Forgot to post a ton of things that I've actually been posting everywhere else, heh, just a small smidgen of something I'm working on:



Corel Painter has given me no love since I got version 11, version 10 worked fine on my MacBook Pro with OSX 10.6 on it but 11 just has a deal-breaking bug right now. As such I've moved to Photoshop for digital work, it feels incredibly different but I'm slowly getting the hang of things; my workflow approach is actually very different in some aspects from when I used to work in Painter but the core actions I take I feel can still be applied. Anyways, more to come, got the Obsidian Rift update to work on as well as 2 other games! Thanks for stopping by!

Obsidian Rift, the iPhone game I've been working on has been released and we're finalizing our first patch which should be rolling out in a week or so, just pending on approval. Game development, well even the core idea of 'making a video game', has been something I've wanted to dabble in for years and years, so to have something come to fruition, complete and for sale out in the wild is truly humbling and very fulfilling.

Thanks goes out to those who've supported me throughout the years and to future supporters of my work! I'll endeavor to always improve and deliver the very best that I can. And with that I wish a very Happy New Year's to all and to all a very good day. :-)

A bit late, sorry for not updating, had a whirlwind of a work schedule recently. First thing's first, my Otacool4 entries:

Secondly, one of the projects I'm working on : Obsidian Rift
Thirdly, well, it's just nice to be updating this horribly out of date page again :-) I'm swamped with work through year's end, but hopefully I can be more diligent in getting word out here. Thanks for stopping by, I now return you to your regularly scheduled web surfing.

Meant to actually post this yesterday, got a bit distracted with other work, though, well, while at work ;^^É Nothing crazy but there's some development stuff for a personal project I'm working on, a bit more than usual but I figure that it's well enough along the way that it shouldn't pose any problems that I can foresee. My foresight has been lacking at times though, so my mileage, indeed, may vary.

I think from next week on out I'll have a more refined, well, page I suppose with a Gallery section as well for more finished pieces. For most of the last year, though, I've been working on this personal project and those pieces I most likely won't publish until we're just about ready for release; granted some pieces are actually older pieces but I think it would be best to keep those unassociated right now. Thanks for checking this out!

No real update yet, been busy migrating the new cat into her new home and cleaning up the studio a bit (well, a lot heh). Added my Facebook work-in-progress album that I've been updating with odd regularity; I plan on having more or less the same updates there as here, with a few bits of exclusivity on both sides. Well, 'tis rollin' on a bit later than I would have hoped, thankfully it's the weekend, endless possibilities abound :-)

Some doodles from today, swapped from mechanical pencil to ballpoint pen after lunch, just for fun, no real reason heh. Would have had more thumbnails and layouts worked out today but business is picking up at the office, which overall is a good thing. I think I'll just stick with this size for now, as far as general display on the front page goes; it's just thumbs after all and I don't think the bandwidth is an issue as they're combined just about 250KB or so.

Okay images and sketches, let's see how this works out. I'll be setting up a proper gallery later, one for finished pieces and one for sketches like this one. Hmmm maybe I need to resize this further. . .

Another small update, just testing this out on a more mobile situation from a coffee shop. So far so good, I think I'll invest in a small graphics tablet, something to tote around to do more Painter-oriented stuff on the go; there's a tool for everything to be sure and I think investing in specific tools would be better than retrofitting other non-specific ones for uses, even though I do enjoy my multitaskers, heh.

Okay I think I'm typing this out right, just hand-coding stuff right now since my page itself doesn't actually use a lot of crazy code yet. Just some basic, meat and potatoes stuff, text and images, nothing fancy.

Test part 2

Testing carriage returns, still got a long, long way to go. Have to start filling all this goodness with some gosh darn content! At least I have this page back to something closer to how I would like it although the color might be a bit much right now. Might as well go live, right? It's better (IMO) than the horrid mistake I uploaded a little while back, heh.
