WHY!!!

   Damnation!?!  Oh god, why do they always come out with things similar to the things I'm working on!?!  WHY!?!  I assure all of you, that I haven't heard of this until today.  Look at it, one of the characters is wearing a metal half-bra!!!  That wouldn't happen in a victorian era!!!  
   Thankfully, this game looks miserable.  This makes my game all the more gnar.  Seriously, a metal half-bra?  How many female game characters are actually not made to turn on guys?

Note:  For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, Damnation is a new crappy video game.  If you want to know more, just Google it.

Whats Been on the Goings On

   Howdy-doo!  I've been working on my game, and I've almost finished Sir Steampunk.  This is really going to take a long time, seeing as I haven't even finished 1 character.
   I started on a comic the other day.  It's called "Cap'n Walrus' Educomics Presents: Hobos."  This won't take too long, but it won't be done in a couple of seconds or anything.  I'll probably put it here and give it away at a couple of local areas.
   Last week, I made a drawing called "Lemon Zombie."  I wanted it to have a sort of parchment feel, so I soaked it in coffee last night.  It came out well, and today I colored it with watercolor.  That was a BAD idea.  Now it looks like some horrible stain.  I might redo it some time, and color it with markers, but not soon (I'm sick of that guy.)  
   On another note, I have about ten more shots to do for "Vorb".  Most of them are really simple, and won't take but a few minutes.  There is one that features an angry mob, so that will take a bit longer, but by next Monday, I think I'll have the shooting done.
   End transmission.

DSi

   The other day I was talking about how the Nintendo DSi is coming to the States on April 5th.  My friend said that it's a piece of junk, seeing as the camera is worse than that of any cell phone, and according to him, the music player sucks too.  I pointed out that it has web surfing and you can buy games of the interwebs for it.  He dubbed it as "more things to spend money on."
   I was thinking about that today after I read an article about netbooks in Wired.  I realized that you could almost use the DSi as a netbook using its web browser.  You could even import pictures from a camera better than the DSi's using it's SD card slot.  Those could even be edited in the photo-doodling app thing in it.
   I also realized that its gonna be great for homebrew games with the SD card slot.  In the past you had to buy a special cartridge that could have SD card's put into it, and it was almost impossible to find since it was illegal. (I think.)  Now I can possibly put Sir Steampunk on my DSi, YAY!!!
   Sooo, what was the purpose of this again?

Snakey Jack 'n' Ice Cream


  So, I read Jhonen Vasquez's blog post, and saw how good he was at drawing when he was younger than me.  I decided to go work on my awesomeness,  (yes, it can, in fact, be improved) and made this.

  After going over the lines with ink, I figured it'd be cool to edit in Photoshop.  After days, I scanned it.  When I started Photoshopping it, though, I realized that I hadn't erased my pencil markings.  I was going to erase them, then realized that it looked really cool to add color to something that sketchy.  After many hours, I present it to you:

Digi-Doodle


Now right 'ere, you can see a crappy doodle I just made on Photoshop.  Please excuse the lame title.

Lighthouse


   Okay, I'm bored of these Lighthouse posts, but here's one more.  On Sunday, I got a couple of  shots done.  The end.

   Alright, time for a REAL post.  I've been working on a game using the dim3 engine.  It's called "Steampunk Man," or maybe "Steampunk Sir," or "Sir Steampunk." I'm not sure about the name, tell me what it should be in the comments.  Anyway, it's a first-person-shooter (is that hyphenated?) about this guy who has like a steampunk arm with a revolver in it, and he lives in steampunk times, and he shoots stuff.  I really haven't worked on the story much, but it's gonna be cool.  I'm still learning how to use this program and the others needed, so it probably won't be done for awhile, but it's still gonna be GNAR!  Wow,  it's been awhile since I used that.  Here's a pic of the character dude.

Movie Progress 2

Sorry I'm making this late.  On Thursday at Lighthouse, I managed to take a shot of Vorb eating a tractor.  AND THAT'S IT!!!!

Movie Progress 1

Hey! This is a section I'll be updating every Thursday and Sunday about my progress on Vorb and the Power of the Blues.  It's being made with claymation at Lighthouse Studios.  I'm not gonna explain much of it because it's waaay too weird to make sense in words.  You (if anyone reads this) will just have to wait until this summer when I finish it to see it.
Anyway, today I finished about two shots, one was Vorb running and eating through a fence, the other consisted of him running and eating through a cow.  I work the whole time, but for some reason, I can only get a couple of shots done a day.  It makes me feel like a slacker.

Let's Begin, Shall We?

'Ello there!  Welcome to the Database, where I shall continue to inform you about what I find that's gnar, could be gnar, would be gnar, or is the opposite of gnar.  As time goes by, it will all work out, but for now, this blog isn't gnar. STAY TUNED!!!
