The Netherlands

[Merlin]

I'll join the next meeting. This is awesome, every month!

[H.H.V.]

Isn't sunday an option? Everybody is free then right? Maybe we should make a list of dates and then we can say what dates people can come and then discide wich date has the most people on it or something like that.

[Gilles]

The last sketchgroup was awesome... it was so nice to meet all of you!

Okay, the 10th of june sounds like a plan... this time we need to kick Pablo's and Eric's butt to join us!

Weekends are far better than weekdays for most people. And if you still wanna have one during the week than you're free do have one as well. But the one in the weekend with all the really cool people will be held as well. :)

[EVIL]

10th of june is a plan indeed! I can come then

[ThrillzillA]

yupz fine by me too , nice you could join EVIL :^^:. So where are we meeting???

[JaïnvanNigtevegt]

Allright, things are starting to pick up:

now we are once again coming together and the date has been set to

saturday the 10th of June

meeting point: Utrecht centraal Meetingpoint (up the stairs center of the hall)

time:

Merlin
Gilles
Evil
Thrillzilla

[EVIL]

[Robot]

Damn, have to work on the 10th of june, i'll see if can get free somehow, don't wanna miss this one either.....

Robot

[ThrillzillA]

good.. will there be chicks?

Accept for Noë there are non. So people bring your sisters along!!

[Noë]

So there won't be chicks there :) for now cos I can't go.
Won't coockiedough be there? She's a chick right?

love
Marleen

[Gilles]

...No girls?

I though Jain was going to order some women?! For reference of course... right!

Another assignment for Jain; get some cheap booze!!! This time we need to get a bit drunk so we can do instant Marko poses!!!
Most of the homies (buyakashja) here at Streamline are in aswell.

[Floris Didden]

Resecpt.

[D.Labruyere]

great :D

[Merlin]

Alright!

[H.H.V.]

I will try to come!

[JaïnvanNigtevegt]

ahem ahem, about the women thing, it might pose a problem, have not got a lot of girls in the neighbourhood willing to pose i guess.

cheap beer is not a problem, and more is just around the corner, 5 minute walk from AH.

so hendrik is still pending...

most of the streamline guys is wi_2, skureal, ramon?

and floris, that restecp, was that a yes?

update the list later on.

[Floris Didden]

It was a reaction to Gilles, but I don't see why I shouldn't be able to come on the 10th.

[H.H.V.]

We can always buy our beer in the local pumpstation.:rolleyes:

[Skureal]

Well i can offer you guys a day at our place. In Amsterdam again, but it is something special and everybody could draw other houseboats by beer and sitting on deck.
Something for the future or right after the next meeting. It is one of the bigger ships, like shown on the left side:

Henrik

[Cookiedough]

I'm not promising. The last time i really wanted to come, but due to something unexpected i couldn't make it. I'll try to make it to the next dutch drawing session... thing is i'm still trying to graduate (1 year late already, ouch), so that really stresses me out. Cos i usually work 4 days a week, for the moment 3 days, i really have to invest in this schoolcrap.

Are any of you going to Stripdagen Haarlem (http://www.stripdagenhaarlem.nl/)? Ik sta bij een standje flyertjes uit te delen, dus kom 's wat zwaaien terwijl je coole comics scoort! :^^: Ik maak stripjessssss..... ofzo (werk bij uitgeverij gespecialiseerd in graphic novels).

BTW: that boat is neat. Daggie zon is altijd fijn!

[wi_2]

yes .. yah for our boat.. we should definatly do one there on a sunny day..

for now.. im in for 10th in utrecht.
weee..

[TidalWave]

Damn, I'm in Greece the 10th of June - I'll be celebrating the end of my exams there...
Hopefully next time...

[JaïnvanNigtevegt]

H.H.V. : hah, sound plan, guess i won't have to haul in that crate then ;)

Skureal : that boat would be a very good idea indeed

Can't wait to have a little party going, I need one by the time I finished this year of hard work, little sleep and an unhealthy amount of behind a computerscreen time.....:xpld: so yeah I guess the idea of the boat will be one I courteously accept!!!


(to be a complete nerd over here, does anyone have a nintendo DS bring it so I can challenge thee to a duel!)

[Merlin]

Can't wait either. The boat is a cool idea.

[ThrillzillA]

So from what time are we welcome Jaïn?

[D.Labruyere]

and where do you live?? I've never been in Utrecht before (yeah twice, but that doesn't really count. . . ) so how do I know who you guys and where you are?? :S

[EVIL]

we all wear a red rose :P

[D.Labruyere]

ah great. . . :D

[JaïnvanNigtevegt]

damn it seems tough to scroll up in a topic :), but for the ones who are persistent in their browsing behaviour, i'll repost the time and place where we'll meet, after initial contact i'll take you by your red rosed hands and guide you to my house. won't that be swell.

meeting point: Utrecht centraal Meetingpoint (up the stairs center of the hall)

time:
16:00 we will wait a timespan of like, 15-20 minutes for those who are running late

the beer will be cooling in my refrigirator

see you then :)

everything clear now?

[artificial_green]

Hey great, a dutch sketchgroup! I'll see if I can join you guys some time. Not the 10th, anyway.

[bizarre]

hesitant, as i'm rusty, but... put me in as an unconfirmed. i don't know who has the car that day- the entire family+1 shares 2 cars during all hours of the day... it's difficult.

+Geertje
+bizarre
+Hyver(i told him about it)

[Hyver]

might be able to hop over.. what's the plan exactly?

[bizarre]

that's what i'm wondering- the plan so far is that everyone meets at a rendezvous point- designated U.C.M. , and then rolls out to- where? after the set waiting point for stragglers

will this be at someone's house? a bar? a strip club? where???

[D.Labruyere]

after initial contact i'll take you by your red rosed hands and guide you to my house. won't that be swell.


there it is where we will be guided to.

