Hello old friends. I kinda never thought I'd be the one to do this type of post, since I didn't really count on being away from here that long. But here I am, having been away for quite some time. The last post in this place was basically about what on earth to do with myself; if I should stay in Norway and study, move to the carribbean as a hermit or move to San Francisco, CA to study.
Well. More than a year has passed since then. To make a long story short, I basically went for San Francisco and it was the best decision I ever made (so far). I am currently working on my BFA in game design which will hopefully turn out for the better. The studies are awesome, the city is beautiful and the girls even moreso. I am already learning and doing classical art stuff that I never thought I'd be able to do, and I definitely feel I've evolved so much more towards a stable, grown-up human being, not to mention artist..
I'm honestly not really sure why I'm posting this here, now, but I've always seen you guys almost as a second family. And although there are obviously a bunch of new people here since I left, it's good to see the good ol' gang is mostly still around, although you might not really remember me as I didn't actually contribute with any games or much productivity :) Hopefully I'll get myself to start this adventure game making business once again..!
Well, yes. I don't know what more to say exept: I'm back! Expect to see me around a bit more than I've been the last year.
Some pictures of my doings this last year:

Well, this kinda turned out to long-overdue post pictures here thread, but yes... I'm back.
:)
Weird for me to welcome you back. I'm kinda sorta back too.
Hey that James Dean charcoal is phenomenal!
Well, welcome back to you too! And hey, thanks :)
I'm excited for you, especially the education you're getting & the aspirations you've found in California. It's awesome to hear that your following your dreams and a little change up was all you needed.
Sometimes a new location and new place will do wonders for the psyche. There's no question this place is like a second family and obviously many of us want to know when a huge new change like this takes place.
vict0r, the man with the funniest reply ever in a topic, is back?!!!

I've also been absent for a while, but welcome back, vict0r. Good to see you're studying - you should do a game with all the art drawn in charcoal, that would be so cool :)
Hey Vict0r! Badass water painting, reminds me of Evil Dead :=
Welcome back and stuff, you too Evenwolf!
