Interesting news from the work front. My studio (Warthog Texas) is the US branch of Warthog PLC (also based in the UK and Sweden). Warthog PLC's assets (ie. the three studios) have been purchased by Gizmondo Games. Gizmondo is creating a new hand-held gaming device by the same name. So, what does this mean for Fallen Kingdoms and Conquest 2? No news to report about that yet. But definitely interesting times for us. Hopefully, everything works out for the best.

Book Update: It's done! Well, almost. The first draft of the book has been written. Now it's just a matter of getting through the editing and layout process.

Great news! My book is available for pre-order! You can find it at Amazon HERE. The cover shown is a preliminary version, so it's not the final cover.

Kinda funny to see it available for pre-order already as I still have 2 more chapters to write. :)

Cool news, my studio's website has been updated with employee profiles, including myself. :) Check it out HERE.

Wow, today, lots of info regarding many of the games my studio Warthog is developing has been made public! Check out the news site Game Asylum for the scoop!

New comic. ;)

The book is coming along very well! I'm about half way done, which is very cool, as it's really becoming a real book. Obviously I'm very excited! If everything continues as planned, the book should be available in December. You bet I'll be letting you folks know and you'll definitely find a link to ordering the book when it's done here. :)

New article! "Should I go to school?"

Big news! I'm going to write a Maya book! Details to come. :)

3D Gallery has been pruned and updated. Hopefully, I'll be able to show some of the work I've been doing at the office for the last year soon.

02-15-04
Artist Bio has been updated for those who care. ;)

Holy cow! Apparantly, an old studio I used to work at (Walrus Corp) lost their domain, and it became some porn site! My apologies to anyone who might have clicked that link unawares, as I assure you, I had no idea! The link has been removed.

Happy Groundhog Day. :)

Oh, wait, that's not what today's big news is... NEW TUTORIAL!

New video going over the rarely spoken about Animated Snapshot. This video is in Quicktime format. Let me know if you prefer this. One downside, though, is much larger file sizes, which could limit my use of the format. This tutorial is in the Animation section, although it can also be used as a modeling tool.

There was an blurb about my studio in the Austin Business Journal! Click HERE and HERE to check it out.

I decided to get rid of the splash page. I think it was just tacky and pretty much only served to delay you from actually entering the site to begin with.

New comic!

Until next time....
