Took some time off of modeling to do some renders, haven't done much of that lately as modeling is taking up a lot of time. My renders have been utilizing some work from some of the talented space artists here on DA, and do to them I have been doing some nice pieces. I want to thank them for their help and hope to work with more of the truely talented in the near future.

...... I have been away for some time... amazing how work just takes up all your free time....
That saying is so definately true.. I have come back from time to time to check some art and move on, I want to appologize to you all tho I may have not commented on your most awesome art pieces I have definately seen them.
Most of my time has been spent redesigning my website and building one for my wife, I got 2 new clients and a few clients for web site upgrades, so i think I will be busy for a while. Anyway I will stop in to spy on you every once in a while maybe even one day post something again.
Peace

Well,... I have been planning the building of Rivendell for a few weeks...
I seem to be running into art issues ... purely do to a lack of vision on my part... The screen shot I want to do is from the fist movie 'The Fellowship'. If you have the dvd the screen shot is 1.25:9522.. exactly.. give or take a frame. Anyway my difficulty is in making the terrain... I find without proper imagery, I can't build a more preciece setting.. (guestmating) seems to be all I have at my disposal. I have seen all the images the interent can provide... trust me... does anybody know Pete Jackson..? anyway I just wanted to give an update.. I am down, but I am not out... I will build this scene... It may not be exact... but it will be close...

I was watching L.O.T.R. V 1 and 2, gearing up to see the 3rd movie tonight, and I decided that I want to do a render of Rivendell...
This is going to be a large project I can feel it .... I think it is going to be polygon intensive .... wish me luck...

So I drive from Montreal to Stowe Vermont, to see a friend and to get fingerprinted.... yes I said fingerprinted... in order for me to be a permenent resident in Canada I need to have a background check done by the FBI...
The process of fingerprinting cost 15 bucks U.S. payable to the police...
Here begins the Ironic adventure....
I went to the bank to change my canadian money to U.S.... This money was originally U.S. and converted to canadian...Hmmm .. so now with my newly reconverted US money I paid the Stowe police department to fingerprint me so that I can inevitably make more Canadian money.... but the kicker was leaving the police station.. I turned and thanked the cops for fingerprinting me....
HHHmmm, I remember when I use to hate that...
