Here are some concepts for the game I'm going to work on....

Read more... )

Sorry for the watermark but I'm making sure that my name is on these.

More concepts coming soon. Then I'm going to work on making some rooms and see how much I can model before I start putting a team together...

Wish me luck!

P.S. If anyone needs help reading my horrid handwriting, just let me know! =D

Sup guys!

Not much going down. I’ve just been using the quiet of the country to try to draw some. I just haven’t really felt all that inspired lately and all the hustle of the holidays have taken a toll on art. But after I’m done here I’m going to break out the paints and paint something. I’ve been using that comic layout paper I got for Christmas, [ B-9 ] will be scripted and thumbnailed out by the end of break. That way I can get started on it as soon as I get the Slugster to look through it and give me some crit on it. Yays!

I haven’t been feeling all right lately. Yesterday I woke up feeling like my brain was being squeezed. That headache was so bad it made me feel nauseous, so I spent most of yesterday with the lights dim and drawing with all electronics off. My dog refused to let me out of her sight when I wasn’t feeling good, and even now she’s sitting on my feet. I figure I must be getting some sorta cold or something.

I know I came close to breaking on of my new year’s resolutions this mourning. Dad asked me if I was eating, and I said yes I was, I just don’t eat before noon. My mother and my grandmother both never ate before noon either, and I suppose I inherited it. Well he goes ‘Well you should eat right now, I don’t want to pay for you being hospitalized again like last summer’

I respond with, ‘Dad, it was a viral infection that sent me to the ER, not because I wasn’t eating. I tried to eat but I couldn’t even keep water down. That really wasn’t my fault, I hadn’t slept or ate in three days I thought I was going to die.’

Then he goes ‘Well next time you should just tough it out, we can’t afford for you to get sick again.’

Soooooo my dad is still pissed I was taken to the ER last summer and blames me for getting a viral infection! I’m just going to take this as a mark he’s worried about my health instead of fighting with him again. If you think about it, even with my awful twisted back and pelvis, deafness, broken eye, metabolism issues, and predisposition for cancer, I’m the healthiest person in this family. My god.

I’m also being blamed for viruses getting on dad’s PC because he doesn’t have the sense to put antivirus software on it. At least he put some on his laptop he got, because my Brother in Law (who’s computer smert) tricked out his laptop for him.  OH LOL.

Other than that I scared the living piss out of my dog whacking that orange Lapel thingy Adam sent me in the mail on the floor. She thought someone was trying to crash through the door so she spent most of last night bristling and snarling at nothing, trying to look tough despite being a 1 foot high poofball of a dog. Hurr.

Omnomnom weird orange chocolately things now I’m off to watch Harry Potter 6 and see what’s up on the interbutts. Later Taters :D

Yes, one that I'm actually going to ATTEMPT to do instead of just in theory. This is sort of both an announcement and a "wish list" of features for said games. I'm going to do some of the initial modding of it myself to prove that I mean business and so that when I do an open invite for people to work on the project, I have something to show said people.

I will post details in the future about this project both in this blog and in my (currently untouched) professional blog.

Here is the mock up of the prototype logo and the wish list description:



You wake up. You get your coffee. You let the pets out. You turn on the TV to watch some news. You get ready for work. You are in the middle of your day...

And right there and then, the world around you begins to end.

Horribly.

Four, a new game from Jordan White and his personal production studio Jordan White Design, invite you to this interactive project. One where the player is both the willing participant and the unwilling test subject.

Four is many things...

-- A online cooperative online game were players work together to survive, each player having one unique talent that helps the game progress from level to level.

-- A unique study of online social interaction, group theory, social engineering and a in-depth window into human madness.

-- An experiment in combining new and old game theory, level design, interactive narrative and computer AI intelligence.

-- A fun arcade like experience in which each play-through is unique, players can customize their own unique avatar and keep track of stats and achievements over online rankings.

-- A virtual, interactive concept album for Nine Inch Nail's Ghosts I-IV, The Slip and other Creative Commons artists.

-- A new, free mod for the highly praised Source Engine from Valve Software.

...and much much more, depending on which angle you like to view it.

Hurry! The widening gyre of the beyond has widen enough to rip the world as we know it apart. Team up with four of your friends online or local to survive the mayhem. Your survival depends on each other...

Or does it?


More Info Coming Soon (Release Date: TBD)

Hey guys! Hope everyone’s New Year’s went all right. I celebrated by staying up until 3 AM with my brother watching Inglorious Basterds and Beavis and Butthead. Of course we had the custom good luck dinner of Pork and Sauerkraut, because we’s country. My resolutions for this year?

