In reply to loaferslodge. Woot! You are too kind, sir. Indeed, breaking the rules is pure fun (when you know the rules) :))

I love your site and work. To me you are the soul of Blender SteamPunk. You are doing work with old technology (Blender) and showing us what is possible in 10 years time.

The number one super awesomeness of your tutorials is that you show us how very small details have massive impact on our work.

You are demonstrating what my old teacher kept telling us in art class.

Make the rules and then break them.

Thanks for being you.

Would like to say a quick hello and thank you (so far for inspiration, specifically creatively within cgi). It has been a while since working with 3d tools and am amazed at the toolkits that exists now (Blender). I think your creative take on it is what I find interesting. Basically a paintbrush used by a painter. Cheers!

In reply to Filip Hron. Woah, thanks so much for you kind words! Though, I think that there are a lot of things that need to be improved on this blog ;)

Gleb, there’s nothing to criticize on CreativeShrimp. I’m not objective, I share only my narrow personal view. Your tutorials are fast, more entertaining than educational (yet more powerful than), and in the first place you share your passion rather than showing us your skills. It’s great to have such Blender artist to show the world blender capabilities, and it’s good luck to have him as honest person as you are. I would like to share some constructive critique, but I can’t. I’m amazed! To conclude, your tutorials and articles are challenging. I haven’t finished any of your tutorials having satisfying result. But what I know (from your tutorial, again) is that the problem is in me.. haven’t woke up the art yet. Thank you for your work. Keep it up and don’t loose that “starting sparkle” which someone mentioned beforehand.

Ah Ethan, you nailed it. 😛 Participation in various creative projects (as an artist ;)) and writing articles for magazines and web represent most of income.

Though, I would want to switch to passive income. The Lighting Open Project will be the first step in this direction, when the book is published.

Also, I found myself thinking about crowdsourcing options to gather funding for my projects. Maybe Indiegogo? That’s just a theory at the moment, as I need to understand how it must be done from a legal and tax standpoint (that stuff drives me insane).

Thanks so much for this awesome blog! It helps me through complex tasks in blender, I love the style of the videos, and sometimes I come here just to put myself in a good mood! Thanks again! So excited to see what’s next!

Creativeshrimp.com is… simply the best CG blog out there. You seem to know exactly what you’re doing with PR / social media, blogging, web design, tutorials, not to mention MIND-EXPLODING ARTWORK. And– you’re the most involved site administrator I’ve come across. I have no idea how you find the time to interact with people in article comments, Twitter, FB, and so on.

But– how on earth are you making a living from this! You’re 100% generous with web content (I can’t remember a single product or service you’ve sold). Your tutorials are free, articles are free, you explain all your workflows and trade secrets. Does freelancing / contract work (think you made some assets for Andrew Price?) represent most of the business income or how are you doing it?

Keep being awesome.

In reply to Jim Brandom. Woah, I love the post-apocalyptic atmosphere & feel of your render. Awesome!
