    One analogy would be film-making. It's like watching a talented director making pornos when he could actually be making decent movies.

    This is hilarious. You know what man, I could take this as actual advice if Haz had any issue actually getting work but that's not the case, and being as the Kingdom Death stuff is paying (I would assume) I'm thinking he is doing alright.

    Basically read as "But you're not making WHAT I WANT YOU TO MAKE!"

    Haz, Gav, this thread has brightened my day.

    Oh Gav. ;) I got where I am today by refusing to sacrifice my life any further crunching and pushing polys for someone else. I've been in the game and it ain't that glamorous. My last day drawing a wage as a 3D artist began at 3AM coughing up blood from two stomach ulcers I didn't know I had, after working god knows how many weeks 9AM-9PM, through weekends, under a talentless fucktard lead who was burying us all. And yet you and others talk about this industry and your job as if you're working for Doctors without Borders. Try to stay humble.

    You (and a lot of other people) give what we do a little too much credit (making 'art' for business men to truly profit from, not you, on creative projects that don't even come from you). You aren't painting the fucking Sintine Chapel roof, Gav. And neither is anybody else. It's just game art. Tryto stay humble.

    And yes, people who have tried to steer Haz away from this tackiness aren't doing it out of jealousy. They are trying to actually help him grow by offering other avenues he could explore, but, as some other 'fellows' that come along, he refuses to. He is the exact same as all those 'artists' in P&P who refuse to change anything because it's 'stylised'.

    One analogy would be film-making. It's like watching a talented director making pornos when he could actually be making decent movies.

    Anyways, this is (more than likely) a troll thread deliberately created to incite. Not sure why I'm bothering.

    I also don't think that many artists actually PM him as much about this topic as he claims; otherwise you'd see them out here saying the same thing too. All in his head.
    Haz just needs the occasional attention-seek, bless his cotton socks.

    Through the magic of Google Translate, I've been able to decipher this post. Here's the direct translation for the viewing pleasure of all:

    "I'm a little bitch who didn't realize he could find a job where I wasn't working for a douchebag. Instead, I quit life and started posting on the internet.

    Also, I didn't realize that Michelangelo fucking hated painting and was only in it for the money.

    I don't like the fact that there are artists out there who've decided to specialize and get really fucking good at things I'm too lazy commit my time to, so I'm going to try to bring those people down to my level.

    I don't know anything about film making, but I'm pretty sure this is a good place to mention it because I think people like movies.

    Anyway, I don't understand the concept of sarcasm, but I'm going to keep talking anyway!

    I never receive PMs from anyone because nobody likes me, so I'm going to assume that the popular kids don't either.

    Anyway, I think popular people are attention whores."

    Um, dude, I'm pretty sure that was the joke, that's what made the thread funny, that's what sold it as an April's fools joke, the entire "Something behind the scenes that changed my life", kinda like how certain places on Reddit currently have the joke of "I met a Pastor, talked to him, changed my life, I will shut down everything now" on April.

    Seriously, dude what the hell man? Burnt toast and coffee much? D:

    Here, let me take the edge off

    I initially thought the thread wasn't an April Fools; so I told him he shouldn't change for the benefit of others, rather himself. His second post also seemed very genuine so I was fooled. I think I was actually pretty nice about it, wished him good luck, told him I liked his most recent piece, etc. Its all there. But I done goofed, and turns out it was a troll post. :poly136:

    Not the first April fools that has got me so far today I have to admit.

    Skamberin: I'm offended, those chrome balls are huge

    I'd like to point out, that Andreas should be perfectly fine with the art Haz produces, he watches Game of Thrones which is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar worst than anything Haz has produced. I'd like to know how many more of the "Haz Haterz Club" are in the same boat as Andreas - just putting lip service to something because it's the popular thing rather than actually having any true conviction in their beliefs.

    Hey everyone,

    I just wanted to let you all know, over the past year I've recieved a tonne of mail regarding my questionable choices in art. Many have suggested I shouldnt waste my time with tits and ass models, and most whom I've attempted to explain myself too, have only ended up hating me further.

    I've stubbornly fought against the ever-increasing amount of suggestions to curb my enthusiasm towards sexy female characters but I wanted you to be the first to know, that I've finally realised you are right.

    Sorry to all the folks I've offended, no more sexy girls from me.

    Your pal,

    Hazardous.

    So when is the Easter bunny giving back your balls? Have the feminist found out where you live?
