Status update on everything!!!

Lol, yea I suck and keeping up with this damn thing. Anyways like the title suggest this is one huge update about what’s been going on or whatnot.

Art

Been working on attempting comic drawing/writing for a while now and still failing, though I just thought of some cute small comics I’m gonna try out staring Nel. Also I’ve been working on learning to color with photoshop, illustrator, and flash since my awesome xara and sai free trials are out and I has no money. Yet. Be sure to check my DeviantArt page for art updates and whatnot. Haven’t been doing any sculpting or working on dolls since I do not have a safe environment in which to do so. My little one gets into everything now. If anyone wants to maybe commission me to draw something for them and give me a couple dollars I’d very much appritiate it too.XD

Website/Flash

Has come to a complete standstill. All animations and website making has stopped for the time being and will be picked up again later.

Life

I am in desperate need of a new computer. This one ridiculously sucks now. It’s dieing. The poor things screen is going dark and it is pathetically slow and unreliable. It can seriously only do one thing at a time now… which isn’t good for me. Also need another external because I am completely out of space and don’t think I can cram things much more.

Welp that’s all I can think of to blah about for now. I’ll try to come back and post on a fairly regular basis.. but I wont guarantee it.

Macchan – End massive absence update.

Where’s the trick-r-treating at!!XD

Macchan — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 20:53:25 +0000

Yeah, something that always happens with moving every year or so is that I never know when or where the trick-r-treating is. It hasn’t been so bad but this year it really sucks, since Nel can finally walk and such on her own to actually go. Well… she could have gone when she was younger but that in reality would just be me using her for candy.XD …kinda what I’m still doing…

Anyways aside from not knowing when or where to go I know have to worry about this stupid H1N1 virus and people not being sanitary… not sure if I really want her to go off taking candy from strangers that has gathered who knows how many evil germs in the time it has been waiting. Damn I’m so paranoid lately from what people have been saying of Nel getting that nasty thing… could care less if I got it but I don’t want her to get it… which means I need to try to get it too… GAH!!!-_-;

Macchan – End candy rave.

Slight change of direction…

Alright, turns out that I think a short chibi movie is still a little much for me to chew, so I’m going smaller. Asked my friend and she suggesting I animate a seed growing into a tree, and that is exactly what I am now working on. Seems much more realistic and approachable for a first flash animation project don’t you think? Anyways, here’s what I have so far.

Light bulb!

Macchan — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 23:34:05 +0000

Whoot! Just had an awesome idea of what I should do with Red and Wolf before I get any comics done and made with them. Something simple… yet not to simple. I wanna try and make a short flash movie!!! This will also help me with learning how to better animate and draw in flash.

Anyways I wannit to not be too long, no speaking either. If necessary only word bubbles. Will need music, but I’ll deal with that after its done. Don’t wanna give away to much of the story with it, but i kinda wannit to go all the way through. Simplistic chibi style too… basically think Cat Soup. That I think will be my inspiration kinda… dono what Cat Soup is? It’s a short Japanese animation about 30mins long. Try googling it. Later.

Macchan – End random light bulb…

Haircuts & houses & jobs oh my!

Macchan — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 02:08:13 +0000

Once again I’m slacking on posting. Ah well, things have been rather hectic and busy. I finally got my haircut… sometime around the end of February I think. I like having it short, but the style the lady gave me I absolutely hated. Basically she gave me the little lad hair cut from that guy in the berries & cream starbursts commercials. Yea, that. I go in wanting something fresh, young and trendy and I get THAT. It’s partially my fault though, I need to be more vocal. When I got back I took a pair of scissors to my hair to try and get rid of that awful candy corn shape, thankfully it seems I succeeded so now I am satisfied. I still plan on trying to get what I wanted styled later own when it grows back some.

Aside from that we are planning on buying a house and moving.^^ Yay! No more crappy existence in one room!! Sad part about this though is that I have to leave my lovely Nel some and work… first I was all gunho about it but now… I’m starting to get cold feet. I’ve only ever left her once and that was just for an hour… so yea.. I’m having separation issues. So scary!!!

