Kept you waiting, uh? For some reason I keep having the feeling I should update these, for me to keep track of myself if anything else, ahah!

Quite briefly, some key things of whats been happening in the last year: driver's license, finished a course, got into a Design degree at IADE, special someone. Valleys do lead to mountains. About damn time things started to turn around too.

Lots of ideas and projects scribbled and sketched down (fan art, original themes, tributes, material studies, etc...) really hoping on getting these developed. I've been working through more traditional methods lately, experimenting with different pens and stuff but I'll probably continue things like the Metal Gods Pantheon digitally, looking forward to that one actually.

Meanwhile, Vagos Open Air this year did not seem so promising and they're repeating a few bands, so I turned my attention to SWR Barroselas (which is a heavier festival to the North of the country). Lots of Black, Death, Thrash and Grind, so it sounds promising! We're also taking a train there, the trip's probably gonna take a while, maybe I'll get some more doodles done by then.

I think that's all for now, cheers!

Small in length, big in events. This year's February is turning out to be quite an important month.

Finishing my current course and driver's license. Soon I'll start looking for a small job until college candidatures begin! I was longing for some progress.

Now, a big deal in gaming. Homeworld Remastered.

When BBI (Black Bird Interactive) was announced containing most of the Relic team members and were working on a spiritual successor to one of my favorite titles ever, I was heart-warmed and relieved by hearing that they threw away the F2P model of the future project; Hardware: Shipbreakers it was. With the consequences of THQ's downfall, Gearbox had some good taste and bought the franchise at an auction. Noticing BBI's efforts and veteran team, Shipbreakers was brought unto the Homeworld universe under Gearbox's light, although put on hold for the revival of the two original titles.

I've been keeping myself from replaying the classics ever since the remasters were announced and after finishing the first one last night, I can say the wait was worth it. Unto the next one!

Still have to try out the Multiplayer though.

We wait for Shipbreakers now, with two beautifully facelift Homeworld games in hand - expecting nothing but the very best. Not licking anyone's boots here, but Gearbox deserves some damn kudos for taking the interest in Relic's masterpiece.

Also, and still relevant, this shows up: www.fistsofheaven.com/
Looks very interesting and the Homeworld love is obvious, which is a big plus ahah! Fists Of Heaven, apparently baptized after a fan-fic of the founder's authorship. Excellent start-off if you ask me, a collector's edition is definitely something I'd like to put my hands on: www.fistsofheaven.com/launch-g…

They're also recruiting contributors, which is an idea I'm digging. I've been pilling up some ship artwork to submit on DA and although enjoying fantasy, space/sci-fi stuff has always been my cup of tea.

Perhaps I could apply?


It has been an interesting month so far guys, see you next time!

Cheers,

Woah, long time no jounal, eh?

How's it going guys?

Man, this school year went by FAST. I'm on my finals, finally! (eh) I hope that this time I finish this for good. I'm feeling way more confident, so that's always comforting. Anyways, if this goes well or south, I'm definitely not going through another year of HS. I don't have the age nor the patience for it anymore. I need some change. New places, new faces, new content, otherwise the monotony gets the best of me. Hopefully I'll blast through this like a boss and get on the college I want.

I've started off my Metal Gods Pantheon Project with Mortis. Quite happy with that one but I can still see room for improvement in the following deities. Unfortunately, I suspect I will have no work done (much less uploaded) until the end of the month due to the final exams.

I'll probably write another entry once this is all over. Even if nobody's listening, contemplating upon my current state and writing about it makes me feels a bit more aware and not lose focus.

I have a feeling this Summer is going to be one to remember...

It's time to ace this thing for good! Wish me luck!

Right. Long time no journal, eh?

Ah, Procrastination. The arch enemy of Human evolution, if I do say so myself. Although it has been an "obstacle" most of the time, lately I've been actually doing some progress. At least color-wise.

Mgb's Archangel game project is still alive and kicking, which is wonderful to witness it taking shape and coming together. I've recently done Jack Havern, and a bunch of merciless Nighthawks are already cookin'!

I've been having a ton of ideas and visions for personal projects but haven't acquired the patience or time to see them through.

I'm still to finish TMATH, which seems something rather unreal to say, but I'll get to it. Eventually...
I'm also looking forward to finishing my Doom Tribute, but with the latest developments and improvements, I might redo it completely so it looks better.


Almost piggy-banked enough for the Ax' now btw, ahah!


I'll probably make another entry soon.
See ya, ghostly crowd (and friends)!
