New year, new opportunities

Or at least that's the idea...
It's been over a year since I started this blog and even though it doesn't look like it here, much has happened. It's become harder and harder for me to play EVE, or draw EVE related things, mainly because of all the other work that never stops comming.
Adding that I just spent a week in bed without being able to do a single piece of work, and I'm now well and truly behind on pretty much everything.
I still have some WIP's that may come up here but that will be when I have time to finish them.

Fly safe!

Shots

Haven't had much time to play lately, but here are a few screenshots. :)

Amarr

A quick research sketch : Amarr
Used screenshots found on the net
since I can't use Singularity at the moment.

Spaaaacey...

Capsuleer

Speedpaint

Plex

Just a quick sketch for research.

I'M BACK!

After many hurdles ( no appartment, then no internet, then last week computer broken....)
I'm posting again! O_O

If anyone's still here to watch this, here's an Incursus speedpaint for your trouble. :)

Alive!

Just a quick post to show I'm still alive. :)
I'm finally in my new apartment, with new internet and new furniture,so I'll be able to get back to EVE and this blog soon!

Cut off

It's rather complicated, but the long and short of it is that from monday on I will have no internet...I don't know how long it will take to get it back but I hope it won't last too long. It mostly depends on whether I will have any appartment or not when I get back to France.

Hope to see you guys again soon!

Busy times

Unfortunately, no post this week, as I have a canoe trip, a burial and a wedding to attend, among other things. :P

Comming out of the egg

So, while some on the EVE forums are quite vocal about their not having a need for a new spiced up chatroom and private shops and bars, I for one am really looking forward to Incarna.

Finally being able to get out of the pod, and admire the different cultures' architecture, fashion, and looks inside the station instead of the same old we see every day in space will go a long way in making the game's immersion better. :)

being able to talk to an assembled crowd in a room instead of just looking at your ship when making a speech, the ability to make your own missions ( if they kept that feature? I sure hope so), and the minigames seem like it'll be alot of fun.

Oh and my character sure could use the revamp. I mean, even I hardly know what he looks like...

Mayday! Mayday!

Winner!

And the first to give me the answer to last week's question was Gabriel Theodoulus

THE PRIZE:

Gabriel will get the frigate of his choice painted, and he can also choose the setting: In combat, mining (!) or maybe simply cruising in space.

Docking request accepted

Those following this blog will undoubtedly recognise the comic above.
I've had it in the works since before this blog started.....But since I wanted to make the art really grandiose I kept putting off showing it.....and finally realised that I didn't want to have it gathering dust anymore, that the time it took to make was offsetting the "quick and funny" feeling I wanted.

So I redid a really quick (and crappy) color job and here it is: The reason I started this blog in the first place.

Maybe I'll come back to it and uppgrade the art later (whenever I feel like it :P), but that's another story!

Oh, and the first one that can tell me what comic strip this is based on wins a prize!

Good writing

And the workload continues I'm afraid, but I will continue trying to post at least once a week.
Tonight i would like to sing the praises of another blogger, whose writings I have come to enjoy immensely.

The hydrostatic capsule is part of Crazykinux' blog pack. But altough his posts only go back to early this year, I find many of his ideas concerning the EVE Online game most interesting.
The posts are well written and engaging, and thus I hearthily recommend that you have a look at his blog.

And to get my few readers to return here after, I promise new art for next week's post. :)

In the meantime, fly safe!

Lost

Apologies for the late post this week, I'm on an island right now which causes some internet and time/work trouble.

Once more

Fiddled around with it a bit more, YES I know the Omen has yellow lights
but it looks better this way, there WAY too much yellow in this pic already.

Omen dock

I wanted to finish this tonight but I don't know
if I'll have internet, so here it is unfinished.

Coercer