Macchan – End catch-up blah

Still have not cut it

Macchan — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 02:23:57 +0000

I know I keep going on about me cutting my hair but I have yet to do it. Well I was gonna go to this place that specializes in long hair and its care but since it’s around 2-3 hours drive away I’m looking at other places. And guess what, turns out that place across the street cuts hair. Anyways I wanna try and get her to cut it this Sunday or Monday, whichever she has open I guess. I think I would prefer Monday since I’m going out and about on Tuesday.

Only problem with this is that I wanted to have a picture of my hair as it is now before I cut it that way I can look back and see how I have improved, if any. But my mom has my camera still. Ah well, guess if I really want I can try and take a pic with my cell phone. Might be able to get goober to do it too…

Macchan – End long overdue ramble

Wedding thoughts

Macchan — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 08:19:50 +0000

I wonder when I’ll be married… or I guess I should say have a wedding. Guess I’ll work on planning it while I wait. I think I would like to have it in the spring… late April to be more precice since that’s when me and goober met. I want a cake from Nanak Sweet Shoppe, they are sooooo tasty. Not sure what I want it to look like though. I like the chocolate mint, hope they let you have that as a wedding cake.

As for themes and dresses go I’m not sure, I’m not even sure what sort of cerimony I want being as I’m not overly religious. I do know I want it to be fun and comfortable for every, casual I guess but where you don’t feel out of place dressed up or down. Dress wise I just know I hate trains.

Macchan – End vague planning

The voodoo brush

Macchan — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 22:59:55 +0000

I managed to find a boar bristle brush, surprisingly it was only a few dollars at Walmart. Anyways there shouldn’t be any nylon in it and it is pretty simple with a wooden handle. Its kinda weird looking actually with the roots and all… been calling it a voodoo brush.^^ Here’s a crappy picture of it.

Next time I go up to moms I think she’s gonna take me to get my hair cut at a place that specializes in long hair. They don’t like cutting hair but figured we’d run my plan by them to see if they’ll help. If nothing else they can give some hair care tips and a nice trim. Guess they have a special technique that gets rid of split ends without sacrificing a lot of length.

Macchan – End ramble hair ramble.

So lazy… someone smack me.

Macchan — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 23:46:36 +0000

Sometimes I’m not sure what I should do to occupie my free time… most the time actually. All the other times I don’t think I ever have any free time and make lists of the things I could do if I did. Whenever I do get some though there is always something keeping me from doing anything… aaah… if only I weren’t such a hopeless procrastinator.

In any case let me think here, what could I be doing right now besides typing a post that would be more productive? I could be working on my doll plans, experimenting with making hollow sculpey balls, drawing, sewing, putting a wardrobe together, cleaning dishes, cleaning room, exercising… and I think I’m out of ideas now. I’ve already done way to much eating.

Now I will think up excuses why I can’t do any of those useful things. So lame yes I know. Dishes to cold, wardrobe to heavy to move and noise will wake up baby. Sewing will wake up baby, sculpey balls is not interesting, cleaning room may wake up baby and I need to wardrobe to put things in. Exercising, ate to much and my tummy hurts and I’m rather sleepy. Drawing, not interesting right now and same with doll plans… mainly though that I can’t find my eraser. Where oh where did you go my lovely?!ToT

Macchan – End disgustingly large sum of lazy bastardry.

Color scheme… maybe.

Macchan — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 01:16:37 +0000

Alrighty, I think I got a color scheme worked out if I ever actually get a doll shop online.^^ Hehehe, yea I’ll probably just make the layout that way I can be one step closer to actually having it.

Yep, very green indeed. Not sure if I will stick with it, after all I am very fickle when it comes to color schemes. Anyways any comments or suggestiong would be wonderful, keep in mind that these colors are intended to be used for a online store.

Macchan – End color picking.
