the UFC’s welterweight division from 2010 to 2019? Well let’s do the hard work!
Couple of caveats here:
-This is strictly based upon 1) your fights at WW only and 2) your fights ONLY in the UFC. Guys who were fighting outside the organization don’t have those fights count against your record.
-There’s a FIVE fight minimum to be eligible. This is primarily due to not wanting to have to deal with “What about Conor/Nate/Nick?!” questions.
-Unless a fighter actually popped positive on a drug test, I did not try to dock anybody who I suspected of being on PEDs. We know the UFC was the wild wild west for most of this era so rather than be the equivalent of the guy who swears RDA is on steroids because “Well he started winning then he lost!”, I stuck to the facts.
Honorable Mentions:
Colby Covington- As much as we all may dislike Covington for what he does and says, the fact of the matter is that Colby Covington is a genuinely good welterweight. Wins over Robbie Lawler, Demian Maia and Rafael Dos Anjos are his two big punctuation marks but this is also a guy who gave Kamaru Usman hell for an extended period in their title fight and holds a bevy of solid under the radar wins over the likes of Max Griffin and Dong Hyun Kim. I could see somebody putting Covington on their top 10 and I wouldn't begrudge them at all. I just couldn't cross that bridge on my end.
Rafael Dos Anjos- RDA is probably a top 10 all time lightweight and one of the greatest fighters of the 2010s but I still think I prefer RDA's dominance as a lightweight. As a welterweight he got off to a tremendously hot start in the weight class punctuated by a win over Robbie Lawler but from then on? It's been a pretty dry run. Since the Lawler fight, RDA is 1-4 and the pattern is pretty much out there. If you pressure him early and prevent him from getting a good feel for the space and pace of the fight, he's a pretty easy touch. He's gritty and durable but he basically exists now to test if you're ready for the big step up. I'm not a big fan of the gatekeeper label for dudes like RDA so I prefer the term mini boss. He's the guy who checks to see if you're ready for the big boss.
Leon Edwards- Leon Edwards is 10-2 and coming off a career defining win over RDA and yet he's not in the top 10? Against fighters who have better records than him?! To begin with, Edwards has a looot of dead air on his resume. We're talking about guys who weren't even relevant at the time of their fight. A green Vicente Luque and Bryan Barberena were his good wins but not exactly top 10 worthy, especially given the UFC roster bloat. There's also only one guy on the top 10 list who did NOT get at least an interim title shot and that guy beat him up in a backstage fight so it's not like I could squeeze him in. I also have to admit (unfortunately) that Edwards is sort of a dull fighter who tends to get overlooked on lists like this.
Jake Shields- I don't think there's anything wrong with Jake Shields sneaking onto this list. Shields' run as a welterweight in the UFC was a 4-3 jaunt (that felt like the 100 year war) with wins over some damn good fighters but mostly in close contested score card-y fights. On paper though wins over Woodley and Maia SHOULD get you into the top 10 though so again, if he's on yours then fine. No shame in losses to Hector Lombard, GSP and Ellenberger.
Jake Ellenberger- If you remove the last five fights of his career when he was just sort of being trudged out there because “He hit hard so he can always win a fight!”, Jake Ellenberger has a spiffy record of 9-6 with wins over the likes of Jake Shields, Josh Koscheck and a not exactly cooked Diego Sanchez while his losses are to the likes of Rory Mac, Robbie Lawler, Wonderboy and the generally underrated Martin Kampmann. Not a top 10 for the decade even at that point but the rise of the elite four in Colby, Masvidal, Usman and Woodley and him continually getting fights over and over and over haven’t been kind to him. Ellenberger, Kampmann and Carlos Condit are the three guys who will always be sort of forgotten by modern fans who deserve their just due.
------------------------
1- Georges St. Pierre Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 6-0 Record in title fights- 6-0 Record against other fighters on the list- 2-0
So in hindsight, GSP's resume is not exactly all that hot. Dan Hardy, Jake Shields and Josh Koscheck all pretty much faded out of relevancy shortly after their title fights although GSP probably ended Koscheck's career. GSP's record is a mere 6-0 and he pretty much sat out the Woodley/Lawler/Hendricks era of MMA minus a cameo to claim the UFC's middleweight crown. Ignore that part of his resume and instead remember that GSP tore his ACL on TWO separate occasions and there were genuine questions about his ability to come back and fight. Not only did he come back but he came back with basically the same style that made him a legend slightly tweaked and amplified to overcome his lack of explosiveness. GSP will always be viewed differently because he didn't finish fights but again, he was pretty much cooked physically well into his early 30s due to repeated knee injuries. What's more? GSP should be #1 overall if only because he is one of the few guys in MMA who was able to continually dictate his own terms. He was able to pick who he fought because for years he fought EVERYBODY there was to fight. He was able to choose where he fought because he was the UFC's biggest draw before the rise of Conor McGregor. He beat Hendricks in a close fight, realized his health took priority and retired. He started a media war with the UFC and won that too. Then he returns, coaxes the UFC into giving him a middleweight title fight, wins that and then realizes that he doesn't have to fight anymore against what was at the time a rising crop of genuinely bad ass middleweight contenders like Robert Whittaker, Yoel Romero and the likes of Weidman, Jacare, Gastelum, Rockhold and so on so forth. GSP got in, got titles, got paid and then got out when the situation didn't seem right to him. That's #1 shit.
