My personal motto. The solution to any problem can be broken down into these two steps.

Analyze: First, you must study your situation thoroughly.

It is not enough to look, you must see!

It is not enough to listen, you must hear!

It is not enough to touch, you must feel!

Being “intelligent” is really just a matter of paying attention.

The more you experience, the more you will understand.

Conquer: Once you have your analysis, you have the advantage.

It is time to take action.

Don’t just solve your problem, conquer it.

Rip it out by the roots so it can never bother you again.

Sometimes, there are problems that must return, or a problem that will take a long time to resolve.

For these, you must a framework that allows you to control the situation, to deal with it in the future.

That is the nature of conquest.

I am known as

Ace the Super Villain.

I am an artist.

I am creative by nature. Whenever I play a game or watch a cartoon,

I can’t help but dream up my own characters or episodes or expansions.

Since I do it automatically, I might as well do it as a job.

I have created many products.

Flash Games on NewGrounds, Artwork on DeviantArt,

Figurines on Shapeways and Animated Models on TurboSquid.

Now, with a 3D Animation degree from FullSail,

I will be unstoppable…

I really like working in 3D.

After years of making 2D Spriting animations, I appreciate the

power that 3D vector work offers.

In 3D, I can make animations that would have taken eons to finish in frame-by-frame 2D.

I can use 3D shapes to help plan 2D artwork.

I can bring 3D models into the real world with 3D printing.

When making games, I can either use full 3D engines,

or I can use prerended 3D graphics with 2D game engines

I can even use shaders and compositing techniques to make 3D renders

that imitate the look of old school pixely graphics.

I have many plans for making money. I can sell game assets on TurboSquid or Unity. I can run ads on Flash

games. I can sell 3D printed models on Shapeways or art prints on DeviantArt. I can make cartoons on a

YouTube channel or start a 3D webcomic. I always wanted to try animating documentaries too.

I have found that I really like making games. Even when I want to try something different, my brain is always

thinking about what games I could make.

And not necessarily video games. I’ve designed a few board games and

tabletop skirmish games as well.

(This is old

I like artwork that has a sense of narrative to it, a sense that’s

something’s happening, that the picture is really standing in for 1000 words.

I have to admit, sometimes I would rather just create concept art,

rather than get into the nitty-gritty of finishing projects.

Concept Art for Edge the Eagle

At Full Sail, I was introduced to Story Boarding.

It’s an interesting form of story-telling that I had never tried before.

Doing concept art and storyboards is new to me. I don’t know what would be involved in

doing it professionally, but I like it enough that I might try to find out.

Concept Art for a Wild West

version of Grimm’s The Juniper Tree

In any case, if I plan to continue working for myself, mastering prep work will

be necessary to make my artwork the best there is.

Ace the SuperVillain.

Maybe we can work together, sometime.
