From The Editor’s Desk

CGSociety’s first look at the ‘Killzone 2′ game was one of our most popular features of 2009! This week, we open our war chest and relink the Guerrilla Games story for another viewing. Later in the year of course, we collaborated with Art Director Jan-Bart van Beek to produce the ‘d! ‘artiste: Character Modeling 3′ book with Ballistic Publishing.

As many of you know, Ballistic Publishing has also released the ‘EXOTIQUE 5′character showcase book. As well as everything else we’ve opened EXPOSÉ 8 Call for entries, so get busy producing your next masterpiece.

Ballistic Publishing recently had some really cool feedback after a small shipping problem was sorted quickly. Here are some words from another happy customer:“You guys have the best customer service. Feels great to know that you truly care about your customers. =)” – Andreas Climent

CGSociety’s forum continues to fill with the most beautiful art from our community. Check out the latest 3D creation by Marius Kalytis, 2D illustration by Patrick Schemat and take part in one of the mini-challenges available.

This year promises to be another ground-breaking time for CGSociety.

Stay creative!
