Andrew has wanted to progress with a tablet for a while now and plans to develop a new style once he has his hands on one. I hope he keeps those really big, half-closed eyes, though. Congrats, Andrew!

I'll be posting every day from now until Christmas Eve, with daily Wacom winners and other assorted news.

Some of you have been curious to see pictures of the office progress. In December, 2005 we made this video where we tore down some walls in the office. A year later, I posted this thread about the latest destruction, as well as pictures of the finished conference room.

Two years later, here's another picture! This is a before and after of the back of the office, two years in the making. And yes, that is a giant SumoSac that people dive into. Go get one for Christmas!

So how much are you getting paid for constantly mentioning these sumo sacks Tom? :p

And Yeah, I've always followed MetalMavericks work, he's got a great distinctive style, but I'd love to see some improvement in his art, he defiantly deserves the wacom.

[Darksunda]

I've haven't watched some of his stuff in a while. The way he draws eyes make all his characters look awesome.

I never got paid, we just got a bunch of free SumoSacs so I try to return the favor whenever the opportunity arrises.

Aren't you in the NG office, Luis?

Can't you just get up, walk over to Tom and say this?

Also, I was hoping Tom would keep on adding to the Wacom threads on the BBS, so by Christmas there was only room for 1 or 2 normal threads on the first page.

oh yeah, congratulations, MetalMaverick

After years using the line and shape tools, it will be nice to see some Wacom experiments from him!

yeah I did'nt think you would have but goddamit it would have been a fun revelation.
I maintain the belief though, that the sac in the pic looks like a gigantic scrotum.

[HrMorgaes]
