Portfolio spring cleaning

Currently sorting out stuffs on my 'Portfolio' page. The 'Pages' gadget on blogger is really limited... Maybe I should consider moving everything over when things settle down. Anyway, back to work!

Back to square one

Thoughts of 'needing a solid portfolio as soon as possible', 'needing a job, any kind of job as soon as possible' and 'to stay indie or get a stable day job in a game company' has been running on my mind for the past week. The stress has definitely taken it's toll on me and I was unable to follow through on my plan even though it seems pretty straight forward. I think I should scrap the plan and start back from scratch.

I should update my portfolio and decide how things should proceed from there.

Be back real soon.

Clarity

An old friend said this to me today,

"Your habit is thinking too much when you already know the answer."
It knocked some much needed sense into me. Maybe it's because I am growing old. Maybe I am just confusing myself by making things overly complicated. Or maybe I am just not as passionate as I used to be anymore.

I miss when I was younger and I was always the one being stupidly confident, passionate and clear of how to reach my dream of being a great game developer along with my friends.

I really hope it is not too late to get back on the right track.

Thanks, old friend.

If I can't draw digitally.. by God, I will paint my traditional drawing digitally!

Doodle Dump #1: Sosuke


Let there be colour!

Why?


I have always been curious as to why I can't draw with a Wacom. So, I drew something simple on paper and tried replicating the drawing using a Wacom... and failed. Why am I having this problem? Why?!?!?!?!

Maybe I am not used to not seeing the surface that I am drawing on?

Or maybe I am not able to subtly apply the right amount of pressure on the Wacom?

Or is it because I am unable to gauge my digital work space?

Argh! The frustration!

Restart

Been 22 months since I last updated this blog. Need to stop being a lazy ass and start replaying this 'game' from the beginning again. Here's hoping to not see the next post appearing 22 months from now.
