AWESOME!

And so after a spur of creative thought I decided to write some form of post, which is odd considering I am very bad at writing things down and such. Also the picture just had to go up there because to be quite frankly honest...it is AWESOME!
And so after going through one of my favourite sites which has a few inspirational if not geeky things on every so often (http://www.geekadelphia.com/ best site ever for gamer nerds) I found some things which really made me go...WOW!

The first thing to really get my creative juices flowing was an animation which joined together the concepts of steampunk with old myths and legends. It was an entry for a competition, which it deservedly won. Just the style of artwork in it is beautiful. I love how it looks so dull and dusty yet the animation and the way it's been painted and made into an animation brings it to life. It seems so scratchy yet it picks up the tone and idea so well, plus it seems like such an epic concept for some form of game.

The second thing that made me feel all creative inside was work by a street artist called Edgar Mueller. He makes things on such a bigger scale to Julian Beever and uses paint rather then chalks to get a crisper look. I just love how his work manages to engulf whole streets, turning a simple road into a rage river or a lava flow. The fact he can not just work on pavement, but manage to work out perspective and fight the weather just makes it seem so much more brilliant. It just proves that you don't need a pencil and paper to get creative.
