doing well bro, spent alot of time studying classical art, I really wanted to bring what I was doing with the photo-manipulation all the way down to the pencil and paper level, its taken a very long time but I'm getting it.

I saw you worked on Avatar what was that like?

Enjoy it? lots of modeling/animating/texturing?

yeah, avatar was a great show to work on. we did the command center screens and the holographic table.

I'm a full time staff visual effects artist in LA these days. Made the move to go PRO which means alot of work and sometimes crazy hours but i dont regret it a minute :D i learn a ton!

I studied classic design before i did CG. Was worh it. A good basic understanding helps in my current job :)

kind regards,

really good that you studied classical design, I studied fine art and anatomy before returning to doing more cg stuff as nowadays. Its a must for characters. I dont know how much you remember my gallery but from 2001-2005 I was doing photomanipulation, then from 2005-2009 I focused entirely on drawing the figure anatomically, now aswell as studing drawing anatomy I am returning to my more digital roots and getting into character modeling. I am however hoping to move into concept art at some point; but I got some real learning to do.

you never know bro, we may be working together on a project one day! wouldn't that be a jiffy.
Nice gallery btw, you seem to know alot about particles! pls check out my gallery!, I'm pretty sure I'll be sending you a link when my demoreels up aswell.

Are you still doing techno flyers? I do occasionally...

Avatar was great, barely any over time, good money, great crew. I did VFX only. Lots of simulations and particle work.
