The weirdest thing have started to happen. Several of my classmates at art-school have started to give me very positive criticism for my paintings and drawings. And it makes me feel very uncomfortable.

What I really can’t get is why they are so positive towards my stuff. I certainly don’t think I am the most capable artists among the bunch of us. And I know several that would even get a sour taste in their mouth for me using that term to describe myself. Anyway, they are very supportive and positive about what I make. But I really can’t see what makes my work catch their affection, atleast not to that degree. :/

Anyway, bygones.

Haven’t updated this place in a while. But atleast I did make sure that the entire page is valid XHTML 1.0 and CSS. So I’ve not totally neglected it. ;) However I do have a lot work left to do before I can consider it something in the realm of finished. Got a lot of layout problems to sort out and the menu to the left here.. Geeze, just look at it.

SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONETH!

And to make matters worse. I had intended to post a picture here everytime I updated. But TBH, I’ve been too lazy to get them scanned to bother posting any. But, atleast I am thinking about it now. So, better do something about it….

Yeah, for those of you who aren’t completely blind, it’s the same picture as on the top of this very page. But this is how it looked originally, when I drew it with coal on paper (specifically for this page mind you). I don’t quite recall what time of year I made it, but I am fairly certain I did it last fall. Next time I promise I’ll put up something more recent. But you should be glad, cause for a little while I considered putting up something from like 2003. And that wouldn’t have been pretty.

EDIT: I just now realized that I actually did put up a picture last time I posted here.. Well, a good and healthy trend has started, I must say!

Been hung over for the most part of today, not feeling like doing anything. But then I figured I’d do a Hi res version of the Cacodemon’s first front side frame in Doom, and post it in the forum thread over at Zdoom forums where they’ve got the somewhat “great” idea to make all the sprites in Doom into higher res versions. Of course, none of them can model or draw any so they are planning to do them by sizing up the original sprites and retouching them into looking better. This of course won’t really look anything intresting. But I digress.

I knew that the Caco were originally taken from a D&D book cover as you can see here on the Doom Wiki. So what I did were to take that very same picture and redrew it as a higher resolutioned Cacodemon. (yeah, I know I were cheating)
Presto!
