So I think it’s been awhile since I made a post that didn’t have something to with vampires or images, or whatever lol
Over the past week or so my life has been mostly consumed with my site, Vampire’s Promise. I have gotten several other artists to contribute their work to the site. Lots of 3D renders, and some very cool drawings and paintings too. I have a couple of story writers lined up and will be posting some of those this weekend.
So something not vampire related that I was thinking about today. I don’t know when this all started, I think it’s a project management type of thing, where they refer to people as "resources". I’m sure it probably got it’s start from MS Project or something where you fill in the time lines with "resources."
To me it’s rather degrading to be referred to as a "resource", it’s like it takes the human element out of it. I think you call people "resources" and all of a sudden it become much easier to use them just that way. No one seems to think twice any more about assuming someone will work at any time, there is no regard for personal life it seems any more. And of course its that much easier to cut payrolls when all they are is "resources" and not people. Just a thought….
Well I was finally able to put the finishing touches on my new web site tonight and after a couple of months of work on it, its finally open and can be viewed here Vampires.
The idea started out as just a place for me to display my own vampire related art work. It soon grew to include the artwork of some other artists I have met, and finally I decided to make it a site to cover all things vampire. So in addition to the art work, there is information about vampire related books and movies, of course information on True Blood, and will soon be adding stories and information about vampire lore. It’s been a fun project so far and I think its only going to get better, probably not due solely to me but I do have some epic friends that I think will be a blast to work with.
And lastly thought I’d post one of my renders that I did this past week, it’s titled Dark Red.
In case it wasn’t completely obvious I’ve become obsessed with True Blood, major inspiration for the new render I did the other day. I even bought season one on DVD and ended up watching all twelve episodes last weekend. A whole bunch of things make sense now. And I am determined to do an animation that mimics the opening smoke image for the show.
Is there any hope for me? It’s only a TV show. The last time I was this interested in a TV show I was 16 or so, oh yeah I forgot about the Sopranos and Dexter. Ok so I’m not all that much into regular TV but I do enjoy excellent TV.
