Miskui

Hey everyone,

I forgot how crazy things get at school and now that I have two animation classes as well as writing classes - I already have too much work to even contemplate completing Miskui anytime soon. While Miskui is something I do want to work on... I'm an amateur and I want to get the best out of my college experience. Right now I have two animations to complete, a paper to write, chapters to read, and an entirely new program to learn. Maya - a 3D program similar to the Renderman Pixar uses. This is my future and I'll post what I can in the meantime.

However - there is just SO MUCH STUFF happening - I'll only be able to work on my own things in the spare time I have left when I'm not exhausted at 2 in the morning... and I want a life outside of art too so.. a few hours a day to eat and hang out sounds nice. >_>

Miskui will be updated whenever I have the chance and then will occur regularly over the summer if I don't get an internship.

The Ancient Egypt series will be updated when I get the chance. Right now I have NUT, the star goddess almost complete - you should be seeing her soon.

Other than that, I actually need to go now. lol.
I'll be catching you all later!

Hey Guys! Holy crap it's finally happening!
I"M GOING BACK TO COLLEGE!!!!!

I cannot begin to explain how excited I am. I'm practically flying all over the place!!
I go to an art school for Computer Animation where I will hopefully become an animation director one day.

Right now my dad has something going for me at AT&T, he works there and I want to try and create something for advertising. That I'm very stoked about - I won't tell you any more because most likely nothing will come of it but still... Living in the Moment.

Anyways, this year I'm going to have a lot of animations and concept art postings from class. I have Traditional Animation II, Computer Animation I, Concept Development, Business of Art, and Storytelling. So I hopefully will post a lot of what I do in class in addition to the comics. If you wanna see a couple of my animations that I did last year [I only posted two I believe] on my youtube account...

Dom Powlo, a gangster pimp owl, gets a bad phone call: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zf2ep3…

Flour sack falls out of bed and tries to get back in: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxATpK…

This was my first ever animation. Everything that moves has been drawn, then erased, and drawn over again to create motion. It was done before I had any animation training at all... but I still like it because it reminds me of everything I WANT to do, and my abilities at the moment. www.youtube.com/watch?v=trKsls… I was way ahead of myself and had no idea what I was doing. WARNING, this one has noise in it!!!

Anyhoo.... WAAAAH! I LEAVE IN AN HOUR!!!!! SO EXCITED!!!
ANYWAYS!! I'll see you all later. Miskui will still be updated, hopefully... but I will also post what I do in class because my true love is making things move.... moving things. :3

Okay, I gotta get going.
Flying off to college!

Bye!!

P.S. I got some stuff in the works. :3
I owe you all a little something for your support. BIG HUGS!
[can you tell I'm seriously excited, ]
Okay, okay now I'm going! Bye!

Yo Peeps.

I'm back from Vacation. It was fun and oh lordy did I take a lot of pictures.

TIP OF THE WEEK:
When getting ready to draw, take lots of reference pictures.
I took over 300 pictures of landscapes, textures, and buildings at Colorado and along the way.
Yeah, I do plan on using the majority of them in the future when working on Miskui...
There is so much inspiration everywhere - you just need to capture it - and work with it.

So, I have hundreds of pictures to work with now. After the comic explosion this Wednesday -
Miskui will be 1-2 comics per week since I have school starting up again. YES! <3
ANIMATION CLASSES! YEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!

More artwork coming up - I swear to God! I'm all over this now! ;D

Alright, I'm "On My Way" right now. Catch up with you guys later!

Hey Guys,

My family decided that the best thing for us was to go on a week long road trip to Colorado.
I'm kinda excited. I can't wait to take reference photos for backgrounds!
Now that I got an iPhone... there will be SO many pictures. so many.....

However, I won't be able to update Miskui this week - it hasn't gotten as much attention this past week anyways so I'm thinking that maybe it's time for a break? I won't be able to update, but it will give me some time to do a lot of the other creatures from Miskui that I've really been wanting to do.

One thing that I'd like to make clear is that Miskui needs a lot of characters - once she gets back to her new dorm she's going to have to decide how she's going to create an 'army'. So basically if you want to get involved in Miskui - I'm planning on making a game to create your own character. I have NO IDEA when that can possibly get done... but if you're interested, when you create your own character I will use him/her throughout the comic as a subcharacter.

The Hierarchy
Black/White - Royals/Foreigners
Purple - Nobility
Red - White Collar, Leaders
Orange - White Collar, Leaders
Brown - Blue or White Collar Jobs
Yellow - Farmers, Blue Collar
Blue - Blue Collar, Gypsies
Green - Gypsies

You can make as many as you want if you're interested.
It would be a HUGE HELP. D':

And then you all with me rewarded with different Miskui concepts and the next three pages... and then I go back to college...
when I do I probably will have to bring it down to 1 page a week. D': So sorry. We will see...

Alright, Gotta Ride.

No offense, but... There are some people who are getting too fake on dA. They only want posts, comments, or to see how many friends and pageviews they can get. So let's see who will actually re-post this. This is a test to see who's paying attention. This is a test to see how many people in my friends list actually pay attention to me. Copy and re-post in your own journal. Let's see who the real people are. Re-post this if you aren't a fake.
