I like writing. I like programming. I like making artwork using software on my PC. If you’ve looked through my blog, you probably knew all of that, but the several aspects are all, in a way, intertwined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take the above photo, for example. It was an art piece that I started working on this past Thursday, and it took a surprisingly long time to render considering the quality of the PC I use. As soon as I got the finished print, I started thinking about the ghost next to the house and started sketching out the story behind the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s just part of what I do. But Friday night and Saturday night, the cannons in my head kept firing and I eventually started writing chapter one for a novel idea that, for the moment, I’m calling Victoria’s Glow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether this turns into another 76K word novel remains to be seen. Generally I don’t work out a photo\/cover idea until I’m somewhere around chapter nine or twelve, but this one image is compelling me to write words down on paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the thing about this art piece is that the initial idea spawned while I was tweaking the day-night cycle of my mini-golf game. I noticed that the lighting in the street lamps was cranked way too high and was casting brilliant beams of light like search-lights and as I was making adjustments to that, I started wondering about some of the models I have in my 3D library for graphic work and as soon as I reached a stopping point in my nightly allotment of Pirate Island, I jumped over to the rendering software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I guess it all fuels each other, in a healthy way. Have a great day everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
