Oh Hi there!
Just a quick update to let ya'll know i'm still alive hehe, i tend to disappear sometimes, bad habbit...i know..

Been screwing around art wise...not a great time, been a little out of inspiration lately, maybe because of the boring landscape/weather in this time of year. I'm moving to a new studio space next week, been very busy with that. And i discovered Zbrush, which is friggin' cool! Below you can see, WIP, my first thingy, don't think i finish it though...just testing some things. Anyway, i'll keep this blog alive from now on.
