Watchers

I've been a zombie fan for a long long time.  Movies were my only source of material and I own just about every zombie film ever made, even the horrible ones.  

Now that its starting to get popular, I'm seeing games, movies, tv shows and book come out and it makes me happy.  

I've always been fascinated with anything zombie.  Romero is the godfather of the zombie genre, the way he threw in his political point and showed how humans were the actual bad guys in the zombie takeover.  Now as the times change, they take what Romero started and enhance it to zombie terrifying goodness.  With the Dawn of the Dead remake, that right there showed that they can take an idea and evolve it to still be scary.  

Now we have season 2 of The Walking Dead coming out, which btw I am a HUGE fan of the comic.   News of a Walking Dead game being made, then Dead Island being made, and instant talks about a movie before the game is even being made.  Love it.


On to boring news about me.

My life has been hectic.   Moving into our own place, planning a marriage, working, working and more working.  I never really have time to do anything artistic anymore.  2 hours a day at most, of free-time just doesn't cut it.  In the world of animation and 3D modeling, you have to know someone who knows someone.  I safely don't know anyone in the business so I can't get that one break for someone to even notice my work.  But, I'll continue to do what I do.  Go back to school eventually.  Try to further my career in the business.  etc etc etc.

I love what I do.  It may not be the best in the world, but I'm damn proud of what I accomplish.

Future news on my art, I am still making characters.  Put spaceships on the side burner for now.  ATM I am working on predator/alien characters, so I am kinda excited to pull more of those out.

Greetings Mike, may I have your permission to use your renderings of the Stargate X-303 (Prometheus Class) and Daedalus Class orthos for future Stargate vessel datasheets? Both of these are on your file "Size Chart", so I would use these. You will get the full credit for the rederings. :-)

Thanks

As long as credit is given for each picture used, it would be fine.
