Here's what it looks like for those too lazy to google (click it to make it larger):

Graphics Card: 2x Nvidia GTX 780M in SLI, 4GB GDDR5 each

CPU: Intel Core i7 4700QM 2.4GHz

RAM: 24GB DD3 at 1600MH

Storage: 750GB 7200RPM HDD + 64GB SSD Cache

Screen: 18.4" WLED, 1920x1080

Sound Card: 5.1 surround

If you're a sound guy you'll more likely than not check out the specs yourself and more likely than not understand them (unlike me). All I know is I needed a USB input, a large diafragm and something to look cool on the table...  

I was really excited about this one...it's a new phone!

I know, everyone has a nice one these days, but I long-needed an upgrade, so I got me a Samsung Galaxy S4 (white)! 

Fellow photographers here know that we always need more light. Especially if that light is powerful AND portable! So for my hobbyist needs I got me a Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT.

It already managed to survive a few falls but I've had no problems whatsoever with it - it always registers as an optical slave for me (didn't buy the RT Trigger yet) and the light is nice and consistent as well as bright if I need it to be. The build is really sturdy (posh plastic) and it's sealed for that use if shitty conditions. No complaints to CANON, as usual...

That's another great one - I've got me a new job as a 3D modeler!

Finally doing what I love, what I've been training to do for the last fuck-knows-how-many years... The job itself is really chill, I come in, eat when I want, listen to music while I work, etc. My boss is a really cool person who enjoys my work and is a great guy just to hand out with. Can't overstate how happy I am that I got the job!

Obviously I still have a LOT to learn when it comes to 3D, but finally reaching a stage where I can be properly employed to do it is just great.

I'm also learning a few other things, like web development, design, etc - all of which have already proved useful!

Why yes! I've recently been on holiday back home (that is Lithuania) for a tat over two weeks. It's been a lovely time, got together with my old friends,  spent some time with my family, ate some amazing food, snapped a few pics with my sister and bought some cool war memorabilia (I may post a pic or two later). A great time. The only regret is not beeing able to do any of my own stuff (work-wise) while being there as I didn't take my computer with me (the phone provided all the entertainment and pc-replacement I needed for the while).

Hope you like the way it turned out. I'm not so much a logo designer (3D modeler, duuh), but I guess I can dish out a thing or two when I need to. 

A fun fact - I started the snowflake as a 3D model because it was faster for me to model it and make it all symmetrical and then auto-trace the render than draw it from scratch in Illustrator!

Whatever gets the job done, right?

I congratulate you if you've actually read this entry so far (looking juct at the pictures only is cheating!). It takes me a crap-load of time to write these things, so I thank you for reading!

2013 has been a great year with a lot of great stuff and I can only hope that 2014 will be great too! I wish you guys all the best with your crusades into the world of art in 2014!

Hello, fellow deviants!

So even though when it comes to time I am about as tight as an under-sized pair of underwear, every now and then I still like to write-up a mash-up of what's going on to keep my fellows informed. So it was told so it shall be written!

Well, to begin with, if you are a facebook user, I strongly encourage you to check out my page where I post stuff as it happens, so you can see a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff before my work is even done, inspirational stuff, my personal findings, things that are never posted anywhere else, photoshoots and so on. If you'd like to ask me a question about anything or suggest topics for tutorials - that is a great place to do so as well!

If you were patient enough to read this journal as far as here, you will be happy to know, that I will be giving away a 100 points for free!
All you have to do is comment here and I will write down each user into a numbered list. Then the list numbers will be taken to random.org and one lucky winner will be showered with the prize!

Now, I have been reading a lot of stuff on reddit about my work and some people believe that the shop owner and me are not the same person and my artwork is being used there without my permission...which is kind of silly.
I assure you - it's all me, I wouldn't be promoting the shop otherwise, now would I?
If you have any inquiries about a certain product it is best you message me there for priority support, but you can always do it here in dA or on my facebook page as well (again, same person! ).

A tutorial on one of my works (not posted to deviantArt!):


I guess that's about it for now. Hope you've enjoyed reading all this!
As always - have a nice day!

Hello, fellow deviants!

I'm back from the dead again with a big announcement:
My little sister is now officially on deviantArt and Etsy!

She is new here, so please make her feel welcome


She's leaning into jewelry design, but she is a bit shy as she's just starting out the whole thing, so I'd appreciate it if you gave her current works a look and motivated her a bit

Here's a handful of her crafts:

:thumb352954446: :thumb352950272: :thumb352952907:

She is also on Etsy and can be found here: ETSY SHOP

I am counting on you all to give her a very warm welcome here!

And as always - have a nice day...

HELLO!!!

TODAY I HAVE SOLD MY FIRST-EVER PRINT!!!

Feels amazing that someone cares to have in their hands or on their wall something that was created by me

This is my little one that made me proud today:


I just wanted to share that. Also, the lucky person got the print at a very special price too
I hope more people will support me in making these in the future

CHEERS!
