Now that I got your attention...





Time for some updates!

Projects:
First, after finishing 's request, I was left with only a couple of linearts to color. One was the Kahoru Fujiwara presentation which I finished on monday, and the second one is still Work In Progress. I'm not going to share much details but I'm aiming at a project that should be at least a bit funny, I got such an awkward sense of humor that perhaps the only person that is amused by it is myself. HAHA *Bursts in tears*.

I've also finished another lineart. A PAC Soldier with an AK-103. This was more to get again familiarized with the concept of body proportions. Not exactly a complicated project but it came out pretty good on line. AND I started and finished the lineart (In Pencil) within 1 day. So it was a pretty encouraging success.

Right now I'm on stand by for a commision from . A commision he's been waiting for since January so it was about time I decided to get on it. There's another one who I've been negotiating for a commision but I have yet to contact him, I will do so when I'm done with Lamnay's commision. After that I'll see if It's wise to take further commisions.


Ok.... so what are my personal projects for the year.

Well, there are two main projects.

The first one I'm calling "Project: Warriors". The project is a flash dress-em-up/avatar-generator game. The idea is that the player chooses a male or female "base" model and then select the skin color (Haven't quite decided how many variations but it shouldn't be more than 6). Following that, the players gets to customize the face of it's "avatar", different styles of eyes, eyebrows, noses, mouth, chin shape, cheek shapes, front and rear hair styles and colors. And then...... it's when things should get very interesting. The Player will be able to select a large variety of mainly military clothing. Battle Dress Uniforms, Army Combat Uniforms, Marine Combat Utility Uniforms, Other nations BDUs (If they're significantly different from the previous three I mentioned), Different types of Combat helmets, ballistic protection, caps, glasses, masks, gloves, boots, etc etc etc. And the majority of the uniforms, helmets, vests and bags will be available in many different camouflage patterns. Some very popular ones and other's not so much.
I'm talking about being able to customize your avatar with A LOT of options. I've made a list but it's pretty long to write down in it's entirety. I will be aiming to portray those clothes and equipments as close and realistic as I can. And it's not just traditional military clothes only, I'll be adding a few "civilian" pieces of clothes in case the player wants to create a more insurgent or spec-ops like character.
I have not decided yet whether I should include guns to this mix or not. The amount of stuff I'm planning to do for this is already pretty large. Adding guns (Not including being able to customize these) would be a major issue because there are a lot of them, it's not just the M16 or the AK47 out there. Perhaps not for now but maybe for an after release update.

I still haven't drawn the bases but since it's a MASSIVE project, I wouldn't count on it to be ready in a few months only. Now, I won't dedicate myself entirely to this, I will still be doing some smaller projects and comissions.


The other project is called "Project: Die Engel". First manga project. AT LEAST!!! And it's called "The Angels"..... I think singing Aleluya would fit for this situation. But no, the name is merely the project, the manga itself shall have another name, which I haven't decided yet. This too is a long term project (Bummer) but in the next few months, I oughta get started with the scrip for the manga, I can't jump on it without a script and carefully thought plan. So.... the project will start as a script.
Just to give you a slight idea what the story is about I'll let you know that's it's set in World war three (Seems like the name Angels is wholly misplaced here) and it's about the combat experiences of a group of German Air Force pilots. I got a plot idea in my head that's pretty good in my opinion. I think I've mentioned before about my intentions to do this project before.


I also got other smaller, less important projects which are mostly fanart. Strike Witches, You're under Arrest, that Cobra 11 picture I was talking about a couple of years ago. Nothing in urgent need.


Classes:
Well, I'm back at German language lessons. Classes are fun, trying to burn all the articles's proper use in my head, not so much.

And next Friday I'll be taking a special Comic class at a local education center. It's a basic class where they'll teach how to draw realistically, american style, anime style among other things. Some of you may think that I don't need to take classes but, I'm very self-taught and in the process of developing my style on my own, I may have skipped a couple of very important steps in the road of becoming a more professional like artist. What I learn could vastly improve the way I draw my pictures, but I promise that the style will be the same. 'Though I may upload some of my nonj-typical artwork just to get your opinion.

I have high hopes on this.


Movies that I have watched and will watch:
Last Sunday I went with my family and saw the film "The Avengers" (AVENGE ME!!! AVENGE ME!!! lol...... I think that fits more for a Red Dawn reference). Pretty awesome and fun. We watched it in 3-D but I'm afraid watching those films in 3-D kinda breaks the quality of it. If you haven't watched it, I strongly suggest to do so, but it'0s always good to have the films, Captain America: The first Avenger and Thor fresh in the mind.

Next weekend I hope I can go watch "Battleship".... because....... SERIOUSLY!? I have to say it?! BIG GUNS BABY! All I want to see is those big old-school cannons do some old-school damage on those pesky aliens. BOOM BOOM BOOM!
Aside from that I don't expect a marvel of any artistic value. Just a high budget action film in which *Sigh* 'merica saves the world yet again. But meh.... I am a sucker for that kind of films.

Other films I'm mighty looking forward to is "The Dark Knight Rises", "The Expendables 2" and maybe "GI Joe 2"....... because Bruce Willis man. One can't say no to the action star veterans.
Speaking of Bruce Willis, I've heard that Die Hard 5 in being filmed since April...... WOOT!!! And a script for a sequel to Battle LA is being written. YAY!

*Dies*

Ok.... I'll have to cut this journal "short" for now.

I also wanted to talk about some upcoming games as well as recently released ones. Also I think it's time I update my position on certain world events that have been happening lately in the world. But that's definitively going to suck up my time. @_@

If you got anything you want to discuss with me, I'm always to be found here. Just be patient on the reply.

Ladies, Gentlemen, See'ya in the Battlefield!
