AWESOME. Definitely a happy birthday - 9 years is amazing! Here's the big black & green! 9 years ago I was just entering highschool (grade 9) and hadn't thought much about game art back then - that came at about grade 11. phew
9 years eh? Pretty much around since games went entirely into 3d. Makes sense I suppose. 9 years ago I was 11, I played a great deal of Marathon being as I only had a mac powerpc at the time.
Yay for nine! lesse, 9 years ago.. 1998? Playing starcraft, made a 3d model of samus out of primitives.. got introduced to lightwave and made this just before it turned to 1999. lol (nice to see I haven't gotten better in 9 years eh?) :P
