Hah thanks for the support Arsh & guys I only just noticed I made front page. ( which is weird since I put it up there over a week ago ) Cgtalk does seem to have this absolutely humungous userbase these days, and any publicity is good publicity. 10,000+ hits on the thread and only one job offer So it's not lead to fame and fortune just yet, but it has given me some absolutely fascinating e-mails, including this classic from just now:
"My name is Lei .Im 22 years old Now.
I like the 3 d character and paint that you do very much,
I am your idolater
I apply the 3Dmax and softiamgeXSI .
This is what I do.Hope you to bring forward the notion."
Which is totally rad, and it makes it all worthwhile.
Daz i never conected it but the painting you have at the end with the guy and the dog, thats from field and streams rite? If so the guy that writes the article that picture goes with is my best friends step dad.
Well done mate, much deserved even if they took their sweet time about it!
I often wondered what a CGTalk front-page leads to... money? fanclubs? women? Guess not, but idolaters sounds like a sweet deal anyway.
Btw, as some dude pointed out, your hand-gun painting is just ridiculous. Seriously.
I already said it when you posted it here, but that's an awesome reel. Congrats on having it reach such a wide audience. Let me know if you get too mady idolators; I could use a few around the house.
Copngratulations daz. The benefitsmay not be obvious quite yet, but folks will remember the reel and your work, and that is gold these days, for future jobs.
Right now yeah. I have my hands free for typing! <grunt>
It also gets you 20 chinese students adding you to their IM list! Honestly I really shouldn't complain. I've had 5 companies approach me since it went up there so that's totally cool. And of course the sex thing is nice.
