01/21 - What are you working on this week?

Wes Burke

Hey everyone, 

Happy Monday to you and I trust the ☕️ is well. I am waking up to a winter day west of Chicago, it looks much warmer than 1F/-15C  with the sun beams coming through the window. Though I'll trust my phone and remain indoors for a short bit.  🤓

Over the weekend I was thinking a lot about our community here;  all the various projects, goals you're here to complete and the connections we're all making. It's pretty dam awesome. When you joined CG Cookie you didn't purchase a subscription, you adopted a community. That is real, and you all rock for making it so. 🤛

Lately my role has been pulling me more towards the backend end of things; business processes, development roadmaps, and google spreadsheets. A far cry from my days as an Environment Artist at RoboModo or my time at Midway Games. 


I'd love to see some art, creative projects or challenings you're tackling this week for yourself.  Please link, upload what you're working on and or share what you're looking to accomplish by the end of it. 

Similar to the internal HeartBeat requests the Cookie crew answers, what do you plan on working on this week? 

Have a kick arse week!

    ssmurfmier1985 Love it! Being an 80's/90's kid myself. I am a sucker for anything that slightly resembles the original Mario Brothers. ;)

    swikni - Hah, clever name and hopefully it won't become true to the name development wise. We once named a code-deploy here at CG Cookie "doom" and... it lived up to it's name. Hah!

    Such awesome projects around the board being worked on this week, I dare say one of these weeks I will crack open Blender 2.8 and see if I can remember how to extrude. ;) 

    #onward!

    @wesburke Thanks Wes! Super Mario Bros 3 on the classic Nintendo was the first video game I ever played as a kid, I was hooked right away! That's certainly where the inspiration came from 😊

    Speaking of computer games, sometime in the future I plan to sculpt what I think creepers, endermen, and blazes (from Minecraft) would look like in real life.  Right now, though, I'm working on the wrangler sculpting course.
