Through the Fire and the Flames we carry on!
Come July 1st, an ambition I set out to achieve 9 years ago will finally come of age. When I was 17, I decided that I wanted to make games for a living. And now after close to a decade of working really hard and coming really close to giving up many times I'm going to move into my first gig in the games industry.
To everybody who kept believing in me during the times I didn't; thank you. It really meant a lot to me.
To everybody who'se still out there working on getting their foot in the door; stay in the fight. Work hard and have courage.

Out of time
This will likely be the last speedy I'm going to do on office time for a while. Our department just caught wind of the new schedule and it is less than intelligently derived.
I love the kind of work that we do but how things are done on the "blunt end" of the spear leave me feeling like our department is going to lose it's head like the goose that laid the golden eggs. We keep exceeding expectations on our performance and instead of being rewarded for it they take our extra effort for granted and just consider it our 'latest benchmark'.
There is such a thing as doing "too good a job".
Yes, it's a privilege to be able to work in concept art so early in our careers, but I'm getting pretty tired of us and ours being worked like dogs for what others doing the same job in this industry might call fruit and nuts.
It's a give and take relationship; We give, they take. We'll see if we get what we were promised.

Another unfinished oldie
I know I've not been pulling my weight recently; apologies. My workstation at home is still belly up and gathering dust plus I've not been particularly motivated to rectify the matter.
This piccy is a fairly old one. Started as a character doodle and the background adlibbed in.
I need to go have myself a long walk. I don't seem to like weekends as much as I used to.

Another Old Art Dump
Been meaning to upload these for a while. Work still keeping me busy. Trying times, but somehow we learn to survive and overcome.
