Hi everyone,

I have submitted my design to Threadless. The link is www.threadless.com/designs/sou…

I really appreciate if you spend a few seconds and rate my design.
It is an abstract design I did based on personal experiences of the past three years..

You'd make me really happy if you leave me a comment or share the love with your friends
Thank you everyone.

Ahhhhh, finally I got rid of that crazy nickname! I was what 16 when I took it?
Anyhow! Finally a new nickname! I tried to choose "artcha" but it has been taken by a user with 46 views! Such a pity that such a great nickname will be lost forever!

-What Artcha means?
-Good question! As far as I know it's the name of an ancient indu-persian goddess! And I like the sound of it, it's pretty close to captcha! Makes sense?

-SO, what's new?
-Glad that you asked! I won the best cover design for Melbourne University's magazine! (It's right in my gallery, in case you want to check it fav.me/d5777je) It was chosen by audience of the launch party! If you're interested to know about Farrago (Melbourne University's magazine) please go to union.unimelb.edu.au/farrago ! Now, I'm the happy owner of an A0 size of my photo!


Aside from all these, I just opened a zazzle account at www.zazzle.com.au/artcha I will start uploading some of my artworks for T-shirt prints! I promise you the best of quality in each artwork!
In return I ask you to take a look at my gallery and if you're interested, make me very happy by buying one of my designs! What's better than supporting an artist?!

Cheers,
Puya

My portfolio is finally UP, safe and sound..

Sketch-time!

Hi everyone,

Apparently I'm going to give this address as a reference to my artworks. So well, I should post more often and talk a bit about what I'm doing at the moment to make myself look good for future employers
Dear Beloved lovely future employers, I'm hardworking, great with women, full of new ideas, and a life full of adventure. although one of them is a lie, the others are true.
So what exactly is happening right now?

Well, now I can say that eight months ago, I moved to Australia. As you may know I have a background in Mechanical Engineering, as much as I love engineering, I need to keep the balance between my two personalities. So I started getting into game designers society in Melbourne. Unfortunately, nowadays there are very few huge companies, and everyone's busy with indie games, which well, in my opinion is not still in its right direction after all these years. I will write another journal about it later.

So, as some of you know two months ago it was Global Game Jam "GGJ", and I joined the jam.

For those who know what it is, skip this paragraph. It's a competition held in 100+ countries during 48 hours. And in a tense and friendly environment you will make a game with your teammates. For more information, ask google what it is about.

Well I was in charge of arts and modeling and texturing etc etc. in one word all the visuals.

The theme this year was "Ouroboros" which is a symbol of cycle of life. So we made a ring and you as a character are living inside this ring and you are trying to find your soulmate to breed and then you will play as your child. It can be a bit addictive, Which is good for a game done in 48 hours. We didn't win any trophies although the game and the experience and making new friends and future co-workers will always be the best trophy.
Here is a link to Clinton Shephard's weblog about the game, you can download the last build of the game for free.  foolhardygames.com/

Here are some screen captures of the game.









You can play the game in fullHD, all the textures are high-res enough to be seen in fullHD. But for the needs of this journal I decreased the resolution.
Well, that will wrap everything up. I will be glad to know your opinion and reviews.

Have lots of fun. LOTS OF FUN!

Whether I like it or not,

All the progress happens in the last 100m of the run!
Keep Running!


Hopefully it's gonna be the last final 100m!
