got a bit of an update on this guy, plan to really work hard on this starting in a few days (overlapping projects, blargh...gotta finish promised deadlines before I can really get into this guy more).

Just to clear the air. I am not for killing Bambi, Peter Rabbit, Bugs Bunny, Pete the Prairie Dog, or Wylee Coyote. If you do it for meat no problem. I have never been able to kill animals with a gun. I killed a few sparrows when I was about 10 and felt so guilty I never did it again. I just like to target practice about…
Is this thread meant to seek truth in politics, or only drinking the cool-aid for one's personal views? My goal is to, once again, point out the inconsistency in your [now-apparent] hate of Mrs. Palin. (1) I am not campaigning for movie theaters. Hopefully you see the non sequitur reasoning that would compare one's…

Greetings fellow Polycounters! I've had a stupid habit of trying to 'backup' nearly the entire supply of tutorials the internet has to offer, regarding game art, on my hard drive. In this thread I've tried to organize the unmanageable mess that I've made, into a somewhat readable/presentable form. Tried to pretty much post…
Hey guys, I wanted to share my level up with you, and maybe it will encourage those starting out or struggling in their art journey too. My name is Scott Harris, I’m currently 31 and I’ve been on an art journey for 11 years. If I had known it would take 11 years at the time to be at a milestone point, I would have become a…
