Forgot about adding this to the blog.
Did a doodle of Sofia in photoshop while recording the desktop with fraps, then pieced together the video in Adobe Premiere and uploaded it to youtube!

Dark Souls shield design contest
So theres this game coming out in october called Dark Souls, and their facebook page has announced a shield design contest for the fans.
Basically they supply you with three different shield templates (kite, tower, round) and then you do your lil design for it, upload it to their facebook page and supposedly people would be able to vote on which ones they liked best. The top three shields get added into the game, the artist's names are entered into the credits and you get a copy of the game signed by the director. Good stuff!
Unfortunately it seems that instead of allowing everybody to vote on whichever shields they find the most artistically pleasing, only your friends are able to vote on the ones you submitted and vise versa. So it turns the contest into a 'who can get the highest number of their friends to vote for them' instead of a actual design competition. Lame.
EDIT: This isn't the case anymore, apparently their flash code was just wrong.
Eitherway, I did a design for the round shield before I discovered this fact.

2 or 3 hours of photoshop.
I had fun doing this, so I still might do a design for the other two, even though it seems highly doubtful I'll make the top ten anymore.
Would've been pretty cool to be one of the winners....
