Announcing Stretch Goal 12.5K!

October 30, 2014, 6:39 am

As we are getting close to hit the 90% mark, we decided to introduce our first stretch goal!

If we are lucky enough to get more support than we originally planned, we are going to give the following extras to our pledgers:

- More content! Yay! Extending the book with an extra 30+ pages!

- A full length uncompressed HD tutorial covering the whole process described in the book through one complex marketing image created from scratch!

I am really happy to announce that my tutorial artbook Behind the Pixels is reached the 100% yesterday evening! I wanted to take this opportunity to thank for the more than 200 pledgers, who believed in this idea. I can`t really tell how flattered I am by your support and the encouragement I got from everyone both online and offline.
We are already started discussion with multiple printing companies and if everything goes by schedule you can all have your copies around the end of January next year! :)

Selfie done for the International Self Portrait Day... Sometimes you just have to go oldschool, one layer and no photoshop trickery, just pure paint fun from scratch - and now you guys actually know my stupid face... :D

I am still waiting for an engineer to come out and fix my broadband, so I decided to go and record the next session offline again instead of facing the speed-drops and disconnections. I am covering the basics of vehicle design starting with really rough sketches, then moving to fine lineart and coloring / finishing in a bit more than 2 hours. This is the final image of the demo as a teaser and going to upload the video tonight / tomorrow.
