Been a while

Hey guys

Been a while, I'll admit, anywho I'm expecting some holidays to be coming up, which I intend to spend a bit of time by catching up on the things I've been neglecting. Essentially at the moment I feel I've got into a bit of rythym at work and things seem to be working out pretty well. I think I'm pretty useful at the moment, so I'm pretty certain my job is pretty safe now.
Anyway I have been seriously neglecting my drawing, though I have been doing a drawing class, which is mainly just a refresher on proper drawing techniques then me learning anything new.
Expect some new pages for Sandhurst Academy to appear on my website in the next two months I won't promise frequent updates but a few should make their way up onto the website between now and the end of the year. And I'm also beginning to start drawing Children of Prometheus, at least the early roughs for some pages.
On the TICTTAS front, I'm almost considering dropping it in favor of a more serious series, which would lend itself better to parody, like Darker Than Black or even the Armitage movies. Might be fun who knows, I think I'll get one episode of TICTTAS done, see what and if the general response is, and maybe switch to something different. Anyway other then that, my time is being taken for organising a roleplaying game for my friends as well as my standard anime and manga viewing which I do a lot of.
And I bought an A3 capable scanner/printer/fax which means I can finally scan some of my larger pictures for web viewage. The other factors for a lack of activity is the acquisition of a new computer, as I slowly bring everything over to it. Plus I have two screens now. Which is actually really cool.

Anywho, expect some updates to my website in the next two months, inlcuding possibly some more details on the CoP comic I'm currently working on with two of my friends. I'm not going to say much about it, as it'll probably spoil it, other then it is based of a roleplaying game we are still currently playing.

Sayonara folks!

Election time

Hey people's

It's election time in Australia, and that means practically nothing to me, but above and beyond...I'm really sad, as my favourite character in Bleach may have just been killed off :( SAD FACE, this is where Orihime would be awesome to appear...but I'll have to wait till next week to find out...

Anywho, got a new comic in the works to run concurrently with Sandhurst, labelled Children of Prometheus, or as I abbreviate it, CoP. Following the adventures of a rag tag bunch of guys and gals, as they do stuff. It's a superhero comic, but done in a style similar to Heroes, but a heck of a lot less cryptic...well at first at any rate.

Anywho I should have a new Sandhurst page up this weekend, most likely Sunday, as I delve into the wonders of a noir styled comic.

Sayonara folks!

Onwards and Upwards

Heya Folks,

Been a real quiet week at work so far, maybe its waiting around a corner to ambush us, but at the moment, its looking okay. As long as nothing bad happens, and I keep on top of things, I think things will be fine(fingers crossed).

Anywho on other more fun things, uhrmmmm, hmmm, oh yeah did you see those two pages I put up, wait already mentioned them, uhrrmmm, well...I'm going into money saving mode at the moment, I'm gonna be holding off on large spending sprees for a little, as I'm trying to build up some cash, to do what with I'm not to sure to be honest, but having a bit of cash on hand is always pretty nice.

Another thing I'm planning on doing is getting a debit card, earning money is nice and all but when you can't pay for things online it tends to suck a little, especially when the things you want, can only be bought online.

Hmmm, other then that, I really need to upgrade the old bombshell I have of a computer, I've managed to extend its lifetime somewhat, by replacing some parts here and there, but when its still operating on a single core processor, it tends to you know be not...so...good...yeah...

Although I definitely like Windows 7, much quicker, then my old slowly dieing XP, and my work computer which operates on Vista, plus has a broken screen...yes anyway.

Anywho, so things seem to be okay, but I'm gonna be super vigilant for a good long while, to hopefully catch anything before it becomes a major issue. And here I thought I was pretty good at the whole customer service rep, BB tech thing, ah well, ya snooze ya get fired from a large cannon into the stratosphere where you fall down and burn up in the atmosphere, before smacking into the ocean at terminal velocity, and well you know, smeer into nothing.

On that note,

Sayonara folks!

