05:05 pm
So I already wasn't posting anyway, but now there's a stupid internet strike, so I HAVE to post if I'm going to maintain my cred as an internet rebel.

There's a concert tomorrow at the glassworks in Louisville, KY at 8 PM. There will be something, like, a hojillion bands there, but most relevant to myself, Bryan Scary and the Shredding Tears will be doing their thing. Even more relevantly, there will be a sneak preview of the music video for "Imitation of the Sky" which has been being worked on for a while, and I think is far enough along that I can afford to talk about it a little more openly.

The video is not done yet, so this is kind of an "in progress" preview that will probably not be made a very big deal. It doesn't have too far to go though, so fairly soon it will (hopefully) take the intertrons by storm. I think it looks pretty neat.

It's kind of a sad video.  :(

If you're not in the Louisville area, you're probably better off waiting until this hits the net at large in April. If you are in Louisville, odds are you already know about this and are going, in which case I'll see you there. If not, well then, shame on you, you jerk.

03:23 am - Happy Halloweeeeenalmostbutnotquite
So, the old live journal. Seems to be falling into... a bit of dis-use? And hey... I got a good... two of those requests done before vanishing from livejournal land. So that's good. I might get back on them at some point.

But between then and now I have graduated from college, moved home, dealt with nice family drama, went to a contest in California, and started work on my first sort of "freelance" animationy directory type... deal.

Yeah, I'm directing a thing. No, it's not Little Kitty Jam Jams. I'm actually not sure if we're allowed to talk about it before it's done, so I won't go into details, but most of you probably know exactly what I'm talking about anyway.

So, just to show that I'm alive, I'm gonna stick a screenshot from it up here. It's sort of pretty, and does not actually give very much away.



So yeah, we're fine. Everything's Fine. We're all fine here. Now. How are you?

08:47 pm - Yub yub.


Requested by [info]blueeyedgirl519

I almost didn't do this one because I was all "ugh, Star Wars? Really?" But then I thought about how Ewoks have no idea how to drive anything at all, and how delightfully suicidal they are, so I went ahead and got it out of the way anyway. I doodled this in pencil, and it is colored entirely in Flash.

Keep the requests coming! I'm going to try to put one up every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, but we'll see how that goes. And just so you know, I'm not doing any more Star Wars. Unless it's really really cool / funny.

02:12 pm - The Scottish Centaur!


Requested by [info]larnsturt.

I was going to actually draw him holding a caber and drinking whiskey, but it would have looked stupid. Trust me when I say that this centaur is doing it in his heart, and as often as possible in his free time. When he's not busy being freaked out by his own chest hair and nipples.

BONUS!
Comment, in quotes, with what you imagine a Scottish Centaur would scream in alarm! You have to phonetically spell out his horrible accent, or it doesn't count!

10:19 pm - Free Art, anyone?
Commission Post!

I am taking Commissions for art. Right here, right now.

You do not have to pay for this art (So I guess they aren't really commissions. Hm). I need to pad out my portfolio, and have decided, for kicks, to draw things, for you. Even if I don't know you. You don't even have to have a livejournal account.

Just post here and ask me to draw something, and I will draw it! Cartoony, realistic, rendered, architectural, comic-panels, animated gifs, whatever. I am going to select whatever requests are cool, and I'm going to try to do one a day every day starting tomorrow, Friday, until I run out of good requests. Bring it!

The faintest of conditions! If you request something exorbitantly complicated or ridiculous I probably won't do it (unless nobody else requests anything). I will do Fan Art, but only if I'm actually a Fan of the thing in question, and would rather it not be the bulk of what I do as I am looking for more original, portfolio stuff. So feel free to request it, just know it's gonna fall lower on the priorities of what I do. If you want a comic keep it to 4 panels maximum, if you want an animated gif, make it a loop. Don't post any scripts here. Animation fun comes later.

Everything else is fair game! Tell your friends! Tell your enemies! I will try my best not to suck.

05:58 pm - Hey there, baby. Did you miss me?
So yeah. Remember these guys? I haven't drawn them, especially in any context in about 2-3 years.



So I figure, what better way to see if I'm improving than try drawing them again? Only I actually have defined backstories for the characters, and have pushed their styles more than they used to be pushed.

I'd thought this was what I was doing all along, but I wasn't very good at it. Pictures behind the cut.

08:02 am - Oh good, Star Wars.
From now on, I'm only posting Art here. If you want to read amusing (boring) anecdotes about me personally, go to the new Will White journal!

So here's some art.





Trying some new junk in photoshop. These are storyboards for my advanced storyboarding class. I did 10 of them, but the other 8 aren't totally done yet. If people like these I'll stick up the rest of them when they're done.

And yes, it's a brief scene set in the Star Wars universe. I was assigned "actors" (and yes I HAD to do Star Wars) but otherwise got to make up whatever I want for the story. That's supposed to be Daniel Craig (the new James Bond) but real people are super tricky to draw, dudes.

02:23 am - To Double-Oh Seven
Happy New Year!

There are several matters for discussion.

I came down to SCAD a week early for New Years party times with Cari, which was great, but then afterwards there was no internet in the dorms. There's... actually still not official internet here, but other people have moved in now, and fortunately there are some schmucks who have their own internet AND a wireless router AND don't bother to password protect it, so I've beaten the system slightly early. Did you miss me?

This, coupled with the fact that no one has been here, has forced me to actually be productive. For the first time since I started the Senior Project it's actually marginally ahead of schedule! Hopefully it can push moreso, rather than getting put off for other classes and/or video games.

For Christmas I got several nice things, but most prominently a new bicycle from my father. I haven't ridden a bike since probably middle school (but it came back to me like, well, you know) and my New Years resolution is to actually ride it to most of my classes. This should make me the healthiest boy, so watch out, everybody else!

Mostly, my classes this term are, for the first time, all on the same day. I have classes all day from 8 am to 7:30 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays, but no classes at any other point. What does that mean? Four day weekends. Every week.

A lot of people swear by this schedule, but I've been avoiding it because I wasn't sure if I'd be disciplined enough to make proper homework usage of the off days.

But I hope I do, if only because I really really want to get this animated thingy done. Because I keep having other ideas for shorts and characters and settings at a rate that I don't think I've ever had going before, and I'd feel like I was betraying the current project if I started developing another one before I've even barely scratced its surface.

And that's kinda what it feels like.
Ah well. Onward!



P.S. I saw "Children of Men" last night with Spencer and the Goils, if anybody's interested I'll talk about it in the comments, but let's just say it's a candidate for Sad Movie / Happy Movie Night. A really enjoyable flick, but not one I'll watch again casually very soon.

P.P.S. I was only half paying attention to the synopsis of the movie Cari gave me and, from the title, assumed the plot was going to be similar to that of "Nine Months". I almost asked the ticket booth chick for two tickets to "Man Babies". Fortunately, I did not do this.

Does anybody else wish "Eragon" was just a movie about dragons on the internet?

I think I would rather see that movie.
