Well, lived through a hard artblockade but I managed to break through it with my latest wolfenstein project, which will be updated soon.

Other good news, little Raftaspawn now manages to stand on his own feet without help

Got my hands on an original 90's snakeboard.
Going to get my streetboarding skills back to where they've been ten ears ago
and hopefully far beyond that.

Might get a new Streetboard as soon as I'm stable on my snakeboard, but that might take a while

Yeah, so I finally did it, I'm a subscriber now too!
Lot's of cool features in here!

Greetings

--------------------------

Played the "Terminator Salvation" game on my PC, nice piece of entertainment software, solid gameplay and graphics, but the length sucks with only 2.5 hours at medium difficulty level.
Rent it if you have the chance and like Terminators!

I startet with the Colonial Viper, which was a failure in design, in both the new and
the old BSG series.
The description to my pic tells you why.

Next one will be the Raptor, which is -in my opinion- one of the most fugliest ships ever designed.

Posted another iphone WIP, as you might have noticed.

Have a nice week, lads!

Refresh [link] is going to be cleaned up and enhanced with the new tablet.

Also I got a Stylus for my iphone from my sister.
Together with the app "brushes" I can now release the fury of art on my little iphone too.
The iStrogg [link] is the first WIP on it.

Source of this problem seems to be some metabolism illnes in my eyes which stops the proper receptors from working.

Thanks to the inability of seeing proper green I can't tell the difference between familiar colors

This is hereditary (an uncle of mine had it too) and there is a big chance my son will have to handle a color disability too but the doctor said it's far too early to tell.

YEAH RIGHT, I R DADDEH!

My girlfriend gave birth to our little son on the 23rd of November 2008.
The little smurf is called Vincent and came with soem healthy 50 cm of size and 3750 gramms of weight, ideal for Spacemarine recruitment.

There have been some complication after the birth but everything is more than fine now and my son and his mother should be allowed to get back home in the next few days.

Pictures will follow in my gallery!

Update:
There even has been a "professional" photo shooting with this pic resulting -> [link]

I especially want to thank my loyal watchers who are with my since the beginning.

Becaue of the growing audience i thought it might be a good move to enable prints for some of my pics, because some of my Warhammer related pictures have quite a popularity and maybe there are people out there who want to own a physical copy of my pics.
I will slowly add those prints with uploading some high res versions of my pictures.

Stay tuned, I started with one of my first digital pictures ever, done back in 2004 -> [link]

is a third person shooter by THQ which features brutal close-up action in the world of warhammer 40000.
[link] Here's a link to thread on the Relic Forums where you might find videos of EARLY FOOTAGE which shows an assault of Chaos Marines on some Gothic city.
The game comes for the 360 and maybe for PS3 and PC too.
Some more infos here -> [link]

GO FORTH MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND SPREAD THE WORD THAT HIS ANGELS OF VENGEANCE WILL STRIKE UPON THOSE WHO THREATEN MANKIND!

edit: THQ tries to ban all videolinks from the intarwebs, so it might get hard to get a view on them.

I bought Burnout Revenge some days ago for my XBox 360, boy, what an awesome game!

Chrome Hounds is finally mine but it won't arrive until after Christmas. Found it at play.com for a reasonable price.

First I'm going to finish the Lion so the 3d model guy (a friend of mine) can start his work and second I do something I wasn't asked for yet, I'll do a Pre Heresy pic of Typhus when he got first infested.

Added Typhus' pic to the gallery, watch for updates!

Also I got XBox360 Live!
Account name "Raft0r" soon to be Gold member.
You may add me if you want for a game of GRAW, PGR3 or GoW (I finally got it).

I plan to get a KTM Duke 640 until fall 2007. Will do the motocycle driving license comming summer together with my sister.

This link leads to a pic of my desired beauty.

If everything goes as planned I'll make a little tour to the Netherlands to visit some friends with the bike in fall 07.

YAY, WON A XBOX 360!
GEARS OF WAR, HERE I COME!

My life got turned upside down in the recent time. Need to find myself again.
Kudos to my sister and the guys from relicnews who helped me alot

I recently started painting color pictures. It's kinda hard when you're partly color disabled but it's fun. Please don't be confused if you see some green instead of yellow or visa versa. I also started with using different brushes in Painter 9 to bring some more variation into my pics and to enhance their quality. Don't want to get stuck at my current level.
I'm also starting to draw with pencils again, maybe something nice turns out, I'll post it here then.

Relic's "Company of Heroes" is released and I hope the postman brings my copy today. Working on a mod for CoH with some guys. The project is called "Titans over Europe" and features Mechs in an alternate WW2 universe.
Link to our forums is here -> [link] <-

Watch the scraps and maybe soon my gallery for some mech concepts.

thx for visiting my place, stay cool and have a good time