[Floris Didden]

Jaïn, your place big enough for this many people? We could hit the city if it gets too crowded.

[Hyver]

i like houses.. what timeframe are we talking about here? couple hours? the whole night? trippin' on the tardis?

[Gilles]

Damn... 16:00 is kinda late, I have a party to go to in the evening. But if people take the effort to drive all the way from Belgium then I shouldn't bitch.

I'm looking forward to meeting up with you guys, this is going to be fun!

[Floris Didden]

I have a party to go to in the evening.
Again? :wink:

[Hyver]

don't change any plans on my account - i guesstimate my chances of being there at about 50% ;)

[H.H.V.]

As It is now, I will also be present. I don't know if I am able to be on time, but I will keep contact with Jaïn.

Are we going to nachtbraak?

[Gilles]

Again? :wink:

I'm a well know party animal!!! Everybody wants me on their party, else it would be boring as hell! :wink:

No worries, I'll be there! I just have to leave around eleven or so...

[JaïnvanNigtevegt]

Well, the plan is that we're going to be getting ourselves at least a couple of beers at my place, tolsteegsingel 53(googlemaps or something), which is through town, along the oudegracht and through the twijnstraat, i live near 'het ledig erf' which holds a couple of bars and terasses near nature if it really gets too crowded, which is pretty unlikely (my room can support i think up to 12 - 14 people) there will be a crate of beer waiting so, i suggest we at least finish of that, and there's a AH nearby.

so in short, the plan is to draw a lot for as long as you like untill about i guess 12 -ish, which is partytime for those who desire to run rampant in utrecht.

Ooh and if anybody needs a phone number to reach us feel free to call me.

Call me on; 06-27523422 I'll remove this number after saturday.

[Cookiedough]

Sorry, won't be able to make it. Have fun guys!

[Cyanid]

lol this is awesome!
not really active in the conceptart community atm, but great idea!

[my_mind_on_my_money]

Hi guys A question have you guiys ever though of making a comic? I have a great script ( Plot) for a manga and if you guys want i can send it to you so we can make this great manga together. Its really a great script and a lotta friends of mine luv it but they dont draw. By preference someone who lives in Eindhoven or nearby. If you live far away but interessed just call me.

[Skureal]

I'm in...
cya tomorrow

[Ramon Contini]

16:00 is way too late imo, but too late now :). Meet y'all then, I too will be leaving for evening party's.

[ThrillzillA]

Jupz also got a party tomorrow evening, try and stay as long as possible..... but a party with free snacks and drinks and drunk girls dancing on tables waving their tops is kinda hard not to go to....... (although it will probably end with everybody playing scrabble....).

[D.Labruyere]

12 hours to go :| damn I've got to sleep >.<

[Floris Didden]

16:00 is a bit late. But I'll be there, got enough to do till then anyho.

[JaïnvanNigtevegt]

16:00 is late indeed, but, not thát late, and changing it now would only be making the early ones stay at CS for a couple of hours. not to nice.

next one will be in the ealry afternoon then, but we'll have to wait for the boatsmen to plan that.

just a few hours to go!, i'm off to get beer and such, only 24 in one crate though..
cu guys

[bizarre]

ja i just called to confirm that smoking IS, in fact, allowed indoors. and- does anyone need a ride home that lives between Utrecht and Amsterdam?

oh- confirming, Geertje and i are coming.

[ThrillzillA]

hmmmz is it possible to go and sketch somewhere with a lot of fresh air.... a park or something? Because 13 people in a room with this weather sounds like it will be a bit ..... warm.

[Floris Didden]

hmmmz is it possible to go and sketch somewhere with a lot of fresh air.... a park or something? Because 13 people in a room with this weather sounds like it will be a bit ..... warm.

A bit sweaty and HOT <3.

I mean, let's chill outside.

[ThrillzillA]

A bit sweaty and HOT <3.

I mean, let's chill outside.

I can just hear the seventies porn music playing in the background.....

[EVIL]

:o first one back..! It was great! I'l be coming to the next one .. when? when?

I think I'l need to make a habbit out of it :D

[bizarre]

EVIL- you were there? which one were you?

heh, i love how we walked around for half an hour, trying to find some place that had light- all the while passing lightpost after light post, plaza after plaza, and then finally ending up in a doorway of a post office. with 19 people, sharing a single fluorescent lightbulb. oh- and the ambiance of a cover band, playing 70's and 80's music at ungodly volumes- i'm glad i know basic NATO and American sign language- otherwise i wouldn't have been able to speak to my girlfriend who was sitting right next to me.


meh, i'm just a bit bitter because i was lugging the vodka, the water, and the beer for a while.

had fun- let's plan the future ones a bit better, though.

[Merlin]

It was very cool. Nice to meet all of you. What was the name of that artist Phil Hill or something, that book from bizarre. Can't find anything from him on the internet.

Maybe the next meeting a bit earlier.

[Ramon Contini]

I enjoyed the sketchgroup, although I agree we should plan things out a bit better next time. Just pinpointing the places to eat and drink in advance would help. Also I suggest starting off earlier.

I'm sure like many of you, Phil Hale opened new doors for me. (good call to bring that little book Damian;)) In all, I'm left just as amazed by the quality of his work, as the tremendous influence he injected on a global scale. I'm not sure if I can look at a Marko or Foster in quiet the same way now. Funny how some artist jigsaws can complete the puzzle. Norman Rockwell, Egon shiele, and Now Phil Hale...

Peace,

R.

[bizarre]

the book was called Goad: the many moods of Phil Hale

it's too bad the rest of my books are back in the U.S.

was fun, all in all, but next time we need location scouts. it's easy to hang out with 3 people. 5, even. but 14 people? it becomes a bit of an unpleasant situation for logistics.

Let me throw this out right now just so i can get an idea of who might be interested- July workshop in Aartswoud.

