      I have been working on the newest version of Simcity, designing and concepting architecture.

      That's a cool news! β˜€

      That is awesome! Sim City has to be one of my all time favorite games.

      Thank, Bryan. I hope I will be able to post some images in the near future.

      **Hey guys,

      I hope all is well.

      I just had an interview with Nomer from Nomeradona Sketchup Vray Resources. Most of you probably heard of him. He is one of the best Vray for Sketchup users out there. Anyway, I would like to thank him for the interview.

      You can read more here:**

      There are a few images that were not posted anywhere else, but exclusively for this interview, like the one below.

            >> Hi Damien. Thanks for your nice comment. I am glad you are able to learn a trick or two from my sketchup models. Feel free to ask questions. However, it might take a little bit of time for an answer since I am quite busy with work and family.

                        Hi guys,

                        Long time no post.

                                    Awesome work!

                                    Cant wait to see what your input/work is in SimCity 😎

                                    **Thanks for your kind words, Ronald. I hope I will be able to post some of my building concepts I did for Simcity 5 soon.

                                    Here are some fairy house concepts.**

                                    Happy holidays to you, your family and loved ones!

                                      They might be a little bit drafty, but they are very nice!

                                          Hello everyone,

                                          I went to my archived files and I digged out one of my first tasks working on the MMO Rift. It was back in early 2006, almost 7 years ago.

                                          The first image is the conceptual model that was approved by the Art Director, although I kind of like the second one which is a little bit more fantasy.

                                          Have a great day!

                                          The approved conceptual model from 2006 was later re-used and redesigned into a different fortress about two years later. I did post some images earlier in this thread. But this is the one I was referring to in case you have not seen it.