2- Tyron Woodley Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 9-3-1 Record in title fights- 4-1-1 Record against other fighters on the list- 4-2-1
To quote the always esteemed "Tyron Woodley is just going to continue to piss people off." Woodley's UFC reign began with him bombing out Jay Heiron on short notice and then he followed that up by smelting Jay Heiron and then sort of stumbled over his feet to the tune of a 2-2 record. After his loss to Rory MacDonald in June of 2014, Woodley went on one of the welterweight divisions more impressive tears with wins over Dong Hyun Kim, Robbie Lawler, Stephen Thompson and Darren Till to name a few. Woodley's fights were either really great (Thompson I, Till) or really awful (Thompson II, Gastelum) with very little in between space. His 4-1-1 record in title fights and 4-2-1 record against competition on this ledger paint the picture of one of MMA's best neutralizers and one of the greatest resumes of the 2010s. Woodley's 2019 pretty much hit the skids as he lost to Kamaru Usman in a blow out and then pretty much disappeared with hand and shoulder issues. Woodley's probably approaching the back 9 of his career but I would be stunned if he wasn't in the top 3 welterweights all time even when the NEXT decade ended. All hail MMA's greatest nuisance.
3- Robbie Lawler Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 9-5 Record in title fights- 3-2 Record against other fighters on the list- 4-2
I remain a sentimentalist I suppose. The latter days of the Lawler era are painful in large part because years of wars and a style that willingly sacrificed rounds 2 to 4 finally caught up with Robbie Lawler. He just sort of fell apart which isn't too surprising since from December 2013 to Jan 2016 he fought NINE times with FIVE of those fights going a full five rounds. From that period of time Lawler has win over Rory MacDonald (twice), Carlos Condit, Jake Ellenberger, Matt Brown, Johny Hendricks with FOUR fight of the nights and FOUR UFC title fights. Robbie Lawler spoiled us to believe welterweight fights were always awesome because every fight he was in WAS awesome. The latter era of Lawler is pretty sad. Woodley beat IMO the last image of a prime Robbie Lawler but after that I think it's fair to say the fire was gone. He probably deserved to lose to Donald Cerrone as well if we're being honest. The one brief flicker of light was against Ben Asken in a fight I thought he won prior to Askren pulling out a sub in a rally come from behind 1st round "win" dare I say. Lawler has had a lot of injuries, a lot of inactivity (he fought the same number of fights in 2014 alone than he has since the start of 2017) and sometimes the magic just runs out.
4- Kamaru Usman Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 11-0 Record in title fights- 2-0 Record against other fighters on the list- 2-0
Next to Wonderboy vs Rory MacDonald, Lawler vs Usman was a tremendous struggle for me. Kamaru Usman's steadier and had more of a balance to his career. Even if he had slipped up once or twice prior to this, Usman's overall dominance is stupendous. Wins over RDA and a bunch of good welterweights like Leon Edwards, Sergio Moraes and Colby Covington are good enough to get you on the list but getting into the top 5 requires you to scalp Tyron Woodley in a blowout. Usman's here because for most of the early portions of his UFC career, he was borderline brutal to watch and his competition was pretty blegh/eh/meh. Usman's rise really took off in after the Emil Meek fight and the Woodley/Covington back to back performances vaulted him up the rankings big time. The fun part with Usman is seeing how high he'll go when this list is re-done in 2030 or so. By the time we hit 2022 or so, Usman could have wins over Masvidal, Edwards (again), Covington (again) and potentially a whole new banner crop of welters.
5- Stephen Thompson Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 10-4-1 Record in title fights- 0-1-1 Record against other fighters on the list- 3-1-1
If we decided to rank these dudes in order of politeness, Thompson and Maia would be fighting for the #1 spot. Sometimes I wonder if Wonderboy is forgotten when we discuss the best UFC fighters to never win a title. On this list alone, he beat Johny Hendricks, Jorge Masvidal and Rory MacDonald. He gave two tough title fights to Tyron Woodley while holding the title of having arguably the biggest disparity in title fight quality in said title fights. He'll probably never live down getting smelted by a pudgy lightweight in Anthony Pettis and that alone could've been enough to knock him down the charts I suppose. I wonder how the WW division would've changed if Wonderboy arrives in, say, 2010 or so as opposed to 2012. He's just never had the gear to go out and take a tough fight away from the other guy which is why he lost twice to Woodley and suffered that kind of brutal decision loss to Darren Till.
6- Rory MacDonald Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 9-4 Record in title fights- 0-1 Record against other fighters on the list- 2-4
Rory entered the UFC in 2010 and was gone before 2016 was over. In six years, he has one of MMA's most impressive resumes with a whose who of fights against the elite of the elites. He fought Robbie Lawler twice, Carlos Condit, Demian Maia, Stephen Thompson, BJ Penn, Jake Ellenberger and Tyron Woodley and that's all without looking it up. He'll always be defined by the war vs Robbie Lawler that basically broke him beyond repair. Rory may not be a top 3 WW but of the ten names on this list, he's arguably among the more culturally significant to the MMA landscape. Rory is without question one of the best welterweights of his era and I also think he's one of the few dudes who did it while almost certainly without steroids. My hat is off to him.
7- Demian Maia Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 12-5 Record in title fights- 0-1 Record against other fighters on the list- 2-3
So when I originally did this list, I had Demian Maia MUCH higher up. Like above Rory higher. Maia being ranked above Rory Mac sounds like a bit of a crock given how MacDonald beat Maia BUT I'm also accounting for long term career relevance in a sense. Maia's still having competitive fights at WW (pause on that Burns fight) and beating up on dudes sometimes 15 years younger than him while Rory is 3-2-1 since leaving the UFC and 3-4-1 since 2015 ended. That said when you factor in the Woodley performances for each guy plus Rory's prime being so magnetic (and the win in the H-2-H matchup, I made a switch). When you consider how utterly one dimension Demian Maia is, it's a testament to how insane that dimension is that he's up this high. Maia has wins over list guys Carlos Condit, Jorge Masvidal and relatively dominant performances over dudes you'd recognize like Ben Askren, Lyman Good, Neil Magny, Gunnar Nelson and then undefeated Ryan LaFlare. His losses are to genuinely legitimately awesome fighters like Rory MacDonald, Kamaru Usman and Tyron Woodley.