1. Learn how to stand up for myself and tell people who annoy the hell out of me to STFU instead of just sitting around taking it all the time. I’m too nice for my own good. It’s getting to the point where I have a hard time getting on chat clients anymore because I KNOW people will jump me that I don’t want to talk to but I’m too shy to tell them to lay off because I don’t want to hurt feeeelinggggssssssssss.

2. Get a job! Somewhere! Oh economy <3

3. Fight less with my folks. I know sometimes they can say and do some really hurtful things sometimes but hey, they are the only folks I got. I also want to start calling my Step-Mother ‘mom’. My brother has been doing that for a while now but I’ve yet to do it myself. My step-mother is really cool and I know it would make her so happy if I could bring myself to call her mom, because I do consider her my mother. But for some reason I have a hard time doing that, so I’m going to work on that too. Christ I’ve known her longer now than my late mother XD Durrr

LETS SEE HOW LONG I CAN KEEP MY RESULOTIONS BEFORE I FAIL AT LIFE! OORAH!

As you can tell, I left my grandmother’s house to spend some time with my folks/dog before heading back to school. That means I’ll probably be able to get on everyday to say hay. And oh god there was a package for me from Adamska. Oh my god dude I love you. Dad got to it first and flipped it around and just stared at the bottom like ‘ 8O ‘ cause of what you wrote on the bottom. Question comics, arts, an ArtFaggot shirt, and music oh god I love you man. When I unpack my art supplies tomorrow I swear to god I’ll make it up to you. Nerd Packages are the BEST packages. Thank you so much man <3

Before I left my Grandma’s I went with Sluggy to Gamestop to look for a WiFi adapter for my DS. Apparently they are discontinued? But the dude there said that for Lites you just need to get to a WiFi hotspot to use it to connect to people. I don’t know but I’ll figure it out somehow. I used the money I was going to use for an adapter to get Elite Beat Agents instead. I fucking love that game <3 And oh some cool Retro Headphones because my old ones were so worn down they were hurting my ears. Pics later! If any of you Nintendo DS owners out there got some good game suggestions, lemme know!

In pokemon news my team now consists of a Quagsire (Meep), Luxray (Flash), Houndoom (Dante), Ryhorn (Pyrite), Haunter (Egon), and Noctowl (Merlin). All of them are now at least level 40 and we just got one more gym badge to go. That dude with the Lucario that follows you around sometimes gave me an egg I expect to be its pre-evolutionary form, so I’m running around trying to hatch it. I just rescued the lake pokemon from Team Glactic, and I don’t know what I’m suppose to do next so I’m just running around trying to find all the hidden items so I can pimp out my pokemanz. I tried the Pokemon Contests. It’s…….really really weird to say the least, Dante won the beauty contest so that confuzzles me even more.

I let my dad play Elite Beat Agents on my DS. After the 5th mission failure he told me it was a stupid game and only children play video games. But then after an hour he asked me if he could play it again. THE CORRUPTION! IT BEGINS!

More things tomorrow maybe :D Stay awesome guys!

Ok, I've seen that film Avatar. Let's get this out of the way...BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT EVER. It was like dating a woman who's only thing she's got going for her is a great pair of tits. Everything else is derivative, stupid or horrible.

But then I realize something, when I was re-watching it on bootleg. The Colonel Miles Quaritch, the one with the horrid acting...



So I'm watching his performance. The crazy Colonel. The one who can blow up stuff and drink out of a coffee cup. Not afraid of a god damn thing, totally obsessed with war.

And I was like...wait, I've SEEN this character before! I know this character! I've seen it in another epic movie and it was done a billion time's better than James Cameron's Spooge Fest-I mean-Avatar.

And then it hit me...



James Cameron totally ripped off Lieutenant Colonel William Kilgore in Apocalypse Now!

HOLY CRAP!!!



Could Avatar be ANY LESS original!?!

Then again, maybe it just proves my age (mentally and physically) since the average movie goer is either too young to remember that film and/or thinks that Transformers 2 is the best film ever.

Oy vey! -,-;

so happy 2010 folks!

i actually fell asleep before midnight watching twilight zone. a fine new-years tradition if i ever had one. before that, i played l4d with [info]rainbowcemetery, [info]alfonzos2112 and [info]jazaaboo which was wicked fun. nothing like blasting zombies and being mauled to kick off a new year :D

part of my new years resolution is to GET RID of some of the stuff i have lying around in boxes that i collected for the sake of collecting and then NEVER DID ANYTHING WITH. you know, get rid of the horder instinct? so i'm listing a bunch of it on ebay. there's hide CDs, hard gay stitch, PSPs, RAM and pokemons.

other new years' resolutions include: getting back to doing situps, going to more concerts, dressing up as a Hunter for SDCC10, budgeting time to work on sabrous and painting that goddamn guitar. will i do it? can i do it? I THINK SO.