[Skureal]

Not 100% sure, but i guess on the 24th of July we could chill out on the houseboat than. I really hope it will be sunny like this weekend, so we can sit on deck and drink beer and draw an "entire" day. Meeting 1 o'clock at amsterdam centraal station. Let me know what you guys think about that date.

Henrik

[EVIL]

bizarre, I was the one with the army green popeye t-shirt and the blue shoulderbag, skinny fellah :D

the book of phill hale can be ordered on a belgium online bookstore http://www.proxis.be that delivers to the netherlands to, its 33 euro's, money well spent on such an inspirational book imo
http://oas2000.proxis.be/gate/jabba.coreii.g_p?bi=4&sp=DETAILS&mi=3943471&si=82463931 direct link

and I am thinking of going to every and each sketchgroup meeting, so count me in bizarre

[Isobel]

I don't know If I can make 24th it's a monday but I'll try.
count me in!

[D.Labruyere]

it was awesome guys :)

[Skureal]

Sorry my fault, i meant 24th of this Month of course

[Floris Didden]

I'm there.

[EVIL]

hell, why not .. I'l be there

[Gilles]

I'll be there as well... and this time I won't have a hangover.

PS. it was an awesome but chaotic meeting.

[Noë]

I think my boss doesn't want me to have that saturday off also, but he always whines about me taking a few days off.. Even though I'll be working for him for 5 weeks of my summer vacation!
Hmmm I guess I'll just tell him I want the day off..

Sooooo I think I'll be there, but I'm not completely sure.

But ermmm, I haven't seen any sketches from this last meeting from you...
Be sure to post it here (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=67890)!.

love
Marleen

[Floris Didden]

If you wanna see art, you should've been there!


I'd post my stuff, but skureal has most of it, in his sketchbook, hah. I'll post his stuff from my sketchbook if he wants me too ).

[JaïnvanNigtevegt]

People, thanks all for coming etc, sorry for the chaos around the location, should've planned that :bashful: But still, i enjoyed myself a whole lot, nice to meet some of you i hadn;t met before.

that saturday 24th skureal, i'm in.

cheers

[Merlin]

I'll be there the 24th.

[Ramon Contini]

In...

[Rudeone]

Hiya guys, kinda OT but I think this should be very interesting for you guys.

The course Communication & Multimedia Design at the Noordelijke Hogeschool Leeuwarden is organizing a two days multimedia festival in Leeuwarden on the 28th and 29th of june.
This festival will feature game art and design and there will be a few guest speakers who are working in this field.
One of the confirmed speakers/lecturers is Daniel Dociu (www.tinfoilgames.com), a very experienced and talented art director and concept artist from the US who's currently working for Arena net (Guild Wars) for those who don't him. Daniel told us he will also bring along his son who also has a lot of experience in this field according to Daniel (I'm assuming it's Horia Dociu, a member of the GW team aswell, not exactly sure cause he didn't specify that yet)
Most likely this will be on the 28th of june, no specific time yet.
Entry fees will be 5 euro.

Basicly I'm trying to get an estimation on how many visitors to expect.
There will be room for about a 100 people, hopefully more.
So maybe it would be best if you PM me if you would like to come because I don't want this to stand in the way of the current sketch meeting appointments.
There won't be a list with visitors as far as I know, everyone is more than welcome to come, I just need a rough estimation on the numbers of people.

More details will follow soon.

[wi_2]

sweet.. im in too..
hehe..

yeh


and rudeone.. seems interesting..
but i have to work :).

[Floris Didden]

Rudeone, that sounds very interesting. They posted the work they did for guildwars a while back, but removed it. Gonna try to be there so I can push em to repost it :P.

[ThrillzillA]

I will be there the 24th!

[Duq]

i'm really insecure and camera shy these days. *EVIL notes to pack a camera

[Noë]

hey nice pictures! :)
It's always good to have your own photo camera with you if you're camera shy ;) Been there, done that :P lol nevermind.

So no-one posted their sketches in the special dutch sketchgroup thread huh?
You should be ashamed!
I'm still not sure if I can make it saturday, will probably know it on tuesday.

Love
Marleen

[Rudeone]

Rudeone, that sounds very interesting. They posted the work they did for guildwars a while back, but removed it. Gonna try to be there so I can push em to repost it :P.

Yeah I know, luckily I was just in time to save em all in my 'inspiration' folder on my HD :P
I need to get that collectors edition artbook and have it signed by these guys 8)

I should have more info tomorrow and I'll post the website aswell, it's called Exposure festival BTW.

[Cyanid]

the pictures look awesome...someone mind if I join?

where, how late, how do I reckognize you?

[Rudeone]

Hi guys, I have more info on the Exposure festival/workshop thingie.

The festival starts on the 28th of june.
Location: Crystallic in Leeuwarden (there's a map and route explenation on the website)
Entry fees: 5 euro.
Doors are open at 10:00 in the morning.
Daniel Dociu (and probably Horia Dociu aswell) will kick off somewhere between 10:15 and 11:00 (more specific time follows later).
After noon there will be two guys from Streamline studios and two guys who are working on the Spellborn MMORPG. Subjects: concept art and 3D modeling.
In the evening there will be music performances by Miss November, GEM and Pete Philly & Perquisite.
Website: http://www.exposure-festival.com/

So guys come and visit the festival and bring your skecthbooks ;)

[ThrillzillA]

Now start offering your pets to receive the good-weather blessings from our gods...

[Cyanid]

check!

and I just offered my dog.

[Gilles]

Great! that dog didn't do any good, I offered my cat... no good too since the forecast doesn't look so good. Skureal told me that it's going to be hard to have so many people inside of the boat, as long as the weather is fine we can sit outside on the boat. If the weather is bad (40% chance on sun and 40% chance on rain, max 20c' min 10c') we can go to "de Balie" near LeidschePlein. It's has enough space and is very light... no cheap beers I'm afraid.

