Walrus

nice :)

I wish I could be there... maybe next year :thumb:

[walrus]

I thought "picture threat" was a typo, but after seeing what you've done to those photos, I'm not so sure. So here's my threat: I'll post my photos of you (and everyone else) this weekend.

[mr_ace]

where oh where did that GA hoodie come from!?

wish i could go to gdc...

[DreameR]

wish i could go to gdc...

~ just go next year

[ThatDon]

<3 love that trophy case :P

[DreameR]

<3 love that trophy case :P

~ you might have sculpted the trophies Don, but you still haven't won one! HA! :p

[wim]

Your sculpt was gone at the end of the day.

[walrus]

We missed you, Don! Hope your car is okay...?

As for that sweatshirt's of Josh's, let's just say it didn't quite look like that in real life. :D (Or in other word, you too could have one of those shirts of your very own if only you had access to Photoshop!)

[ir0nside]

haha, I had to do a double take on GA hoodie.

[wim]

post your Walrus! You have more pictures than me. I love this one. It really wasn't that difficult man 2+2. Nothing more 2+2

[Vailias]

That's cause its a polycount hoodie. :P Nice logo drop though.

This was most of the people at the Polycount meetup. (thanks to Breakneck and Singh for getting the photo op together and online) Fred and aftermath were there along with like 50+ others. I only got to chat a little with some of the group, but it was a huge success, though California Pizza Kitchen was a little unhappy that our 35 person reservation ballooned to nearly double, I imagine they liked the $1000ish bill and tip to go with it.

[JacqueChoi]

That group photo looks like a collection of everyone who hasn't started their DWAR entry.

[Vailias]

Its when you finish that matters. :P

[ReplicA]

Awesome pics! I love seeing the actual artists behind some of my favorite work, especially rv_el, since he's my current favorite artist. :)

I really wish I could have gone, but I'm broke as a joke. And I hear you have to be actually GOOD at digital art to be invited? What is that about?

[walrus]

You wanna see rv_el, ReplicA? Here he is, hard at work demoing ZBrush on the gigantuous Cintiq at the Dominance War booth:

The entire table at dinner. In the front are Zac Berry and Jeremy. I don't recall exact usernames - ZacB, maybe? Behind Fred are Mike and Derek who were a big help at the DW booth. Behind them is Ryan/Aftermath. And on the left behind PimpOfPixels is a guy from Pixelogic and his friend.

And back at GDC, Wim and Pior Oberson:

Those are awesome. Thanks for posting those Walrus.

It's nice to call you Walrus again. Mike didn't suit you nearly as well IMO.

[wim]

Thx Walrus! The guys in the from are Zac berry and Jeremy.

[YdoUwant2know]

I all I can say is next year... next year... :(

Oh well, thanks for posting these up. great to put a face to the posts.

[BigJohn]

Oh man, I so wish I could have gone. That looks like it was awesome...

Next time!

[ReplicA]

Thanks Walrus!! rv_el is so bad ass, no wonder he rocks with zb, he's got the power of beard!! the greatest power of all. And I noticed that he represented his metal brothers in the group photo, with the metal horns!!

Damn, I wish I could have been there... I don't think I would have made it to the games exhibits, just floated around the artist areas, in awe.

Thanks again, walrus, I love this stuff.

[Parnell]

Ya it was awesome finally getting to put names to faces.
I can only imagine how awesome next years Dom War booth will be!

[ReplicA]

Great pics Josh! Seeing you guys rockin out on zbrush makes me really wanna become better at it. Guess I better hit the tutorials again, and see if I can pick something up I missed before. I'm so jealous of your guys skills.

More pics! They help with the motivation to get better. ;)

[Mike_K]

wish i could have been there to see some of that zbrush awesomesauce in action!

[Styx]

its strange, to see you guys are real humans. XD
i never imagine, how the people here looks.
well, nice to see you. ^^
btw, who is this guy on the last pic? (in the back)
gabe newell? : D

[rv_el]

Awesome pictures! GDC was kick ass. It was great to meet everybody and finally meet FredH. Actually i felt like a jack ass cause he was not only introduced to me as "Fred" but i didn't even hear that clearly (common with me, i dont know if i'm deaf or what) so i was just like "hi, i'm mike" thinking i dont know him and he doesn't know me, and then as he was talking i realized he knew me from somewhere... so i asked and he said "FredH".. hahaha. It was awesome to meet him and everybody else i've wanted to meet for ages.

i really wish i could have made it to the GA gathering but i went and got good seats at the awards show and watched my friend win 2. On the second one he ripped his shirt off for the crowd! (there is a story behind it actually) hahahaha. It was crazy.

[ReplicA]

Man, someday I'll get to go to one of these things. It really does look like you guys had a blast, and I can help but feel I'm missing out on some great times. So jealous. :)

[zberry]

GDC was alot of fun this year, thanks Wim for introducing me to Walrus, Fred, and the rest, you guys are awesome.

[blankslatejoe]

dang, im jealous! Next year I'll have to come out and hang out with everyone.

[HellMark]

Wish I would have been able to see more of everyone else jamming. Got a few shots of Mike working on Guile and Bison. Great stuff all around from everybody. Thanks for the time and for sharing. GDC inspirational liguid! :)

[Cunipshun]

i heard about the GDC being on X-play.... any of u guys there expecting interview???

[Aftermath]

First and foremost thanks for coming out and either helping or showing support for the booth guys. I had a great time working it with you guys and talking to new sponsors. I am not sick as a dog now I think one to many hand shakes.

Cunipshun- Only interview I did was cgchannel.

[Vailias]

Ah yeah I hear that happens a lot at con's and such.

One of two tricks seem to work (or both): drink heavily every night; Get the BAC high enough and the viri can't survive, or make frequent use of germ-x or another alcohol based cleanser. Keeps the hands free of contaminants. The first way tends to be more fun for most people. ;)

[Wynn]

gdc was fun this year, it was sure nice to see everyone who came out!

and the domwar booth was fun to hang around, pretty cool seeing you guys work your magic in zb

[WhiteGuardian]

If many artist can gather in GDC. Why GameArtisans make a gathering event too? Each 1-2 years maybe. :think:
How about GameArtisans t-shirt? :)

[Kickflipkid687]

Ya... I wish I could have gone..

[Noddy Jnr]

Cool photos. Looks like alot of fun :)
