I'm Batman

You may be wondering why I sometimes just disappear all of a sudden. Well it's because I have a past life that calls me from time to time. Yup, I am Batman, err, I mean I am Ironman.. no wait. Okay, the truth is I used to work with music and even though I've pretty much hung the towel on that career choice, I still get some work once in a while. Like now, for example. I have an artist who is gaining some momentum in India and the UK, so she's asked me to work on some music with her so she can have some new material to show off to labels. Of course, I accepted and have put my 3D study's on pause until I'm done. Which shouldn't be very long. But I figure this is kinda like a break and I get some spending money, lol. Anyways, I haven't given up or anything, just real life stuff to take care of :)

Texturing Tutorial

Been going over a textureing tutorial, learning some photoshop workflows and stuff. Here's a pic of the early stage. I did not model the prop, that credit goes to eat3d.com who made the tutorial

Pillar: I Think I'm Done

I think I've hit the limit on this pillar. Need to move on.

Year 1, A Retrospective

One year ago in the month of September, I started this path to become a game artist. Today is the 1 year anniversary and I didn't reach my goal of getting a job in the industry. Actually I'm not even ready to apply. I admit my goal was quite ambitious but I'm the type of person that shoots for the stars and land on the moon.

As the months went on, I realised there was alot more I needed to learn until I can compete with other applicants, and that's where I'm at right now. I've definetly made costly mistakes and followed some dead ends but that's expected since I'm teaching myself. And it wasn't until May of this year that things finally started to click for me. Oh well, I guess! I'm a bit dissapointed but I really don't know what I could of done better. On the positive side, I feel I'm getting a better experience teaching myself than a typical student enrolled at a school.

Looking forward, I've set a new goal of being ready and sending out applications by early next year. I'm on the right track now as far as my studies is concerned and seems like all I need is time. Time spent on all the applications involved in the creation proccess and practice, practice, practice. So I'm gonna take a deep breath..... and move forward! Roar!
