Hi everybody :)

2013 was a busy year, we had a baby boy on Nov.19th, so we now have 3 munchkins keeping us busy. We also made quite a few game prototypes for One Game a Month, you can take a look at www.onegameamonth.com/EmeraldE….

I look forward to 2014 being another year of family and games, with hopefully a few more deviations submitted, lol.

Happy New Year!

Hi guys!

I know I have been quiet on here, but I have actually worked on lots of fun projects lately. I already posted in the Emerald Activities group about the upcoming remake of the Holiday Doll Magic Maker (it will be much much better). But I have also done several other game prototypes with my better half this year, you can take a look at what we have been up to by visiting www.onegameamonth.com/EmeraldE… (I did the art/design for all of them... and please keep in mind that they are game jam games so they are done very very quickly!)

Other than working on the Magic Maker and games, I have also done a bunch of new mask meshes and textures for Second Life. I will try to remember to share them on here if people are interested in seeing them. I adore making masks and I have been selling then in Second Life for quite a few years now.

We are also having another baby in a few months (we have a 2.5 year old and we are raising our 8 year old niece as well), so we will soon be a family of five! :) That does mean I am expecting that we will have another long quiet time here on Deviant and the other sites we play on, but we are still here! Just busy ;)

Hope you are all doing well, and have a Happy Halloween if I don't chat at you sooner!

Once again I have fallen far far behind on my various projects, though I think that maybe that is just my norm at this point ;)

I work full time doing flash graphics now, and am busy chasing around our 1 year old and 6 year old. We are also trying to squeeze in some indie game development and of course we continue to work on Second Life, Whirled, and Emerald Activities as time allows. I even plan to do some more blog entries at some point, lol. 2012 should be another busy year, and I look forward to watching everyone's amazing art.

Happy (late of course) New Year!

So... once again I haven't updated this thing in forever. Though this time I had a good excuse. On December 4, we became a family of four! Our new little boy is happy and healthy, though he does cut into my art time a bit.

At the moment he is sleeping in my lap while I work on my new obsession, paper dolls made in our Magic Makers! I can't believe it didn't occur to me sooner, but it is great for making them. The final size of the images is a little smaller than I would like (only 550 X 500) but we will fix that in the next version of the Magic Makers. In the mean time, enjoy this phase while it lasts, and feel free to make your own dolls. The magic makers can be found at emeraldactivities.deviantart.c… and www.emeraldactivities.com/make….

(If you need help with it, or have questions on the ones I have uploaded so far, just ask or check our new YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/user/EmeraldAc….)

So I just glanced at my profile and realized that I haven't posted anything here since August. Thats a long time :p

Halloween is my favorite time of year, so we normally have a lot going on at this time. This year we are pretty busy, so there won't be any epic costumes or anything. But we are decorating a friends house on a mardi gras/graveyard theme and making some masks for ourselves. I will try to post pics of them (and maybe of some of our older costumes too. We have gone as Lego and Mario characters and a few people have asked to see those.)

Of course, I couldn't neglect Emerald Activities on Halloween. So, I added a new pack of "Trick or Treat" pieces to the market, and we added some new pieces to the old Halloween 2009 pack as well. We will also be running Halloween contests and challenges all month.

If anyone makes Magic Maker images on a Halloween theme and posts them to Deviant, then let me know. I would love to have a folder of them in my favorites ;)
