</tbody></table><span style="color: #5e5e5f; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Wings of Fury is the most recently published game that features my graphics. </span></span><br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="color: #5e5e5f; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">The game has been developed by German developer 'The Android Machine' and is based on the old classic with the same title. I played the original when I was still a little boy and was really eager to take on the graphics for this one.</span></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="color: #5e5e5f; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">So far it seems to be doing really well on the android market and the developer let me know that he's working on an iOS port as well. If you have an android device, I recommend you give the game a try. Download the free version here: <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wingsoffurylite" target="_blank">Android Market</a> - Happy bombing! ;)</span></div><br />

Turtle Rescue is a HTML5 game, developed by DataSupply. <br />
<br />
The goal of the game is to get the baby turtles safely to the water. Think Frogger.<br />
<br />
You can play the game for free here: <a href="http://www8.games.mobi/games/html5/turtle-rescue/index.html" target="_blank">Turtle Rescue</a><br />

This particular piece I created as an illustration for an Sci-Fi story. One of the goals was to create a believable spaceship, largely consistent with modern day science. <br />
<br />
The crew compartments are hidden between the cargo bays for protection. There are sensor arrays and sun collectors on the front; primary and secondary fuel tanks are visible on the exterior; Several unfolded heat radiators can be seen; Lastly, there are propulsion engines to go forward or backward, as well as steering thrusters to go in any other direction.<br />

</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hi there,</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: inherit;">My name is Tom. </div><div style="font-family: inherit;">I'm a Dutch Artist and Media Designer.</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: inherit;">I have been painting and drawing since early childhood, although there have been many periods of artistic standstill. My parents recognized some talent on early age and hired an artist to teach me some techniques. Years later I attended weekend classes at the School of Arts in Utrecht, The Netherlands. I focused on fine art. My interests are extremely diverse and this all too often prevents me from spending much time creating art. Only recently I have been picking up the brush again with renewed fervour. <br />
<br />
In addition to art, I also studied media design and graduated on the subject of 'Game Design for Specific Audiences'. <span style="font-size: small;">I have a passion for creating games. It is like playing God, but without the ethical dilemmas that are usually associated with that kind of activity :). I have professional experience in various facets of game development, like; 3d modeling, programming, gamedesign and 2d art- as well as experience in web design - particularly as a flash designer/-developer. <br />
<br />
I have an insatiable hunger for knowledge and culture. I love to read the classics and watch tons of movies when I get the chance. I'd say that knowledge and culture are two of the most precious things in my life. They comfort me and keep me sharp at the same time.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Why this Blog</b></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I created this blog to share some of my artworks and ideas with whoever may think they are worth seeing or reading.<b> </b>I don't expect millions of followers. Writing my ideas down really helps me to remember them and it forces me to think everything over in more detail .<b> </b>Hopefully<b> </b>it also motivates some people to give me useful critiques and other forms of verbal spanking. I need all the help I can get. I have tons to learn.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