...

[EVIL]

I drowned my pet whale on the beach

[Cyanid]

I burned my mannequin...which actually was like a child to me.

de Balie is fine I think...till how will we be drawing? sunday morning?

[Gilles]

Sunday morning sounds like a plan! ;)

[Ramon Contini]

Feeling like Saturday :)

Btw, Rhemrev from Triumph will be joining too, and I'll bring 1 or 2 more artists if they don't back out.

[Noë]

Hey there :)
I got the day off, so I'll be there.. Will go to the Waterlooplein beforehands I think.
I won't stay on the boat with you guys for very long though.. My boyfriend and I arranged that he's going to shop with a girly friend of his in Amsterdam, and we'll go back to Meppel (where he lives) at approximately 17.00 u or something? (we have to talk that over tonight). I know it's kind of short, but I think it's good. I'm scared to meet all of you people I never met before (except for Ramon) anyways, so it's kind of good that I'm not staying for very long mebbe.

Wow.. How do I type so much?
Love,
Marleen

[Duq]

forgot I'm working on saturday :<

I think I can be there around 17:00. But I need to be able to find all of you guys then

Don't be afraid, we're a friendly bunch, just look at this picture (http://student-kmt.hku.nl/~floris1/art/foto/adam/Afbeelding-012.jpg), aren't we adorable? ;)

Cool that you're coming along.

Ciao,

Floris

[D.Labruyere]

I must say that the third from the left looks a bit scary :P

[Floris Didden]

If by scary you mean dead sexy, then yes, truly terrifying :P.

[Noë]

lol! So adorable :scribble: :lineart:

But erhmm, if you're traveling by train, and you're planning to leave after 18.00 u and your train ticket would cost more than 4,75... Then you can buy train tickets at Kruidvat.. It's a really good deal; you get two train tickets for €9,50 and you can use them only after 18.00 u.

I already bought 4 enveloppes (= 8 tickets), but I'm going to use 4 this weekend so maybe I should buy more.
I'll be leaving you at about 18.00 u.
Is the houseboat far away from the train station?

Love
Marleen

[ThrillzillA]

Where exactly is it? I'm staying in Amsterdam so maybe I can skip the whole rendezvous at amsterdam centraal?

[EVIL]

Where exactly is it? I'm staying in Amsterdam so maybe I can skip the whole rendezvous at amsterdam centraal?
and drink all the beer before we arive right.. bastard.. not gonnah happen.

[Cyanid]

and what if oranje has to play 21:00 vs. Mexico?
small chance, but maybe its fun to watch.

edit: never mind ...

I have a all night-sponsored-volleyball-tournament the night before...so I will be kind of tired...:D ah well...red bull solves lots of problems.

[JaïnvanNigtevegt]

my spidersense is tingling, better call umbrella corp. for supplies

[Isobel]

guys
I think I can make it but in the evening I have a birthday, so I ask how far is it to the trainstation?
If it's not too far I cam come

[Skureal]

Walking takes maybe 12 Min. but there is also a bus stop really close so don't worry...

In case this place will get spammed with drunk post's, I'l type this post in big bold red letters so no one will miss it.

If anyone is interested in the 'Phil Hale' book that Damien had us lend a peek in, then you can order it at the following online store. I think its free shipping for products over 25 euro's and they deliver it all over europe I think

here is the direct link

Enjoy!

[JaïnvanNigtevegt]

oof...

my head asplode

and my neck is burnt.

Floris is doing okay imo, he was recovering and sleeping when I left.

next time a nice organisation would be cool, with real workshopsessions and models. Don't know how much the group will shrink once people have to start paying up though.

good times and quality stuff people, though at the end things were starting to get real strange :D....

[bizarre]

i woke up this morning with a sore asshole. Jain... what happened?


Geertje and i are planning a sg meeting in Aartswoud- map.com where aartswoud is, bitches- your guess is as good as mine. all i can say is it's about 2 million miles east of Massachusetts.

there are a few elements at play here- the chance of relaying an invitation to one of the higher-echelon pros, the factor of having a minimum # of people to not lose $, and a maximum- for the sake of comfort.

it's possible to ferry 6 people at a time from the train station/bus station to our house, but doing this all day will eat up gas as well.


so- Aartswoud SG Meeting- further details will come soon.

ciao.

[Isobel]

Haha
you guys are just...well...F* it
I had a nice time yesterday.
And I am willing to help for the next meeting! So if any help is needed gimme a sign. And btw will anyone post some pictures?

i'll get a map worked out soon- i'll make a pinboard (for reals y'alls, like on paper, with push pins) and we'll be able to calculate travel costs and such- train routes, whatever, so we can adjust workshop entrance fees and sketchgroup food/water/beer money fees.

if people chip in, we can start hiring real models, real instructors, hell, even rent places.

[EVIL]

damn, if we get bigger and bigger we need to try and steal conceptart.nl from erik and open a pure dutch sketchbook messageboard lol ..

[D.Labruyere]

:o me => Roosendaal

[Robot]

Oh man, that to be like the best sketchgroup ever. Guys/Girls who left early, you mist a hell of a lot of good stuff....

Oh yeah, my data:

Robot - Schijndel

David, MORE drinking? You left early, so you didn't experience Floris, but i'm voting for less alcohol, more drawing....the whole workshop idea sounds cool, i don't care if it costs some money, it will be worth it...

About the name thing, i got some cool ones:

Robot's Bitches/Ho's
Small White (and a cat as a logo)
Less Drinking, More Drawing (Floris can be the logo)
Conceptfart.org
The Dutch Bunch
I.N.D.I.D.M.P. (I'm Not Drunk, I'm Doing Marko Poses)
Pixelfallus (Jason Manley actually wanted to give Massive Black this name, before they had the idea of naming it Massive Black)
Art 'n Stuff
Dutch Zombie Monkey Pirates
More to come.... (yeah, this is an idea for a name)
Etc. Etc.

