Me and:
INFLUENCES ON ME:
>>Wild Imagination.
AS a child (even now sometimes) I'd always imagine scenes taking place, whether it be off space battles I'd seen on TV or from games, I'd draw everything from them and make my own things for them....
-Battlezone 2: The first good game I'd played, before that I'd only touch educational material. In fact, the game had engrossed me to such an extent I'd go as far to say it was the precursor to all of my Digital Art abilities today, because I began to modify it and even add my own material.
-Google Sketchup: The first 3d program I'd used, my imagination took its course, I had made soo many models in that program, I still look back to them and smile.
-3ds max: The 3d modelling program I'd first used to make new models for Battlezone 2...
-The battlezone 2 community: I'd began to make new friends online...this is when I began learning how to texture, and that of all things grew on me...to such an extent that I'd downloaded photoshop, and that's when it began...I knew from then that if anything I'd be doing for the rest of my life...it would be texturing 3d models.
>Traditional Drawing...
Ever since I was a child I have been obsessed with drawing, when I was 4 I had drawn a 3d house with my family out the front, that was the beginning...each year I'd draw more and more, way back before I'd even consider the computer a tool to be used for art; back when I had no clue what a good computer was, I was the "nerd", I LOVE science and loved it more back then, wanted to be an astronaut...
All through school people would say how good my work was, but for some reason I'd never seen it myself, I had a hunger for detail in my worlds, and no scene was too far fetched in my mind to come to life in the form of drawing.
-YR12 Major Art Project:
The Perspeculum Series in my gallery consists of 4 digital artworks of landscapes, and 4 traditional paintings not uploaded here.
>Digital ART:
I have now my cert II in Creative media, and I'm soon going to get my advanced diploma course started, I want to learn everything I can and put my own spin to it, I think that not everything has a preset or template and that many things shouldn't be treated the same just because they're under the same category...this applies to my way of learning techniques and thinking, I like to be as creative and/or weird as possible...
