Wallpaper for the Month! (& updates on the creative me)

Hey! I CG’ed, actually followed a

CGing tut and everything, for the first time ever!

Thank you oh Power of Internets, and Kawaii Hannah (v.talented CG anime artist from Australia)! ^O^

I have tried before, but it wasn’t really trying. I was just jumping in there, seeing what I could do with what I knew (which isn’t a great deal!). Anyway, I kinda like it so far, it’s unfinished as of yet. And my trusty wallpaper of the month (until the final is finalled!)

The image is for the

PSU Thanks Festa 2008 Global, in conjuntion with that game I play,  Phantasy Star Universe.SPEAKING OF COMPETITIONS, with the Neo Competition mentioned last post, unfortunately I only had managed to finish it properly half an hour after the Post Office shut (I am annoying where I can almost never let anything go half-assed).

So I sent it by Next Day Delivery the next day (which was the day of deadline), fingers crossed, hoping a thoughtful soul would let it pass as an entry anyway.

But a week later, no word, no win.

Here’s a preview anyway:

I guess, I’ll have to send it in for next year - in colour, yes^^

Signature for the Month!

Made it for use on the PSOW forums, it’s my main char’ looking daydreamy in the game Phantasy Star Universe, which I re-activated today. Yes, the graphics card is rocking! |)
I wanted a very natural look, like something a real photographer would take. Ironic that (and I love irony), because it is in fact a […]

Preview of Submission for Neo 2008

Also, I just about scraped it. I think. My entry for the Neo Magazine Competition 2008 was posted yesterday morning!
It looked quite different in the final - Fingers crossed.

Stuffage…! (before I start animating!)

So! Now that I am ready to animate, before I start anything, I would like to plug some of my older works for those who haven’t seen them.
Some of my old Uni animations, a couple just uploaded on my YouTube:

Baseball Dance A very big, colourful, spinny ball… and won’t be a baseball at all!
Experimental 3D: […]

Dumdum de-de dum… Procrastinate… dumb…

So I purchased a better wireless adapter, by D-Link. Waiting for it in the post now.
In the meantime I have been downloading & installing various games on to my brand spanking new PC; Age of Empires Gold Edition (old skool!), Seal Online, Phantasy Star Universe: AOI (WUWTDBP*), World of Warcraft 14 Day trial (WUCDBP**), Shaiya, […]

Wallpaper for the Month!

A quick wallpaper I made, in celebration of my new PC, the upcoming SF4, but really, just Chun-li.

This is non-commercial fanware. Use don’t abuse i.e. sell to any dodge wallpaper salesmen for monies you don’t deserve. Chun-Li belongs to Capcom, don’t ya know?

BUILDING MY ANIMATOR PC! - Part 3a: Last Level

Got the VGA-DVI converter for my housemate’s old monitor (Thanks Nick A.K.A. Morster!), who also hooked me up with a free kettle lead from work - one that originally came with an Xbox 360 (thanks again, Nick! So I’ll no longer be bugging you for those disk drive cables you lost me no more! nyar […]

1st Anniversary for this Blog!!

Man, I do like to take my time, don’t I? (No, love!)

BUILDING MY ANIMATOR PC! - PART 2b: PC done! Oh wait, monitor doesn’t work. Unit done!!

My ex-housemate’s old monitor is VGA, while mine is DVI only. Dan, my mate who sold me the graphics card, didn’t include the VGA to DVI converter, oh well. More reason to hold out for a real monitor really, and remind me that I that I still have a few checks to do:

- What kind of […]

BUILDING MY ANIMATOR PC! - PART 2a: Piecing Together the Jargon Jigsaw!

So, I finally got the case a couple days a go! (and my bro’s birthday present on the same Tuesday!) All in a matter of days!
Saving and spending like this hasn’t happened for me since my Uni days, when my student grant was miraculous (and cheekily short-lived).
So, I got me the anti-static wrist and cable ties from PC World […]
