Ok, so updating.. I have a large number of projects running my brain raw and no funding to support any of them.. I’m hoping not for much longer as there’s one job in particular that’s come up in my search that I’m pretty excited about.. With any luck I’ll hear back from them soon, it’s a position as a Windows Fabricator. Mega long hours but that’s just more funding in my eyes

However I’m making the most of the materials at hand. Today I’ve been through my bags of hoarded scrap metal and have decided to make several props to support future photography projects. These includes some scrap build insects and a life sized mechanical arm. So I’m taking afew influences from the ‘Steampunk’ genre and combining it with afew ideas I’ve had for ages..

I’m also designing a much more basic studio set up that’ll cost a lot less than the original idea and will hopefully give me a better understanding of how the final version will look and function. This will just be for portraiture, with any luck by the end of the month I can start actually building it.

I’ve gotten way behind on the Jericho sketches, though I did pick up the concepts again last night and managed to get a large chunk of Rawlings done. I think that because there was such a lack of interest in Abby it’s put me off considerably from finishing them. Though having a full set might generate afew more views from fans of the game.

Speaking of game fan art, I’ve recently picked up Bioshock again and considering doing afew photography projects based on the Splicers. I still have a face cast from Uni so I’d love to put that to use by making one or two of those ‘new years eve party’ masks. Taken afew stills and am going to consult my Dad on how best to make one. I’m thinking of making them from resin, not too keen on paper mache but if it comes to it than it’ll do.. Owl or fish? Gutted that Uni threw out all my scrap from last year over summer, I had a wrench that was perfect So now I’m looking for replacement tools aswell, wrenches, pipes, hooks, etc. Not a massive fan of guns, plus they’d have to be heavily customized to live up to the games level of detail. Just melee weapons I’m thinking

So everything’s not gone completely to hell since I dropped out of Uni, I still have ambition, surprisingly.. All these projects will be progressing very slowly until I get some backing but shouldn’t be too long before I can post something new up. Just have to persevere in job hunting, I have faith that something has to come along, soon..

Thanks for reading, any thoughts, opinions ideas to expand on mine are welcome
