ok, last week is already over and I can make a clear statement, that goal not to use the Internet has reached a failurenessss level of 30 out of hundred. Good enough ;)

forgot to specify the correct time for this render before going to sleep. This one took only 4 hours. Scene 3 Take 25..

Y U NO efficient???

2012-01-02T02:10:00.006+02:00

thats it! a week without internet, except gtalk and serious stuff (facebook and 9gag not included) in extra cases

got a bad feeling that 2012 are going to be a great year! If the world doesn't end of course

Still far from the finish line! I mean far from finishing the project, not the finish day itself, which is really close. Time, u scary.

2011-05-06T23:29:00.005+03:00

By posting this I'm trying to pull myself off of archicad at least for a couple of minutes. The render is just a scratch, plenty of planning, modeling and texturing to do, nothing to show actually (yet). Time flies and I still have too much to do! I feel pretty much like those guys in the clip, totally slo-mo that is.

It's always nice to go to the market ant listen to everyone complaining about how life sucks, how the country is getting empty, how batteries are getting low too fast when it's cold, how bastards in the government are forcing to use cash registers - yeah, I really need to know all of this this stuff when I buy a peace of bread. Thank you all, you were great.

I have this old prehistoric wacom tablet for almost two years already. Too bad it's just lying there gathering dust without any use. So, recently I've decided to learn how to use it and hopefully to get somewhat better at it at some point. Anyway, my first sketches are posted down there \/, will upload some more, when they're done of course

It's lying there, had changed a bit over the time, but still more or less the same. Same as people, only the path is way longer and less drama. Wondering how it's all gonna be after 20 years or so, not really wanting to know, just wondering, oh well, we'll see.

Topic anyone?

2010-03-11T21:57:00.010+02:00

I like DigiArt. A lot. Of course would like to learn doing that. If anybody has a bright or stupid (even better) idea on a topic that I should start with, please write it down in a comment, in this way I would be finally forced to begin with something. But I guess eventually I'll think of something myself because nobody's reading this anyway:D. (I'm not sure if I would like somebody to follow this blog, because it's more like a gallery to myself, but on this topic - be my guest, some attention would be a good thing!)

Sightseeing

2010-02-23T22:26:00.009+02:00

Had a walk last Saturday in the north/west side of Brussels. At first went to a market which works at the weekends, something like "Kalvarijų turgus" back in Lithuania, found a Russian kiosk there so at last bought some proper food, their kitchen is quite similar to Baltic one. Only the first picture is from this market, I was told there that Muslim people doesn't like to be photographed. The actual sightseeing started at the flea market, from there took an elevator to get to the lower part of Brussels and went North-East direction. Trip ended up in Laeken (part of Brussels I live in). Despite the fact that Brussels is quite a dirty city it has some very beautiful parks where people play football, have picnics and chill out, too bad it's hard to show the vibe in a picture.
Would like to get my bike here, should be a very handy tool in this city. By the way, there's a concrete skate park down town and I would really like to try it out:)..

Erasmus in Belgium, Brussels

2010-02-17T17:31:00.011+02:00

So, here comes a short summary. I'm in Brussels, got here last Tuesday, studying at Sint-Lucas school of architecture, live about 3,5 km from my school, I could take a tram to go there, but as long as I have a tiny budget and don't have any other physical activities- I walk, takes about 30min, not too long anyway.
Street I walk:

This weekend I've been to town named Aalst, not too far from Brussels. Quite a nice looking town but.. that's not the point about it. There was this carnival, actually a pretty wierd one. Don't know what's the story of it but looks like some kind of a Valentine's day's parody. There were so many participants, mostly men, that I didn't even wait till the end of the carnival, it was almost endless. Seemed like all of the Aalst's men would have dressed as women or something, each of them grabbed a couple of beers and went out to the street.

Winter at railway

2010-01-31T02:23:00.000+02:00

Minus 10 celsius, blizzard, in some places snow is knee deep and we're going for a photo walk somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Sounds crazy, but surprisingly it turned out to be a pretty good day. Walked a few kilometers around one of Vilnius' industrial areas. Later weather changed from a blizzard to a calm evening with a clear sky.

