10 years...It doesn't seem like much year to year, but going back...it's REALLY been a long time. just little bit under half of my life.
Heh, I remember how it all started from a simple picture (left corner) while fascinated with LOTR's cave troll and the balrog. I can't remember what made me go back to this creation, but I did. And yes, Azuryt started out as a quadruped : P.It wasn't long before I started my first notebook for some random comics, which were at that time largely ripped off The Lord of the Rings because my level of originality was at the beginner level. You can say that this...little monstrosity there started it all. And got me into concept art, and building a headworld, and eventually starting the long process of my book writing.
It may sound strange, but aside of LOTR helping me find my life goal, which would be concept artist hopefully at Weta one day, I now realize that this little picture was the beginning of where I am now in life. As a person, and as an artist.
So...what else can I say besides happy birthday Az and thanks for coming along! Let's hope I can finish that damned prequel this year at last, and move onto your story
Cheers everyone!

Bravo and congratulations! You've come such a long way and I can't wait to see your Easkulls have their day in Hollywood. I also hope you get into Weta and fulfill your life's dream (you have an amazing chance to do just that) so I can say that I spoke to someone in the company that designed my favorite movie lol. The least I can say is that I can't see them not taking you, so just do what you do, and I know they'll love having you on board :)
I know the feeling, but you have real talent that they could use, and that's not something a pet store is going to look at. A pet store couldn't care less about how great your artwork and talents are, but Weta does and they will see it. It may not be easy, but if you keep up the pace you're going at, they'll have no reason to say no. They're a growing company that could use an artist like you :)
