Anyways, I got some collabs in the works, won't be done for a while. Also some digital paintings I never got around to.

I can't wait to get back into art mode, there so much I wanna make.

Just out of curiosity, how many of you actually do this for a living? Graphic artists with there own business or know someone, if you could give me some tips that would be awesome

So, yeah, I'm still here. If you still watch me please leave a comment Just wanna see how many ppl still actually keep up with my work. Thanks.

My job is very physical, so when I get off work, I'm usually dead tired. I take Tifa (our dog) out for 5-10 mins, come back in, get something to eat and than relax on the computer for a little bit. I usually browse DA to see if theres any new art from my watch list, check messages, than check my email.

Depending if I got work from my other job, the rest of the short night is mine. Thats my xbox 360 time. My relax on the couch and be a lazy ass, time. My I don't care if I stayed up playing Call of Duty 4 for 4 hours time because I deserve it.

If you actually read this, thank you, and I'm very interested to see how everyone else unwinds.

**Also** I'm looking to do some collabs over the fallowing weeks, if anyone is interested please let me know. Thanks

Ok. Now back to the subject. If you have a 360, love rpgs, sci-fi, and a awesome story line. This is a must play. It's been a while since I've gotten into a game as much as Mass Effect. Theres just so much to it and the graphics are amazing.

So, you can expect to see some sci-fi themed art, some painted (really getting into it even tho i sook), and maybe a different style of abstract.

If anyone even reads this get MASS EFFECT and check out SUNSHINE.

I haven't been very active over the long course of my DA life. I've been on and off with my art, changed my variety of styles, but I do plan on creating more of the stuff I use to. So keep an eye out and if you would like to collab with me to keep my photoshop skills sharp, id love to try out new renders, and progressing.

A lot has happened since I started this account on DA, I've met a lot of great people, learned from some of the best abstract artists out there, and progressed quite a bit. I can honestly say me staying active with my art, especially here on da, where I tried really hard to progress, has landed me my first graphic design job. I currently work for Xfire.com, a great start for a noob, and I hope, if your interested in the field to keep at it. You never know when you'll land a job.

Finally, I'd like to mention that I might be a father, me and Christine are pretty confident she's pregnant, so we might have good news soon. I can't believe some of the amazing stuff thats been happening to me in the past couple of years, met the love of my life, got married to the love of my life, and now we might be bringing a new life into this world. It's exciting, frightening, but yet I can't wait.

So, I hope this is a good year for all of you, be safe, thanks for all the awesome support, and have a happy new year!

I can't get over how amazing the graphics are, every game I've played so far is simply amazing. It's insane how far video games have come and I can't wait to be amazed even more. If anyone wants to add my xbox live id its DeviantDCH - I'll probably be playing Halo 3 online.

Halo 3 - Short campaign mode but still the amazing game play you would expect from Bungie, and then some.

9/10

Assassin's Creed - Despite the annoying 10-16 on 1 fights (they're mostly at the end) combat is a blast, overall controls are very sharp, only gripe is the confusing ending and the crazy fights at the end.

8.5/10

Gears Of War - Everyone says this is one of the most graphically rich games out for the 360, and it is. Every where I looked in this game I was in awe with all the rich textures and details. The game plays a lot more differently than the traditional FPS type games, and thats perfectly fine with me because it was a blast. Lack of story almost ruined it for me at certain points but the amazingly fun game play almost made me forget. A must play just like the other 2 games in my opinion.

9/10

Dance Dance Revolution - First time ever playing a game like this, takes a while to get over the awkwardness of stepping here and there but in the end its a really fun party game, just be prepared to sweat at higher difficulty levels.

8/10

thanks for reading and if you have any suggestions for other games for me to try please list them, thank you

We just recently got an Xbox 360, lack of Wii consoles, I didn't feel like waiting a year to get one.

The picture quality is amazing, I can't stop going OMG that looks so damn awesome, its hard not being entranced by all the beautiful graphics on the 360. Who knows maybe I'll get more motivated to get some work done on personal art pieces.

Other than that work and more work keeps me busy but with the 360 and this amazing new tv ( we were on a small small 13 inch tv before lol) I won't be making anything new for a while

Hope everyone is doing well and be safe!

My website will contain my portfolio, have tutorials, free resources, and hopefully a nice community. I've been trying to balance everything out and I just wish I had more time to work on art and my website. To top that all off, I'm getting married to the love of my life in October.

Lets just say my plate is full but thats ok because I'm starving So if you've been watching me for a while now thank you and if you just started hopefully you like what you see. New stuff coming in the end of the month.
