I am a Dragon Furry and it is awesome to finally say it.

I have no fucking idea why I was afraid to reveal it and I'm glad I'm over with my own bullshit.

Maybe I've made more out of being a Furry than what "being a furry" actually is: a handfull of people who have an unhealthy obsession with cartoon animals.

Who said being unhealthy was such a sin?

The time has come to walk the wildside.
A friend linked a particular image a few weeks ago over facebook, and since I've seen it I can't stop thinking about it.

Confidence is just as good as delusion (bottom left), talent is a decision not a requirement (mid right), the compare to others race track is a never ending jelousy and fear trip, and self doubt hangs out at every stage allways threatening to beget disaster.

This is one insightful infographic for all of us artists!
I hope all you doods had a highfalutin holiday season.

It's been months since I wrote a journal, so welcome to 2012!

A few of you believe that the world (as we know it) is going to end this year, but that shouldn't stop you from working hard and achieving some new goals. For the rest of us it's just another year. Except for me, because this is the year I graduate! It's been a fun ride and I am both sad and ecstatic to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

My time at Insomniac games was a real blast. Here are some insights I got from the experience:

> Be organized and non-commital with your art work. Naming conventions and neat layers may feel like a hinderance to your creative process, but a game artist who is organized respects his comrades (and his future sanity).
> Be sensitive to your rendering. True excellence consists in being honest with the amount of work an asset needs. Overkill may satisfy your ego, but it's harmful to the team.
> Don't put dudes on pedestals (even if they deserve it). Worship is for the sun and the divine. We're all just mortal scum hoping to share and understand one another's individuality.
> Dont hold take-out bags upside down. You'll make a mess.
> Long hair and humidity do not cooperate. You look like a slob.
> Side walks are a two way street and you don't own all of it. (Unless you're in Manhattan)
> Anxiety? A handy emotional road map to the standing pivotal issues in your life. Face those fears, make the mistakes. You'll be happy you did.

I'm about 20 days late to the party with this next sentence, but I'm closing on it anyway: Make this year your best yet, especially if your calendar is a Mayan one.
My budday :iconisso09: and I are on the hunt for a web designer to spruce up our dusty old website www.dailyduels.com Feel free to contact either of us with a rate or if you've got any questions.

Here's a list of features that we need:

- A system that allows visitors to vote on the duel of the day, and keeps track of wins, loses and disqualifications.

- An archive page that displays the winning duels in the form of a calendar table.

- A timer till the next duel deadline.

Secondary objectives are

- An interface that automatically uploads our drawings at the time of the deadline. If one of us did not submit a drawing in time, it would automatically upload the "disqualified" picture.

- A duel topics database that randomly picks a topic for each day, out of a pool of topic ideas that we enter before hand.
If you haven't swung by already, two of the raddest artists around just joined up on DA.  These dudes are pretty much responsible for Ratchet and Clank's art direction and the macro artistic voice of Insomniac Games.

I just can't describe the kind of charge their work gives me, but a good place to start is by checking them out here: [link]

Do prepare for a strong dosage of badass.

It's been a long battle.

Back in August I had decided that the game company I most wanted to work for was Insomniac Games. Their titles and studio vibe have sparked my imagination many a time, and drove me to commit to nights and nights of hard work. What started as a mission to make some art that could do justice to how I feel about their games and culture as a studio quickly snowballed into a game art gauntlet. I cracked the wip on myself and tried to make some killer stuff heavily influenced by and even for the Ratchet series which I'm glad was well received by you guys on DA and the awesome folks at Insomniac.

I'm happy to say that my work on Ratchet will continue - officially, in Durham North Carolina where I will be doing art for Ratchet and Clank All 4 One!

Thanks for being a huge support and a source of encouragement and critique!

Land of opportunity, workshop megacomplex, meet and greet, and giant fucking game dev party are phrases people have used to describe to me what the Game Developers Conference is.

I'm checking it out next week with :iconisso09: And our schedules for the event include activities such as: networking, self promotion, getting drunk with Hideo Kojima and everyone from our favorite studios.... (Both of which you'll easily guess by the body of our work)

It should be loads of fun... or if not i'll have to find some way to make it fun since I'll be there for a whole week.

Slayed the demon hordes of college classes once more...

Now I'm looking forward to a month off in my Colorado shack with my buddy :iconisso09:

There's no heater there, so we'll have to paint stuff to keep ourselves warm. Other than that, we'll be participating in the typical midwestern activities; skiing, slaying orcs, and roasting marshmellows in the frozen wastes...

Hope everyone's doing good.
