Well, after a whole 3 years after not touching my deviant art page, today marks the day I start paying more attention to it and engulf myself in what is deviant art. No longer restricted to what is now a full blown involvement with what is now called 'SWR Productions', a mod team which I co-created with the help of some great friends I've met along the way.

So I'm not even sure if anyone will read this, but regardless I want my thoughts at my current state of my life to be at least inputed somewhere in the internet, leave something behind even though I partake in everyday life and get involved with friends and all. No I am not what some call 'emo' or have any sort of problem, but rather a thinker of whats to come into my life.

In short, I've been progressing slowly in college and I'm finally coming closer to my graduation and achieving part of my lifelong dream - being involved in the games industry - and attaining my Associates in Interactive Simulation and Game Technology. My skill set, as you will hopefully see whenever I upload my work, ranges from drawing/sketching, 3D modeling, 2D art design, texture work, and level design. I will make sure that I no longer neglect this wonderful piece of the internet any longer as I feel that my work has been 'unsatisfactory' for me, but from what others have shown and have said, it is not that. It's not amazing but I think I may hold my own.

Now to be more specific. For the past few years I've always been tinkering with free game creating software. RPG Maker, Game Maker and other game engine editors. I am no coder but I've at least reverse engineered a bit of scripting and code so I could get what I want out of what I want to see from my ideas. I never finished any of these projects sadly, as time passed by I moved on to bigger things. Oh and so I did.

I eventually got involved in game modding by sheer luck. After playing the game 'CnC Generals' and getting it's expansion 'Zero Hour', I felt the need of more, leading me to the mod called "Rise of the Reds". I looked around it's forum and eventually put my word out on design ideas and eventually placed some drawings there. Half a year later in that mod's development and during that time period I became part of the staff team as concept artist and released the mod in Jan 1'st 2005. It was a great success but the mod team itself slowly faded away and my great friend Grazor, who had allowed me in the team too faded out of existence.

During that time however, I met who is now a great friend, The_Hunter, or Andre as I should say, who introduced me to the mod 'Shockwave'. It was through here that I transfered over to the mod team and led to my development of more skills. 3D Modeling, UV Wrapping and Texturing was now in my grasp, and out of pure crazy ideals and luck , with the grown team of Shockwave we decided to revive my first project - Rise of the Reds - who I now took a role as a Co-Project Lead. In a matter of a year later, we became an entity known as SWR-Productions and released Rise of the Reds SWR Edition which now stands at a whopping 50,000+ downloads since December 2008! We now plan to finish Rise of the Reds 2.0 and complete Shockwave, two blockbuster mods for Command and Conquer Generals: Zero Hour and are showcased at the official EA Generals Website

Can't say that I saw that coming really. It happened so fast and I've learned so much, which is why that after seeing this time capsule of a profile, I've decided to update it with as much of the work I've done over the years and post my newest stuff. All ranging from sketches, models, levels, screenshots, or any random art I create here on this profile. So yea, watch out Deviant Art, it's been a long strange road but I'm still in it and I don't plan on leaving it!