Anyway, looking forward to the next meeting, see y'all then

[Rudeone]

Kablam... next time were gonna need to organize it almost like a official workhop. the group is growing like a mo-fo. Rent a place, get some industry proffesionals to give some workshops and get some models... or is that just to much?

That's exactly what me and some other guys trying to acomplish overhere.
Our school (NHL in Leeuwarden, multimedia course) wants game design and development to be one of the major subjects within the course and they wanted to organize workshops with industry pro's so we started to set up a plan, talked to a few cool people and even visited the Gnomon school in Hollywood during the first Gnomom live workshops to make contacts and see how they do it (and of course on a personal level learn from the pro's, get our portfolios viewed and check out the cool city of LA :D ).
Anyway we were right in the middle of setting up this first workshop when we ran into difficulties (I won't go into detail, but there was a lot of miscommunication) so things didn't work out then. Somehow we did manage to schedule some lectures in during the Exposure multimedia festival which I posted about earlier and we have the amazing concept artist Daniel Dociu as a guest speaker.
Right now we are planning for new workshops which should start in september. We already have a cool location and a few people who already said they were more than happy to participate (I'm not going to give names yet, too early for that, but I can say they are well known on this board and in the concept art world).
It would be cool if some of you guys want to help out to make this happen, maybe make some suggestions or maybe if you are like a HKU student or something our schools could team up to get this thing going, just trowing in some thoughts here.

And to remind you all again: this wednesday in Crystallic Leeuwarden starts Exposure Festival with at 10:15 the kick off with Daniel Dociu (www.tinfoilgames.com), for more info and map/directions check out: www.exposure-festival.nl . Hope to meet some of you there :teeth:

[Duq]

What kind of slave to society works on a saturday.. its outragious!

Yeah I agree! Power to the people!

Can you pay my bills now? :>


sorry ff nederlands

In November was UPGEAR gelancheerd, een groep bestaande uit de HKU, HU, UU gericht op het ontwikkelen van games, behalve &#233;&#233;n of twee leuke demos heb ik er verder niks bijzonders gezien, maar dat is even niet het punt.

Tijdens het symposium waar UPGEAR werd gelancheerd was er ook een spreker van Guerilla games, en in een klein gedeelte van zijn presentatie had die het erover dat de huidige generatie studenten van de game opleidingen de basiskennis miste van onder andere de klassieke tekenkunst. Waardoor hun gedwongen werden om mensen uit het buitenland in dienst nemen. Waaruit het uiteindelijk toen op neer kwam is dat dat de reden was waarom UPGEAR was ontstaan en blablabla.

Waar ik dus heen wil is dus, als Guerilla er zo over voelt zullen er ook andere studios zijn die er zo over voelen. Als we dus een nederlandse concept groep willen opzetten en aan proffesionals willen komen lijkt het mij het best omdat aan te pakken in overleg met die studios. Uiteindelijk vormen zij het werkveld en hebben ze de mogelijkheid om een groep mensen te vormen die ze waarschijnlijk weer kunnen recruiten. Ik denk dat geen van ons problemen zal hebben met geld op tafel leggen maar eerder problemen hebben met het in contact komen van de juiste mensen. En dat is iets waar de studios ons mee kunnen helpen. Ook kunnen we nog misbruik maken van de IGDA. Maar dan moeten we geloof ik op project basis werken, en dus om de zoveel tijd een af concept voor een wereld kunnen leveren in ons geval. Maar ik weet niet zeker of dat telt, en zou ik moeten uitzoeken.

edit: Modellen zijn makkelijk, we hebben een vrij experimentele theater industrie waar veel teveel acteurs/dansers in rond lopen die nauwelijks genoeg geld verdienen. Voor mensen die willen model tekenen per direct en in de omgeving van Utrecht zitten, check atelier STOK, http://www.atelierstok.nl/, 1 avondje model tekenen voor 10 euro vanaf 19:30 tot 22:30, met een half uur pauze rond 9 uur. Ik moet alleen ff checken of ze nog steeds werken, want de laatste keer dat ik ging waren ze opeens dicht :)

edit 2: I'm coming from Zoetermeer or Utrecht Demian, and I bring my own car, so I can prolly ferry some people as well.

Leeuwarden, although I think I must have mentioned that a couple of times already :blahblah:

i got it!!!

Project Mayhem

... bah.

[Rudeone]

maybe this is a good idea: http://www.frappr.com/dutchsketchgroup

[bizarre]

Thanks Rudy!!!!

... grumble grumble... well, i made a pinboard... i looked in the atlas and found every point and made little pinned-on labels of every member thus far... and... to my dismay, i get pre-empted by fucking FRAPPS.

grrrg

[ThrillzillA]

So what exactly is fraps? And btw is anyone going to the Leeuwarden lecture festival thingy?? If you wonna meet up pm me!

[Gilles]

Rudeone and Duq, you guys have very cool ideas!

I always wanted to start an independent concept-art studio. Something like Massive Black but than more for the Dutch and European market. Since I'm lacking the finance and enough industry experience I have keep the dream on hold.
Though, I do think that it would be cool to start an alliance of Dutch and Netherlands-based concept/ illustration artists. I've already claimed the domain www.illuminent.nl for the project. I do think however that it would be something that is open for everyone but especially for people that are already in the industry. It will be a portal for information and work. I think it's really important to create a bit of a community in the Netherlands, this way company's know where we are! If you think you can help me out with this let me know!

[Floris Didden]

That's really the reason why I restarded the sketchgroup (more then a yr ago now), to bring all those artists, professionnel and aspiring amateurs alike together to learn, work and laugh (and drink) together. I'm very happy that's it's picking up so fast and so big now. It seems multiple people are having the same ideas seperate from eachother -- getting a workshop / art group / etc together in the Netherlands.
I'll contact the people I know, if others do the same -- everyone knows everyone via a few steps, so our network is huge.