[info]veestah cuddles ren during the WILD NEW YEARS that was last night


for those of you who weren't enormous nerds watching dated scifi and playing videogames all night, i hope today is free of major hangovers and your new year spectacular. it was a blue moon, folks. that's got to mean SOMETHING good for 2010 :>

now if you'll excuse me, i have a guitar to paint...

Okay droogs! Now for a proper update. Sorry for not saying hay sooner, but I’ve been chilling at my grandma’s for the past week(s) and haven’t been able to get to a computer. Derp! Okay here’s what I’ve been up to.

Dec 19: Managed to get to grandma’s okay. Sluggy’s car stalled twice along the highway, but If I’m going to be stuck in some broken down car by the road, it might as well be with him <3. We beat a nasty snowstorm that dumped over 2 feet of snow in a few places. So I spent that Saturday and Sunday digging my grandmother’s house out of the snow.

Dec 20+22:  Painted a backdrop for my step-sister’s church’s Christmas play. I only had 5 house paint colors (white, brown, sky blue, dark red, deep yellow, and a dirty green) and 5 hours to complete it. I’ve had tighter crunches when I worked in Stage Production back in Highschool, so it wasn’t a problem. Other than that I sat around and listened to my Grandmother complain that I don’t draw enough pretty people and gosh, Villain sure is violent! What example are you setting for kids Maniac >8[

Dec 23: Saw Princess and the Frog with Sluggy. It was, very very amazing. It made us both feel like we were back in theaters in the 90’s seeing Hunchback and Beauty and the Beast. Fucking. Awesome. The only crit I can really mention, and Sluggy feels the same was, is that there is a lot of characters to keep track of. But oh man do you love them. Oh yes. Art boners ahoy! We had to wait a billion years to get our tickets because of all the Teeny-boppers going to see New Moon. Enjoy your 3 hours of pain folks! Hurrhurr.

Dec 24: Went to my Step-Sis’s Church play thing cause it’s our family tradition thing. It was really good, and the church folks were nice enough to credit me in the bulletin. So it was pretty nice :D I made the mistake of reading the newspaper from around here. See what happened that there’s a nativity that’s set up in the city square. Some dude from an Atheist group went to the town hall and asked permission to put up a sign there too celebrating Atheist Military Serviceman. The town hall decided to pass a rule in response to disallow any group to place anything in the square, the only acception is flags for Memorial Day. This was because they knew they’d have to accomidate everyone, and that uh……includes the KKK snooping around here. So they decided to be safe and just equally deny everyone. Of course that meant the Nativity had to be moved back to the church across the street. So of course, there are numerous letters to the editor calling for this poor man’s blood (the guy who asked to put up the sign) and one guy wrote in saying that Atheists shouldn’t fight for their rights and they should just ‘shut up’ because they ‘aren’t human and will burn in hell forever’. So allllll the good vibes I got from the church play were the whole congregation was like ‘OH HI WE LOVE EVERYONE HUGS :D’ disappeared as soon as a Opened the paper. Gerg. >8[

 Dec 25: Xmas! I went over to my parent’s with my grandmother. There were no kids there that day, so it was just us adults. It was nice though, but Sluggy couldn’t make it because he was being held holiday hostage by his own family. I didn’t get much this year. My Step-Sis and her husband got my nice sketching pencils, some nice sketchbooks (one is a watercolor sketch book :D) and comic layout paper. My parents just put a few bones in my account. I spent the day loving on my dog before I went back to grandma’s where I beat Half-Life 2 for like, the 15th goddamn time.

Dec 27: Since I didn’t get the Nintendo DS I wanted for Christmas, I went out and fucking bought the damn thing myself! I picked up a DS Lite and Pokemon Platinum over at Wal-Mart. The DS itself is so fun omg. I wanted one sooooo badddd but I always feel guilty buying ‘big’ things like that, but fuck that shit. I wanted the bastard since they came out so now I have one! It’s this real pretty deep blue color/black and I have named him Beebop, continuing my Ninja Turtle Villain theme for my electronics. And guys. Guys. Pokemon Platinum. I will never ever finish anything ever again. I swear. I really wanted to get Electroplankton though, but it’s rare so I doubt It would be in stock anyway. Now I can battle pokamanz with people! Yay!

