Not much to say on this journal. It initially started off to test the new, but short lived skins DA is letting everyone use for the Ninja Assassin promo. Let's hope the movie lives up to it's hype.

Now, if you've been monitoring me lately, you've probably noticed that I've been posting a bunch of work in progress shots of that outfit for Medusa, you can see that in my works in progress folder in my gallery. For the most part, the clothing itself proved to actually easier than I had first imagined it to do, especially considering I had already tried to do it before. What's proving to be a problem is actually her hair, all of things. Sure, to draw it seems relatively easy enough, but trying to get it to match up in 3D is a major pain in the butt for some reason. As such, I've gone through 3 iterations of hair and I'm still not sure I'm finished; though, I have learned a bit on what to do and what not to. I also find it quite comical that setting up UV for textures seem relatively easy after figuring out Blender's unwrap method; the rest was just getting it into position. Still have to work on the rest of her ponytail though.

If anyone has an ideas on what I can do to make my project a bit smoother, please let me know, rather than ing the work without saying anything. It's a bit of a pain to not know if I'm getting somewhere.

Also, the requests have currently be paused until I finish this project.

Lastly, like I mentioned before, I am playing around with the idea of commissions for Poser and 3D works in general. At this time, most of the Poser renders that I have content for would be around $10 or so a piece, with it possibly costing extra for things I don't have and need to create or purchase separately. Though, honestly, this appears to be unpopular with the very few watchers I have.
In any case, that's the basic idea for the commissions, though requests are still on the table, but at a much slower rate.

Okay, I think that's pretty much it. Later!

Projects Rekindled and in no particular order: Updated 11/09/2009

1. 's story images. 1/4 originally finished, in the process of redoing them.


2. Rozaline from Disgaea 2. Redoing dress and hair. 0% complete.


3. Random centaur for someone? Not sure if that's doable right now.


4. Finishing a color job for 's Mai and Whip sketch. Oy, that's proving to be harder than I had originally thought it to be. I guess this is now at 50% or more complete. WIP shots can be seen at [link] and [link]


5. Working on outfit for Medusa from Soul Eater in 3D. Original mesh appears to be uneven and too complex for Poser, reworking to lower poly model or just making the entire thing work only within Blender. Really need to get on this for the contest at Read above for more info


6. Working on his OC, Benisato. 30% or so.


7. Character scene request. Got a basic layout done, not sure if it's just right. 80% complete. Submitted part of request at [link] and still need to finish full image


8. One request from Sticky-site.com forum members. Need to model a jacket, so 40% complete.


9. Woman in cement block. Similar to other request. 0% complete


10. Writing originally proposed short story/comic. Characters: Done, for the most part. Rough outline: 90% complete.


11. Game projects: A little harder to ascertain status as RPG is in limbo due to complexity/scope creep and side-scroller only has basic story and character outlines done. Nothing much else has been looked at.
