Quickie Sketchies – Anime or Not? A Self Discovery.

You know, it’s interesting what impressions you give others, even though you don’t mean to sometimes. It happens to me a lot. I think mainly due to excessive behavior. I look upon my anime collection, my video games, my complete and utter otakuness. I even draw anime. What sort of impression does that give?

Obviously the impression of an otaku, obsessed with his hobby, so much so that it narrows the mind in terms of exposure to other cultures and art. For me, this is only partly the case.

I seem to give people the impression that Anime is the only thing that I know how to do (probably because that is mostly what I draw), and that I can’t draw other styles, or “stylized realism”.

I would have to say that this is not the case.

Game Art Gallery Added!

I’m sure many of you wonder what I do in my spare time. I work on video games! So with that, I’ve added a new section to my gallery detailing the work I’ve done in my six years of being in the game industry. Not everything has been added yet though. Keep checking to see for new stuff!

Personal Project

So I’ve decided to start a personal project for means of enhancing my portfolio and making myself more marketable. I figure that I’ve been in the game industry for six years now, yet I don’t really have much to show for it, since I do mostly managerial stuff nowadays. I can’t say that my skills have deteriorated, but more like become stale as technology and other peoples’ skills improve.

I *heart* Vieras

Sometimes, you’re hooked on figures, other times, you do something else like play video games. I’ve gotten a pile of video game that I have yet to play which date back to 1999! (not surprisingly, this was also when I met my girlfriend who is now my wife). I had purchased Final Fantasy XII when it was first released. The special edition version from EB games/Gamestop that had the bonus DVD and cool metal case. I even bought the special edition strategy guide I’m so hardcore!

So why is it that only now that I start playing FFXII, a Playstation 2 game, on my Playstation3? Backlog.