8- Johny Hendricks Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 10-6 Record in title fights- 1-2 Record against other fighters on the list- 2-3
Hendricks is another dude who had an unceremonious ending to his career. From 2011 to 2015, he was genuinely at worst #3 in the welterweight rankings. We're talking a resume loaded with guys like Josh Koscheck, Carlos Condit, Martin Kapmann, John Fitch, Matt Brown, GSP and Robbie Lawler all on the docket. I went back and watched Hendricks vs GSP for this and still come away thinking Johny got jobbed. Hendricks' career will always be filled with question marks and what if's. We'll never know whether he was on steroids and we'll never know what would've happened if Hendricks would've kept himself in shape more consistently to avoid the ballooning up that eventually fucked his body up. We'll never know if he would've beaten GSP in a rematch or how he would've done had the rumored Nick Diaz vs Johny Hendricks fight that was in talks for 2015 (the one which led to Anderson vs Nick Diaz) would've panned out. Hendricks is a what if but the fact he is a what if while also being a top 10 welterweight for a loaded decade of great fighters is a damn testament to how big of a whirlwind he was for the beginning of the decade.
9- Jorge Masvidal Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 7-5 Record in title fights- 0-0 Record against other fighters on the list- 0-2
Jorge Masvidal makes it onto the list primarily due to his run on the back half of the 2010s. Regardless of how you feel about Darren Till, Nate Diaz and Ben Askren, those are three of the most impressive wins of 2019. He was in the running for 2019's FOTY (I believe he WAS my pick) and is having a seriously impressive second half of his career. Even his losses are all in pretty damn close fights minus Wonderboy who just casually pieced him up. The reason he's so low is that the two guys on this list that he fought, he lost to. Masvidal historically has been a guy who can feast on the lower portions of (insert division/rankings here) but when it comes to the step up, he never actually takes the next step in fights he can CLEARLY win. If he ever fights Kamaru Usman, he could move up higher on the list and if he wins then we need to talk about Masvidal as having a Bisping-esque career resume.
10- Carlos Condit Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 6-8 Record in title fights- 1-2 Record against other fighters on the list- 1-5
If Carlos Condit had simply retired like he planned to after the Maia loss, he would've retired 6-5 with wins over the likes of Rory MacDonald, Nick Diaz and Martin Kampmann from 2010 to 2019. Instead his resume was littered with rough losses in three straight fights against substandard competition. Carlos Condit's run from 2011 to 2013 is stuff of legend but the tide clearly turned after tearing his ACL vs Tyron Woodley. He had one big turning back the clock performance vs Robbie Lawler in a fight I still to this day feel like he won. Condit's body and lack of significant pop in his hands just put the ceiling on his career. Condit's back 9 of the 2010s are ugly but on the front leg, he was the first dude to beat DHK, the first to beat Rory MacDonald, beat Nick Diaz, gave GSP his toughest fight in years and IMO beat Johny Hendricks. Also come on now dudes. If you think Condit wasn't on this list somehow then you don't know me.

Main U18 Showcase nonetheless a Go! Sadly video games with the @MonctonFlyers shall be faraway from the schedule. Keep protected Flyers! Saturday 3pm @moose_aaa vs @KensingtonWild 6pm @U18AAACAPS vs @sjvitoshockey
— NB PEI Main U18 Hockey League (@NBPEIMU18HL) November 20, 2020

“I imagine there’s a little bit of stress, however I feel I’m fairly good with coping with that. I’ll type of push it to the facet and simply go on the market and play hockey,” mentioned Coughlin, a five-foot-nine, 165-pound left-shot defenceman.
“I do not assume I modify my recreation in any respect. … I’m simply going to maintain doing what I’m doing and preserve my recreation fairly easy.”

The Business of Art w/ Jeremy Cranford (Blizzard Entertainment) @ The Art Institute of California Inland Empire (7/29/17)
Special thanks to Jeremy Cranford and Thomas Brilliante for making this event possible. For more updates on future events like this in the southern California area, please consider following Inland Arts on FaceBook. (Text-only version of this document available on FaceBook)
James Cranford’s life
Humble beginnings: migrant parents, food stamps, etc.
Attending college was difficult because of finances, but he ended up studying graphic design because he got a scholarship
After doing graphic design for years, he got an art directing job with "Magic the Gathering” and working in games/illustration since 1996
Worked on “Metal World” style guide for “Mirrodin” set (2002)
What would environments look like on a metal planet? Rust, things hovering with magnetism, rolling silver plane, big metal spikes, mercury seas, retina green forests
Environments help you solve what the humanoids/creatures will look like in the environment
The humanoids/creatures? Enamel/scabs is replaced with metal, big metal bracers on humanoids
Also worked on "Spirit World” style guide for "Kamigawa” set (2003)
Started with the desire to help MtG sell better in Japan, which was a challenge because traditionally MtG is based on Arthurian lore/visuals
Unsure about just having American/Western artists riff on Japanese imagery, so he hired some Japanese artists to create more authentic content, which resulted in a very different feel
Example of a brief he didn’t like that he turned around into an engaging project
Also worked on “Ravnica” style guide
Brief: “overdeveloped urban fantasy setting”
Mountains = smelting buildings
Lead was very against having buildings on land cards, but this is an example of Jeremy challenging convention… why could land cards have buildings!?