Bleh

Heya Folks

We've finally got everything back in order, and now I'm standing on a precarious edge at work. To be honest I had a sinking feeling that something like this was happening, just didn't realize it'd be as bad as it was...

And well, if I don't improve, I'll probably be looking for another job at some point...
Bit of an eye opening really...

Sayonara folks

Good news everyone!

Heya folks

I've sorted out the technical issues so there will be a double update of Sandhurst Academy this weekend, to make up for missing last week.

Sayonara folks!

BWAG!

Heya Folks

Got some bad news on the comic front, due to some technical difficulties I'm having trouble getting the next page up :(, stupid old computer thingy, in desperate need of upgrade...Anywho, blah, actually a little frustrating as the next page is ready to go up, but gah...

SAD FACE :(

Sayonara Folks

And so we march on

Heya Folks

Page 26 of my comic is up now, so if you're interested you can go check, its apparantly not to bad, or so I've been told, much to my own surprise.

An update on Captain Tylor the Abridged Series, I screened it in front of a couple friends, and recieved something of a lukewarm reception(to say it lightly), so I'm redoing the first episode from scratch, I'm not planning to take nearly as long with it(probably a month so halfway through June), but its gonna be like twenty times betterer or something. Not that I have anything to show just yet, maybe I'll put up some sound tests for the different characters, or a meet the character thing.

So in other words regular weekly updates of my comic has started again, at the moment it will only be 1 a week, but eventually I'll move up to two a week, and hopefully eventually five a week. the pages on the whole aren't that complex and if I get my act into gear I can easily get a fair few done in a short period of time(maybe).

Anywhoisitanyway, I bought a new DS last week, and well haven't really done much with it yet, and I went and visited the old Melbourne Zoo, saw a bunch of animals, looked like a hippy nerd thing...or something and uh complained a lot about only having four hours of sleep. Then paid for everyone's tea at an expensive(maybe average priced) restaurant, which I do want to paid back on guys, $158 ain't anything to sniff at, *sniff, I would be less annoyed if we weren't only a short walk from McDonalds(cheap food FTW), but I digress.

I also bought a bunch of mangas and anime while visiting Borders.

I have to say my manga collection has effectively ballooned out into a massive monstrosity since I got my job, my Anime collection now includes
Complete Series:
Gundam Wing/Endless Waltz
Gundam Seed/Destiny
Big O
Claymore(may have a 2nd season out yet)
Ouran High School(same for this one)
.hack/sign
Sayuiki(haven't actually watched it yet
Disagea
Excel Saga
FMP/Fumoffu
Captain Tylor/OVA(this is what my abridged series will be based on)
Devil May Cry
School Rumble
Samurai Deeper Kyo(watched the first episode and haven't bothered with the rest)
Gundam 0083
Gundam 08th Team

As you can see I'm a bit of a Gundam Fan, when I was tossing up ideas when trying to decide what show to do an abridged Series on, I thought about doing Gundam Seed, or Wing, but people had already beat me to the punch, i settled for FMP, but just as I had finished a third of the first episode, I found someone had again beaten me to the punch, a little sad I switched to Captain Tylor, a series that I really do love, but I had lost my steam for a while, and work started tiring me out a heck of a lot. So nothing happened for a while, then I finally started work on it, and well yeah the result was less then stella, so back to the drawing board. I'm going to tightly script this one unlike my last attempt, where I was sorta coming up with it on the fly, and basically forgot the whole parody part of the concept of abridging.

Anywho that's enough from me...

Sayonara folks!

The Realm

Heya folks

Just thought I'd lay some ground work for what will be my next comic work after Sandhurst Academy comes to a close(when I get myself back into gear of course and Sandhurst Academy will actually have an end to it)

Anywho this work is one I've been working on for several years now, which Sandhurst Academy is meant mainly to be practice before I start this one.
The world of the Realm is located in a sort of mirrored Medieval Europe(so all the countries are back to front on the map) and is centered on the Chandrillan Empire, which was directly inspired by the late Byzantine Empire, which I started doing some reading on after I played Medieval Total War and found them to be my favorite team.
It focuses on the adventures of an atypical Knight and his idealistic squire as they journey across this vast country, encountering foes and allies as they go.