[tensai]

tokyo represeeeent! but i will be in holland (amsterdam and rotterdam) in august/beginning of september. you guys have loads of nice ideas concerning sketchgroups, workshops, community etc.
would love to join a sketch session in august.

edit - man that shit on the Tinfoil Games site that Rudeone put up is insane! strakke harry!

*cough* sir belgian chapter ready, willing and able, sir yes sir

Awesome initiative. If we all put our heads together something like this might actually work.


I don't know if any of you guys made it to Leeuwarden today, if so i'm sorry that I didn't get the chance to meet you.
It was an awesome lecture and Horia and Daniel Dociu gave some great insight in the industry, both are very proffesional in their work and very nice people in real life, I'm glad I got the chance to meet them.

[bizarre]

been away for a bit, and will be gone all weekend...

the pinboard is filling in quite nicely- little paper flags with everyone's names on them, filling up a photoshop filtered, 4-page map of holland. i... i hesitate to say this, but this is starting to look like a conceptart game of Risk. or whatever that game is with all the little nations and things you have to conquer or whatever.

gilles- excellent initiative, as others have said.

floris- your brain is big and squishy. tastes a bit like pineapple juice and whiskey.

[bizarre]

sorry for not having the plan for the sketchgroup meeting in Aartswoud ready yet...

I've had some really tough personal stuff come up lately.

however, on a good note, i recently got my residency permit!!! so now i'm a legal resident in the netherlands!!!

[ThrillzillA]

Leeuwarden ah yeah that would have been a nice festival...... IF I DID NOT LOSE MY DAMEND WALLET IN THE BLEEPIN BUS FROM ALKMAAR TO HARLINGEN. And there I was now OV no phone no money ......... and then I was of to find a police department to make a report that i lost my wallet or that igot stolen. And after an hour I finally found one after being called Ozzy Osbourne by a couple of homeless guys....... And then I had to get back to Alkmaar becasue getting to the lectures without an OV iwas not a smart Idea... Luckily after smoothtalking the busdriver I got a chance to get back home (and getting a fine from the train guy). Without my damned wallet. And then a woman called who found my wallet. And her name was.... and I'm not kidding here...... Ms. Luck (mevrouw geluk). So I had a talk with luck, and well I got my wallet back. But no Leeuwarden was nice.... but I rather followed the lectures..... ah well better luck next time......

[EVIL]

man man man.. always something with you isnt it :D

I would be lovely to come to, if it's in the neighbourhood.
Because i don't have a car. I cant drive anywhere you meet.

But i will do my best.

Gtz Rob.

[geertje]

Hi everyone,

Its been a while since you all heared from us, but we now have a better overview on things.

Demian and I would like to invite you to a sketchmeeting at our place. We're planning on a meet from a saturday to sunday, since its quite a long distance for most people. The cheapest and fastest way to get here is by carpooling. For people who take the train, we will be able to pick up 6 persons at a time from the nearest trainstation (heerhugowaard). Tell us what you will do.

For the meeting itself, we will take care of everything needed for a nice day. including a barbeque and breakfast on sundays, together with drinks. Vegetarians, please notice in advance. We are quite able to make a great bbq for you as well.

Since the hot weather lately, we have been busy setting up a pool in the backyard. (4,60m diameter, at 1,50m depth). So you all will be able to cool down on a hot day! (dont forget the bathingsuits)

We are counting on an aproximate cost of 10-20 euros per person, depending on how many people show up as well as costs for models (we're busy on trying to schedule one or two)

Everyone can sleep over. Depending on the amount of people showing up, some might need to sleep in tents. A sleepingbag and (air)matress will be needed for everyone.


The date for now is set to 12/13th August


If you want to know more, you can contact us through msn,
Okay, enough talking! Who's up for the meet ?!

People coming, are:
Evil
Duq
ThrillzillA
Floris
David
Joeri
Gilles
Ja&#236;n

Gkstudios

I'd rather have it in august, but next weekend won't be to mutch of a problem I think

[Duq]

I'll be there, and the coming weekend is fine. Although I would be late, got work again \o/

[ThrillzillA]

alright&#205;'m in! Maybe I'll take the bike out for a ride, shouldn 't be that far :D.

[Isobel]

Damn I'm on a holiday then....:'(
*stamps on the floor*
not fair!
hihi me= isn't craaaaiizy....

[Cyanid]

I would love to come, but I'm in the south those days.

[Noë]

oh yes :)
I'll be there I think.
will probably take the train to heerhugowaard. Damn that train ticket costs quite a bit! But I earned about €500,- with my summer job(s) this vacation so I can spare it :P
I will need an adress and all, but I'll just e-mail for that when I'm sure I can go.

Love
Marleen

So i think i will pass this time. Hope i can be there next time!

Reminder- you will be sleeping outside, more than likely.

bring with you:

Tent
Sleeping Bag
Change of Clothes
Swimming Suit
15 Euros (food, drink, gas for transportation. may change to 10 or even 5, so bring in small bills, if possible.)

We are scrambling to get ahold of models. We tried to get ahold of a horse&rider model, so y'alls could sketch gestures of horses.

there is a nearby pasture with many cows, and sheep- it's a short walk. good place for a big group to sit and observe animals. could do some sketching there.

Another note: try to find yourself a portable chair- fold-up if possible. we have a lot of seating available for people in the gardens/backyard, but if we're going to be out in the field doing 'sniper sketches' (sketching people unawares from a distance), this may be a necessity.


Ok- to recap.

There is plenty, absolutely plenty of space for at least 10 3 person tents. More than enough sitting room for everyone. More than enough chairs. We have nearly an acre of land to ourselves, and I've been busy clearing some parts of it, as well as Geertje's father. It's big enough.

The only foreseeable issues i can predict is car space. if everyone brings tents and sleeping bags, we may not be able to fit everyone in the car.