Risked his job on this point because he really believed in it, and it ended up being a great decision
The creative solution may be an uphill battle, but it will always win out
Plains = created by the tops of buildings, inspired from looking out at the city from the World Trade Center
Swamps = city sewers, obviously
Forest = where they grew their food
First set when they started mixing colors (which are like “cultures” in MtG lore), which was an awesome opportunity to expand and develop new ideas
Blue/green = technology elves
Black/green = voodoo elves (inspired by New Orleans)
Black/red = fire demons, obviously
White/black = basically Catholicism
Red/white = military
Blue/red = mage + technology
First set to have a promo video (inspired by game cinematic trailers, intended to introduce the world)
youtube
Began working on World of Warcraft at Blizzard when they released a trading card game
Style was a bit of a learning curve (less realistic, more stylized)
Soon after, started working on miniatures game, which taught him a lot about manufacturing and allowed him to travel to China, etc.
youtube
He took a risk and left Blizzard to start a start-up with his friends called Solforge
It was fun for about 6 months, but he never regretted the experience because he learned a lot
Goal was to push things more sic-fi (nuclear winter world)
His philosophy over the years has been to take risks, embrace junctures in life, and have faith in the direction you’re going
Every time he took a risk, the pay off ended up being worth it
The universe has a way of showing you the path that’s most right for you
He says most of what he’s tried never works out, and he just ends up doing the next best thing - which turns out to be his career
Doesn’t always know what he wants to do, but definitely knows what he doesn’t want to do
Always wants to challenge convention
“Don’t try to make the art you do what you think it should do, rather let the art take you where it wants to go.” - Ben Thompson
“Leap, and build your wings while you’re falling.” - Ray Bradbury Finds inspiration from Borge Ousland (first human to go from Russia to Alaska)
Saw people’s discouragement as feedback/critique
Constant failures for 10 years, but learned a little every step of the way that led to his eventual success
Stick with it
Also finds inspiration from Richard MacDonald (inspirational sculptor, experienced a lot of misfortune, embodies the blind faith Jeremy talks about)
Advice for mastering your craft, building a portfolio, and being a professional
Being an art director is like being a coach - if the product isn’t performing well, the company looks to replace the art director
It may take you longer to master your craft than 4 years in college (DaVinci took 7 years)… be patient with yourself!
When he looks for an artist, he looks for a professional
Master your skills
Master drawing, anatomy, and rendering light onto form
Go to life drawing regularly… even if you’re not in school
He oftentimes looks at the hands
Master design, not just drawing realistically
Creaturebox is a great example
Large, medium, small shapes
High density detail (busy) vs. low density detail (rest)
Master painting and color theory
Nathan Fowkes is a great example
The best color is not always the most “realistic” colour
Master composition, eye flow, value groups, and negative shapes
Wayne Reynolds and Frazetta are great examples
If you’re struggling, check out Edgar Payne’s book on composition
Have a plan before you paint and add all your detail
Jomaro adds “working in threes” is a good idea - working in twos becomes “equal” and too “balanced”
Master story, emphasis, mood, and point of view
Ian McQue's work in the “John Carpenter” art book is a great example
Just because your rendering is perfect doesn’t mean people will care about what you’re drawing
What are you trying to communicate? Write that down and make sure you execute it!
Creating without a clear objective is a waste of time
Don’t cheat yourself - if you’re trying to hide your flaws… fix them!
Don’t use effects/tricks to hide your shortcomings
After you master your skills, target a market and advertise yourself (ArtStation, DeviantArt contests, etc.)
Send out cold-emails
See if you can get current employees to refer you to art directors
If you get rejected, evaluate your work and actually assign yourself tasks to improve on it
Pro life tips!!
Don’t be a drunk (why party when you can improve your skill?)
Dedicate yourself to your career/something higher/something you love
Have some range (in your portfolio) - never say “that’s not my style!”
Consider: reality vs. fantasy (in content), realism vs, abstraction (in style)
“I’m on it!” Never be an emotional tax on your team/leads - art directors will always go back to the artists that make things easy
This doesn’t mean be a pushover
"Show me the Money!” Think about how much you’re being paid and how many hours you’re putting in… are you even getting paid minimum wage?
If you’re being paid less than you’re worth/less than minimum wage, it’s not worth it… and you’re hurting the whole industry!
You’re better off investing in yourself - work at Starbucks and build a strong portfolio at night/on the weekends
As your skills go up, the money goes up (you need to go from good to great if you’re going to make it)
Do you know why you do what you do?
If it’s for the money… maybe you should just go into banking, because this isn’t really a path to make money
Jeremy does it because he simply enjoys it, which takes the pressure off
"You’re okay, I’m okay”
Growing up, Jeremy had a lot of depression because he was seeking external approval
If you get your approval from within, you aren’t giving the power to others to put you down
You’re the final authority on how you fell about yourself, how you treat others, and what you love and want to do
There’s beauty in diversity - just be good to each other and celebrate your differences
Question time!
Where should I go to school?
Depends on what you want and how your learn best - really successful people have not gone anywhere and really unsuccessful people have gone to great schools
Maybe consider non-traditional schooling like GumRoad and New Masters Academy
At the end of the day, you need the skills, and however you get them doesn’t really matter
How do you manage your time to develop range and show that range in a portfolio?
When you email an AD/recruiter, consider attaching 3 images that highlight what that contact is looking for in the email… and then lead them to the rest of your work if they’re interested
That’s all you need for “portfolio geared to a company” - you don’t need a full portfolio geared to a portfolio if you have 3-5 images you can attach to an email
Keep your portfolio updated! Don’t leave up bad work from a long time ago!