Dec 28: I’ve already sunk 10 goddamn hours into pokemon. It’s like, Meth and Crack rolled up into a syringe that you inject directly into your EYES. I have a Haunter and I named him Egon :D The only lame thing is that to get a Gengar I have to find someone with a DS that will do a swap with me. I’ll trade my Haunter to them and they’ll give me their pokemon that needs to be traded to evolve. Once they evolve you swap them back. I dunno If you can do that over Nintendo WiFi, but if any of you droogs want to trade pokemanz/battle let me know :o All my pokemanz are around the 20’s range at the moment, so you will all probably beat me anyway XD But hey that’s the fun right? I also got a quick job doing inventory at the warehouse I used to be employed, so I made some extra cash to take back to school/spend on my damn DS. Lolz.

That’s what happened for me these past few days. Gerg Holidays. I’ll be so glad to have them over and back to school. I checked my grades and got straight A’s, so I’m eager to get back and see if I can get the same thing for this semester! I hope :D

Oh also, AGOTS/Villain will double update this weekend. There will be a comic Saturday and then another will upload Sunday. Sorry again for missing last week, I couldn’t physicly get to a computer to do anything. And well next week, I’m afraid there won’t be an update, or the week after. I just can’t get to a scanner or anything, or really get on the internets much. So I’ll put up some filler arts and both comics on a hiatus until I get back to campus on the 17th. I feel awful doing this, but what can I do if I can’t scan anything/get on the net XD. I’LL STILL BE WORKING ON BOTH COMICS, I just won’t be able to scan them until then. Maybe I can borrow Sluggy’s scanner before heading back, but that’s a slim chance.

Durr :D

i also nearly forgot to mention this very interesting awareness campaign called art marathon. artists can join up and draw, streaming it or whatever, for 24 hours. the general focus is to raise awareness about the fact that there is in fact modern slaver and it is not in fact a good thing at all.

i think we can all agree on that.

while i'm not sure if i have 24 hours of my life to devote strictly to drawing these days, other artists and art lovers might be superbly interested. so go! check it out!

don't mind me, just dropping off some new years' filler art for the comic...


it'll be returning after the new year has passed, because my hand will for-sure be healed up by then. plus, most of my errands and obligations that have been slowing me up should be completed by then. MOST OF.

i hope everyone's holidays were great. i got this wiggly light-up sea anenome thing from a grab bag that is currently in running with the Big Family Gift of 09 for my favourite present. the Big Family Gift was a reservation to go hop in a tank of water with a beluga. which is pretty goddamn awesome. that's going to happen this summer, fooor sure.

and hey did anyone notice?


the charity drive broke 1000$ raised for each side! given how rough the year has been on everyone financially, i'm really impressed! i'm sure we can raise more than this, even. some supermarkets even have those little food bank donation tickets you can add at check-out. look around for those, they count too!

Derp!

Even though I had some terrible news given to me by a friend and I also got kicked off of Facebook (you can re-add me here), I had a great Christmas. Here are the gifts I got.







Missing are the uber special collectors edition of Stephen King's "Under the Dome" and Neil Gailmen's "The Graveyard Book".

Sadly due to the bad news I feel like crap. More on that later.

america's gonna have a fuckin health care reform, fuck yeah!

thanks for the holiday gift, USA :D

sorry i've been scarce lately. there's been a lot of real life things to take care of related to work, insurance, moving, theft, vehicles needing repairs, etc. still have a lot to do, but thankfully i'm off work until the 4th. i'd shout PARTAAAAY but at 27 years old, PARTAAAY is a lot more mellow than it used to be. in fact, my new years tradition i used to keep has come back - watching the twilight zone marathon on scifi channel all the way into the new year.

there's nothing quite like classic rod serling for 24 hours, let me tell you what.

[info]zarla sent me gifts, omg. one of the best posters ever made and sam keith's epicurus the sage. i love sam keith's work, oh man.

also someone sent me a brand new lavalamp! i have no idea who this person could be. maybe zar? maybe not! but either way, these three unexpected gifts really made the holidays. so...yay :>

hopefully i'll have the photos from the phish show up later tonight. i haven't had a chance to sit down and resize/resave them all yet, really. but as for all y'all reading, i hope your winter holidays are going happily. stay warm!

If you're celebrating, have a nice Christmas Eve, y'all.

If not, have a wonderfully FUCKING CHILLY EVENING *shiver*

So, heading out to have my eyes checked, and then to NYC to spend the holiday with [info]another_murray 's family.
Who, oddly enough, have decided a massive order-out of Chinese food is an appropriate holiday dinner.  XD  I am very amused.
Strangely, even though I have to say I don't really approve....  It makes me feel a bit more at ease, and a little giggly.  Hehehe.

Last night I dreamed of dozens of puppies and kittens, smothering me with love.  This was very welcome after some dream where I was having a horribly violent disagreement with someone.  woo.

Have a good whatever, everyone.  :D
