I’ve been waiting for Julius over at Paper Replika so that I can release yet another paper model double-header. Julius’ Tinker Bell is designed after the modern CGI Tink.

Alternatively, Uhu02 released his version of Tink (more of an anime look) as a thank-you to the world’s response to last year’s Japan disaster.

I had a triple Tron whammy for you today, but one of the websites no longer exists. Pitty. I guess you’ll just have to settle for Tektonten’s two Tron: Legacy identity discs.

After much thought, I’ve decided to swallow my pride and finally sell advertising spots. This is a big step: I always said that I would not bog the site down with ads. But, I’ve come to realize that it’s not only necessary, but can be very advantages. With enough advertisers, I could start having regular monthly giveaways. One thing I’ve always wanted to give out are Disneyland passes.

Ad sizes, placement, and number of advertisers are limited to help keep things from getting out of hand. If you’re interested, please contact me for details.

. . . it’s another. January has been very interesting.

I started off working on a package designs for a client who will be pitching an oh-so-cool toy to Disney soon. What started out as a series of 2-D box-fronts quickly turned into full-blown CG renders (at no request of the client, mind you). And, that led to to teaching myself how to texture objects in Blender. To escalate matters, there were no good high-res images of the existing toy that I could use on the packaging art, so I took it upon myself to both design and render that in 3-D, too! It took two solid weeks of work with no days off to get everything learned and rendered. In the end, it was worth the effort and newly-gained knowledge.

Next, I shifted my focus to working on Nava Designs. There’s a new Etsy store, and a Twitter feed. In the coming weeks (hopefully), I will be adding some unique items to the store. It’s been exhausting, but the items are fun, and the artwork is way cool!

So, that’s why I haven’t been around last month.

Time is flying by again, so we’re long-overdue for something new. I feel so guilty, I’m giving each and every one of you unlimited FREE cheese pizzas! Visit Tektonten to claim them.