Even when you’re not asked to, following up on feedback from ADs/recruiters with new work is a great way to stay in contact and establish your worth
If you gear your portfolio towards one company and you can’t get into that company, you might have trouble getting into other companies
However, if you have a very rangey portfolio, sometimes all you need is an art test to prove you can execute the style
Know your stylistic limitations, too - if you know you can’t do something, don’t waste your time and the AD/recruiter’s
Having trouble focusing? Set an explicit goal for yourself/make an assignment for yourself… and set a deadline for it (or else you’ll never finish it)!
How do you connect with an AD without being annoying but also not getting ignored?
ADs are busy people, at the end of the day
Consider joining a forum/contest… sometimes your peers are better critics for you than an AD
Develop a circle of trust (people you trust to give you good feedback)
When you do meet an AD, remember “everyone is people…” don’t be weird about it!
Don’t be embarrassed/ashamed of negative feedback… own it and be fearless!
Remember: it’s normal to ask ADs/recruiters to look at your work… just ask for permission, give them an opportunity to say “no,” and if they do say “no,” offer to follow-up or leave your email/card
Also remember to maintain relationships with professionals, because they might be keeping an eye on you and hire you in the future… address their feedback, explain how you improved, etc.
How do you form a good narrative in a painting?
“Create a picture that has a gap for the viewer to fill in”/“Don’t answer/render everything” (Jomaro adds - “like a trailer!”) - Frazetta is a great example of this
Engage the viewers curiosity and get them to want to know what’s happening
Maybe look at storyboard artists/sequential artists
Also maybe identify a feeling/single word/etc. that embodies your piece… and strive to communicate it fully!
You can execute a complex idea in a very simple way
Do ADs judge you on your backlog/old work?
Always be producing work, or else you’re stagnant!
Always update your work with your newest stuff
ADs love seeing jumps in quality!
ADs aren’t gonna judge you for old work they find in a deep-dive, but be sure to put your best foot forward and have that easiest to find
What can you do to stay in touch while you’re waiting for a response on an art test?
Once you submit the test, it’s out of your hands
If it’s been a week, try following up with HR asking if there’s anything else you can do
If you get radio silence, it’s not the end of the world - be positive about your experience and open to future opportunities
Do you need to master digital/PhotoShop/ZBrush/etc. just like you master anatomy/colour/etc.?
If you’re skills and design are good, they’ll show through in any medium, but at the same time, not knowing PhotoShop at all can get you dinged when working in-house
What was your favourite project to work on and what did you learn from it?
“Ravnica,” because he struggled with self-doubt and had to put his job on the line for something he believes in
HearthStone has also been a blast
Is there anything outside of art that helps you as an artist?
Everything he’s told you not to do, he did himself, which is why he’s trying to help you avoid it
Letting go of the idea that his self-worth was determined by how other people saw him… compete only against yourself
It helped to stop taking himself so seriously and just have fun… eliminated the pressure and lets the creativity flow
Stop trying to get everyone to like you and your work!
Don’t just be a theory expert… put things into practice!
The biggest thing people are lacking is the mileage
Don’t get deflated by feedback… actually integrate it!
Don’t get discouraged by people who are better than you that have been doing it for longer… that’s normal!

Veja a evolução dos foguetes da SpaceX em fotos
A SpaceX começou em 2002, quando seu fundador, Elon Musk, deu os primeiros passos em sua grande ambição de enviar uma missão a Marte. Mais de 15 anos depois, a empresa está muito além do estágio de inicialização do espaço. A empresa de Hawthorne, na Califórnia, reutiliza foguetes regularmente, envia missões de carga para a Estação Espacial Internacional com a espaçonave Dragon desaparafusada e voará astronautas para a NASA no futuro. Em 2018, a SpaceX lançou o enorme Falcon Heavy e tem planos para um foguete ainda maior chegar a Marte: o Big Falcon Rocket (BFR). Leia mais sobre a história de desenvolvimento de foguetes e naves espaciais da SpaceX na seguinte apresentação de slides. Falcon 1
SpaceX O Falcon 1 foi o primeiro foguete fabricado pela SpaceX. Ele tinha uma capacidade proposta para transportar 670 kg (1.480 libras) para baixa órbita terrestre e voou entre 2006 e 2009. Após três falhas no lançamento, o Falcon 1 enviou uma carga útil fictícia para o espaço em 29 de setembro de 2008. Seu quinto e O lançamento final, em 14 de julho de 2009, colocou em órbita o RazakSAT, um satélite de observação da Terra da Malásia. Foguetes Falcon 1 lançados da Ilha Omelek, parte do Atol de Kwajalein, no Oceano Pacífico. E caso você esteja se perguntando, Musk nomeou os foguetes Falcon em homenagem ao navio Millennium Falcon de "Guerra nas Estrelas". Desenvolvendo o Falcon 9
SpaceX A SpaceX rapidamente recebeu o interesse de várias empresas que procuravam um foguete de levantamento mais pesado. A empresa considerou o desenvolvimento de um foguete intermediário chamado Falcon 5 , mas pulou para a frente e começou a trabalhar no Falcon 9. Esse foguete pode enviar uma carga útil à órbita terrestre baixa, pesando até 28.991 libras. (13.150 kg). É um foguete de dois estágios. A SpaceX divulgou seus primeiros planos para o Falcon 9 em 2005 e enviou a estréia do Falcon 9 em 7 de junho de 2010, a partir da Estação da Força Aérea de Cape Canaveral, na Flórida. Os primeiros clientes do foguete incluíam a Bigelow Aerospace; Comunicações da Avanti; e MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates. Desembarques em terra
