Life paintings and Dark Souls


2.5 hour sessions.
Trying to get faster mixing the right colours and the block-ins. Always run
out of time for finishing touches for darks and highlights at the end.

Played Dark Souls last month, it's not without problems but wow, such a good game, great improvements over the first game in most areas. No two boss fights are the same; the subtle and non blatant story suggestions adds to the atmosphere so much. The last third of the game feels rushed though and it basically had no ending, but overall probably my favourite game this year..so far.

Dat Beta

 The Bone Collector
Random design done after work again, so hard to do personal stuff after painting for the whole day, I will try harder, more pictures in next update =) Partly inspired by Dota2, D3, and my friends always talking about LoL. So I tried making a random hero hehe.

Didn't get into the Diablo3 beta but watching 1080p streams of it is just as fun haha. The game looks amazing so far, the art direction is pretty crazy! Almost 100% sure I'm going to play a Witch Doctor, those masks and the animations..

I also started listening to the Shannara audiobooks. The first book, The Sword of Shannara is really really similar to LotR, down to very fine details. Lets see how the second book goes..stay tuned..

Oh and our company is shipping Xmen Destiny later this month with Activision so check it out if you are interested.

This concludes the nerdiest post I've done haha..probably.

The screenshots..

from The Hunger Games movie released so far does not look too promising =<, the casting seems so different from what I imagined from the books to be.
(pics from RT http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/hunger_games/pictures).

Not too much stuff I can upload this time, so much stuff I wanna draw, so little time...and stamina haha. Need to go to some life drawing pretty bad, sketches pretty ridged from just doing work related art.

And congrats to everyone graduating this year from Sheridan!

Mages are not Overpowered anymore

 Seedling Image

Wow, it's been a while, no update on this thing for 2 months.

Been in production on my film Seedling, I'll post more details and images about it in another post later on, but needless to say it has been a pretty big project and I'm putting the finishing touches on it now. I've learned a lot over the past few months, from so many different sources, I can't wait to apply those to my work. Time flew by this year and now that school is almost done, it's time to look for a job to start paying those bills haha.

I've been playing Dragonage2 whenever I got a bit of free time during production and beat it today, awesome game, I like the change in direction in this second game =)
Also picked up Tangled on bluray, amazing movie, overwhelmingly beautiful. The only thing about the release is that the extra features on the disk seems kinda lacking haha.

Anyways, more updates on the film and other pieces soon!
