So... videogames.

I think my whole last year was a complete rollercoaster ride. I don't think I've worked so hard in my life. 
The games I worked on were incredibly different and jumping between polar opposite visual styles. Was like doing 
paint-yoga for 12 months non-stop. 

So where am I now after it's all shipped and on sale?
Feeling very proud because Resogun really is fantastic
and when playing it I can feel all the love we put into it's game design and 
aesthetics. 

Also I'm dead tired... and kind of lost. 

 I spent so much time focused on achieving the goals I set for myself at work that now that I achieved
them there's suddenly this big void of nothing. I think I work pretty well under pressure but when I'm not
"driven" by a goal that I feel passionate about like that I unravel like toilet paper in the wind.

Yes the obvious thing is to focus on next games. However I feel like I  kind of need more substance in my life.
I just have no idea what that might be so my plan is to:

A) give myself a bit time off to just be for once, maybe even reconnect with people I haven't seen in ages
B) explore things I could do with my art.

I feel like doing a small visual project would be fun at this point. When creating a whole world for a game 
you can feel a bit hollow afterwards because it's probably 2 to 3 years of your life that you've spent in a completely
fictional space. Doing something smaller right now would probably feel like less risky for my soul.  
It needs to mend before it can give again. =)

Winner(s) of the free prints have been raffled and they will be announced later this week.
I hope you all have your DA account address settings up to date.



I just HAD to write this journal to let you all know OUTLAND has been nominated for best graphics on ign.com!!!



Not only that but check out the competition!!

www.ign.com/wikis/best-of-2011…

The design of Outland's visual look was a lot (and I do mean A LOT) of hard work so seeing the game up there with the giants of the industry is no doubt
one of the absolute highlights of my career.

I'm writing this journal from work and my desks are still buried under the thousands of ink-drawings I drew for this game.

My 200 000 pageviews in this gallery is approaching and I wanted to thank your constant support by giving away some FREE stuff!

To decide exactly who gets what I had a bit of trouble deciding that since I don't want to give people stuff that they don't want.

Therefore the only requirement that's needed to participate in this compo is to have something from my store in your wish-list. Be it a canvas print, mug or a simple magnet all equally eligible to win the mentioned print, puzzle or thing.

YOU HAVE TO ANNOUNCE IN THIS JOURNAL'S COMMENTS THAT YOU'RE TAKING PART IN THE COMPETITION!!!!!!

Otherwise it will be impossible for me to see that you have anything on your wish-list!


I might end up fulfilling multiple wishes because I have plenty of moolah in my DA account.

Consider this as a group-hug between me and all of you awesome guys. I can't think of any better way to say that I love you all. (at least the kind  that doesn't involve contraceptives!)

The compo will run until mid December so it'll be a Xmas present as well. =)

Consider yourselves loved! :hug:

Here's some products to get you started and don't forget to mention the wish here in this journal:

Echo of a Lost Memory by angrymikko Explorer's Heart by angrymikko Acid Tracks by angrymikko One More Day by angrymikko(<--looks amazing as a print because it's hand painted media, just sayin'!) Bunny Heaven by angrymikko Village of the Bridge by angrymikko
