                  process of making each weeks edition of loonygames is one that 
                  generally runs pretty smoothly, but from time to time the arrangment 
                  of feature articles needs to be tweaked a little, for whatever 
                  reason, and a couple of times (with the added complexity of 
                  the Xmas holidays) the result has been a mad rush for a cover

                  </b>My first try was on an Amiga500. I found an old French magazine 
                  called 'Tilt' and saw some demo scene gfx. There was a little 
                  tutorial so I started something which was horrible :).</font></p>

                  Have you ever worked with traditional mediums?</font></p>

                  I work a lot with pencil. Right now I do outlines of all my 
                  work with pencil first, scan them, and colorize them in Photoshop.</font></p>
                <p align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Sumaleth: 
                  </b>Even the logos?</font></p>
                <p align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>dines: 
                  </b>Nono, not the logos. Logos are not like drawings for me; 
                  I invent at the time that I do them - add this here and here 
                  without thinking too much of proportions etc. I don't take so 
                  much time to draw logos, 3-4 hours at a maximum. Other pics 
                  can take me weeks.</font></p>

                <p align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Good 
                  proportions has always been my problem, so I loose a lot of 
                  time on this. That's what I am working on these days, especially 
                  for the models I am trying to build.</font></p>

                  </b>Your logo work has been appearing in a number of programs 
                  lately, like the Milkshape 3D program for example. How do those 
                  projects come about; do you approach them or do they approach 
                  you?</font></p>
                <p align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>dines: 
                  </b>I get a lot of mail asking for logos, but most of the time 
                  I do logos for software that I appreciate. It's like a little 
                  contribution to people working hard for free. I think this maybe 
                  comes from the demoscene spirit.</font></p>