The plan:
1. Hyver hosts the Brussels workshop.
2. After the workshop, there will be some spillover people- this is the camping trip group. The camp site is our back yard.
3a. The camping group will leave Hyver's house and head for Amsterdam. In Amsterdam, the group will rendezvous with Geertje or myself and be driven to said camp site.

// CONTINGENCY PLAN B
3b. If the group is more than 4 people with backpacks and tents and equipment, they shall head towards Heerhugowaard, where they will be ferried to said campsite in sets of two or three.
4. Each participant will provide a designated amount of money, at which time groceries will be purchased with said money. initial refreshments such as snacks and drinks will be provided to hold them over until the groceries are purchased and the food is prepared.
5. We will all engage in a barbeque, and see how the rest of the week goes.

HOUSE RULES:
No fires indoors. this includes cigarettes.

We will place garbage recepticles in designated areas- please do not use our land or pond to dispose of your garbage.

Please, do not feed the animals without permission- the purebred Border Collie puppy is only 12 weeks old, and quite sensitive to a lot of foods- she's allergic to many conservatives/preservatives in 'people food'. The three siamese cats can find mice and rodents quite well- if you feed them, they may feel obliged to take seconds, whether you let them or not.

POOLSIDE/ZWEMBAD RULES:

No diving. The pool is too shallow.

No glass in the pool, or around the pool.

There is no lifeguard. Not even off duty.

There will be no urinating or defecating in the water.

Safety first, fun second.

The animals are not obliged to swim. Do not attempt to coerce them to join you.

[wi_2]

im in

[Duq]

I dont own a tent, anyone who I can cuddle with? :(

[bizarre]

When:
Saturday August 12- Sunday August 13

Where:
Aartswoud. Email me for directions. [email protected]
Nearest train station is Heerhugowaard (timewise, this is the closest.)

What:
Sketching, hanging out, barbecue, and if we pull the strings well enough, perhaps a model or two. (no word on this yet though.)

INFO: Call us (Geertje and me) at 0621495095.



Please be sure to bring your own sleeping bag and clothing.

[JaïnvanNigtevegt]

i don't own a tent either, maybe i'll just sleep between the sheep? Or is there besides room for duq another person that can handle a roomie?

[Gilles]

Say, is there a time from which we are welcome? Because... I don't wanna arrive to early and wake Bizarre and Geertje from their beauty sleep.

[geertje]

Sorry that we haven't meantioned that yet Gilles! we´re able to pick up 5 to 6 people at a time. I will be at Heerhugowaard at:
- 14:00 (or anything close)
- 15:30 (or anything close)

Please contact me for which of these times you want to be at the station, and what you're arrival time is. Call 0621495095 or email [email protected]

Furthermore, to awnser to Jain and Duq, we've been busy getting our attic ready to build, therefor its completely empty and a perfect place to spend a night. (no wet tents or clothes, no bumping your head and crawling, no getting out in the rain to go to the bathroom, etc) People who still prefer to sleep in a tent, we have a big tent, you're welcome to set it up ;)

[Sirithduriel]

Sorry, not able to come :)

Ahh very interesting, Can I join this event( Sketchgroup ) ?
I have re-exames so if I studied all my stuff i'll post if I can surely join.

hello there,
I won't be going because my parents and my love don't really like the idea that I would stay over there, and I already have something else to do that weekend now.
Will be there some other time though (i'm sure there will be plenty of other meetings right?) :) I love all of you :)

sure there will be other meetings :D we will have to keep these up won't we!

[Duq]

No this will be the meeting that will rule them all

[bizarre]

Folks, if you do not confirm, you aren't planned for. if someone brings an unannounced guest, that guest doesn't eat, and that guest doesn't have a place to sleep. that causes lots of problems.

we will only expect people who have confirmed, precisely, in this thread or via email. instant messages are not reliable, as ... people have a tendency to forget.

if you do not call, or email, or send us a pm, we do not expect you to show up.


Another note: we cannot afford to do this for free. there is no way we can feed more than two people for three meals without going broke

PLEASE REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR GROCERY MONEY.

call us or email us any time today or tonight. believe me, a call at 3am or something like that is actually much more considerate than showing up unannounced at the train station, and making us drive ten times to the station and back.

Any time until noon (12:00) tommorow is also doable.


So far confirmed:

wi_2 13:30 Heerhugowaard

Duq 14:00 Heerhugowaard by car
EVIL 14:00 Heerhugowaard

Gilles 15:30 Heerhugowaard
Jain 15:30 Heerhugowaard

David Smit arrives directly by car
Daniel (Thrillzilla) by car

oh and, feel free to thank Geertje for feeding all you ungrateful bastards!!!

it was a blast, but the next one won't be until after we've finished building the rest of the house up (rebuilding our current bedroom into a study/library, building more into the closet, making a bookshelf in the living room, turning the attic into a bedroom...)

sheesh, we're still cleaning up after the week-long party (ya. tuesday to thursday was the Brussels workshop people, and then saturday and sunday was the rowdy crowd.)

1- dit is niet de juiste plaats voor dit soort aankondigingen
2- ik kan goed begrijpen dat u niet serieus wordt genomen (hotmail adres, en het taalgebruik van een tien jarige)
3- ik neem aan dat je een contract of arbeidsovereenkomst hebt klaarliggen voor deze opdrachten?
4- in eigen beheer een animefilm? én een kledinglijn?
etc etc

just a friendly fyi there...
(in a nutshell: person is posting what appears to be a shaggy looking job offer)

U hebt tenminste aangegeven dat u niet geintereseerd bent. Bedankt voor uw reactie. Zoals we zeiden alles is uitgesteld en zal van start gaan binnen 8 maanden nadat wij genoeg artiesten verzameld hebben.

[Hyver]

oh btw http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=69791

ik neem aan dat je nu *wel* toegang hebt tot een scanner?

