Oh hey there! Hope you guys haven't forgooot about mee!
Started school two weeks ago and the days have flown by. It's really intense and fun. Lots of new insights on everything and my brain is trying to take everything in. Never been around so many creative people at once in real life, glancing over your shoulder and being inspired by someone doodling around! We're soon starting our first game project which will be a text-adventure with environments. Meaning I'll have to giit guud.
Having a cool time learning Maya and getting macro-skills with the keyboard. Can't do anything awesome yet, just following a fat book filled with tutorials and getting ready for next years 3D-o-rama.
Feel a bit bad for not posting!

Maan, thanks a bunch again for liking my stuff! I probably haven't improved much in your suggested areas since I haven't had time to focus on that. But I followed your edge control advice a few weeks back on some studies, really helped out. But as usual, havent applied it to my pieces/sketches yet. :(
Will do some more masterstudies when I get the chance! Pretty cool to observe some old dudes brushstrokes from 500 years ago. Realized that I have to find artists that rock in the areas in which I suck. In the past I've studied masters that I like, but don't bring much to my visual library or skill.
When starting to study 3D the book gave some useful advice about picking objects apart and studying that too. Goes the same way for painting too I suppose. It's so easy to know what to do, but hard to do it :P
Starting with some 3D tutorial things. I just altered them a bit for fun. The Catapult didn't have shields, nor did the toyplane have guns.
A classmate painted my lineart and I painted his lineart. By lineart I mean 3 minute silly doodling.
This is how far I got with the CD ChoW. Had my girlfriend over the deadline weekend, so spent time with her instead. Went along pretty well, tried using phototextures but didn't get as far with integrating those. I should've gone with a more simple presentation that went to the point.
Sketchbook stuuff
Random stuff, the filenames are confusing so I don't know what they are haha
And the latest things, I want to do the 30 day RPG challenge on facebook. It sounds fun and I like having fun. Joiiin it! Doing Sci-fi-ish things because I want to get better at it.