SpaceX O primeiro pouso bem-sucedido de Falcon 9 da SpaceX na Zona de pouso 1, em 21 de dezembro de 2015 , foi aclamado como um marco para a reutilização de foguetes. No entanto, a empresa ainda tentou melhorar essa conquista. A SpaceX experimentou uma mistura de desembarques oceânicos bem-sucedidos e com falha em 2014 e 2015 . Em 2015, a SpaceX também estava tentando pousar em navios-zangão no oceano. Embora esses desembarques continuassem terminando com fracasso, Musk publicaria os vídeos e fotos em seu feed do Twitter, reconhecendo os erros cometidos, e a empresa trabalharia para melhorar o próximo vôo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EueuPDc2OEU Sonhos de dragão
SpaceX A SpaceX manteve os primeiros 18 meses de desenvolvimento do navio cargueiro Dragon em segredo. Então, em março de 2006, a empresa tornou oficialmente a Dragon pública quando apresentou uma proposta para o programa de demonstração de Serviços de Transporte Orbital Comercial da NASA (COTS). O objetivo final era desenvolver uma espaçonave particular para transportar carga para a Estação Espacial Internacional. Depois que o Spacex atingiu vários marcos, a NASA selecionou o Dragon da SpaceX em dezembro de 2008ser uma das empresas que fornece serviços comerciais de reabastecimento para a estação espacial. O valor do contrato da SpaceX naquela época era de no mínimo US $ 1,6 bilhão, com opções para estender para US $ 3,1 bilhões; desde então, a empresa recebeu um novo contrato para serviços de lançamento de carga. Musk confirmou que nomeou Dragon em homenagem a "Puff the Magic Dragon". Voos da Early Dragon
SpaceX Dragon realizou um vôo inaugural de sucesso em 8 de dezembro de 2010, a partir da Estação da Força Aérea de Cabo Canaveral. Então, em 22 de maio de 2012, a Dragon lançou um teste importante: uma tentativa de atracar a espaçonave com a Estação Espacial Internacional. Dragon chegou à estação com segurança em 25 de maio daquele ano, apesar de enfrentar alguns problemas com um sistema de laser que deveria julgar a distância da nave ao complexo orbital. O marco levou a aclamação mundial. Foi a primeira vez que uma espaçonave particular atracou na estação espacial. Desde então, a SpaceX atualizou seus navios de carga desaparafusados Dragon para serem reutilizáveis por pelo menos dois vôos. gafanhoto
Chris Thompson / SpaceX O Grasshopper foi um protótipo de foguete pilotado em McGregor, Texas, da SpaceX, provando motivos para dar à empresa mais experiência em impulsionadores de pouso verticalmente. Embora o Grasshopper não tenha recebido tanta atenção da mídia quanto os outros programas da SpaceX, foi fundamental para promover o desenvolvimento do primeiro estágio reutilizável do Falcon 9. O foguete Grasshopper fez oito vôos de teste entre 2012 e 2013, com o voo final vendo o Grasshopper subir para 2.444 pés (744 metros). O programa Grasshopper foi então retirado para que a SpaceX pudesse concentrar mais recursos no desenvolvimento do Falcon 9. Veículo de Desenvolvimento Reutilizável Falcon 9
SpaceX A SpaceX anunciou o Veículo de Desenvolvimento Reutilizável Falcon 9 em 2012, que foi baseado no primeiro estágio do Falcon 9. A empresa fez cinco vôos desse sistema no site da SpaceX McGregor entre abril e agosto de 2014, com a altitude máxima em alguns vôos excedendo 1.000 m (3.280 pés). O último booster, lançado em 22 de agosto de 2014, explodiu devido a um sensor bloqueado. A primeira plataforma de pouso de foguetes da SpaceX
SpaceX Esta imagem mostra a Zona de Aterragem 1, uma zona de aterrissagem no solo para o primeiro estágio do Falcon 9 na Estação da Força Aérea de Cabo Canaveral. Foi aqui que a SpaceX fez o primeiro de seus pousos terrestres controlados , em 21 de dezembro de 2015. A empresa construiu o bloco em terrenos arrendados pela Força Aérea dos EUA na Estação da Força Aérea de Cabo Canaveral. (A Zona de pouso 1 está em uma terra que costumava hospedar o Complexo de Lançamento 13.) Esse pouso foi extraordinário porque o voo anterior do Falcon 9, em junho de 2015, terminou catastroficamente com uma explosão. Reutilizando foguetes
SpaceX Desde o início da história do Falcon 9, a SpaceX estava interessada em reutilizar o primeiro estágio do foguete para economizar nos custos de lançamento . Os testes iniciais do pouso não tiveram êxito, no entanto. A SpaceX fez tentativas no primeiro, segundo e sexto lançamento do Falcon 9 para controlar o pouso do booster, mas em cada caso, o palco bateu no oceano. A SpaceX finalmente alcançou um pouso controlado no oceano no nono lançamento do Falcon 9 (a quarta tentativa de pouso controlado), em 18 de abril de 2014. Este foi um importante trampolim no caminho para uma eventual reutilização. Aterragem de navio drone
SpaceX A persistência exibida por Musk e seus funcionários finalmente valeu a pena em 8 de abril de 2016, quando um primeiro estágio do Falcon 9 aterrissou suavemente em um navio drone chamado "Claro que eu ainda te amo" no Oceano Atlântico. A sonda Dragon que este Falcon 9 carregava no alto também teve um vôo importante, entregando um módulo inflável - o Módulo de Atividade Expansível Bigelow - para a Estação Espacial Internacional. A taxa de sucesso da SpaceX com pousos com drones melhorou drasticamente após o voo de abril de 2016, apesar de alguns boosters ainda errarem o alvo de vez em quando. A taxa de sucesso de vôo do Falcon 9 da empresa também é forte; seu último fracasso, em setembro de 2016, viu um foguete explodir na plataforma de lançamento antes de decolar. A SpaceX tem um segundo navio drone, "Just Read the Instructions", que é usado para pousos no Oceano Pacífico após o lançamento da Estação da Força Aérea de Vandenberg, na Califórnia. Ambos os navios são nomeados para naves espaciais nos livros de ficção científica de Iain M. Banks. Vôo inaugural do Falcon Heavy
