			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just a little heads up that I&#8217;m updating the site a bit with new content, which is rather over due. You can find some new works in Vehicles and a lot more in Environments. </p>
<p>Also just a quick update on Phoenix Dream, the novel is now reaching the final phase before production so hopefully in the next month or two the book will be released. Once the final phase is done I&#8217;ll be able to finally open the site with some more details about the book, such as where you can get it and how much it&#8217;ll cost.</p>
<p>Until then have a good day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi everyone, was meant to post this earlier last week but a few things came up. </p>
<p>First of I won&#8217;t be doing the challenges now because shortly after I started week one, a small indie mod db team called &#8216;<a href="http://www.moddb.com/company/infernix-entertainment" target="_blank">Infernix Entertainment</a>&#8216; contacted me about working on their RPG &#8220;Pulse Of The Storm&#8221; as a 3D Environment Artist. So I shall be a bit too busty working on that now. I&#8217;ll try and post a little more about the project later, even if its only on my side of things but please check out the team on;</p>
<p>Mod db: <a href="http://www.moddb.com/company/infernix-entertainment" target="_blank">http://www.moddb.com/company/infernix-entertainment</a><br />
Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Infernixe" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/Infernixe</a><br />
Website: <a href="http://www.infernixgames.com/" target="_blank">http://www.infernixgames.com/</a></p>
<p>I did complete the 1960&#8242;s Batmobile which I shall upload finished images of in the coming few days.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is just a spur of the moment thing but I hope to continue it ever week now as the site needs a bit of a update with a lot more new work and I&#8217;m a bit bored at the moment waiting to hear back from a few job postings, hopefully in the next week or so.</p>
<p>Anyway this week I posted via Twitter (@darquette):<br />
<a href="https://twitter.com/#!/darquette/status/189318507211657217"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y292/y2dazz/twit.png" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>And within a few minutes I got a few things thrown my way most notably the 1960&#8242;s Batmobile &#038; the bike from Akira, you can really tell my friends are Nerds.</p>
<p><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y292/y2dazz/1960s_TV_BAtmobile_01.jpg" alt="" /> <img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y292/y2dazz/akira-red-motorbike.jpg" alt="" /><br />
So other the news few days I&#8217;ll be posting the WIP&#8217;s of these vehicles, I might do a few extras like the 1989&#8242;s Batmobile (as its my favourite) as well as another car, the Tesla Roadster.</p>

So yeah&#8230; so much for more regular updates. It&#8217;s been awhile since I&#8217;ve updated the site a bit, maybe even longer. But oh well, some slight changes here and there, mostly more recent photos of myself as I believe when I took most of the previous photos I was 19&#8230; I&#8217;m now 24 &#8211; close enough atm &#8211; so yeah they needed a bit of a change.</p>
<p>Other than that I did a little house keeping, to update what I&#8217;m currently doing which is two folds;</p>
<p>1) I&#8217;m currently the Founder &#038; Company Director of EMP Software Design, site coming soon, whom are currently developing a number of small games for Mobile devices, currently we&#8217;re thinking iOS (iPhone &#038; iPad) &#038; Android, with the future possibility of working on content for Nokia&#8217;s OVA Store and maybe even Samsung (TV) Apps. Once the site is up they&#8217;ll be more news on that &#8211; which will be early next month. In the mean time you can find/follow us via Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/EMP_Software" target="_blank">@EMP_Software</a> &#038; Via Facebook: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/EMP-Software-Design/173659532664304" target="_blank">EMP Software Design</a>.</p>
<p>2) I&#8217;m also in the middle of getting a book novel, which will hopefully be the first in the series, the series will be called &#8216;Forgotten Tales&#8217; and the first book in this will be &#8216;A Phoenix Dream&#8217;. The book will be available in stores and as a digital download via Waterstones, Amazon and Borders, as well as a few other places but I&#8217;ve forgot which atm. No exact ETA on that just yet but I&#8217;m hoping everything will be finalised by the end of March, which would make an awesome Birthday present. As you can see from the image above that will be the cover of it as well.<br />
Other than that, no site yet, hopefully that will be up along with the EMP one but again you can find/follow it via Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/ForgottenSeries" target="_blank">@ForgottenSeries</a> and via Facebook: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Forgotten-Tales/116394378486274" target="_blank">Forgotten Tales</a>.</p>
<p>Other than that it&#8217;s been kinda quiet&#8230; well I lie plenty of other stuff has happened as well, which I plan to update you all with at a later time. For now farewell and I&#8217;ll post something next week, I swear.</p>

And since then I&#8217;ve received quite a few comments on it from &#8220;Awesome/Cool&#8221; to &#8220;You&#8217;ll regret that in five years&#8221; and to them I ask; Who the hell do you think I am?</p>
<p>Sure fair enough tattoo scare for life, but there are reason for why I got this, something which no one has seemed to ask for just yet. These being;<br />
1) I wanted to get something kind retro for a tattoo.<br />
2) My first true console was a Sega Mega Drive.<br />
3) This is the console that got me into gaming and later made me realise this is the profession I want.</p>
<p>Sure it was the Playstation One that made me want that but if it wasn&#8217;t for the Sega Mega Drive I wouldn&#8217;t of even got into that. The Tattoo is also a symbol to me, of my goal, again no one has asked me this, its there to remind me of my goal of getting into the industry, sure my ring is also a reminder of my promises (explanation for another post maybe?) but its a permanent reminder of what I want to do and I never want to give up on that dream, gaming is in my blood and I shall never give up until I&#8217;m in an industry I love, come hell or high water. I&#8217;ve made it this far now.</p>
<p>(Yay first blog post ever, even though I&#8217;ve been calling this place a blog for awhile now <img src='http://www.darrenarquette.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  )</p>

<p>A Game Design Bible for The Black Box and another for Child’s Play, not the charity but a game. More details will be relieved about these in the future</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey everyone, sorry there hasn&#8217;t been much happening recently but good news I&#8217;ve finish, well almost, the second year of University and have a lot of work to upload so you shall be seeing that over the next couple of days, there&#8217;s already quite a big update on the site just look at the Character and Environment sections to see what I mean.</p>
<p>You might notice a new page up, that shall be getting content over the next couple of days but I just want to say a quick thank you to everyone that visits and posts a comment on my work.</p>
<p>And I promise I&#8217;ll turn this blog into an actual blog sooner or later rather than a update news feed thing like I&#8217;ve been doing as of late.</p>
