THE BLOG HAS MOVED

Nothing to see here from now on. Blog is now on my website at http://rowenaaitken.com/

Alchemy

Having a bit of photoshop overload so switching to a new prog for some idea gen.

Alchemy

I used it a few years ago and thought it was "cool" but didn't feel I could use it for what I wanted to create. Just messing around with it and very quickly came up with some nice things (not useful to what i'm doing but interesting).

Also, remember to save as a jpg or pdf. Just saved one as a svg(?) and it will not open in anything. I am a dufus.

Books for sale

Right guys, got a load of art and game art books for sale. Difference being that ideally you can come and pick them up or I can post them to you but obv at your cost. The reason i'm not ebaying these is cause books cost a bloody fortune to post and with most sites offering free delivery, cost of book + postage prob = or more than the cost of getting it new. So anyhoo, below are a list of the books i've acquired from the days when I wanted to get into mobile phone games, being at uni and blah blah.

Make me an offer. The Game Art: Creation, Direction and Careers is currently missing the CD. I MIGHT have it somewhere but lets call it missing for now. If I find it, i'll edit my rambles.

I'm based in Edinburgh and I take paypal. If you would like to email me about any of these my address is rowena.aitken@gmail.com

meh skull

Having an off day. Can't quite get my eye in so decided to do a bit of practice from a model skull I currently have balanced on a pint glass.

It's meh but it's ok, it's just a practice.