SpaceX O foguete Falcon Heavy , uma versão pesada da série Falcon, teve um voo de estreia bem-sucedido em 6 de fevereiro de 2018 , sendo lançado a partir do Pad 39A da NASA no Centro Espacial Kennedy, na Flórida. O foguete lançou com sucesso um carro Tesla no espaço . (Musk também é o CEO da Tesla Motors.) O Falcon Heavy tem 70 metros de altura e pode elevar quase 141.000 libras. (64 toneladas) de carga útil para órbita baixa da Terra. Isso é o dobro do que seu concorrente mais próximo, o Delta IV Heavy da United Launch Alliance, pode içar em órbita. Balé de pouso de foguete do Falcon Heavy
SpaceX Esta imagem mostra os reforços laterais duplos do Falcon Heavy aterrissando com sucesso após o voo inaugural do foguete, em 6 de fevereiro de 2018. Enquanto os estágios de aterrissagem aterrissavam com segurança nas Zonas de desembarque 1 e 2 na Estação Aérea de Cabo Canaveral, perto do Centro Espacial Kennedy, o o palco principal do foguete atingiu o oceano em alta velocidade. O palco do foguete carregando o carro de Tesla sofreu uma última queimadura para enviar o carro para a órbita de Marte. No entanto, como informou o site irmão da Space.com Live Science, a radiação pode destruir o carro dentro de um ano . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fs3gkhDEYLQ Cavalgando dentro do dragão
SpaceX Ao lançar missões comerciais, a SpaceX também começou a desenvolver uma versão humana da sonda Dragon para trazer astronautas para a Estação Espacial Internacional. A empresa recebeu um contrato em 2014 no valor máximo de US $ 2,6 bilhões para esses serviços de lançamento. Em setembro de 2015, a SpaceX mostrou ao mundo o interior dos alojamentos da tripulação . O design minimalista tem paredes brancas, assentos pretos para baldes, vários monitores de tela plana e quatro janelas para os passageiros verem do lado de fora. Tripulação Dragão vs. Carga
SpaceX A SpaceX pretendia que as versões de tripulação e carga de Dragon fossem muito semelhantes, a fim de acelerar o desenvolvimento do navio tripulado. "Essa semelhança simplifica o processo de classificação humana, permitindo que os sistemas críticos para a segurança da tripulação e da estação espacial sejam totalmente testados em vôos de carga não tripulados", afirmou a SpaceX . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fprZGEEwL_w Testes de vôo do Crew Dragon
Ben Cooper / SpaceX A SpaceX está trabalhando duro no desenvolvimento do Dragon com tripulação para dois voos de teste da tripulação comercial, que voarão antes do final de 2018 . A NASA está tentando se livrar da dependência do veículo russo Soyuz, que atualmente transporta todos os astronautas para a Estação Espacial Internacional. Cada assento de astronauta na Soyuz custa à NASA milhões de dólares. Além disso, a agência tenta usar os serviços de lançamento nos EUA para lançamento, quando possível. O último lançamento tripulado do solo americano ocorreu em 2011, durante o último vôo do programa de ônibus espaciais. Mais voos da Falcon Heavy
SpaceX Os lançamentos do Falcon Heavy são vendidos por cerca de US $ 90 milhões cada, em comparação com os US $ 62 milhões dos lançamentos do Falcon 9. A SpaceX planeja lançar mais duas missões Falcon Heavy em 2018 : uma transportando o satélite de comunicações Arabsat 6A e o outro programa de testes espaciais 2 para a Força Aérea dos EUA (juntamente com o LightSail 2 da Sociedade Planetária). Bloco 5 do Falcon 9
Elon Musk / Instagram Em maio de 2018, a SpaceX lançou a quinta e última versão do foguete Falcon 9 da empresa: o booster Block 5. Projetado para a máxima reutilização (o alvo é pelo menos 10 vôos), este booster lançará astronautas no espaço nas cápsulas Dragon para a NASA. O primeiro foguete Falcon 9 Block 5 foi construído para lançar o Bangabandhu-1 , o primeiro satélite de comunicações do país de Bangladesh. Nave Estelar e Super Pesado
SpaceX Starship e Super Heavy compõem um sistema futurista destinado à exploração de Marte. Nas configurações do Planeta Vermelho, o BFR terá 106 pés (348 pés) de altura (incluindo a nave espacial) e será capaz de levar 150 toneladas (136 toneladas) à baixa órbita terrestre. Cada foguete transportará cerca de 100 pessoas e o foguete será totalmente reutilizável. Musk disse que planeja usar esse foguete em frotas, levando centenas ou milhares de passageiros por vez a Marte. Na década de 2020, Musk planeja interromper todas as linhas de Falcon, exceto a BFR, que executaria todos os tipos de missões. Os destinos iriam de Marte à Estação Espacial Internacional e a órbitas que lançariam satélites perto da Terra. Fonte | Fonte | Fonte | Fonte Read the full article

“A Brief Return Back To FS1 On ESPN+” UFC Nashville Fight Preview
(So head up off the jump, I'm traveling to a convention deal gimmick on Friday and rolling back in on Saturday afternoon-ish so chances are I might miss this card even with the app. Either way I'm sure dudes around here will be able to provide the same consistent top flight analysis they always do without me agitating them)
Joey
March 22nd
I feel like we've officially reached our throwback portion of the program. The first few UFC on ESPN+ events have been either really good (Brazil, the most recent one from the UK) or quick and violent enough (Wichita and Prague) to where everything still feels fresh and fun. I don't know if I'd call it a Honeymoon period or just a better understanding of how to broadcast MMA but either way, there hasn't really been a BAD UFC card. This one might be the first throwback to the days of yore. I'm talking about something that feels worse than bad; an inconsequential card where nothing matters and nobody goes anywhere. The show is headlined by a meaningless striker vs striker fight that some folks on the interwebs drummed up as a pseudo dream fight with Showtime Pettis vs Stephen Thompson getting top billing. The co-main event is a genuinely intriguing battle between HWs with Curtis Blaydes taking on Justin Willis and while a great third bout with Nasrat Haqparast vs John Makdessi was scheduled, it got scrapped due to injuries. Now Makdessi vs Peru's Jesus Pinedo is your third fight with Deveison Figueredo vs Jussier Formiga as the fourth support. The rest is a bunch of a blegh but we'll find some good stuff.

