Typical crap, typical solutions... Todays Rant!
Not much to rant about this time. Yathzee does a better job at ranting... and a funny one. So if you have never seen Zero Punctuation go screw yourself


News from the ticker

The game itself has been a bit slowed in progress so the game engine can be pushed. Release is slated for somewhere this year so time is burning . Nevertheless I could test a new few things like a new way to create realistic dragon skins and fiddling with the Sculpt Tool in Blender3D. Things are taking shape now. Hopefully soon the first game dragon is fully finished with all the bells and whistles


Gift Art / Requests

I still have requests dangling around but with my tight time schedule I'm afraid I can't spend the time. I'll put those on hold until I get some free time. Sorry for those involved but the day has only fucking 24 hours sleeping included ( which unfortunately I do a lot these days... I'm somehow knacked )


Future Projects ( Fun-Projos )

Somehow I always had my plans on what I wanted to model but never go the time. Still for some of those fun-projects I collected already the needed reference images and once I can slack off a bit from my rather busy real life I will try to get those guys done. Most of the characters or creatures I somehow stumble across on television or on the world-wide-waste. So if you are a fan boy of one or the other please don't go after me. Of most of the stuff here I have nearly no knowledge except some pictures which stung my eyes. At other places though I know what I speak off so don't try to find that out, ok? I have chosen those characters either because I like them or because I see some challenge in doing them. So here for the list in no particular order.

* Dekalt Dragon ( zoid... damn I found hilarious reference images! )
* King Ghidorah ( original godzilla movies )
* Godjira ( original godzilla movies )
* Rodan ( original godzilla movies )
* Imperialdramon ( digimon )
* Aeroveedramon ( digimon )
* Charizard ( pokemon )

* Renamon ( digimon ) => Done

Once I get one of those done they'll end up here.



People somehow related to the Epsylon Project

This section devotes to people who showed interest in taking part in the Epsylon Game Projector that are already part of it or are otherwise affiliated with the project. Many thanks for the interest in contributing work at this place. The world needs more people doing something to share and building together a great project and not simply sitting egoistically on their work. I started this project as community project instead of yet another commercial project and it did already attract a couple of people and interest which I did not think at the beginning. to the helpers in the background who make this all possible.

~Grogdon ==> Retired Member: Concept Artist
~FoxDF ==> Affiliate: Has his own Mod-Project. Have a look at it.

There are still jobs open. Currently we are in need of people able to Skin 3D Models and/or creating World Textures (things like urban textures, nature textures, technical textures). If you are interested just send me a Note. Also Mappers and Animators are welcome. Working with Blender3D is not a must but warmly recommended.

The Good People

I always hatted those icon collections of good people as it somehow puts the 'bad' stamp on all the other people that know you. Still some people really stand out of the mass that floods DA on a daily basis and as I have been mentioned on other peoples lists already I think it is just fair to give some credit back. If you are missing on the list and think you really belong here send me a Note so I can add you.

~FoxDF ==> Nice guy to talk with. Is engaged in a Game-Dev project too.
~Grogdon ==> Besides doing concept art for the Epsylon Project he leads his own Mod-Project.
`Windy999 ==> Besides producing really nice Beasty-Series he devotes to promote Backyard Trees. This deserves to be mentioned especially.



Clubs

Major reason for this journal entry to place credits to the clubs I am in. Just a shame DA ruins all with their fucking stupid limitations. Here it goes in no particular order.
