Hello fellows, how have you been?
I've been missing dA sorely and wanted to share what's going on with me and if some of you wondered, why am I taking so long to answer your replies.
Yes, there is the general procrastination when times are more relaxed and it takes me some time to answer comments and interact with you awesome people but right now times aren't relaxed, I got to the point where I'm so busy that I don't have time for anything else much except work and then some more work.
So what am I up to nowadays? I'm working as a concept artist, UI designer and asset designer for a really cool computer game with a super cool company here in Israel. I'll share more details with you about it when it comes out, it's supposed to be hush hush for now, but in my opinion, it's a big project (my first big project too)! I enjoy working there in the studio, the people are uniquely awesome, each and every one of them. This is the dream I've been working towards since 2011, painting for a living and working in a studio.
Now that I've achieved this dream, I can only think in terms of my personal projects.
Unfortunately, I also took a bunch of freelance projects as well and I'm working on them when I come back home from the studio. It was unwise of me to load myself with so much work, but it will end tomorrow. A freelance project for an Israeli newspaper will be done today and I'll have more time to relax, read a book, paint for myself, enjoy life, chat on dA and write some more
My inactivity here was productivity elsewhere. This is how it works, you have to be careful with the time you have and invest it wisely because time is the scarcest resource we have and the most precious one at that. Myself, I'm not always wise with my time and think of myself in superman terms, which doesn't fail to fail me.
I'm working now on finishing the freelance projects, attaining the studio job and massively working on Wolfgang's Quest (my personal project) only after the freelance jobs will be done. Nothing else. I've decided to release the first chapter of Wolfgang's Quest individually when it's ready before I even start work on the subsequent chapters.
One last thing, if anyone wondered about a forum post I made regarding the art feature I'll be doing, I'll get to that this weekend. No worries, I haven't forgotten!
There are still two art pieces I promised to two deviants, which might happen this weekend.
All right, let me know how you are doing and what you are up to. What's been going on? How are things? What major things do you revolve around this time of the year?
Cheers,
Love,
As always,
Sir Towel the Salty.

Sketchbook Tour (an old one)
Hey guys and girls, I popped one of the few dusty sketchbooks from my shelf in my study room and realized I never showed how my sketchbooks work and how I'm not one to fill a sketchbook with glorious drawings (which I doubt I can, cause you know, doubting is part of life) but instead I fill them up with sketches, thoughts, really repetitive portraits (at least they look like that to me) and just ideas. Can I call it a Concept Artist's sketchbook? I dunno, maybe. Anyway, I made a video out of the whole thing, flipping casually through it, I'll link it down below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5orCvb1oRg Thanks! Oh! And I started streaming really regularly on Twitch (Sun, Tue, Wed - 7pm, Sat - 9am +3GMT), you can check my streams out and chat with me and sketch/draw if you want. https://www.twitch.tv/saltytowel_art #flipbook #conceptart
Do you guys have Twitter?
If so, post it and I'll follow you! I'm trying to figure out how to do Twitter, such a newbie myself when it comes to using it XD So here's mine - https://twitter.com/Saltytowel Love y'all
Netta Barzilai's New Clip and Me
Hey! Long time no post, definitely time for an update.
It's been nearly a year and a half with the amazing people at Gravity VFX in Tel Aviv, I did lots of work on so many different projects for them and learned a cartload of new skills and a whole new appreciation for fine detail in design, Matte Painting and even Illustration (though I didn't do a lot of the latter).
However, my last project with them is perhaps the one that took off in the finest way possible.
Those cool pixelated effects, amiright?
The studio got a project to do some work on Netta Barzilai's new video clip and single. Cool, right?
Even cooler, I got to do some designs

I think it's great that you're working in this game! Can't wait to hear about it some more in the future! It's always hard balancing your own projects when you come back home from the job. Perhaps, working on them every other day? It may mean slowing down on completion but it give you time to recover from exhaustion.
As for me, I've been working on applications for biology undergraduate research opportunities for the summer. I have some time for personal art projects and writing since I just finished my job for my uni's science magazine though