Twelve Precarious Ponderings
1- Who thought this main event was a good idea and why? This has good idea on paper but bad idea in reality draped all over it which makes it hard to stomach as a big fight. It sort of feels like that Urijah Faber vs Frankie Edgar fight except we knew that Faber was successful at 145 lbs so even if it was farcical, we had something to hang our hats on for some intrigue. Wonderboy vs Anthony Pettis doesn't even have THAT going for it since Pettis has never been a successful competitor at 170 lbs IF he's even taken a fight at 170 lbs. If this was some test run 165 lb catchweight bout I'd be intrigued by it but this just feels like a dumb idea on paper that's going to be borderline egregious upon execution.
2- The genesis of this fight is apparently based upon Duke Roufus claiming to have some kind of a strategy to help Anthony beat Wonderboy. What pray tell is that strategy.
3- I wonder if Thompson would've taken this fight if he could've predicted that Till would lose to Masvidal and Usman would beat Woodley. The path to a title shot is so much easier to sneak in now with both out of the picture but Thompson is fighting a monumentally inconsequential fight at the top of the bill of this show. Now granted according to Wonderboy this was SUPPOSED to be Ponzinibbio but Ponz didn't take the fight. Either way, this fight does little to advance his title shot agenda.
4- Does the UFC have a rooting favorite in Blaydes vs Willis? Is this the one genuinely good HW fight nobody cares about?
5- If there was a genuine reason to tune into this show besides "It's UFC!" and "Wonderboy vs Showtime might be weirdly cool!", it's a quartet of superb prospects all on this card worthy of your time. We can begin with Deiveson Figueiredo who has emerged as probably the top up and coming 125er in a dying division. It was rumored that the UFC offered a move up to 135 lbs for Figueiredo who opted instead to keep on kickin' at what remains at flyweight. Joe Benavidez is believed to be the #1 contender (if such a claim can even exist) but the FRESHEST fight for Henry Cejudo is Figueiredo. After that you have Luis "The Violent Bob Ross" Pena who is making the move down to featherweight for some reason after coming short vs Mike Trizano in his last fight. Pena is a really talented fighter who lacks the sort of middle ground in his fight game to deal with strong fighters who can go point A to point B in a gameplan and so the UFC recognized this and gave him a much smaller brawler type in Steven Peterson. That's a fine example of knowing a prospect. Maycee Barber is really young, ultra talented and one of the few bonafide fight finishers at flyweight so expect her to move quick. Lastly, the division may be going away but Jordan Espinosa is a really intriguing fluky record kind of guy (12-5) who has some Jon Dodson in his game. He kicks off the show vs similarly marked prospect Eric Shelton.
6- Is Angela Hill still a thing or has she settled in as a "fun" middle of the pack 115 lber now?
7- Bobby Moffett vs Bryce Mitchell is a weird fight to get a grasp on since both guys have somewhat controversial wins and neither are standout athletes. I can see this being a very fun squirrely fight. It's also worth remembering Bryce Mitchell tore a hole in his ballbag with a power tool and is somehow still competing so god speed to my dude.
8- Is Jussier Formiga the most credentialed "little" fighter (let's say 145 and below) to never get a title shot?
9- CHITO VERA! Marlon Vera returns after smelting Guido Cannetti in his backyard of Argentina to take on Frankie Saenz here in Tennessee. Really like this fight for both guys as Chito has gotten back into a groove after losses to John Lineker (in a fight he did far better than expected) and Douglas Andrade with wins over other dudes at the back end of 135 lbs. Marlon falls into that comfortable resting area between "just a solid action fighter" and "sneaky good" guy and a win over Frankie Saenz could go a long way towards creeping further and further up the latter category.
10- Peru's Jesus Pinedo gets a really tough late notice call up in John Makdessi but there are some avenues he can win this fight. Like most fighters from places like Mexico, Peru, Argentina and so on, they fight with a reckless abandon that comes from raw athletic traits with a lack of high level fight experience. We've seen Makdessi struggle against guys who fight similarly to that and while Makdessi is in the midst of a career renaissance of sorts, he's still a guy who at times needs space and pace to really get going. If it turns ugly and Pinedo can avoid being flattened, he might have a shot.
11- Will anyone from the Chris Guiterrez and Ryan MacDonald fight be in the UFC a year from now?
12- Alexis Davis vs Jennifer Maia has potential to be an all time clunker.
