Haha, i’m such an idiot, with no idea how to make the looping work with XHTML code. Hmm…

WRECK_IT SMASH Alive!

 

As promised, I painted my sculpture of Wreck-It Smash Ralph. 6 hours of paint,filtering and adjustments. It turned out SUPERB! I really enjoyed the process and LOVE the outcome. Thanks for viewing, hope you like it as much as me. *Happy Face*.

Be the TERAble!

On Jan 16, 2013, TERA, the “first True Action” combat MMORPG has hit Free to Play!

I know it’s a bit late, but I just wanted to hold this off a little bit because I’ve been busy play testing the heck out of this game, for the second time. The first time was during the pay-to-play stage where the maximum amount of time trial offered to me was for a week, so I tested a Slayer class out since it looked pretty sweet at the time, but then as school was pretty tight around the time, with projects and deadlines, by the end of the week I was only level 18 and did not squeeze enough contents out of the time frame given to me. But this time around, I’m happy with my new Berserker, and felt extremely happy as it’s game play stays true to it’s grit: every swirl and every smash takes full swing and hits with utmost fury with beautiful timing animation and sweet physics that gives great momentum and weight to each impact, blood splattering glory! It stays true to the Trinity Theory of Tank, DPS, and Support, and it works. If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it. Guild Wars 2 on the other hand ( I just got to bring it up because I pre-purchased the collection’s edition of that game during Beta and loved it since, but during SPvP or WvW PvP, without the holy Trinity, it’s a cluster of mess in my opinion, where no support’s given, and thus no structure nor in depth organization when fights starts. It quickly became a man eat man battle area where everyone try to go berserk and do anything to score a kill or zerg and capture forts, it’s chaotic IMHO. Tera’s amazing combat is what kept me playing the last 4 and gotten as far as level 38 and as far as visuals goes, it’s rendered gorgeously despite the fact that it is Unreal Engine, not that it’s anything wrong with that, In fact I am also learning UDK in school, so I know how amazing it is, can’t wait for Unreal Engine 4 though. All in all,it heavily reminds me of the realistic and deeply engaging combat styles of Monster Hunter series, which i simply adore, heh who doesn’t? Tera uses a reticule system for aiming where your hit box will be, much like shooters, where if you play an Archer, your arrows hit where you point your reticule, and same for melee characters, your swing hits the angle and aim towards that direction. Positioning and timing is extremely if you want to maximum efficiency playing this games combat system, it’s extremely satisfying and rewarding .If you like beautifully rendered environment, detailed modeled characters, amazing backdrops, fluidly animated movements, and most importantly, the blood-stenched battlegrounds of “True Action” combat, then wait no longer, head on in and be the TERAble!

He’s just gaming, keep it coming guys…

This is an Editorial I did just now, in comic style, which talks about the issue of youth these days getting so much into games that they are almost oblivious to their surroundings. Sit down, grab your controllers, put on your headsets and let the world go dark. Video games are so addicting these days: RPGs, Online FPS, specifically MMOS that require too much attention, focus and dedication, we loose our connection to the real world when we are engaged and missing lunch/dinner hours and totally put ourselves within the shoes of our virtual selves.

Play our game!

Hey y’all, as of yesterday the judging for the game has begun. Register, play the game, comment, rate, and review. It will definitely help make the game better!

Please go here:

While the game is being judged, they have allowed the public free access to try the games out without having to register. So go nuts and spread the word. You have the link so send them out to everybody you know, the more people online creating and playing games in Quasar the better. This will allow the judges to play with other gamers who are also new to Quasar. New players registering will get a bunch of credits to try out new ships and weapon types so they have an incentive to try out against other players on an equal playing field.

Wreck-it SMASH!

As I promised, this is my first attempt at Wreck-it Ralph sculpture. I really like the Hulk from Marvel so I did this one within the boundaries of Hulk’s massiveness and somewhat he’s “SMASH” posture, still keeping in tact that it is still Ralph imitating Hulk, so Ralph’s personality and his style had to be there. 😀

Hope you like it. Please rate and/or comment. Would love feedback. Thanks so much 😀

I will be digitally painting it this weekend, so stay tuned for some colour splashes.

The Rise Of The Artist, You Are The Future

I just recently came across this sweet editorial which talks about how creativity is the “leadership competency” of the future and trump system thinking.

 

(“Instead of making a resolution to learn how to code in 2013, you might make a resolution to learn how to draw.”

-Auren Hoffman)

(“I have no special gift. I am only passionately curious.”

-albert Eistein)

 

Bring out your inner creativity and rise as one of the new generation of artists and thinkers.

So check this editorial out if you are interested.

Ship Designs

Please view this without clicking on the image, smaller the crisper the image in this case,  as they are meant to be 400 pixels, but i did it in 2560 x 1600 xD

This is my first ship designs for the new space shooter game called Quasar @ Osap Games and hopefully win the pitch to be a new indie game releasing, or at least give the developers of Player.IO some interest.
Currenly the game’s undergoing multiplayer phase testing.
Hope we win, figers crossed ‘x’.
