Martin joined May 24, 2006

I've been going around as a writer, but started getting drawn into Concept Art and 3D modeling. I'm currently finishing my studies as a 3D artist and will then be let loose on the world. Beware!

Jeez - I'm looking for work in my town Hamburg, Germany. If you ever look for work in games, don't come here. Last year Bigpoint released some 200 developers and they are still swarming around here. It's virtually impossible to even get as much as an internship.

After 3 years of studying and looking back on all the things I can do (write, paint, model/texture) that is quite a setback. So what to do?
The only thing I know to do is to apply worldwide now. I hope to find a position, where I can learn writing for games or work as a consultant to the writers. Since I worked as storyliner before, I might be able to help. However, if I find work in a bigger studio it will probably be so specialized, I won't have much time to think about other things.

I wonder what the work situation is like out there for "ordinary" people. I have gone to college and took some extra courses. I got degrees in English and Spanish Language, wrote and co-wrote several books and screenplays AND I learned 3D and most everything involved. You'd think that would score me a job, right? Polly want a cracker?

Woot - I'm a level 23 centurion. That qualifies me as a can-opener and I can also standby and watch people cross the road! Here I come, level 24!

Are you a 2-D artist. I was looking through some of your images and was wondering who drew the screens. If it was you, then I think that you've got some serious skill and would like to recruit you for a mod. If it was anybody else then could you possibly link them to me.

My butthurt-o-meter is through the roof on this one!

More friends on the Internet makes you a better person. Woe is me.

Having friends on Moddb (or anywhere) just means that you are actually doing something, as opposed to just criticizing everyone else.

Pfewwwww, that was cool! I went to the Animation Awards and even had a little private chat with Michael Thurmeier. I see perfectly what we need to do now and we have been on the right way, all along. The people at the workshop were amazed what we pulled off without any budget and with our team of renegade modellers :).
I feel really great now, because two years of work weren't wasted. In fact most pro-companies did far less in the same time! So, if you want to check out our new website (still very WIP) with some images from production,please go to www.gaiamedia.de and check out concept art on the left. We will also try uploading some animations soon and show you some more of what has been accomplished. Woooohoooo!

I'm alright and try to answer everyone at their own profile. We are going to a workshop with Mech Override and hope to stir some publicity for our project. It's taking place already this weekend and I'm busy getting everything we need collected :)
Luckily I found the most amazing ZBrush Artist some time ago and he keeps pumping out heads for our characters. This is starting to shape out really good and I would make a media update, but I'm not sure, if I shouldn't wait until we got some more bodies (damn bodies!) done.