End of the first semester

2010-01-31T01:13:00.002+02:00

Bones and architecture. Pencil, spray paint, ink.
Of course graphic tasks are necessary while studying architecture, but, in my opinion, current tasks are quite far from what they supposed to be and not suited for 3rd academic year, more like 1st or 2nd. Still lots of work to do while making studying quality at Vilnius Art Academy better and up-to-date. The good thing is that cunstructing bones is someway related to architecture, organic and nonorganic contructs. Second good thing is that using ink makes you to value blots as much as lines and makes you feel more relaxed while sketching.
But I would love to get tasks more related to showing and introducing your architecture idea in different ways, creating a project layout and learning something extra about modeling and of course something about the potencial client's psychology, it's no secret that successful project alone is not worth much without a proper presentation. And if digiart was included.. or I'm asking too much:). I guess it's hard to find an up-to-date professional who would agree to work with students considering the salary they're offered..

Some non-drawing more important things:

2009.09.28 Lithuanian downhill cup

2010-01-31T00:20:00.001+02:00

The event took place in Vilnius, Liepkalnis, Laimis hill. I think it's possible to call this event a beginnig of Lithuanian downhill scene. There are no mountains here in Lithuania, only a couple of hills, definitely not a perfect place to ride downhill but we've got big ambitions and we're happy that it's not 100% flat out here:). The bright side is that Vilnius has the biggest percentage of forests compared to any other capital in Europe! So.. not that bad:)).
Culmination of the day - award ceremony, champagne, joy, gangsta rap and afterparty!
There were some problems with my photo equipment that day, therefore not too much of media. At least got a chance to see the event with my own eyes and not through the camera lens and didn't need a whole day for photo editing..:)

2009.09.20 one day ride

2010-01-31T00:03:00.002+02:00

Friends training a few days before first Lithuanian dh cup race in Vilnius. Meanwhile I still don't have a bike, gotta stick with camera:). Getting more and more into sport photography

2009.09.15. Germany, Austria, France

2010-01-30T23:36:00.000+02:00

Last summer. Working in Germany as a slave or a vegetable, you name it:)). Job was nothing to be proud of, but weekends and all the free time was quite something - journeys, parties, riding..

2009.06.19-22. Trip to Estonia, Kutiorg

2010-01-30T23:11:00.000+02:00

Baltic downhill cup stage 2 took place in Estonia, Kutiorg.
Before organizing a downhill race in Lithuania it's useful to check out neighbour's downhill courses, see how organizing of such an event looks like, hug an Estonian tree, taste some Estonian mud, feed Estonian mosquitos and have a swim in a pond with Estonian tadpoles.
Eight people and a dog in a camper. The journey started in early afternoon, before leaving the city we've made a stop at a shop, raised Lithuanian economy by buying too much food from our long list and happily drove farther. Reached the destination next day at 5 am. Despite having only a half of hour long sleep we thought that it's a good idea to check out the courses right away, probably for better sleep later. After a few more hours of sleep the training ride has begun. I wasn't riding, just taking pics, I don't have a downhill bike yet, not much to choose from here in Lithuania and prices are mad high.. Anyway, wasn't alone without a gear to ride, so it was still fun to wander around while chatting and looking for better angles. The only thing that messed up the weekend a bit was an injury that had put our fastest guy out of the race. Front wheel got washed out on a corner and rider ended up with a broken collarbone. Good thing that this guy is a G and a fighter so despite this serious injury we were able to stay there for one more day as planned.
Despite the fact that none of our riders got to the podium and that damn injury.. all of us had a wonderful time there and waiting for something like that next year!
There's soo much pics from the weekend, too much to post here so here's a few of them:

2009.04.10 Trip to Trakai

2010-01-30T01:51:00.000+02:00

At last snow is gone and getting quite warm. Weather is perfect, not a single cloud. Just about time for a season-opening trip! Spring trip to Trakai is becoming almost a tradition. Trakai with it's castle in the island of Galve lake is one of the most beautiful places in Lithuania and has a rich history as as well - once it was a capital of Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Anyway, back to the trip:). Some of us got there by train, some by car. Put on the protective gear, assembled our bikes back together and gone for a ride. Trakai is quite a small town and it's more tourist than rider friendly, but you can find a couple of good spots for riders: skatepark, drops, stairsets, walls, curbs..
As always, a few pictures attached. I'm the guy with red t-shirt doing barspin and footjam

2009.03.08Trip to Nida.

2010-01-30T01:24:00.001+02:00

One friend of mine had decided to celebrate his birthday 350km from home in one of the most beautiful Lithuania's resorts - Nida. It has the biggest sand dune in the region. Temperature was somewhere around zero celsius, not too hot but a good company is all that matters. Truly a wonderfu l ti me.
