Happy Holidays.

Happy Holidays Everyone!!!

New work coming up along with a new timelapse! Thinking about releasing longer in depth tutorials with voiceover. Depends on the demand in the new year. Until then here's a small look at what is working. Have a good time and enjoy your Holidays.

Gumroad

Hey team,

Just felt like writing about my recent dabbles in gum road and passive income generation while I'm trying to finish my degree. Everything is looking good actually.

I figured out how to add gum road's UI to my site. So on some pages, you can actually purchase files and check out using gum road.  Looking to implement some neat little stuff on the page like that.

Also experimenting with various portfolio display methods. If you have any ideas just let me know. Check out the site here.

New Web Address.

So I find out that my domain has been purchased by some company following its expiration ( I forgot to renew it.... my bad) and their kind of just sitting on it in hopes I'll buy it or something IDK... my BFF Jill.

Anywho, I proceeded to work it out with my host that I now own WilbertPierce.XYZ
At first, I was hurt but then in the interim, I became increasingly excited. I'm hoping that the .xyz hosting will further emphasise that I am a 3D professional doing 3D work for games and collectibles.

In 2016, I will be further pushing myself to bigger and bigger projects, clients and a new shiny demo reel.

Official Amazon Affiliate

Today has been a most productive day. I am not a registered affiliate of Amazon and as such will try to keep my stuff relevant. So yea no spamming links and the links I do provide will hopefully only enrich or provide optional resource for anything I post.

Also thinking of adding new programs to my channel on youtube. More details coming, but like a general work review and crit program.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Hope everyone had an amazing night last night. Eating, drinking, being merry. Shopping and elbowing someone's grandma for a sweet deal!

Anywho I drank, I ate, I....drank some more... No seriously it got real. Ever hit that point in drinking where everything is just that much better!!! I'm playing DJ, playing Cards Against Humanity and working on some sick new figures coming out for a couple of clients and I'm loving it.

However Captain Morgan, 3D and too much food don't mix so yea... Still had fun. So enjoy this video while I crank out some more art:

Playing catch up

                      Have you ever been so engrossed in one aspect of your profession that you box yourself into a niche unintentionally. I've been hashing it out in my head, how much I'd like to try my hand at applying to game studios and the problem is actually that while I have the skills I don't necessarily have a portfolio catered to that aspect of my 3D work. I have been doing toys and collectibles, which is great but I doesn't really show that I can do much more than just sculpt. How does one find the time to explore new venues without taking a hit to income?

A lot of new work.

Very excited. Finished up a recent miniatures job and got an even bigger one in return. The opportunities are huge lately. I don't even know who to thank. As soon as I can I'll share images of the last job. For now all I can say is Marvel.

Let's Talk Pluralsight.

So this is in no way advertising... well I guess it is. I mean I'm not getting paid to do it. It'd be cool if I was but eh...

Anywho onto the meat and potatoes. I'm not sure if Pluralsight is partnered with or bought out Digital Tutors but they are together now and It's pretty cool. I have been juggling getting a digital tutors subscription as of late so it's cool to see there are even more options. One thing I've discovered in my browsing is the amount of free pro written articles. They are publically assessible even if you don't have a subscription and they offer a good amount of quality reading for various topics.

Even my wife listened in on a few as I read some covering Steam Asset Creation and avoiding work burnout.

Anyway I'm going to read a few more pages of content. I'll share any I find particularly striking.

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver Raziel Fan Art Progress

So the Retrogasm Art Competition went up on facebook. Link to the contest here -----> https://www.facebook.com/groups/RetrogasmArtCompetition/

. ith some epic prizes. I decided to join in with a game from my PS1 days. Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver. I was nostalgically remembering the Playstation demo discs when I chose Raziel.

Here is the first sketch pass on the vampiric wraith himself. Roughed out the areas.

More coming soon.
