[ QUOTE ] I like drowning kittens. [/ QUOTE ] And then there are those guilty pleasures most of us keep to ourselves. Ror must have had some good booze going thru his viens when he posted that =P As for me I like art. Almost as broad as Hawkins "japan" preply but really I like anything creative. If my wife is making…
I work in the non creative side of things (Tech support) Which most in the industry will tell you isn't a real "industry job". But hey whatever, I get into E3, it pays really well and our crunch time is only one month out of the year. From Dec 26th until the end of January is the only time we are "allowed" to rack up OT…
got any local go kart tracks? those things are killer and have good membership discounts... a great way to blow off some steam and meet all walks of life photography classes would be cool imo or sculpture... keep your mind off work but still art related enough to maintain well lubricated creative gears a turnin' you're in…
Ouch.... I remember when I was graduating from highschool that collins was one of my choicesm it was between SCAD, College for Creative Studies (Detroit) and Collins College of Art and Design. The only reason I considered going there was a graduate from my highschool went there and was one of the lead artists at…
Yeh I would slow down if I were you. If you want to work on sculpting, make a sculpt of a naked dude or girl. If you want to work on armor concepts, make a million concept sketches (and ask for advice and take it when given). You're doing at least 5 different artistic disciplines here and doing them all wrong. I think it…

My fellow artists are so tallented I feel lucky every day I walk in the door. They constantly amaze me with the quality of the concepts,…
i think you are making things overly complicated. groups are usually disasterous.. required groups.. *shudder* especially with nothing in the way of prizes lined up. it needs to be open to both single players and groups. not everyone has the spare time to devout to 2 or 3 other people to get things worked out. while not a…
[ QUOTE ] PC gaming is entering a time i'd like to call TEXTUREPOCALYPSE [/ QUOTE ] You'd better send the bloody Lotus back quick then eh mate?! Seriously though, the pc market is a really weird beast. It drives 3D graphics technology, yet the quality from many developers is piss poor. The id's and the blizzards are the…
For a creative design problem like this, it's important to recognize when it is occuring once it happens again in the future. It happens more than you may realize. You're heading toward exhaustion, you have identified two options in your mind and are unhappy with both. A similar thing happens to me when digital painting…
Sorry I am not sure what I am doing wrong in my statements? I apologize. But as far as I know we have the same internet with the same historical facts. In 2001 when that demo was released It was demo-ed on the 2nd generation gpu chips released that year. With such revolutionary pixel shader work I can't see how they didn't…
