Hey guys,

Been a time of mixed emotions, as I am likely to be one of 18 people in the department at work to be made redundant which is a huge shame, considering the amount of people that are under threat. Alas, stuff like this happens and this is the main reason for much work from me. Regardless of this though I have been making sure I keep busy in getting another job lined up, and I have talks with one of the other departments about going in there tomorrow so fingers crossed that will go well! We shall hopefully find out if I have been successful there soon. I will also keep my eye out for other opportunities and hopefully we will get something good lined up for the time being.

I have also been hard at work preparing some stuff Fighting Game wise for the up and coming ukfgc.com website which shall be launching tonight! Keep an eye out for it as it will be great. I also have been working on getting some video editing stuff done also, finally nailing the quality issues I was having with some videos I was sorting on Premiere Pro but now we have got it working nice and good! You can check out the result here - [link]

Artwork wise, I have been feeling the urges to get some stuff done at least so I might start off small. I was working on a character, Gina Callinai, she has long hair but the one thing that annoyed me is her outfit was so bland so I will redesign her before I upload. I shall do a little 2013 portrait to practice colouring of Veronica then go from there. Also my Girlfriend Lauren is coming up this Thursday which is something to look forward to . Maybe she can kick my arse in gear to get more artwork done haha! Formula 1 this weekend as well, hyped for that one.

Regardless though people, I hope you all have had good times. Fingers crossed this won't be the end of a nice 6 and a half year stint of solid work.

Luke x
