The three new deviations were made and completed in an afternoon. My inspiration has been very difficult lately but I'm going to slap some sense into myself now and keep working - even when I don't feel like it.

I got my hands on the new 3 Doors Down album and I'm obsessing about all the cheesy pop melodies my ears can receive because those cheesy happy feelings are the ones I channel to make more art.

At the moment, "Home" by Chris Daughtry is on heavy rotation. Why? Well that kind of music speaks to me, it also triggers thoughts for a special someone out there in the war... I hope he gets to feel a bit of the good moods I fuel on lately.

  • Mood: Yearning
  • Listening to: Daughtry - Home
  • Reading: "Judge" by Karen Traviss
  • Playing: Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare

Woah, you sure are back to business. Those latest updates set a new standard, they are truly amazing artworks. You're laying the foundation of a master matte painting artist here, eh? :D

It's great to see you getting good inspiration, I've been having trouble to find it myself lately. But that sure is a nice song you're listening to, and I guess the person you're referring to is your army buddy from WoW?

Please check out my Dev page, and comment on my stuff! Thanks!
Matte painting? ...I remember watching "making of" documentaries with these huge glass walls of fake backgrounds for movies. Who uses that anymore? I mean, how much more expensive would it be to just hire a student in computer graphics to lay a few layers in Photoshop than to buy a 10 feet wide glass canvas... So yeah so to speak, I could evolve into that kind of painting if I spend the right amount of time focusing on detail.

Anyway yes, that's him. He doesn't play anymore of course but I still do and passing on all his teachings to this new guild I'm in. Tonight I introduced those kids to clock positionning on voice chat: "Target at 12 o'clock!" Haha... It's great fun though I wish he was around to give me a virtual pat in the back sometimes ;) It's just great to have someone to look up to when I'm feeling down.
Love that track! I heard it a couple of weeks ago and rushed on my guitar to learn it. Now I'm hooked on "It's the only one you've got" and "Runaway", the choruses are so sweet :D
I meant those kinds of "matte paintings": [link] The modern ones. ;)

So you havin fun playing drill sergeant with your new "recruits", eh? ;P

Ah yes... I could sit there for hours and just look at all the tiny windows and street lights in those paintings :o

You have no idea. The worst part in all of this is that I can't write it in my CV: "Has lead many raids in high-end dungeons: tactical leadership and morale boosting" Damn shame.
Actually, even in FPS games you don't really get a chance to say things like "Copy that! / Roger / Incoming!" because they are so repeatitive... WoW at endgame content becomes so difficult that you really need to follow military discipline to achieve things as a guild. Even the most casual people don't feel awkward saying copy that when going through tacs ;D

Tomorrow we might be able to kill one of the 3 toughest bosses in the game. If we make it I'll just NEED to shout "Hooah!" :lol:
WOOOOOSH! Every time I look on here, you have something new up. That's awesome. I like these atmospheric pieces that you are doing. Good for you!
