Kinda tired

Relay for life from 22:00 to 06:00 I think I was up for something like 24 hours straight...

Anyways I just got up about an hour ago, I've been practising my drawing quite frequently over the past week and now I'm on holidays!
Two weeks of playing computer and video games, and working, and drawing and writing.
I also have a web address now, though somehow I managed to spell my name for it wrong...anyways, http://eledor.infinties.net, which is where I'll start putting up my comic once I finish sorting out how to use html again.
Unlike other webcomics I intend to have a history page as well as a cast page, as my story is part of a larger world. I might even try the whole donation wallpapers and stuff like that eventually if I start getting regular visitors.
Anyways enough of what maybe, I think I might try to detox myself this holidays, the amount of pepsi I've been drinking over the past couple of weeks can't have been good for me, and it'll be good to cut back a lot, might save my money as well...
Anyways, my friend Tenderfoot is getting married soon, and I get to go to the wedding! YAY! Hope those two have a wonderful life together.

Anyways sayonara

I'm not broke anymore!

Well if $175 makes me not broke I ain't anyway. That's more money then what I've seen in nearly three months!
Man I feel like crap, limping around, barely able to use my right hand properly, stupid blisters from onion tieing...
Anyways I had fun today, I even bought a little toy ninja sword thingy. I'm so proud.
At Tafe today, this is for DV documentary, my class that focuses on camera work and lighting and such and such, we got to do some filming.
I've gotta say choreographing a fight scene is hard work, and I looked like an idiot today!
Anyways, I've come to the conclusion that I need to be able to matain a serious face while in front of a camera, especially if I'm meant to be a henchman of some description.
Anyways, we had the only girl in our group act as the heroine, who proceeded to walk through and kill all of us henchmen, there was about six to eight of us...I am proud to say I was the first to die!
We were protecting our leader a melodramtic guy who had a big sword and liked running away while sacrificing his henchmen to the heroine. Though trust me the girl in our group can be classed as a little butch.
Anyways, I respawned once and fought the first part of the final battle against the heroine again, with three others, though I was probably the only one on time.We died vainly protecting our leader, before he engaged her in a fierce slightly choregraphed duel, before she mortally wounded him against a large tree. He then with the last of his strength pulled out a gun and shot her in the heart killing her instantly...in the end we all died...YAY!
Anyways, it was fun, other then the fact that i was still hurting from yesterday and probably pulled some leg muscles.

Tomorrow working in the rain, oh happy day...that is if it rains though...

Anyways that's enough from me, if anyone reads this anymore...*sniff*

Sayonara peeps

So...tired

I just had work today, all 8 hours and 45 minutes of it...

175 cabbages, I cut on my own, and helped pack the last thirty.
830 onions of which I personally tied 50 bunches of ten, with string, tore some skin off my little finger in the process, and something like 2000+ lettuce, of which I cut a good percentage of them.
Most of it was done with just Gavin my boss and the new guy, who somehow managed to not have organised a shower for himself, breakfast or lunch, managed to put rotten lettuce in a processing bin, can't pack for the life of him, and had no money to buy himself lunch...
But I digress work stresses aside I've got now about 14 hours of work money owed to me, maybe 12 now that I think about it... $120 I hope...
Any who haven't had anytime to even think about practsing drawing or writing yet, but I'll porbably try to get some writing in before I go to bed...
And on a sadder note, my good work buddy friend Keith was at a funeral today for one of his better friends...
Anyhows I'm tired need to have a shower and need SO MUCH SLEEP...but can't have it yet, but I'll have money soon YAY!
I hate being broke...
So guys IS ANYONE STILL ALIVE OUT THERE!?
Ahem...till next I blog,
Sayonara

Finally somethings going right!

Work started up for me last week, after two months of little to no work I'm back earning money!
Finally I can start paying debts off again, like that $220 I owe my brother...anyways I've started playing WOW again, but then I haven't played it in ages, its nice to come back to things occasionally. I read an awesome Manga, named Ruronni Kenshin, about the Meiji Period of Japan and a swordsman who was partially responsible for the overthrow of the Shogun.
I also got a weeks reprieve on that assignment I had to hand in! Phew...and here I was panicking...
My new favourite song is Overkill, played in scrubs.
And yes one of my new favourite shows is Scrubs, Dr Cox is awesome!
Anways might try and do some experimentation with backgrounds, and also do some work on my hands and feet. Maybe have them hold a sword or something...
Also with my webcomic I'll start it by having a few practise runs, with random stories and differing levels of humour and seriousness, helps me practise my story writing skills and willl teach me what its like to keep to a deadline for once...
Anyways that's enough from me, come on guys comment aways, I haven't heard nearly enough from you guys...
Sayonara folks

Another picture I drew during a lunch break. As you can clearly see it is Eledor, as I kinda think he'll appear in the Comic.
I still need a lot of work on my hands, but I can still make passable looking pictures, I guess.
Anyways what do you think of this picture. This is probably how I'm going to end up drawing Eledor with some alterations.

