Ultramarine Devestator

Finally finished this drawing after it being on my drawing desk for a long, long time.
I’m a fan of the Ultramarines and who doesn’t love the Heavy Bolter to rain hell down upon the Heretic and the Xenos!
Here’s a link to the DeviantArt version :) Linkie

Sniper Elite V2

Been playing the demo for Snipe Elite V2 since it was released on Steam. Still on the fence about this game in terms of openness and freedom to choose how to tackle scenarios and such. Will probably wait for a full review before I make any decisions.

Did do a short vid with a bunch of killshots :)

Pew pew! :P

Deviant Art Spam

Recently I made my first sale on Deviant art, a whopping $0.17 profit for me!

All this lead me to wonder if selling on Deviant Art is a viable source of income. So I decided to upload a bunch of decent pictures that I have taken over the last few years to see if anything comes from it.

Buy something, please! pleeeeeeeease!  or if not, tell your friends :P

Sweeney Todd was here.

Flatmates cat had a trip to the vet yesterday and while he was there, the cat was shaved. Shaved is perhaps not the correct word, more like butchered.

jQuery and eBooks

Xmas shall be coming early for myself and my girlfriend, well the gifts will at least. I have ordered a Sony Reader PRS 650 for Rei and myself and I hope to have a paws on them early next week. Looks like a very nice piece of kit :) I’ll try and resist giving Rei hers until xmas >:)

Coding a new site at the moment, a local jewellry. I’ve done photography work for them previously, ironically, the photos were for their website <.<  Their website should have been launched last year but the coder they had seems to have lost interest or something. Haven’t really gotten a solid design in my head but I’m currently gathering bits of code and putting stuff together. Have done a nice automated css slideshow with jQuery using this awesome work here.

Also, the wait continues for the Wacom Inkling to become available. I really want!

Game Night

It being a Friday, its traditionally ‘Game-Night’.

My small social group generally consists of geeks/nerds. For years ( now that I think of it, well over a decade ) we have been playing pen and paper RPG’s consistantly.

Dungeons & Dragons, Legend of the Five Rings, Call of Cthulhu, Werewolf: The Apocalypse, Dark Heresy & Deathwatch. We generally rotate throughout this list with different people running campaigns from time to time.

Tonight, we are continuing a L5R campaign. Fingers-crossed my Tsuruchi Archer Bounty Hunter won’t be killed, or if it comes to that, a heroic demise would be pretty awesome.

Bleh, enough rambling.

*flees*

Forever a battle…

Trying to get some drawing done but as always, it feels like a never-ending battle to get graphite to paper.  I miss the times when I could just doodle and I shall be trying to rediscover how I used to do it.

Primarily, I think I am too hung up on the feeling that my drawing isn’t good enough. This is turn compels me to not draw at all. I need to be less concerned about the end result and just draw. I will improve as time goes by, I just need to spend those hours working to get there.

Started a drawing a few days ago, my ultramarine character from SpaceMarine. Working on the shading now and I’m having trouble getting an even tone.

Also, I really want one of these, Wacom Inkling.

Bye for now :)

Sudden case of activity

Surprisingly, I did actually get a lot of stuff done that I would normally procrastinate on.

My computer has been suffering with a dodgy sound-card for a long time now but the instability has escalated to the point where I finally removed the card. Some hunting later yielded a daughter-board for some on-board sound functionality. I’m happy to say that it’s currently installed and working a treat.

I have also gotten some cleaning and tidying done and dismantled the light-box on my drawing table so I can use it again.

Will either start on some doodling or miniature work. Would like to do a Deathwatch Drop-pod. Would definitely be a fun weathering project.

Been doodling an Adeptus Sororitas character but it’s a bit of a mess. Might upload a scan or photo soon.

Out and about plus I got mail!

Hi hi,

Nothing hugely important to post about :)   No harm in trying to develop a posting habit though.

While out shopping earlier, I was delighted to find some Cherry Coke! Haven’t seen this stuff in years! Woo hoo. Hope it’s still as good as I remember.

Also, parcel delivery this morning :) My revoltech Skeleton warrior finally arrived from HobbyLink Japan. Been a while waiting for this one and I’m looking forward to doing some photos soon.

Apologies for crappy photos, camera on my phone is pretty woeful.
