Hey guys, just thought I'd say hello here.
My name is Gary and I'm a retired (once professional, now amateur) digital artist working on my pet game project. Initially it was an outlet for my creative art juices, but now I'm finding that the game design is the tricky part, not the art!!
Hoping to learn and share on here as much as possible on game design and game art. It's an amazing passion we all share with unlimited ideas and potential.
Peace
Welcome to the forums.
It's good to see other designers from Australia.
Regards,
kos
Ironic... My passion is the design aspect and it's the art that trips me up. Good to know we've all got strengths and weaknesses.

Welcome
Hi Gary,
Welcome to BGDF. I wonder how many antipodeans are on here? Kos, you - I live near Wellington across the Ditch - any more?
Do you have a digital portfolio online you can share? I'm sure a lot of the people here would love to see!
Aussie Aussie Aussie!
Welcome - I too am relatively new here, but it is a great site to be sure!
Glad there are a few of us here from EcksEcksEcksEcks ;)
Hello - welcome to the BGDF. I felt I could say that as I'm another Australian independent designer/publisher!
Now if we only had some heavy hitting distributors...we'd be alright!
Nice work on the 3D models, Gary. If you are as proficient with traditional media, you'll find some success here :)

Cheers for the warm welcome dudes, it's nice to be among fellow designers. Good to see there's a few more aussies out there too. Looking forward to getting involved in the community here and hearing about your game projects!
I have a few concepts and 3D models uploaded over here. Must be well over 10 years old some of this stuff but still holds up alright. Let me know what you guys think!
