Hello again folks as I welcome you to another post (albiet I'll be keeping this one brief so I can get to be super early tonight and get a fresh start tomorrow morning). With the advent of having my own art software fail me and thus set me back on progress of a picture, and brushing up on my math skills by taking an online test (and barely failing it, if that makes any sense) and getting curiously interested in reading up on my Gamemaker software, I think I'm having a bit of a refocus as to what areas I really want to develop myself creatively. For the longest time I've been focusing more or less strictly on my artwork, but since I am gung-ho on being involved in the game industry and am trying to build up the skills on my own and a portfolio while I await having the cash and an opportunity to go to school, I have decided to honestly begin more focus on that area and over the next few months I plan on becoming as knowledgable with the program as humanly possible. I'll be doing things in little chunks and posting progress up on the blog I suppose weekly or every few days-whenever shit gets done-b/c if I'm really serious about this, I need to start focusing on it and putting the efforts out there for feedback and just to show that I can get it done, and to see how my skills progress. So yes, here's a cheer to getting serious and focusing on my game design/programming skills, and not too long from now I wanna really get back into sound engineering/audio music creation as well. There's so many tunes I'd like to compose, and new techniques to try as the music's been infecting my soul lately.
So let us see,...other than that shit, I also have a few more art projects I wanna work on, but specifically what those'll be (after the two comission-esque projects) is still a curiosity even to me. The main goal of course is that I pay equal focus to traditional skill development and digital skill development, both seperately and intermangling them together (don't c'ha love it when the shit mixes up togetha?), and while at it, some rumidetary 3d modeling won't hurt. But I know already people, it's not enough to just SAY you're gonna do shit; progress and result gotta be had, and that's exactly what I plan on doing around here. Not saying you'll be able to know when shit's coming like I'm a robot on a schedule or shit like that, but I want it to be fairly consistent. That's the LEAST I can do, personally. Oh and that comic I was talkin' about is getting prime for exposure, but again that's for another time.
Mmm what else? Well I'm fending on practicing up my SmashBros Brawl technique around tomorrow and shit when I got free time, and play through Sector 6 of Iji (game's getting proper "challenging" now, and loved that fight with the Assassin even if it took me half the fight to figure out a strategy with the puny shotgun as my main weapon and a fully charged jump which SAVED MY FUCKING LIFE ON SO MANY OCCASIONS. Oho, you cannot underestimate the jump folks). While at it, here's hoping I finally get my hands on the Big N's magma opus of '07, Mario Galaxy. Been wanting that for a while, and I'll see if Kirby wants my attention too. Then there's some seriou job hunting to be had though sadly art jobs around my way are very few and far between, so maybe getting art work for a comic or manga or just as a character or set designer it okay, but that's still a while off. Do need work though, that's for sure. Mmm and-this is just off the record-but if you haven't already, please go an' see Zack and Miri Make A Porno. I honestly sorta think it's between that and Tropic Thunder for comedy of the year, barring me getting a chance to see Role Models and Pineapple Express and having some different thoughts.
Mmm, about tomorrow's post,...I have no idea. Let's keep the doors open on that one, and maybe something big an' good will go through my head. Personally I wouldn't mind getting a little political, but who knows. We'll see. Anyways, the night's growing long and the eyes growing tired. This is John signing off, wishing you a merry good sleep and the energy to see tomorrow as a great and awesomely ass kicking day, as it always should be. 'Till then, later