Man I'm getting stressed out over this game I"ve gotta make, its due in a day, and I've barely started, I'll probably be staying up to two on thursday night making a passable game. Bloody hell I've had two goddamn weeks to do this damn thing and I don't start it properly till the day before its due!
It's official I'm a stupid person, who is extremly lazy...
Anyways on a lighter note, I think I've finished my Brief 1 for 3d. A simple modelling exercise where I chose to create a pen holder thingy and chucked in a higly detailed clicker pen, that I also created, svereal Mechanical pencils, and two normaller looking pencils.
They don't look to realistic but hey, I've only just began! Bahahaha...

I have storyboarrded out the first couple of pages, but the storyboards for each page are unfortunately no higher then two centimetres, makes it very hard to tell what's meant to be happening, in an action filled manga style comic...

Anyways till next we meet, sayonara...(I wonder if I spell that right???)

Lazy week...

I've had a real lazy week this last week, didn't do a single thing to help myslef at all...just spent it playing medieval II and about an hour of WOW, not much considering the fourty or so hours I spent playing Medieval...
Anyways I saw Hot Fuzz on the weekend and it was awesome, a little slow, but the last thirty minutes has some of the most insane and hilarious action scenes I've ever seen, oh and Timothy Dalton has a major role in it as well. Its by the same people who did Shawn of the Dead, and Simon Pegg again is the titular main character, this time a hard bitten offiscious cop who was so good at his job he made the rest of the force look useless in comparison, so they sent him off to a quiet town in the country.
That's basically the first five minutes of the film, Bill Bailey also has an appearance, and Bill Nighy.
I loved it, its funny from start to finish, and should be watched by everyone.
And yes I haven't so much as drawn more then a single head this whole damn week...I hate practising, but if I want to get better at drawing I'll need to really knuckle down...
Anyways sayonara

Boy can I copy!

I've discovered the fact that if someone puts a picture in front of me, I can produce a fairly decent replicar, now if I can use those guiding images, I may be able to start producing my own original art. With my comic I'll make a sort of gag a day comic or something, where I'll try every opportunity to practise my artwork, backgrounds, character movements, characters themselves...
Then the Realm will start, if I can get the quality up...
AnywaysI've finally rearranged my room and managed to keep it clean!
My bed is now up against the wall, I've moved my big chest of draws, and boy does my room feel different, A lot more open for starters, and I have three chest of draws.
Also my sister went through two of my shelves of my bookcase, ended up with six bags of rubbish, don't quite know how it all fit in there but anyhow it was quite impressive. Now my millions of one tenth used exercise books are all neatly stored in folders. Next my wardrobe, with sveral years of acculmated junk, with five times the capacity of my bookcase...*shudder*
Anyways, still playing Medieval II, probably should get around to checking what work I need to do for TAFE, seeing as I have so much freetime...no work in about two months now...probably should look for a new job, and figure out how to save money better, saving probably more important at the moment.
Anyways, I'm fine by the way, wonder what everyone else is up to?
Sayonara

Hey's peoples, yoouse still alive?

Where'd everybody go?
Ah well, if no one feel likes telling me my pictures aren't great fine. Anyways, one of my brothers guinea pigs died today well maybe two days ago, I always wondered when too many pets would overwhelm him. He has enough trouble handling Sandro as it is.
Of course I had to bury it for him too...what am I the resident grave digger. Sure I've racked up a lot of kills from animal neglect, uh maybe thirty, but then I was young stupid and quite surprised nowadays that mum and Dad trusted me with that many guinea pigs...
Anyways I've been playing Medieval II, its a good game, except for the Grand Campaign. I don't know what it is about it but, I have to keep quitting one team to try another, I find out they're about the same then I repeat the process.
So far my favourite kingdom is the Holy Roman Empire, MEIN KAISER!
They give each team different accents based on their country of origin, though some teams are very similar to others.
I love Iron Maiden!
Anyways I'll see ya round next time...if anyone reads this again, ACH why do I have to be so BORING!

