For those who are interested, here's an excerp of a mail I got from Eni Oken, graphic designer, 3d modeler, painter, etc. She has a website at www.oken3d.com where you can sign up to her mailing list which sometimes holds good stuff. If you knew of Eni already, please disregard this.

cheers.

Hi Everybody,
A good gig for those of you in search of a quick project. Also some interesting web links and my most recent article for 3D magazine:

ACTIVISION GIG
For those of you interested in a short freelance gig, Activision is in need of a 3D artist to create 40 to 50 small images for their game Call to Power. The artist can be either off-site, pricing on a per-image basis; or as an in-house contractor in Santa Monica for 6 weeks. For the in-house position, they provide Softimage/Maya/Max and equipment. For the contractor, you work on your own equipment.

All submissions require a demo reel or solid URL web page. Price negotiated based on experience.
For more information, please contact David Dalzell at [email protected]

CASE STUDY ON GAME PROJECT
"Lessons in Color Theory for Spyro the Dragon" by Craig A. Stitt and John
Fiorito http://gamasutra.com/features/20000502/spyro_01.htm
For those of you who find yourselves in the lucky position of being game
artists, one of the greatest ongoing challenges is to find ways to leverage an
enormous cache of materials and palettes to create powerful, realistic worlds that
draw in players. How does one do that? By educating yourself about the elements of color and production design and applying these lessons to your games -- as Craig Stitt
and John Fiorito did at Insomniac Games in their Playstation title, Spyro
the Dragon.

Whoa, I didn't know Eni Oken was female.. I just assumed it was a male.. how sexist of me :/

That's cool that a girl has made such a huge name for herself in this industry, it's relatively rare, even in today's society.

Cool shit.
