Study, cat, house .

I am so unsure about my graduation project. We're supposed to come up with some kind of problem and then do research about it and write a paper. Or something, I don't even know how to explain it in english. Naturally, I wanted my "problem" to be related to what I've been studying the past years so that'd be computer graphics for games. Textures was my first though. Stylized vs. realistic textures. But what IS a stylized texture? For me, it's the kind of texture that's hand painted where you can see brush strokes (not neccessarily but yeah..) and they are almost sort of cliché. Like, wood is always painted as you would imagine the most wood-like wood ever in a cartoon movie. Anyway, almost every game that uses realistic textures, as in, textures with a photo as base, are touched up and painted on aswell, so it's SO hard to draw the line, in my opinion. It drives me nuts. I also don't know what the problem itself IS. It's not a problem. And it has to be. I've been thinking along the lines of, what difference does the style of textures make to the player. I've been reading on a lot of forums where stylized and realistic games are being discussed, but these discussions usually involve the style of the overall game, like stylized models, aswell. Which of course is a very important aspect of the whole deal, but I'm not sure as to wether I should incorporate that into my thought process as well, or just stick to textures only...

My cat Spock is mean, he doesn't make this any better. He keeps eating on all of my shoes and I don't appreciate that, even though I know he's just a kitten. He can bite some of his toys, he's got like six balls (not balls as in testicles, he only got two of those) and some ball with a stick (? looks really odd..). Recently I found him carrying a ball of toilet paper around as well, he's got toys everywhere, and still he thinks my shoes are the funniest. Whyyy~...

So, instead of studying (I'm reading some papers and books here and there but still, at a loss) I'm just mindlessly browsing internet. Jumping between Reddit and Facebook, so tiresome. Found cute and sweet pictures of cozy homes. Some day I wanna live in one of those cozy homes. With an old fashioned bath tub, lace curtains in the kitchen, a fireplace and dark brown bookshelves. On top of that it feels like everyone is moving in together now and I keep wondering what happened? It went so fast, feels like yesterday I was 16 and moving - yet, moving IN with someone, was SO far away. And now, everybody's doing it. Well, not me. But everyone else. But yeah, not me.

Spock's asleep .

This is basically how my kitten Spock sleeps while I'm working on my computer. And it's very nice, very nice indeed. Warm, fluffy and sweet. Yeah...

Human Paladin lowpoly model .

Finally finished my miniproject for school, been working on it on and off for the last months alongside a lot of other school work.

This is the concept I started out with, didn't really know what I was going for but that it was supposed to be a human paladin inspired by the game World of Warcraft. I was very inspired by this creation by slipgatecentral so I decided I'd also stick to 2000 tris and 512 maps.