Another drawing by me!

Here's another drawing, this time I coloured it with photoshop, so tell me what ya think.
Other then that, this is a variantion of my normal Eledor picture, he lacks the eye scar, tatoo marks on his cheek, and the two scars on his left cheek.
I dub this pick, coloured Vincent.
anyways, please tell me what ya think, I didn't get any comments on my last post and its been almost a day!, or it has I sometimes lose count of them....
To top it off I have to make a game in flash in two weeks while having all of the ideas and none of the actual no how needed for it... Hooo boy...Anyways i better head off to bed...

Drawing

I decided to post an image, of a character I drew not traced, using all the correct methods for drawing manga. Though it is very similar to the guide image. But I drew it not traced it!
Its a picture of Aeries from the Saudes Saga, Return of Ruin, hence the moderny clothes.

I still have trouble drawing the hands right without a guiding image. The feet are also a pain. But it looks well proportioned for once, I usually make them to short or make their head to big.
Anyways, hope that gives you an idea where I'm up to with my drawing skills at the moment.

More details...I know...boring

Anyways, I've started writing out the intro to the Realm, and I think I will put it here now, no talking in this part.
And it is just a draft, so this is where comments would help, like a change in tone, or a suggestion for diffferent wording, or whatever. Please no vagaries, they really don't help me.
Anyways here it is, you might have read it before to, I do like rewriting my intros over and over.

Night settled over the keep like a great cloak of darkness. The only lights were those carried by the sentries patrolling the darkened walls. None noticed the hooded and cloaked figure slip onto the top of the wall.
One guard stood between it and the stairs leading down to the keep but he faced the wrong way. The figure silently moved up behind the guard, almost wraith like. In one movement it broke the unexpecting man's neck and pushed his ccrpse off the wall.
Quickly it moved down the stairs lest it be seen and opened the thick wooden door that barred its passage. Stepping through it found itself in what could only be the servants quarters. Carefully and silently the claoked figure navigated around the many bunks, a servant stirred and looked up as the figure passed his bunk. A small whimper escaped his throat as the figure looked at him for a moment, its face hidden in the shadows of its volumous hood.
The moment passed and the figure continued on dismissing the threat of the poor man. passing through a door it entered a corridor, knowing instantly where it was and where it had to go the figure began moving quickly towards the end of the corridor. Heading for the single door at the end.
The door proved no obstacle, its lock was easily picked and the figure entered a bedroom. A young woman slept noiselessly, her long aubrun hair spread out like a fan around her face. A near black sword was drawn slowly and cermoniusly from the folds of its great cloak and swung up before its shadowed face. It flowed to the side of the bed and stood over the woman for a long moment.
Suddenly she stirred and looked sleepily up at the black cloaked figure, her eyes widened in shock and she let lose a scream. The sword swung down and all became silence.

If you want ya can give me some criticism, also that's how I plan to start my comic, like the first three or four pages, anyways.
Let me have it, with teh criticism, and I'll have a revised version up at some later point. For some reason and I don't get why, but I'm banned from writing posts at BRIT, but I can look at my blog, its kinda frustraing.
Anyways, sayonara peoples

The Realm comic

Okay, now I've actually planned out the first couple of pages already, now all I have to do is wait until my drawing skill is capable of matching my storyboarding skills. I also need to work on my dialogue because I haven't decided on the specifics.
Three weeks into BRIT and I'm enjoying myself, I didn't enjoy Education, I tried but found the lectures boring sleep worthy and stuff, but with this course I can stay awake because I'm not forced to sit in a room with more then a hundred students and listen while a teacher while a teacher explains down in front what is going on. Lectures just don't work for me.
I'm also finding it kind of easy most of the time which is a good thing, but also challenging when it needs to be. Now all I have to do is start playing with the programs outside of class time to get even better.
Going back to my comic.
The main characters are Aeries, a squire of the Shandrillan knight Order, and her mentor and trainer Eledor. Later on they are joined by a young girl named Emyli, and by others but in general it will be just the two of them, encountering problems on their travels across the vast Realm.
The Realm is a massive Empire, only matched by its Southern neigbour the Aethyran Empire and by the Eastern barbarian tribes of Stanza.
The Realm is based partly on the Byzantine Empire during its prime, when its armies were on the cutting edge of science.
Anyways that's enough from me.
I like my secondary hair!(hat)
