Break because there's a buttload of images and talking. Stuff that may interest you the most is at the very bottom. Otherwise, this is mostly just an Atiq update for anyone who missed him...all 2 (or 3) of you XDD

Honestly, I dunno what I'm doing back here, just wanted to pop by and see how everybody was doing I guess |D

Gosh, there's so many unfamiliar faces here, feel as if my small place here has been filled, which is all good, let someone new take over for the old ^^

Anyway, to anyone who remembered my deer Atiq, if anybody was curious as to what happened to him, he isn't dead. He's quite alive and well, he even was a bit of a star in my Character and Object class where he was my main focus for a few weeks:



Some early concepts for Human!Atiq.

Also, an early concept doodle:






Silhouette practice



Expressions! This one sorta ticked me off because my professor only allowed these to be shown from the front...which I found kinda boring >n>



And the beginning of my greatest foe (other than 3DS Max)...Isometric Modelsheets. Gaahh! You aren't allowed to put any perspective into the drawings, so it messes with my head and some of the poses come out weird.

You can see that more with his actual model sheet:



It actually turned out that EVERY side view I did of a character in a modelsheet ended up leaning :/
Looked perfectly fine when I sketched it, but lord knows what I did |D

And then finally, the pose sheet:




And that's it for good old Atiq 8D He is going to play a small part in some stuff I have planned, but otherwise, he'll be taking it easy for awhile.

Let's see...what else has old Cato been up to...
I launched a website! http://catostudios.weebly.com/
Took me long enough lol. And as you can see, it did finally occur to me that I don't just have to pick up odd art jobs at random, I have the ability to advertise, so commissions are open.

As well as launching a website, I've launched a prequel to a graphic novel project I'm working on:

I know it hasn't updated for a bit, I've been having some issues with 3D software I need for my classes and corrupting my photoshop files |D I unfortunately lost a few pages a couple of weeks ago and I haven't gotten to sit down and redo them yet.

I also feel obligated to advertise this: http://anachronismoct.deviantart.com/
It's a new OCT (Original Character Tournament) I'm going to be judging later this year. I know, compete in one little tourney and all of a sudden I'm all up on you with this nonsense. This is for any deviantartists out there who've always wanted to try out an OCT or anyone who just wants to try something they've never heard of before. Or you could just come out and watch the fun ^^

[HERE'S THE SHORT BLURB THAT'S PROBABLY THE MOST PERTINENT TO YOU]

...Wow that's a lot of plugging for someone who disappeared for forever. Oh well, I'm not so proud as to miss an opportunity |D Oh! and before I forget, I may have left some unfinished business the last time I was here, if anybody had asked a request of me, or a trade, and I never got to it, please tell me if you're still interested. If you're afraid I might not get the message here feel free to email me:

That's all, I guess, time to disappear into the ether again. I hope all my old pals are still well, I think about you all the time <3 , and I hope the newcomers are having fun. I'm going to try and kick Atiq in the forest more often and run around like an idiot just like the old days.
