For a sketch challenge on LegionInk. MLP cross a superhero of your choice. Spiderman was a natural choice, being a firm favourite since before I could actually read comics :P

Why yes, you’ve found the Clash devblog.

Clash is an old-school inspired onslaught simulator. A throwback to the side-scrolling glory of the beat ‘em ups of the the 80’s and early 90’s. In the nostalgic vein of Golden Axe, Double Dragon, Final Fight, Dungeons and Dragons, and Streets of Rage,…

I’m doing 3D work for this project! Be sure to follow the blog for some old school sidescroll-y awesomeness, as well as behind the scenes for the game as it’s developed!

Joburg We Are One Colour Festival! Fun Times!

THERE WAS A SHARPIE STAND AT HOBBY X IN JOHANNESBURG TODAY. I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE EXCITED FOR STATIONERY. AND I GET VERY EXCITED OVER STATIONERY.

So these were some of my favourite goodies that came in the bag for spending more than R200 at the stand. I barely drink coffee and I love this mug!

They also let me draw on the wall at the stand, that was fun :D

Bonus points for faking Instagram in Photoshop?

Do you ever just wanna…

I do this as a reaction to embarrassment more than I’d care to admit.

Should I change my deviantArt name from the somewhat juvenile “timmiboi” to something similar to my Tumblr/Twitter? TimmehJimmeh?

Customisable iPhone cover for my mom as a Christmas present last year!

Griffin iPhone 4/4s case and the image is pencil, colour and layout done in Photoshop, printed and custom cut out of photo paper.

This is the reason violins were made.

It’s also amongst the reasons I want to actually learn violin.

Awesome artwork over on dA I had to share! Life of Pi Without VFX by Cryptid-Creations

The green avatars represent the green-screen, a key tool in visual effects moviemaking.

Changing your avatar to a green-screen represents solidarity with the computer graphics industry which is currently being plagued by bankruptcy and layoffs (like what happened to me last week ORZ…): Digital Domain, Sony Entertainment, DreamWorks Animation, Pixomondo, Zynga, and more.

The “greenscreen movement” is largely prompted by bankruptcy of Rhythm and Hues, the company responsible for two Oscar-nominated movies this year: Snow White and the Huntsman and Life of Pi. Just weeks before the ceremonies, much of their staff (the people that made those movie!) got laid off - many of those workers picketed outside the Academy on Oscar’s night.  Insult was added to injury when Life of Pi won an Oscar for ‘Best Visual Effects’ and the winner’s acceptance speech was cut short as soon as he mentioned the financial issues at R&H (it may not have been intentional, but it still read terribly!).

VFX is highly competitive.  When a studio wants to make a movie, VFX houses name a price they can do the work for.  Obviously, studios want lower prices and faster work, so VFX houses frequently under-bid each other and ask for unreasonable workdays.  Studios thus get more demanding and drive prices into unsustainable territories.  In addition, some areas provide subsidies for local VFX work - up to 30%! - meaning studios only have to pay for 70% of the movie.  Taxpayers cover the rest.  So globally, it’s an uneven playing field.  California doesn’t give subsidies, so established Hollywood houses are losing bids that were already too low to begin with.  This Reddit post does an amazing job explaining the situation.

While layoffs are familiar in project-based industry, this is a LOT in just a few months, and it brings an unhealthy business model to public light.  I encourage you - if you want to work in this field or simply enjoy VFX movies - to research and appreciate the work that goes into them - and maybe we can collectively hope for change.
