My Bio
Ugh... about myself?? ill tell you a little about my history of drawing

Ive drawing ever since about 7 years old... ove course never drew serious then... still dont draw too serious now. at about age 10, when I changed to middle school I pretty much stopped drawing for that whole year, except for the odd 1 or 2 drawings. Then the year after at age 12 I experimented with my first line drawings... Thats where the Tauren came from..(scotma.deviantart.com/art/Taur…). I never really finished it untill about age 13, where I began high school and started to understand shading/depth a bit more.

After that, my memories a bit fuzzy but i know there was a point in time where i didnt really do any drawing for about near 2 (age 14 - 15) years! I blame lack of inspiration/modivation and probably I was getting my spare time taken up by girls by then xD

Then i got back into line drawing again and drew the skeletons on a WC3 Poster )scotma.deviantart.com/art/Warc…) From there I guess I had a year of very casual drawing in July 2008 i joined up on DA, posted a few of my arts then never really loged on again untill now. From 2008 to 2009 saw my shift from pencil line art, into Fine line art with black pens. I never really heard or saw examples of the style before, still havent seen other people do it like me. Still trying to find "My Style" tho.

2009 I moved to Austraila from New Zealand and joined in a course doing 3D modeling, drawing etcetc... This motivated me to start drawing properly again. And dear Vixin saw to it that I started using DA again and here we are now :)

--UPDATE--
Its now 2013, Since then I have been mostly off deviant art. Tried my hand at architectural modelling, enjoyed it enough, but was never seriously into it. Now not modelling at all. Got back into photoshop and now am playing around with inking. It first started as fan art, but now character concept designs, Creating characters for games or manga, anything to get my skill up. Thinking this is what I will do for atleast a little bit now. Will catch you on the next update.

So... no journal entries since 2010 - Wow im slack Currently, my good work computer has died :( so now im on my VERY old laptop until I buy a new computer (Intel i5, 8gb RAM, Graphics card - ATI HD 7750. for anyone who is interested) And until I get this, all work will be stopped. Hopefully I will get the computer in 2 weeks. THEN - I have 1 character concept to finish, about 3 one piece drawings to finish and then I will proceed to Re-Draw ALL my old drawings that I see fit to redraw. Including comparison to the old ones. :). Hopefully seeing how much I have improved will give me new motivation for... something. Thanks to those who follow

So, im not going on DA as often as I have been or should have. I feel as tho my work as of late has not met good enough standard to even be posted... allthough some say its best to just post anything just to keep yourself active. Currently, slowly working my way through Vid Tutorials of UDK (Unreal Development Kit) in hopes to start making games and not have my models stay untextured and unused. I really need to learn how to texture PROPERLY... ive seen some of the most basic of models turn out looking so good with the application of a decent texture. Well thats all realy... learning a game engine so I can start on a big project (big for me

yay xD shame i dont know who gave me the 2000th page view but thankyou very much! currently working on a game all by my lonesome, no intention of finishing it, just doing it because the theme of the game will have me modelling lots of things that i want to xD... and it will help me attcually unwrap and texture them!, still contemplating doing normal maps with the models... its a top down diablo style game so they most likely dont need them, but it would be good modelling experience no doubt. anyone with some experience: Do you have to normal map everything in a game?, or just the main assets? and does a game NEED normal maps?

Thank you for joining my group. Do you have a preference of what you would like to do?
I like doing line art of pokemon on photoshop. If someone has a sketch and wants it all lined up I can do that :). Here is an example;
