Hey guys, thinking of doing a live stream at some point. I hope my computer is fast enough to record itself... But yeah, we'll see how it goes, I will post up a notice as soon as i get it set up!
Or bettter yet, Maybe someone could submit an art for me to critique? I dunno, what do you think?


Cheers!

Hey guys, I am currently trying to get my set up right for a teaching course I am trying to run. Is there any particular area you'd want me to cover?

I will be planning this out, and it is going to be a paid program where I mentor you and give you personal feedback, just like how most online courses work.

I have been teaching for a while locally and at work, so now I would like to broaden it out to the Internet and to you guys! I would like to help people improve so that they could get an entry level knowledge of how to break in today's industry.

Let me know your suggestions, thanks!

I will be with you soon!

[UPDATE]

Hey guys, I was just reading through some of your comments. First of all, thank you! They were really helpful, and I can now set up a structure around the topics you have provided.

So here is the list as follows:

Cell Shading
Painting
Anatomy
Backgrounds

As a graduate of animations, I have learned all of those from Uni, and have also developed through out the years working independently and in the industry. Whilst I have done courses online as well such as Schoolism, (I have seen about 5 of those courses and how its run) They only cover 1 topic. The same with the CG hub courses.

If I were to cover the topics above, the course is going to be intensive and it will be for serious learners! Just like existing courses online, I will be doing a section per week and set a homework that should last the rest of the week and after all homeworks are submitted by the end of the week, I will critique them individually for each person.

Obviously people will be in different levels, so I will cater to what they need. This feedback will be in a form of video where the other students will also have access to their classmate's feedback in order to see different critiques.
I have been looking at pricing and courses that only do 1 specific thing cost about $600-$1000. So, I will try to match the price range considering I cover more things. It is likely to be about 700$ and only 600$ if you recommend a friend.
This way, you are getting more for your money!

I think I will only take 15 students at a time, and later on expand so more people can join.

At the mean time, I will try and sort out the structure, and a website that will cover all of this.

I hope you guys are interested and I look forward to sharing my knowledge with you all!

Hey guys, just an update journal because some people ask me if I'm in any of the networking sites. Answer to that is; yes I am. But if you addme on Facebook, please don't be offended if I reject you. It's just that Facebook is a more personal website haha.


Anyway, here are some of my IDs

I have been instagraming a few times lately! So if you've got an account, I could follow you back


More stuff to be posted soon! Sorry I have been super busy, I am currently working on the new bejewelled game soon to be released later this month. Our company also just released the first game app on Facebook that uses real money to play, it's been all over the news. It's called "friendzy" if you fancy looking it up.

That's all for now, ta!

Hey guys!

Thanks for the birthday messages! I had a great time during the day.

Anyway, small news, just a heads up following up on the previous journal entry, I will be back this weekend to work on stuff, so expect plenty of posts from me! in the mean time, I have posted some character designs that I have done at work on my Behance portfolio. Go check them out here: [link]

See you guys soon!

Hey guys, just a heads up, I have booked the second week off work so I can work on commissions and post all of them
hopefully that would be an active week for me

Some people have been asking me what games have I been working on; Not sure if you guys have seen it before but I posted an image of an alien?
I had to take it down because the game is not released yet, but its going to be a facebook game. I also just worked on a slot machine game with an underwater atlantic setting.
And now, I am actually the designer working on the new Bejewled Cascade game (not sure if you guys play bejeweled blitz on facebook).
I am also working on a minigame that goes on our website's chat screen called; Whack a bird, where you whack black birds that come out a pie. (it looks like cooking Mam-ish)
They're all flash based, but as a designer, just to let you know, you have to create all the assets for it... So its quite a handful. But Im getting there!

Thats about it,
I will see you guys soon!

Also, Legend of Korra is finished; Thoughts?
I personally thought this series was a lot weaker than the old ones. Its too fast paced, and not much character development, theres a lot of big things happening, but then were endede in the following episodes.
But the ideas and concepts on the otherhand, great!

So sorry for the lack of update guys.
I just cant keep up at the moment due to work... I have been working on two games at the moment and the pressure is a bit heavy... I cant even find time to go out etc.
I will be responding to emails very soon. Sorry about that and my sincerest apologies to .
Im just trying my best to do well at work because im still a junior position and I basically had no weekend free to work on my own stuff (dying!)

I promise I wont fail to deliver! You have my word.

I will post all of the stuff soon. I have been working on them but I just have to keep post poning due to work load. I will take a break from work soon, so ill see you guys soon!

Hey guys, I'm just wondering if anyone out there is in search of a good table? Immselling mine for £100. I had this since it came out, and if anyone wants a novelty item from me? Haha my actual tool of trade to create my digital paintings!

Btw it's A6. The smallest. They're quite expensive to get hold of.

Hey guys, me and a friend are planning to start an online course, I will be teaching Photoshop Basics of painting and he may be teaching caricature and painting. I've had the opportunity to teach some schools and museums last year and was a great experience. I thought I could carry this through online as well.

This course will feature me live painting and going over the basic tools in painting, from creating line art to painting. This means you'll also get to learn how to cell shade like me! And I will be setting assignments and will give video feedback as well. The course could run from 3-5 weeks (its a weekly thing) perhaps depending on what to cover. But yeah, for all you aspiring concept artist or people who'd want to go into advertising, design, and concept art.

For now this is just a plan we have, but its likely that we are going to start it in July/august. It could would cost around £350 - £700 (depending on the level) for the full training.

I'm just wondering who would be interested for now before i set up the course. But as I said, its still in the works

Hey guys, we are looking for a potential starter for our company
If you guys are seeking opportunities, I would strongly recommend this!

Such a great company to work for.

Just use me as reference if you want to apply

Look at what I work with

Hey guys,

Just a little update, I have been back home but I dont have my computer yet, I need to get it back from my boarding house. I will be getting all my stuff back some time on the first of August. So I will commence then. Also, I have been trying to look for the job, my friend offered me a place, but I didn't get in because it wasn't my field... HA!

Also little news, I went travelling during the time I was back home. My aunt came down from America and took me on a european tour. It was an amazing experience. Some hardships along the way, had to sleep at train stations at some point and always moving from place to place. Was away for about 9 days and we went to: Munich, Austria, Venice, Geneva, Annecy, Paris, and Berlin. I really liked walking around in Venice. the architecture is so beautiful!

Watched the last Harry Potter as well. Im sure its more fleshed out in the book, BUT I was kind of underwhelmed when I watched it. It wasn't as 'epic' as I thought it would be... Also, the ending was the most anti-climatic thing I've ever seen on a multi-million budget film! I can't believe they didnt just recruit new actors to play their older selves! Literally everyone in the cinema bursted out laughing when the first showed on screen! Ah well, its the end of it.

On a different note, anyone been watching Game of Thrones? I recommend it! It's really wicked. Kind of like a mixture of LOTR and The Godfather. The book is even better, but I suggest watching the series before the book. AAAAAnd, new air bender is coming outtttt! It looked sweeeeeeet!

But yeah, that's all for now. I can't wait to be fully back here for your entertainment guys!
