when all the sundays were gone...
damn im under a lot of pressure. for monday ive got to do 16 drawings of which ive only drawn 8 *sigh*. for one month ive got to model a garage workshop in 3D using 3Ds max. and ive got to do a claymation project for a months time aswell. WHEN WILL THE MADDNESS END?
well on a lighter note ive started a 5 page short manga which is about an evil swordsman (good evil, HUH?) but youl here more of that in the future.
im not sure if you know but i do tutorials for drawing manga. for example: i do tutorials for some specific characters (video game characters and anime) and i also do tutorials for drawing manga in general aswell as how to start your own manga but dont ask about colouring because thats not my gig. so if you want me to make you a tutorial then by all means i shall try to fulfill your request.
well thats my bit but i hope if anyone reads this that theyll consider my offer because i just love to help out artist that need asistance in the ways of charaterization. well cheerio then.

my long story...good friday
hey all.
well i just had the best friday ever and ill tell you why.
1.at college we got the brand new computers and theyve got DVD on them aswell and theyre realy good
2. i bought 4 copic markers for R48 (at the store 1 costs R48) to get the US$ just divide by 6.5
3. i just got the whole series of vision of escalflowne( you just gotta love those guymelefs). i justs lent my megazone 23 anime dvd to that indian chap and he copied the whole series for me (hey i only pirate anime coz i just cant afford it).
ok well earlier this week i had to submit an art assignment that we had 3 weeks to do and i finished but i had to get mounting board for it, so i went to the art shop the day before i had to submit it to get the board taking my 9 pics with me (6 orthographics, 3 action poses) so i could see how much board i needed. i got 2 sheets of board and left the pics and board at the shop and went to have some juic at the mug and bean. i then went home and forgot to pick up the pics and board at the art shop only to remember when the store closed. they opened at 9 the next morning and immedietly went to find my work only to find that some scumbag had lifted my valuables. so i searched the little store but alas i could not finded it, i had a situation on my head-i had to do all my pictures again and mount it, i had until 00:00 to do it. so i slaved and toiled and eventualy finished and even though my pictures were and utter disgrace compared to my previous edition- i still managed to submit it at 23:30.
the morat...never trust stupid art store owners with valuable things and then try to convince them to give you compensation because theyl just say "F#%K you- and do your own pics that i never heard about...oh and never leave your pics in an art store.
until next time...

a month?
Has it realy been a month? well im back for the moment. sorry that i havent managed to upload any pics but ive been under quite a bit of pressure at college.
er, ive got so much to say but so little time to do it in but when my site is finshed...well we will see.
its mothers day tomorrow and i hope that you all treat your mothers well (im giving my mother an opera dvd because shes an opera singer herself).
so all, howv you been? im at a loss here...i wonder why there are so few artists have an original style. what i mean is that all the artists work looks the same on this site but maybe im being too critical.
well thats it for now but i hope you all enjoy your mothers day and ill see you next time- well not literally.

hey sorry i havent been here lately- its my april fools prank...well not realy, i just kinda neglected my position here but alls good.
anyway well ive almost finished my manga- im on page 28 so 2 more to go but im considering doing a full year graphic novel oh yeah someone asked what my url was so they could read my manga but i have to dissapoint them because my site isnt finished and im looking for a private domain but ill tell you as soon as its done.
ill upload my new pictures soon...theres a lot of them. oh yeah i want to thanks all those people who sent me funny stories, some were great and some where not so great but it realy cheered me up so now you can all tell me about your april fools prank that you did or what someone did to you, at the usual address if you want.
well im on holidays now for 17 days and ive got a huge art project to do for the first day of next term. just a review of this term- its actualy quite funny how much anime ive got since i went to college- tell me if youve heard of these: the wole series of macross, X, Witch hunter robin, helsing, noir, street fighter alpha-movie and vision of escaflowne. awsome eh? i clamed my position as 4th most skilled artist, aswell as 2nd best texturiser, and i was famed for being a realy wierd actor (i alsways look like a toss).
oh well i guess thats it for today then. enjoy your weekend will you, please. so until next time...

the news
well i didnt tell you in the last post but college animation is divided into 3 parts namely: art-teaching you good techniques and how to execute them properly; computers-photoshop, premier,3d max ect and claymation and pixelation- teaching you the physics and principles of animation and working with clay to demonstrate it.
anyway, the other night my group and i were so behind on our pixelation and so we spent the whole night (19:00 to 04:00) finishing it and it was a band scene that we had to make for out assignment that we had to do using the group members as actors. but the hard thing is when using the camera we have to put it on "stop frame record" in order to capture as is in traditional animation. everyone in our group was a band member- i played the guitar, hendri was the singer, jako was the drummer and lindy was the bass player. you should seen it coz it looked so awsome( maybe ill post it on the net one day) what was also very wierd was that the singer was done as one of them gothic type guys so it was quite freaky. i looked stupid and they made do my beard in spikes. well the others wernt too out of the ordinary but still cool. well thats all that but we have this clay project to submit on monday but we still have do edit it by this monday.
also ill have to post my anime music video that im working on- also quite cool.
oh yeah i cant submit any pics because my scanners at someone so that sucks.
well thats it for now so until next time...

i finaly managed to get a break and now im at college on the net.i dont have enough time to tell you about it now but youll hear the big story on the weekend and ill post the footage aswell, this is so exciting!
im also excited though because ive ordered a mecha model- for those of you who know the original macross/robotech series, im getting the ultimate large veritech fully transformable model from the movie-macross:do you remember love? It stands 24cm high and weighs about 1.5kg's(so you can imagine how big it is) everything is articulated including all finger joints.
well thats it...please no more request because i just dont have the time anymore, i dont even have the time to finish fire emblem. but maybe just tell me a funny story so i can share it with everyone.

Very Sorry
hi everyone, im sorry that i havent been around in sometime because i havent had a phone line for 2 weeks and still dont.
i have some good and bad news.
firstly the good- so far im realy striving through college always doing my best and getting the marks i deserve. also im half way through my new manga aswell and ive done a ton of new pictures.
the bad news- im very sorry to tell you this but there is a chance that i may not be on the net very much because my family is in financial trouble and i may not even get the net back (im on at college)
so im very sorry but hopefully things will pull through.
im just sad to dissapoint all those guests on my site but dont be offended if i dont visit your site because i dont have the net.
well this is it i guess but please keep visiting my site because i will try to post.
ill be seeying you then...sob
yours sincerely,
