Everyone Loves Diamonds ^_^

Well those who showed I have to say it was great creating the characters diamonds with you guys.
Just to recap last fridays meeting was a great exercise in character ideation we use a method known as character design diamonds where we basically take 2 or more cliche design types and pick and merge their attributes with other cliches thus creating a new hybrid design. It was a very education experience. Well until the next meeting you guys keep an eye out o_x.

Keep an Eye out 0_*

Keep an eye out for the next dsu meeting guys. We should be having it if not at the end of this month, then some time early march. In other news Cgtalk has released its finalist and winners list for the steam punk competition and I have to say the entries are extremely impressive so swing on over and check that out when you get a chance.
