The ATC daily show!

For my current 3D animation class, I plan on doing an animation of Faia-Su (the Goutari from a couple years ago) exploring a cave, lighting a candle, and having the candle melt in his 'hands'. In the previous animations I played with a glowing effect, but now I want to really wade deep into lighting.

I kinda wish I had more control over the mouth, but it's too late for that now. It's coming along pretty good. Not perfect, but good.

Long time no post! But hoboy is this going to need more than twitter space.

So! Online class, right? Creative writing, easy enough to translate to an online area. 'Class' is more like a forum and assignments are turned in separately to the teacher. Discussion, however is open for all.

So all's well in the icebreaker thread. Then the thread for the first discussion comes up on what is 'good and bad writing' to you. Most answer with a few short sentences. But guess what we got in there? *dingding!* A bible spewing tard! All I can do is alternate between "WAT D:" and lawls.

Reading about magic makes you wear THONGS and drink SODA and have SHELLFISH. SO EEEEEVIIIIL!!1

I'm biting my lip on how this could easily turn into a trolling target. SO TEMPTED. Maybe I'll just do topics about homosexuality and gender identity to light a fire. Actually GI could be an interesting middle ground to poke at.
I shouldn't troll. I shouldn't troll. I shouldn't trooooollll... D:

GUYS.

I'm like, really enjoying working on my storyboarding stuff. I hope the teacher likes it too, but damn I like where it's going. If I make my classmates cry I WILL CONSIDER MYSELF A WINNER. (He's probably gonna whine since I'm not planning something that would be longer than 10 minutes. I think I'll do a 'music video' for this song, 'cause it's effective.)

It's just too bad that it took me a couple months of PROCRASTINATING to realize I like working on this thing so there's several other things I was also PROCRASTINATING on due at the same time. Oopsie.

Man I just kinda wish I had a job doing art stuff so I don't have to write papers on stuff-that-doesn't-really-matter-for-my-career and -not- be able to sneak in so much gaming time as to prevent actual work. My life relying on said income would probably also be a good motivator.

Ok. I can't be the only one who thought of the meme in the recent Dr.McNinja page.

I had an urge to make a 'Deal With It' icon with my furfag, but this'll probably work better.

So. It's Fall now. Boo that. Super boo to the winter soon to follow.

Swamped with schoolwork. No real surprise there, and I keep playing Guild Wars to ease my mood. I'm getting back on top of everything this week though.

Character Narrative and Storyboarding is... difficult. Not so much the material as the professor. He is really hard to read and does not seem happy with anything. When he says something 'is good' he's still got that disappointed tone in it. I -think- I'm doing alright, but the whole class antagonizes him and we don't get much done as a class. There's been no actual grading so that leaves me even more in the dark. We'll see. I'm caught up and I'll just keep chugging at it and do as much as I can.
I was also the only person in the class that wanted to tell a story that wasn't slapsticky. Soreee I wanted to do something that'll possibly have some merit after the class is over. Also only abstract character. I did it to make it easier to draw over and over as I storyboard the thing, not so much to be 'neenur neenur I'm more originaaal' though I was getting looks with an expression as though I were.

Audio class is interesting, but by god I have no idea what's going on most of the time. The rest of the class has worked with audio equipment and mixing and such before. I'm grasping it pretty good, but sometimes pieces get waxed over. It's the intro audio class, so it's annoying that everyone knows most of it. I'm also the only one in the class that doesn't play an instrument (or six).

Art is way getting shoved in the corner. I've got a few drawing, but none of them are getting close to finished. Working off-and-on on Joslyn's head model, updating the journal entry with a few more pictures as I go.

Because Mr. Fish makes me smile inside. If you haven't read Manly Guys Doing Manly Things, do it. It doesn't have a massive archive and the art is pretty damn good.

So, a little bit ago on Twitter I said: "Copies of Black and White have started circulating, thus *sticks earplugs in* It is time to wait for the US release in blissful ignorance."

And it seems that all the fansites got actual threats from Nintendo to take down any content about Black and White after the Japanese release. That's pretty impressive. I don't think that happened in the previous releases.

All I was peeking about was if there was any confirmation of further Eevee evolutions yet, and was hit with a 'oh hey, nothing is up now.'

Webcomicing seems to be a profitable thing. It would be a good habit to keep as it'll enforce schedule on me that isn't just school/family nagging. It'd force me to work on images that are intended to stay together, possibly solidifying separate styles.
It'd generate an audience, I've seen so from RBN with Underling.
Notoriety is the most valuable asset in an artistic career. If I can get in on that, it'd be awesome.

While I really love my characters and stories very much, I do not see them in a beginning to end storyline. A storyline would have to be laid down and the comic would run through the story. If there's any following a new comic would be created to move on to.

BUT. I have nothing to work with. I don't have characters active enough for page-by-page action interesting enough to follow. If someone wishes to be a writer for me I would work some magic and see if it can work. It would be a beneficial partnership.

Though, my horrid tendency for furfaggotry will likely shut off anyone who would have wanted to help out.

Someday I'll figure it all out.

I am modeling Joslyn, which is involving a total redesigning of her head shape to actually be possible in 3D. Also going through a pretty good tutorial on making the head, and it's made me restart a couple times, but is working well so far. As usual with 3D, it won't look like much of anything until it's near completion.
( But here's the profiles I'm modeling off of now )
She's going to be way more reptilian. Working with 3D shapes really changes how I perceive how I draw.


Of course, I'm getting into this when school starts up this week and will probably get shuffled off my plate again. D;

Ever hear a song that is moderately easy to find, but a mix of it is terribly hard to come by so you have to download an entire discography as it's the only one includes the obscure singles that held such mixes?
