Up and Running

Well, I'm pretty happy with this new site. I tried creating my own using Wordpress on my own hosting service but I really like the look of this site better, and it's much easier to use. I like Wordpress but it is more complex. This site just has a more warm, steampunk sort of feel that I think turned out pretty cool. So I'm going to be posting my art and info on my projects. I been working on ideas for a computer adventure game. I have been using RPG Maker because of it's power and use of use, but I'm not so sure I want to use it to make my game. I like the classic style games you can make with it but even so I'm not too much into fighting games. I kind of prefer games where you use your mind and go through a funny story solving not too hard puzzles. Then again I'm not very good at solving puzzles so it may be a bit hard for me to design them. Then again I'm not too good at playing games without some kind of help. Oh, let's face it - I usually need a walkthrough unless the game is easy. Well, back to the drawing board.

Space Chase - Only without the Space

Here's a picture from my comic, the Far Reaches. I didn't model the big background ships but the main purple ship and the air-taxi I models and textured from scratch. I love modeling ships in 3d. And doing special effects. Also each element in this picture was rendered out separately in Lightwave 8.5 and composited in Photoshop. I just get more control over it that way. This was one of my favorite scenes to do in my comic. The heroes are trying to escape these crazy little alien hit-men and they end up chasing through traffic in a cool futuristic city. Good times.

Legends from the Void Comic Strip

This is a comic strip that I did back in '08. I like the way that the art came out but in the end I just didn't feel motivated enough to make something out of the story. Besides I think comic strips are like a haiku - short, concise, and harder that it looks.

Is this thing on?

Hello world! Is this thing on? Ahem. Well, here's my favorite CG image in my gallery. It was done completely from scratch in Modo 301. It was so complex and my machine is just so slow that I had to render each section out separately and then composite them in photoshop.
