UDK? More like UDNay

UDK? More like UDNay

So the Easter holidays are over, which can only mean one thing - UDK deadline on Monday! I've spent the past 3 weeks crying on my keyboard because my alphas aren't working or there's a ridiculous issue where my materials aren't importing. So yeah, it's been a pretty 'fun' three weeks to say the least. I really enjoyed this project as we hadn't done too much work within UDK before,...

So yesterday was what I'd class as my 'day off'...coincidentally it was also the release of The Hobbit: TDOS. Pretty self explanatory as to why I chose to have a break. I rushed down to my local supermarket to buy the copy that contained an exclusive Lego set - I am 18 I promise you - who wouldn't want a Lego set at 18 anyway? Pfft.  It only took me about 5 minutes to...

The element of surprise was quite nice though as it left everyone guessing about what was going to be happening on the day... So today consisted...

So one of my favourite bands released a new album this week! It's so amazing that I thought I'd write a short little post on one of the poems that appears in a certain song. The song is called Cannons is is freaking amazing anyway but the fact it has a poem read by Bill Nighy at the end just makes everything that little bit better.  I'd recommend listening to the whole song, but if not, skip to 4:18 to hear the poem. If you're interested I'd also have a read...

Sic Parvis Magna? Hmmm...

Sic Parvis Magna? Hmmm...

So I've been sat here for what feels like hours - probably about 30 minutes - editing and uploading my life drawing work in preparation for Friday. Scary stuff. It got me thinking about just how much I've improved in the past year of being here, though. I'd done life drawing once before at college and really enjoyed it, but it was only for one lesson, which lasted little over...
