Yesterday, high noon, I said goodbye again to Thorsten who took part in my first private practice, here at my place. We did not manage to make a little report yesterday as we painted really epic during the night. Thorsten arrived here on Tuesday and we started painting in the afternoon. Wednesday was a complete painting day and night, pretty relaxed with ... ok, I stop here as Thorsten told me that he will write some lines about his experience :) - I will meet him again next week at the upcoming BÄM-Workshop where we will do a good photo of the figure - we did not manage to do it here as time was limited ...
It was really a great experience for me - I guess the same for Thorsten - as we really managed to explore new grounds on both our painting style. I made some photos with a simple digital camera but soon there will be better ones :)
I did those during Wednesday night shortly before we went to bed in my cabinet with lightning by the camera - so they look kind of strange - anyway:
In the morning I've tried to make better ones with my poor camera but failed again - also I want to say that the base did not get much attention at all in the end :D - we really concentrated on the skin and different material parts and all sourrounded by technical aspects of painting, colour decisions and problem solving.
For me this was really an awesome experience and I enjoyed the days with Thorsten here at my place truely epic. I plan to do more of these private classes in the future but first there are other important things to finish.
A little information about my Diablo III problem: Yesterday I uninstalled the game with a lvl 60 Monk on Inferno. Just unsinstalled. I like to play and game but when I see that a whole game concept is prepared to really make me seriously addicted to stupid things like farming gold, kill stupid monsters and just lose time then I often think about those stupid things while doing them and in the end there are steps to take ... So, strange day without Diablo today but really Blizzard used to make better games in the past ... I think the financial aspects behind WOW really changed a lot in that company. Really, when I remember back to Warcraft I, this was a fun game ... about fun :)
Whatever ... Sometimes I just have to be Braveheart!
Keep on happy painting!
Best Wishes
Roman
Hej Roman... I have uninstalled Diablo Three Days ago too, although I only had the Guest Version that would take me through a little Part of the Game...:D...
ReplyDeleteIt occured to me after around 10 Hours of playing that it doesn´t get me anywhere... Also saying that it´s that good for Inspiration like a lot of people claim... and such, I have to disagree... If you think about what you could DO and actually SEE with all this time outsides, it´s simply incredible that people play it so exhaustively!
So, stop Playing, Start Studying...;)...
Level 60! Woohoo ....
ReplyDeleteMy adavantage is, i never didn't play one of these Blizzard games before. So i can go unbiased on the Diablo pheneomenon. But thing like 'Fehler37' are not advantegous for Blizzard :)
Back to topic: I'm a little bit envy to Thorsten. Private lessons with you, seems very effective. Further more, i really like his mini much. Good job Thorsten! Stayed tuned with your paintings, and i´m look forward to see your finish pics of the Troll :D
Hi Roman,
ReplyDeleteI arrived home save at around 17.30h yesterday. The 4 hours travel time in the train gave me enougt time to think about our massive painting session and it was just awesome... epic... monstrous... I owe you for the good time, fun, motivation, hospitality... ok, this as a few comments in advance, more will follow in my sum up and experience articel.
Regarding your decision to (truly) kill the game from your hard drive, thumps up. I think this is the real end boss! It´s not Diablo himself it is the game that has to be beaten. I´m sure you will use the time you save with this decision wisely.
All my best greatings into the dschungel (also to Momo and Kaiko)
Thorsten
It looks like you guys hat lotsa fun with great results. The skin and the whole gnome overall look really nice. I am really looking forward for an in-depth-report :)
