Some of my tracks made it into the animation in Newgrounds made by Wad247
The Recruits Part 1

Check it out ^^

Also I made a extended remake of my dearest track: Happy End [extended remake]
Old versio: Happy End

Here is also a picture of a Soapstone tree playing a metallic violin (Violin is supposed to be rusty to give it a nice brown color as stratovarious violins have, however that pic is old, taken when I finished the project so its not rusty yet in the pic).
I made it for Artwork class in school :p It is bit over 1 meter tall and 178 kg heavy.

Check out >

I've recently started using Blender 3D-modelling program (used Rhinoceros before).
Decided to change because Rhinoceros is mainly for technical models and cannot be used for animating etc.

Anyway as a new fellow in world of Blender I have lil problem.
As you can see around the eyeholes surface is crippling lil bit. Ive tried many diff ways to get rid of it but simply changing node places is not enough.

So is there any Blender experts who would know good way to flatten or smoothen surfaces? Used to be easily doneable in rhinoceros.

Hellou.

Here is a picture I made with a drawing tablet:
http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/apprenticebla cksmith/you-have-been-poisoned

If you are gamer like me from 90s and so on or you simply like old games etc.
I bet you have seen red flashing text: "You have been poisoned" or "Poisoned" many times.
The idea of picture is based on that. I got some old memories of white skinned black haired woman giving me a health potion in some RPGish amiga 500 game back in 97-98. And when the player controlled Hero drank the potion, this woman turned her head and showd another side of her cheek which was cut open and tried to put together with few strings that still seemed to have blood stains... For 7-8 years old kid that was scary experience. Also game ended to that.
It was my first bad ending Ive ever seen and I liked it :p

As title says I bought new comp so there will be full lenght tracks with more advanced melodies in the near future.
I also have now FL studio 11 which seems to be lil buggy atm.

I am also trying to find someone who would like to be the vocalist :)
SO PM ME if you are intrested :)

I am looking a male or female who can sing (And I don't mean superskilled singer)
Also it would be perfect if you are good with spoken word like singing (example: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/531040 and have wide list of different "voices".

!!! I AM NOT PLANNING TO MAKE MONEY !!!
And because of that every track we make together is gonna be 100% free and freely downloable.

When I upload tracks we have made I will add both of us as equal makers of the track and will always give some extra advertise towards you and your account!

Since my last Newground account got banned (Rykhae) without any given reason (even after many tries of contacting mods and so on). I decided open another channel for my new tunes.

This time I won't use any samples even when those samples were given to puplic use legally...
I have also improved lil bit more and hopefully ppl will enjoy some of my tracks!

Anyway to the question: Why I am different from other producers?
Answer: Well I am not. Only different thing compared to major of muscians is that I make 99% only loops which leads to the question: Why?
Answer: I am still practising and trying to master many different styles, I have no sence of beat nor proper equipments. Yes I am using crappy acer laptop and cheap headset and I live in appartment middle of city so I cannot use my stereo system to find out those lil fails when playing without headset.

However I am planning to try to be a intro/outro "artist". So...

IF YOU HAVE something like youtube account where you put your own videos but don't want to use overused intros and outros that everyone have... Ask 1 from me. All I want is that you give all credist of the tracks to my name:

Apprentice Blacksmith or Aatu Heilimo

Also if you just want hear some styles combined together
example: Hardstyle violin, dubstep motorsaw, ambiend harp
or something more common like march music, emotional sounds, normal trance, house etc etc.
Just ask :)
