Blake Stone gets a glow up (PART 3)
InGame Now the naming and image dimension issues have been resolved, so I loaded the game and it worked perfectly! Drunk with power, I ran a quick and dirty (i.e. impatient) bulk upscale on every texture just to get the payout of seeing that… Continue Reading “Blake Stone gets a glow up (PART 3)”
“Extracting art from Blake Stone” is not a very funny title (Part 2)
Getting access to the art files is just the start…
Cork on a fork
This is Jiub. Jiub is the first person you see in Morrowind. He also has a fairly unique head so it was fitting to use him as my first experiment. Easy to test. This Jiub, being my first attempt, is a little crude compared… Continue Reading “Cork on a fork”
Tablet 2.0
Upgrade Over a month ago, the pen for my trusty Wacom Bamboo tablet (see first post ever) broke. This was quite disheartening as I love having an art tablet and it was hard to be motivated without it. After much research and reflection, I… Continue Reading “Tablet 2.0”

Wake up! You were dreaming.
Early on Back about 4 1/2 years ago, I had just gotten into computer graphic design. I spent the first 1/2 a year experimenting and learning how to use the editing software (GIMP). One of the games I messed with was Morrowind, my favorite game. It… Continue Reading “Wake up! You were dreaming.”
“I’m not dead yet!”
Not quitting Real life (RL) hits most enthusiast artists and game modders extra hard at some time or another, as it did me (I had the trifecta of work, family, and computer problems). Since most of us do this for fun, we have fit it into our leisure time. Some days, there is practically no free time. But… Continue Reading ““I’m not dead yet!””
The start of the gold rush….
The tool that saved the Arena Depixelization Project (ADP) Last post, I covered the Arena Font Editor, 1 of 3 tools that I use to edit TES:Arena graphics (and fonts). The font editor is part of the Arena Modding Suite by Hallfiry. The other… Continue Reading “The start of the gold rush….”
