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.

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. (Or in other word, you too could have one of those shirts of your very own if only you had access to Photoshop!)

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.

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

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?

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



Aftermath at the considerably-smaller GA dinner at Chevy's:



FredH:



PimpOfPixels:



Yours truly, with PimpOfPixels:



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:



-mike

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.
