Hey guys, warning long post ahead.
I've had to take some personal time off recently due to unforeseen circumstances but I'm back now and ready to produce some amazing stuff.
I've been back to the drawing board with my D&D Taj Packs and there are a lot more things to do than I thought. Initially it was just going to be a character pack but ever since playing 5ed I've been adding to the pack and it's grown monstrously.
I have plans to release the following packs: Base Character Pack, 2nd Character Pack, Travelers Pack, Base Dungeon Pack, Dungeon Magic Pack, Monsters Forest Pack, Monsters Dungeon Pack, Monsters Cave Pack, Animal Forest Pack, Animal Dungeon Pack, Animal Cave Pack, Village Base Pack, 2nd Village Pack, and a Village Street Pack. So a total of 14 packs - about 125 items in total.
So to kick off this stupendous and horrific adventure I've made potion bottles for the Dungeon Magic Pack - which are currently available on Gumroad. I'm going to start small and work my way up from there. I still have the Elf to finish and I should have that done by the 18th if my scheduling is correct (it might change if I get a call back from a job interview I had recently - yay \o/)

I'm pretty damn excited to see that after a bunch of time off, I've gotten back into the swing of things so quickly. This project is obviously something special.
I've also added a donations section to Gumroad with a wallpaper of 1920x1080 as a reward. I think I might change these to represent the items I've made when I have enough to create a scene.
I've got my internship work at Invisibit Studios go check them out. They're creating a little game with a robot called BIP. He's quite cute and I'm working on animations for him and his friends - along with a fellow colleague Chris Hill (who doesn't seem to have a website).
I've bought a commercial license for license for Photoshop and after a bunch of hunting I've got myself an N52te :D for really, really cheap (20 Pounds). It has made changing programs between Max, Maya and Blender so much smoother. But I will say, there aren't enough buttons for Blender - which is seriously shortcut heavy. But it is still a blessing for changing between programs. I even use it for Photoshop.
With this I've managed to get back into Maya animation. It's something I've been interested in but never took the time to learn. I'm quite comfortable with it all now and pressing play, going through the frames is much easier since I've bought this keyboard extension. I don't need to press Alt+. to go one frame to the right any more it's just a button press.
