<final post>
Time for me is over. I want to thank everyone for all the feedback, and if I missed any of it I apologize or you were wrong (hey I can't be me if I don't say it). I'm now in the process of moving and have submitted my final. If you're reading this there's a good chance my computer is in a box.

Originally, I had ambitions of this being a fully playable level traversing the floating islands and so on. Then, according to timestamps, I had to stop due to art tests and interviews for pretty much all of the first contest month. That worked out for my career it's now moving forward, but put a huge dent in my development schedule.

With all bitching and moaning aside, I decided no matter what I was going to finish (dammit)! I reduced the scope to a scene composition, and my aspirations to "it doesn't matter if I win as long as it gets done." I did that, I'm happy with my outcome and looking forward to learning more about UDK in the coming months.

Now the contest gets an extension, and I have to pack up all my thinks and get the hell out of Dodge (Fairfax in this story). So to all you dirty deadline whores I say use your extra week wisely! Squeeze every drop out of it you can, because when I touchdown and get my computer unpacked I don't plan to do anything. See that was an empty threat to get everyone excited, and be anticlimactic. That kind of stuff is funny to me.

See you's all again soons. Oh, and here's all my final images

For this project, like my love life, I'll be going solo. Fueled by Amon Amarth, Mountain Dew, New Rock boots, three wolf tshirt, Diablo 2 and Swartzwelder books, this is sure to be a success or at least the first half of the word. My concept has a lot in common with my reality in that it's all in my head, but enough about me. I'm going to focus on myself for a while. When starting this, the first question was, "how do draw attention to my thread?" I knew a cool name wasn't going to cut it. So my first idea was to write up this humorous introduction, but then I remembered no one ever reads what people say. Especially a wall of text like this. They just look for pretty pictures, and ask questions already answered in the description. With that, I spend a few hours completely fabricating a fake scene. Then, spent about as much time touching up and faking the render to look as cool as possible to score with the no chicks that lurk this forum. Finally, post a really huge image of it with optional never return to thread.
