Brace your self, 3Dter is comming.
Posted 12 years agoIN anycase, still on FA, and on Weasyl. Havent posted much since only recently, 3 months ago I graduated after 5 years of studying. Now officially have a title of an Engineer (AMK)... aka Polytechnic Engineer, in Media Technology. After a short break from -everything- except my work, I have returned-ish.
The release from my student duties (for now) has freed up a small allocation of my time for other things, especially considering creation of standalone Games, and stuff in Second Life. Lets see how it goes :)
Also, attending Confuzzled. Got something else occupying on August :<
Looking forward for the rest of the year.

Good Days ahead and Confuzzled
Posted 12 years agoBeen in a rather good mood lately.
I have only 1 class remaining along with my thesis and a report before I am finally an Engineer, albeit late by a year.
The next few weeks will finally also be my first vacation from my work. I really need it, as I've been doing quite a bit of overtime over the year I've been working. But with this vacation Ill be heading to Confuzzled! Going to be there a day early, and leave a day late.
This will also mark the 4th con outside of Finland for me.
Ill probably write more after I come back, but I expect it to be fun :)

The Flood, Retiring from SL Business, Weasyl
Posted 12 years agoPhew, finished uploading a couple of sketches I had sitting in my small little notebook. Most of them Back from EF17, some of them from way back When I attempted an Iron Artistish challenge (Copper Challenge).
*********
tl:dr;
*********
To date, I've been quite busy with work and school in the mix. While I was supposed to graduate Last year, I sorta missed a couple of courses due to being employed consistently between many different companies, as well as being self employed in between gigs. I am now on a finishing streak with my school with only a handful courses and my thesis.
Work is still work, but it is now way more permanent; its a heck of a rollercoster ride, but occasionally I have time to relax and be creative.
This means I should finally be able to continue working drawing and sketching again after I have finished my Engineer of Media Technology degree. Its still a ways to go, but Ill get it done eventually.
On the other hand, My Second Life use has clearly been downed as I started work life along with education; I am thinking of retiring from further development in it; unless something of interest comes up soon. Products I have released will still be maintained if they break in any further updates, but I'm just not gonna be active with creating anything; case in point, I haven't created any new product for the past 3 years, and logins may vary by weeks....
I have experimented with Mesh, and created some very interest prototypes Mesh heads and Weaponry that barely anyone has seen. In short it has been a creative outlet for me, especially when trying to create models that would work in a game environment. But I think its time to move on.
Everything seems so slow in the world now. While Mesh it self freed up alot of the earlier loops one had to do with Sculpties, but to be honest, it is only a structured,easier and better method of doing sculpt like shapes, while much more costly for the end user in terms of prim-count (performance wise it could be optimized like hell, but a Model with about max 2048 triangles (and Logarithmic triangle count on Lower LODs) is still going to cost more prims than 1 sculpty, which, by end results still has the same amount of triangles.
This is a minor gripe I have, and I could continue, but simply put, I don't feel a deal with arbitrary limits set by Linden Labs.
It is only exacerbated by the fact that only a small handful of my old social circles remain active in it. Everyone else has moved on.
I'm also starting to feel a bit aged to start socializing anew in the virtual space, Especially since all my old stomping grounds are gone and simply put I don't have time to dedicate into socializing in a virtual space, especially asI have expanded my horizons in reality. It doesn't help much that the fandom in SL has a very sexual overtone, which simply isn't of interest to me.
Nowadays, my Interest has been diverging into actually developing actual Games;
With the Oculus Rift and Leap Motion around the corner, I am very interested into developing Virtual environments and games for them. Currently experimenting with random dungeon Generation in Unity3D. It will be an interesting experiment and I am looking into the future into this.

Copper Artist Challenge Failed.
Posted 13 years agoOH well. I failed to adhere try to submit once a day. But theres alot in play:
First - Im still working on my thesis. I shouldn't definitely not have done this challenge this month, but on the summer instead.
Second - I just got a job (which I said Im gonna try the challenge if i got), so getting home, tired, I pretty much fell a sleep before managing to be creative. I did notice drawing was good way to relax.
Third -
I just cant make my self upload works that are half done (not sketches), and still lacking practise on proportions,
it just takes very long time for me to polish the work, (I know it was the idea to do so while drawing) but it feels wrong making bad proportions.
The Inkling also is not a very accurate device so the sketches are at best, sketches, and still require alot of finetune.
Perhaps later after practising a LOT more ill try it again.
I still have 2 weeks worth requests,
I'm still planning to do the requests requested to have some practice on, and then accept some more once again.

A day late with the start of the challenge
Posted 13 years agoJust finished formating my computer, but still isntalling all sorts of software, and my thesis stuff comes in first.
While this shouldnt be an issue, the sketch I made of Rekaze has yet to be scanned cleaned and submitted. but just as a teaser, its something to do with yesterdays epic strategy boardgame :D
Anyway, will submit two works tomorrow around this time.

Iron Artist Challenge Month in April
Posted 13 years agoI've decided, that on April I will do an strike at doing an Iron Artist Challenge.
Its been a LONG while since I last drew something proper due to having to work with 3D models,
and I'm have visibly gotten rusty with drawing and Design.
Also to get more visibility.
Thus, I'm challenging myself to do an Iron Artist Month in April.
Now, I am not an Epic or even a well known artist that could push up a hellalot of cleanly drawn, well colored and shaded stuff within a short amount of time, but I would love to have the practice, and develop an art style of my own; which is why I am doing this.
Do not however expect much as I'm out of practice.
Why April? because I will receive a new toy a few weeks before that (hopefully).
And Would have had some time to get my self familiar with Sketchbook Pro, instead of Photoshop.
Requests are now accepted taken, and will taken inorder as they are received.
There is a couple of rules for my self and requested:
The works will be sketches, not complete works.
As Examples, which I did under my old alias, Virtualfox- a few years back:
- Should be limited to at most 2 character. If its someones fursona, do provide description in notes, otherwise you are giving me a free hand on it.
- If there is an environment, It will at best be a rough sketch of one
- At most, I should spend 1 hour on each, 2 only in emergencies, due to my limited amount of time.
- I will do 1 sketch a day.
- They are sketches, with basic colors
- Try to improve with each day.
- Adhere to My Commission/Request Rules
I will start on April.
This post however is for those who want to grab a spot early, Will be posting this a few days before April on the forums. Otherwise, everything I'll make will simply be random sketches :P