The atypical knight is named Eledor, a white haired somewhat mercenary, gruff, and distant veteran of a number of battles and wars. And his squire is named Aeries, who is a red haired idealistic individual who strives to change Eledor's attitude for the better and to help those in need around them whenever they can.

I'm not really going to reveal to much about them as of yet, as it could spoil the story, and we can't have that :)

Anywho other then that Sandhurst Academy will resume updating on Sunday the 16th of May I have got a number of pages done in advance, and should be able to produce them at a more steady rate, for now I will be sticking to one a week, but that number will go up as I do have some things I want to try in this odd and fairly quirky story I'm doing with it, and I don't plan on spending five years working on the one thing.

Captain Tylor the Abridgination, will be up by the end of this week, and if I don't get it done...I'll....uh...promise to get it done next week or something...yeah...

Other then that I'll possibly be posting up some character pictures I've been working on. And I've been racking up a few as I go along.

Anywhoisit that's enough from me, and stuff

Sayonara folks!

Well Hey and Stuff

Heya folks,

Well life continues on and stuff, jut did Relay for Life, and walked for about two or so hours straight, even managed to run 400 metres, before I fell over and died...





Well as you can see I got better, though my knees are going "OH MY GOD WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO US, NOW YOU WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO SIT CROSS-LEGGED WITHOUT IT HURTING!" and I'm like, "ow".

Anywho, I'm am gonna aim for getting the first episode of Captain Tylor the Abridged Series up by the end of April, what with it being the eighteenth that leaves me a few days to get it done, I just have the last two minutes to do, and it should hopefully be done! YAY done.
Once I get past that small hurdle I'll be on to the next couple of episodes, which are less introducing characters and background plot, and more me with a tonne of ideas to get them done. And maybe just maybe I'll be able to get these out faster then the first episode(ahem 1 year+)
On the Sandhurst Academy front, which also translates to website front, updates will be resuming soon, probably mid may, at the latest, and hopefully I'll be able to shell pages out a bit faster, then what I have been currently(ahem 4 months for 1 page)
Anywho other then that, hmm, my brother moved out, my sister is getting stressed at university, and I'm doing rather well at my job, I assume I am as they don't yell at me.
Other then that, um...uh...hmmm....ah....well this is awkward, oh wait, exchange student is now staying at the house I live in again, and I cleaned up my room, so its not so much a battlefield and mroe of a living area, though my bed is a little uninhabitable at the moment, what with junk piled up on it.
Uhrm, yeah...

Sayonara folks!

Klicking along

Hey People(If anyone still bothers to look here occasionally at any rate)

I'm alive and stuff, my computer decided to have something resembling a heart attack, just as my website may have been hacked at some point, which was intersting, as I wasn't sure if I could recover the entirety of my website for a little bit there. Oh well in the past now.
So long story short I'm now running Windows 7 off my old beast, I recovered most of the software I had initially on the machine, but still need to organise myself to install Microsoft Office back on it, from one of the old copies my Dad has lying around,(he has something like 3 or 4 copies, all apparantly legit with watermarks and fancy coloured discs and what not)
My abridged series thing has actually seen progress finally after a long period of stagnation, the first episode is looking at 6:35 atm, and will probably be extended another 2 or three minutes, but its very close, I just need to sort out why my voice recordings atm are coming across very quiet(could just because I'm trying not to be overheard while sounding like an idiot, I'm easily embarrassed)
Comic wise, I've been drawing pages, just not putting them up, as I'm trying to get back in the swing of things, and get a better handle on my character drawingness, and I think I've seem some improvement, plus I'm also working on including backgrounds into my drawings and stuff as for a while I was avoiding drawing them as much as possible.

Anywhosit Sayonara Folks!
