Artist’s comment:
 
I gave it much thought and it seems I would benefit from this branching. We all would, hopefully. I’m not as powerful and strong to continue big projects at a snap of a whip, I gotta try and step-by-step it. It’s too often that I need to go back to basics. Why not give it more love. I’ll probably call it TAI (it’s not entirely correct but sounds nice :nod:)
 
And first of all, yes, it’s a big nod to the great classic Myst/Riven. And it’s for a reason.
 
It takes me back to the days of childhood when I got familiar with these games. I wasn’t obsessed with these but I love them and they left a serious imprint in my heart.
 
The character Atrus… The Creator. He is a very inspiring idol. A praise to intelligence, imagination and wisdom. A source, a process and a preservation. No matter the area, these are the basics of any art.
 
Back then I got the seed of creation in me. I was just doodling in MS Paint of Win 3.1 and 98. I was dreaming of creating my own games. Where you could look around, see all the details, move. Where all the world would be created with everything that I know. It didn’t go too far and I just had to pick a more narrow path in my life. Can’t sit on 12 chairs at once, right? ^^;
 
So programming remains in my dreams. Maybe in the next life. I’d love to do that and I could but… time, time is everything. Not hard to do, hard to choose. Although I was good at programming, as little as I did. Solving mathematical and logical problems to make things work my way was so much fun. Early Java Script and then Flash/Action Script. Childish, I know. =D
 
Anyway, I won’t describe that project here, I’ll do it as I add pages to it. How would I put it in general?… It’s a bit of backstage. The cogs and separate details of imagination. Ingredients that make the final product. What I once dreamed I would be able to do… and now, put the flaws and never-ending growth aside, I’m actually able to. :nod:
 
“Some may call this junk. Me, I call them treasures”
 
I hope this side project would inspire someone. It will probably have no end, it’s just on the same path as everything else that I draw. We’ll see. I’m curious myself. =D
