Nice! I saw this in an add banner over at game-artist.net earlier today, looks awesome. I can't begin to think about the nuggets of awesomeness you're going to be dropping!

Let's see some credentials!

Slum · May 2009

Grats pig! I would definitely check it out if I had any free time or money

. I'm sure you've got loads of knowledge to drop for us. How about a dvd or something that's a little more affordable, yeah?

pretty sweet- I wish there was some sort of payment plan. wouldn't mind soaking up some of this knowledge but 500 hundo would break the bank atm

Snowfly · May 2009

$500 is a bargain for a course this length, there are less helpful game art courses here in Singapore that charge that much for a 3 hour session each week.

Wish I could join but it's still a lot to choke up...

X-Convict · May 2009

Congrats man! I'm sure it'll be extremely helpful for whoever signs up.

no doubt! It's definitely a good deal. There have been a few other courses on there I wouldn't mind taking as well.

I was looking as this, but as I use Maya it seemed like a no-go. Haters.

Asmuel · May 2009

cool man. I would sign up for this if I had the time. looks like a great way to pick up some invaluable tricks.

Andreas · May 2009

Any chance of this getting released on DVD a few months down the line? I'm pretty booked up for the next few months and cant really sacrifice the time for this...but it does look great!

Jeff Parrott · May 2009

Congrats! Can week 9 be teaching people how to do push-ups? I'll totally do it then.

Ancient-Pig · May 2009

Thanks a ton guys - I really appreciate all the support! It's shaping up to be a pretty fun class

I'll ask about the DVD's.. although, as the lesson structure goes, I think a lot would be missed out on without having the text lessons and feedback. Granted, there are hours and hours of narrated high res video, all of it kind of works together. Hard to visualize one without the other...

Nice job Piggy

Josh_Singh · May 2009

Wow good job man. Interested to see some of the pieces that come outta this course.

Uly · May 2009

hey pig, this looks really cool
i'd really like to mention, as others have, how neat this would be to have on DvD or as a digital download for the future. It'd be really neat to be able to see your tips and workflow in greater depth than you do in a normal DvD, but it's hard to wrap a class around work. (especially when it takes place during a fixed date.)

Digital download or boxed set! do it!

Kovac · May 2009

Damn I'd definitely like to attend this... count me in if my schedule permits!

moose · May 2009

how does this work? Is it a web-cam type class? Ventrillo type thing? The idea is really cool and intriguing. Did you write the syllabus?

Good luck with this, should be fun

//edit: i fail at the intertubes and just found the faq, answering a lot of questions... and feel like a dolt because aparently this kind of thing is pretty big. haha i win internets today

Lee3dee · May 2009

awesome!

Sean VanGorder · May 2009

looks awesome

samgriffiths · May 2009

I would love to do this if I didn't have my insurance to pay in a couple of months, I'm sure its going to be a great class.

Ancient-Pig · May 2009

Thanks everyone - the class is almost filled up. Still a handfull of spots left to go. I'm looking forward to seeing the work that comes out of this class as well.

I'll try and get everyone to post their works once it's all done

Mark Dygert · May 2009

I'm not sure just putting the class on DVD will do as much good as actually being part of the class. I think a separate DVD (or series) catered to that format would work better, at some point in the future.

IronHawk · May 2009

cool man congrats!