Hoi,

Ik ben benieuwd welke uitgever hierin geïnteresseerd is. Een sponsor met 3 bestsellers, haha. Ik ben zelf uitgever en ik weet hoe dat 'bestsellers' werkt. Je aanbod is ronduit prut en geen enkele tekenaar die goed bij z'n kop is stuurt je 50 pags. Tenzij je bij de uitgeverij van Harry Potter of Dan Brown zit, heb je nix te zeggen bij welke media dan ook. Als je zoveel geld hebt (ik weet wat drukken kost, dus no way dat je die kledinglijn zo op gaat zetten), hoef je niet hier op CA mensen om manga te smeken, maar dan huur je ze gewoon in, genoeg tekenaars te vinden.

*in English: I think this guy is an idiot and has no idea what he's talking about. Please send him bad insectbattle-art.

Indien u geeintereseerd bent doet u mee. Indien u niet geintereseerd bent doet u niet mee. Vanaf nu is onze zoektocht naar artiesten via conceptart gestakt. Indien er nog geintereseerden stuur ons dan aub een e-mail. Voor degenen die het een belachelijk idee vinden, wilt u de geintereseerd aub niet ontmoedigen. Iemand zoals u die tien jaar lang blijft tekenen en alles onmogelijk vindt zou beter kunnen opgeven en een ander beroep zoeken.

[Hyver]

good, i'm glad i can "spare" the good people here at CA from your devious plans (oh pun!)

bye, freeloading troll type who's ass is about to get bootbanned

LOL! wat een gast die mind_on_his_empty_pockets.... :D

Tell it like it is!

[oma]

i agree with noe.. another come togeter :D group hug thingy :D ?

[Chrysalis]

Hee, Nederlanders! Ik had nooit verwacht dat er zoveel op deze site zouden zijn. In ieder geval, ik 'lurk' al een tijdje (zoals ze dat noemen) maar ik heb me onlangs pas ingeschreven, toen ik een melding kreeg over 'crit week'.

Ik ben trouwens slechts een amateurtje en nog lang niet zo ver als de meesten op deze site! :P

[Gilles]

Oohhh lord, I forgot to thank and congratulate Bizarre!!!


Shall we hold another sketchgroup soon? This time we should find a place close to Amsterdam or Utrecht that could hold lot's of people for the whole day. Maybe rent a place for a day. So, let me know who's up for it and if you know a great location... (maybe the boat again?)

[Floris Didden]

The boat's cool, but it's not ideal for the ammount of people we'll probably have, especially with the weather lately. I'd like another one in Amsterdam again though. We need something that we'll be sure has enough room. Anyone have an idea?

Chrysalis, welkom!

Erik, en ik wilde net mn carriere veranderen naar mangaka, hahah... not.

[Noë]

I heard Ramon will have his own place soon... *hint hint* :P
Nee hoor :P just kidding.

For Me Utrecht would be better because it is cheaper for me to get there, but I really don't mind where it would be, I will come anyway!

I asked my parents, but they don't like the idea of a lot of sketchguys like you hanging out at my place in Eindhoven untill late at night, so sadly that's not a possibility.

Maybe some peeps at the HKU or Rietveld Academie can ask other guys/gals if they have some space available. Renting a place sounds a bit expensive to me.

love
Marleen

[ThrillzillA]

Well chartering a classroom at the HKU should be possible but only at workdays and till 10 o clock at night and no drinking and no mangaka stuff..........

[Robot]

..... no mangaka stuff..........

Says the guy that did some manga stuff for a small payment...;)

[ThrillzillA]

Says the guy that did some manga stuff for a small payment...;)

.... hey.... that's not true!!!! ..... or atleast not completely true...... (the payment was big :bashful:)

[Noë]

a classroom in the HKU sounds like a good idea.. Would also give me a chance to look around there besides the "open dag".
I just think for you guys the only downside is "no drinking" ^^

love
Marleen

yo Erik, wanneer zien we jou eens op een sketchmeeting? of heb je het te druk bij Guerrilla :) ... anyway

what are the plans for the next meeting?

[D.Labruyere]

yeah, time for a new meeting, got ov now :P


so, anybody has some brilliant ideas¿ :)

I'd rather not step food there untill my internship is done.

[ThrillzillA]

Yeaaah sketchgroup at Woedend ;p

I could, but then I'd have to kill ya :skull:.


:)

Och god, meneer heeft een stage plek en krijgt nu al spatjes :wink: !

Anyway, looking forward to another sketchgroup, it's been a while since a we had one.

[Noë]

I thought this might be interesting for some of you to go to..;Tentoonstelling; Bodybeeld, het menselijk lichaam ontleed (http://www.uu.nl/uupublish/tentoonstellinge/wisseltentoonste/bodybeeld/40621main.html)

When I'm in Utrecht I think I'll go see if it's a nice exposition. I have a "museumjaarkaart" anyway so it's free *yay's*

Love

READ~!!!! :pirate:

hello everybody,

kixx and I were planning to go and draw in Breda at 23 sept. (Saturday) So anyone who's bored and is able to come to Breda then, you're welcome :)

I'm meeting kixx at 13,00 at roosendaal and we will move to Breda then, so we're going to be at the station of Breda around 13.30 -14.00. We haven't planned anything special, but there is a big park just 1 minute from the station and enough bars and stuff where you can sit inside if the weather is bad.

Hope to hear from you guys! btw, for any Belgium people watching this thread, Breda is very close to Belgium, and it shouldn't be a problem to get there.

[tensai]

i'm sure not many people know me in here, but i'd love to go on a sketch rampage in amsterdam or rotterdam or wherever actually.. i'll be coming to holland in october, anybody up for it? floris - you interning in amsterdam right? have time for something - or are you mad busy? if there is anything being organized and i missed it, please do forgive me. im strunk.
