I heard it said that the opposite of play isn’t work – the opposite of play is depression. I think there’s a lot of truth to it, too. People seem to have been playing ever since they became people – and probably before that, too, seeing as many animals display…
This piece is actually not for the webcomic. I know, weird. The other day I read Character Strengths and Virtues by Christopher Peterson and Martin Seligman and felt like creating some allegories. And summer is nearly here, anyway. Time for something green! I’m not yet sure if I’m going to…
It was Sunday, it was St.Patrick’s Day, and I was tired of evening interiors and twilight mountains. I also came across Monet’s “Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies”. And, well… It’s not exactly the same bridge, or the same pond, and definitely not the same trees, but I think…
I finally finished designing the “year’s round” – the most common way of representing a calendar year on the Uncharred. Year Asunder 1682 is when the webcomic’s story line takes off, which is why the calendars are all for that year. I figured there’s no way the marshal or the…
There’s an interesting concept in Japanese philosophy, kintsugi. Well, it’s actually an art of restoring broken pottery which at its core has the idea that if, say, you broke a cup, you can can glue it back together, but you can’t really hide the cracks. So, instead, let’s add some…
I’ve been very quiet all January. I apologize. I’ve been extremely busy with school – I’m approaching the end of my studies and working on the final project. On the bright side, this project happens to be Prince Meled’s study in the Shelisk Citadel 🙂 The project itself will be…
Marshal Deguisay (of the Halcian Republic) and bana-Ivolga (of the Bereghin Realm) are ushering in a year of joy, peace and prosperity. Happy New Year, everyone!
This is a scene for the webcomic that isn’t happening anymore due to plot alterations. I originally created this scene a while ago (way before I knew what I was doing) in Blender Internal renderer. Now I’ve converted it into Cycles for the sake of adding it to my portfolio….
The two characters had been standing with arms crossed, and then heard Very Unexpected News. This is the reaction shot which I feel worked out, so I’ll just leave it here to be proud of. Or possibly to be ashamed of, a few years down the line. The (yet missing)…
I might yet change the logo. And do something with the sword so it looks less like a lightsaber. But otherwise this should be quite close to the final version. Sooo excited 🙂
