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!
I wrote (mostly copied) some scripts, in order to set UDK up as a side scroller with pick-ups. You can see the results of two days of work here. Of course there is not much on the map, but I made that house last night and the rocks yesterday afternoon. The rest was stuff I made before and the terrain took me 5 minutes (it looks like it too ^^).
I am just amazed at how much faster you get when constantly working with some tools. I had to take a break, because we were applying for funding (which doesn't seem to have worked out), but I realized I am really happy about working with and in UDK. I missed it :)
