Bruno and Ruth of SwanQuake

It's going to be an exciting week!

Bruno and Ruth from Igloo are coming in to pass on their expertise through workshops / demos / critiques. Check out http://www.igloo.org.uk/

These 2 are the artists behind their some very interesting environments, treating the 3d space as a performance area and flipping the preconceptions of games on their head. Their most recent work; Swan Quake has elements of motion capture dance within its level.

We get a chance to try out motion capture equipment and have a crash course in unreal modding. Should be very exciting!

We started investigating Android SDK and worked out the basic tutorial apps. This is still in the works, but our lack of programming expertise is greatly slowing us down. Gota take my hat of to the other 3 guys here, they have all secured Games Tester jobs at TTG...

Oh yeah, Nudybronque

A few months ago, I did a little sketch, scanned it and painted it: Then, a band called Nudybronque approached me about using it as the EP cover. Naturally I was thrilled and said yes. They have another CD out soon, so have asked me for another piece of the same 'charater' that the fans have started calling 'Nudy'. Here is a work in progress: The rear is (hopefully) going to be the view from inside the fridge looking out at the Nudy.
