Well I'm alive atleast! That has to count for something Just have not had the motivation to draw recently but it'll come! I'm not dead! Sooner or later I will publish something~ish

I've been occupied so much recently that I have not had the time to work or do something that I do for fun, drawing something just for the sake or it. I've been swamped with work finalizing some Webprojects and stuff which has caused me to stay away from Deviantart among other things, combine that with school and social life and you got an occupied little fellah. Speaking of school we've had the opportunity to meet some really awsome people in our industry the past few weeks such as a from North Kingdom and Daniele Latini which was awsome. We've had more people aswell thats been amazing and very inspiring. Due to new courses in school I've had the chance to start drawing more recently which is awsome. I'm currently building on the Phobos series, making it into an iteractive Flash Series which is going to be awsome if I play my cards right. So far I'm very satisfied with the result I've come up with so far.

I'm also on the side of School involved with 3 independent web related jobs aswell, only on the coding side at the moment which saves me alot of time since I dont have to make the layouts or try to get them approved by the customers. Once they are done I'm going to finalize my portfolio page that I've been putting on hold for ages due to way to much work Not to mention that my PS3 has arrived recently, and I might have bought a few to many games considering all time I can spare end up in Modern Warfare II, Metal Gear Solid 4 or Infamous or Bionic Commando or... Well you get the point.

I haven't been updating much at all, I've been swamped S - W - A - M - P - E - D... With school assignments before the exhebition the 28th. Today I drew the last stroke with my brush on the final piece... They're done. And I'm so tired... Almost feels a bit wierd to be done with so much work put together...

Either way, as some of you saw I've added five pictures with a common theme, Phobos. What is it? Where did the idea come from? What do I plan to do with them?


I got the idea of Phobos when I was playing Ragnarök Online, I saw a very cute monster called Worm Tail, then I saw a Petite... Then I tought of a cartoon I saw alot when I was little called "Mumintrollen", I also tought of the Moggle's in Final Fantasy 6 and lastly the fish with a tentacle with a light on them. After scribbling it down a bit on a paper when waiting to restore some SP on my Rogue, I came up with a little idea. One thing lead to another and I had myself a concept!

The story behind them as a race and their place in the universe has not fully been written but it will, I got about 10 pages saved with scribbled background stories and such to cover them and their role. Perhaps a bit more aswell! I'm very excited to work on this hobby project. Because I feel it's my own original creation from scratch and it feels like it's typical me aswell without feeling boring either!

The future of the Phobos has big plans, I'm going to create a little Graphic Novel on a flash page with music and illustrations... I might make a flash game one day aswell, got a very sick idea for that.
In the end, I hope people like what they see in my Phobos series of illustrations, pictures, drawings and such. The goal is to share some joy, with theese little cute creatures. I hope you enjoy them asmuch as I enjoy making them!

I have not updated my dA for quite some time now, infact I haven't updated it with something new in ages, hell I've even been slacking with finalizing some of my scraps thats' been on hold for way to long such as "Above" among others. But! All is not lost or in vain! I've been hard at "work" trying to learn some new tricks here and there and I'm getting there, I created a nifty way to work arround some issues I've always been having when drawing in PS or Illustrator and I hope I can show some of that soon. One of the projects I've been working on is well, a little more than just one image but rather a series of images that I'm going to publish at some point. It's about six pictures long and I even created a back story to them to make them more personalized and tought out a bit. Still just rough drafts scribbled down on paper and a few "test tries" to see how it feels. So far, It's not quite there yet.

The other things I've been working on is some Webb related things which isn't worth talking about right now and I've also tried to learn on how to add shadow and lightning proberly to my images, trying to vizualise the light source in ones head is damn much harder than I tought it would be and I think I need to learn how to draw it out somewhat so I can think out the lightning a little easier, not that I've published anything with much of that before, but hell. It's about time I started thinking about it a little more than pushing it aside, School is starting this week aswell! Tuesday is the first scheduled lection in Webbprogramming, lots of PHP, MySQL and CSS. I like quite excited for the lection on Friday (I think) that's going to tackle some sketch classes. Exciting year ahead, indeed and I hope it brings me alot of new knowledge in the future.

Yes I've been watching Hard Gay recently (google him or youtube him if you got boring... You won't regret it) hence the wierd "HOOOOOO" Part in the topic. So what's this about then huh? Well I've been damn occupied with positig stuff here and there a few new submissions. Put a shitload of pictures in scraps just cleaning in general

Now, the first "me me me" is well just an experiment. I like the final outcome... I hope someone else might enjoy it aswell... The second is actually a work in progress piece. It's the ship. I'm hoing to get as much feedback as possible on it since it's the first time I draw a spaceship or even a real sci fi type of picture. So comment it with ideas, suggestion, feedback and all I know it's not a masterpiece so don't be afraid to tell the truth according to you
