Lurking About

A guy hunting a deer...badly. 

There are two pages left to do before I can have anyone look at it. I've decided I'm positive I want to keep the pages together and not upload them weekly. I wanted to have them done by Halloween but I don't think that's going to happen. Still, for something that was considered to be a "low priority" project, progress has been quite smooth.

I'm also going to pick up Dreamweaver this weekend. (finally)

A Clash (a rare thing that bugs me)

If I respond with sarcasm to someone who has answered a question I've asked someone else, please know that you deserved it. Once more, I'm not a fan of people chiming in from nowhere when I'm having a conversation with someone I respect.

The next two pages of the comic will be done at once, I've been taking a class to (among other things) improve production speed. Very soon I'll be sending specific people demo pages to make notes about. The other comic hit a snag when it was brought to my attention that it wasn't as original as I had thought, and I'd much rather work on something that I consider unique. I've also started trying to weed out which version of Dreamweaver I want/need, which is good news in terms of improving the main site.

Otherworldly...stuff

Cube creatures from another dimension...oh yes!

I'm on page 4 of the comic. It's good stuff so far, but it's obviously taking a while.

If more frequent entertainment is what you want, you'll be pleased to know about the second comic project, which is more of a weekly strip then a full blown story. The characters are ready, but the jokes are not. I'll be spending the next week gathering ideas for interesting gags and shenanigans.

Also, I'll be working on the images and icons for the two new sections of the main website. I'll have Dreamweaver in my grasp, once more, in the very near future.

The site will be split up into three sections. Art, zombie comic, and the strip. The "Art" section will consist of all concepts, the black and white comic, and renders of 3D models.

Peace out and whatnot.

A, Robot! (c wat i did their)

I haven't posted anything in a while, so here's a pretty robot...of DOOM!

I have 2 pages of the upcoming comic done. Right now I'm trying to figure out how I want to post them. I didn't really want to post them one at a time because that would break the flow. I also want to post them as often as possible. I'm seeking a clever middle ground.

Zombies!!!1

Ah, previews. I might alter some minor things in the actual comic, but this is what to expect in terms of characters. I'm writing the script tonight and tomorrow, after which I will try to post pages daily. I am incredibly excited about this project and I appreciate any feedback at all.

OMG Mysterious sketches...

The question could be asked, "Just doing schoolwork huh?...No big projects?..." Well I answer that with this. I'm spending a lot more time in the R&D phase this time to prevent any unseen...stuff. Not that anything in the last comic was unexpected, just...a little more bland then I intended. This new project is leaps and bounds past the last one, so it will certainly be something to look forward to. Feedback is good too.

Pics and Parental Controls

This was a pencil drawing I did while reminiscing a story I wrote about a year back. Though I usually tend to keep moving forward, I do find it occasionally calming to visit ideas of past days.

 Well, let's kick off the first installment of what I like to call:

[So...this happened...]
 Schwarzenegger v. Entertainment Merchants Association and Entertainment Software Association

A little late to the party, I know, but a similar subject (video game violence and its impact on minors) crept up in a psychology class of mine. As I read more and more about this, I kept thinking two things:

The first, more mature thought, was that parental controls are a very good answer to this problem. Not just the parental controls in the system. I mean parental control. It is a parent's job to decide what their child can and cannot watch/play. A common misconception that seems to keep popping up is that "I don't want to watch/play what my child is watching/playing," for various reasons. I really believe that watching cartoons and playing games with one's children can be a real bonding experience. To boot, if something inappropriate does show itself, they can talk to their child about it. (Knowing is half the battle...GI JOE!...ect.)

The second, less mature, thought was that, "Lolz, this effects large developers and not me." Which isn't entirely true. However, I can't help but chuckle a little thinking what my artistic response to this would be if happens at some point. I could only imagine what I would create would be an extreme of what they feared most.
