Meeting Over

Wed Jul 29, 2009, 9:15 PM
:meditate: So I made it out alive, and for now, I'm still employed. I can't say much about the meeting here, as there's a chance that the people involved in the meeting might see it. I can't disclose why that would be the case either, as it relates to the meeting content.

:snowflake: I've got a much better idea of what the future could hold for me in terms of employment, which makes me very happy, and I've got a much better idea and certainty of what it is that my bosses expect. I think the meeting went well, from my perspective. I think the events and discussion of the meeting was favourable, and at times, amusing X3

:snowflake: Wish me luck! :D

Unemployment on the horizon

Sun Jul 26, 2009, 9:22 PM
  • Mood: Depressed
So... It looks like I'm going to lose my job. Just one of the many, I suppose.

I feel depressed, down, I just want to lie on my bed and cry, but I know that's not going to resolve this, or make things better. I want to rant on and on about how horrible this is... but that's just more drama dA doesn't need.

I'd love to ask for financial support, but I'd feel like I was leeching off the pockets of people who need their money anyway.

I wish I had someone to hug.

Recent Projects

Journal Entry: Wed Jun 3, 2009, 2:14 PM



:meditate: Currently Working On; :meditate:

:earth: COMPLETE: Dragon Half Ending Mink Dance Template. For those familiar with the anime (and manga); Dragon Half, I'm making a template of the dance Mink does during the ending sequence. I couldn't find one anywhere on the net, so I thought I'd fill this gap. Despite what other people may have told you, the dance has 7 individual poses and a 17 frame sequence. I tracked it myself, thanks to a youtube entry of the ending. Hopefully I should have the template done by the end of this week or next.

:snowflake: Megaman RP. Working on a roleplay based in the 100 year gap between the end of the MMZ series and the beginning of the MMZX series. The roleplay will be run for a group of friends I see regularly. Hopefully will get this all ready sometime in July.

:snowflake: Dusty Commissions. After I finished ALICE, for Dusty (from FA), she offered to hire me to design and illustrate a bunch of other characters from her stories. Also to do comic book style covers for said stories. Negotiations are continuing, and I hope we can both reach an agreement that will allow me to get paid to draw mecha girls ^^

:snowflake: EO Atlas. I'm currently involved in making the GUI for it, as well as being one of the pixel artists. EO Atlas is another remake of an indie MMO called Endless Online. Some of you may be familiar with it. The project has a timeline of two years, but it all depends on whether the project leader can find a programmer who can be more commited than the current one. Progress is slow.

:snowflake: A whole bunch of other stuff. Sitting on the back burner; Psion Blaze SHUMP game, Spirit Fantasy RP, Reading HTDM Interesting Characters book, and a few other bits and pieces that don't immediately come to mind.

  • Mood: Optimism
  • Listening to: Perfume
  • Reading: Alistar Reynolds - Torquoise Days
  • Watching: Innocent Venus
  • Playing: Legend of Zelda, Phantom Hourglass

End Results

Sun May 24, 2009, 12:39 AM
:meditate: From inactivity :meditate:

:snowflake: Hey everyone,

:snowflake: So, further to the biodegradable markers post many months ago. I had a talk with the people who make the polymer I was hoping to use as a casing for the pens, and it turns out it's not actually supposed to last very long. It breaks down after a few months of wear and tear, and exposure to the usual stuff floating round the air stream of a city. Ah well, it was a nice idea. No other polymer I've found is suitable, as of yet.

:snowflake: Sorry for the massive hole in drawing. I admit, I have done something else, but it's just an outline of a character design, and I notice they don't tend to get much attention compared to coloured stuff.

:snowflake: As for why there hasn't been much recently, well, I haven't been eating any brazil nuts for the past month and a bit. What the hell does that have to do with drawing? Well, Brazil nuts are high in silinium (or however you spell it), and that has a beneficial effect on your brain chemistry. Suffice it to say it helps motivate you, and it certainly helps motivate me.

:snowflake: Where I live, the soil lacks silinium, so people over here tend to wear a lot of black and avoid eye contact.

:meditate: That said, I went out and got myself some more brazil nuts yesterday, and having eaten 5 yesterday and 3 today, the difference is appreciable. I've already agreed to do a design for someone, so that comes before getting anything that's half finished actually done. However, I plan on going back and colouring and finishing a bunch of stuff I should have already.

:meditate: Also, I've come across a music artist I was previously unaware of. Someone of such immense skill that I regret overlooking one of their previous releases for its album cover art (which is actually pretty funky, btw, it's just very... different).

:snowflake: "she". If you haven't heard of this guy before, now is your chance to redeem all those wasted years in the dark. When I once thought Pendulum, The Qemists, The Prodigy, Virt, Sabrepulse, Animalstyle, Imogen Heap, and a select few others, were all the best of the best, I was wrong.

:snowflake: I used to consider Imogen Heap in a class of her own, and I guess she still is, with those beautiful vocals of hers. She's an amazing singer and composer.

:snowflake: I loved the baselines of Pendulum, the energy of the Prodigy, and the wicked stylings of the Qemists.

:snowflake: Virt and Sabrepulse were great game music composers, chiptune with energy and inspiration. Animalstyle has his own style, and it's pretty wicked too. These chiptune composers were some of the best, I thought, and I suppose they still are.

:snowflake: However, they all come a far back second, to she. I've downloaded all his free music, and will be ordering his newest release album (still back in 2008), Coloris, from japan next payday.

:meditate: Do yourself a favor of a lifetime, listen to she; shemusic.org

Phantom Subscriber

Mon Apr 20, 2009, 9:28 PM
:meditate: So it turns out =Solomen bought me the subscription, and the notifier was in my email. I admit, I'm very surprised. I'm not sure I'll be able to make full use of the subscription features while I have it, but I'll certainly enjoy it while I do ^.^ Thank you very much, Solomen!

*does not think he is worthy :ohnoes:*

:meditate: Ok, so someone bought me a subscription, cos I sure as heck didn't shell out any money to dA. However, the system didn't notify me that anyone had, and I didn't see any news article that pointed to everyone getting a free 3 months.

:snowflake: Anyone care to fill me in on something I missed, or does anyone care to honestly own up to buying me a subscription? I'm so lost right now about this.
