10/15

5p0 woke up
6p1 Did waking up things. Went over in detail with Will going over the Migration system of AD3 over skype.  Consumed unhealthy Jack's Munchie Meal. Learned of possible new contender... He is making his first flash game, and it will be a hentai game. I won't go over the specifics because they're not my details to share. He will be on the andrograde system along with me. I see him as a potential neighbor and ally, and I have given a proposal to do a character trade where we both use each others characters in a cross promotion kind of way. Who knows, we might see a hentai bundle. And I was pleasantly surprised to see that his artistic preference of women is very similar to mine- (furryless, hardcore, 18-35 females with big hoohas). An Alliance can be formed, but I am very asocial when it comes to teaming up with people (perhaps a weakness). I won't say who he is just yet.
7p2  Drew veronica a second pair of breasts for animation. Did 5x3 pullups. Dropped ice cream bar and decided not to eat it. (it slid across the floor like a hockey puck). Had a great idea to remap Caps Lock to Enter. It will take awhile to get use to, but wow is it better... (no more left hand gliding to the right.)
Got headache yesterday, suspect cause was headphone usage. Will try to not use them tonight, but will prove difficult because of sound and resident sleeper incompatibility.

8p3 Wrote on blog. Talked to female on a dating website, was pleased to have an intellectual conversation about art with her. It's rare, and it never happens. Most women run when I say hentai, but I prefer they run, because I prefer to be upfront. Now's not the time for dating anyways. Finished penis layer, yet still unsure as to how to approach this... I prefer the flying penis, and this is one of those rare pictures where we see the whole captain, and rare that genitalia is not in direct view of the camera. I could draw another camera angle to the side, like a split screen vagina/anal to fill in the right side of the screen, or go with this awkward "see through" penis style. It doesn't help that Veronica's arm is obscuring the waist as well. Will first explore surrounding the penis with an x-ray style vagina. (something new for y'all)

9p4 Researched X-ray hentai. It only took a few minutes. And yes, it was just research. For those curious, I don't fap to my own material because I'm usually never pleased with it... until it's done. Moved Veronica slightly to make it look more like she's sitting on him rather than through him. Small alterations here and there.

10p5 Talked to Nate about animation woes and potential conflicts with the x-ray... Other than the x-ray, the picture is ready to animate. I haven't known Nathan for long... but he's like family to me. I called him "kid" like how Han Solo calls Luke "kid", I just caught myself doing that. He's helping out with animations, to lighten the load from me.

11p6 Still working. Decided to go with a window to the side for the x-ray. It's a bit tough because it's unexplored territory for me, and animating on the first go.

12p7 Finishing the x-ray. Should be done with the pre-animation part within the hour hopefully.

Preanimation finished... (shrug) This is me working full speed here. There's a ton of layers that you're not seeing in that picture. This piece took me way longer than it should have and caused me a great deal of stress so I'm glad it's behind me. So I'm disappointed in myself but I'm glad it's done.

Refreshed myself. Working on Carmen's file and inputting breasts. I'm suppose to do a hentai of her... but I can't shake the feeling that nobody will really care.

If the character looks too robotic, nobody will like her. People can like girls with dicks without being gay, they can like furry women and demonic ones. People don't want to have sex with metal though. I mean I'm not really attracted to her either. I drew her with doll like features to freak everyone out. I was thinking that, just with her eyes, she would say

"I am a sex robot. Would you like to initialize sex?.... (I have a soul...)"

Anyway, this picture freaked me out but I was really happy to put her in the game like that. I mean look at how blank it is. Imagine trying to stick your penis into her while she watches you. Judges you.

Not sure what to do, so I'll consider my options: A) I'll make her hentai scene more...human, and retcon in the middle of the story that she's able to either chemically change your view of her or digitally (the Captain does have a few cybernetic parts, but they're not very visible)  B) I'll just get the sex scene quickly done and over with, but stay true to her character. C) I could just skip her hentai entirely and focus on a different character.

Choice A is the hardest to do, but will please the most people. Choice B will please the few people that were looking forward to an authentic scene with her, and while people won't like the fact that I didn't work very hard on it, I'll be able to make up for it on other areas of the game. Choice C could be done but makes me look bad.

Carmen's new design means a lot to me. I'll be honest with the stats: People rated the old Carmen a 9 on average, but people rated the new Carmen a 5. That's horrible. When I first created her, I thought people would either love her or hate her, but it's pretty much a unanimous 5. (as opposed to Isabel who had a 7, composed of 10s and 1s, people really love or hate her.)

Carmen's design means evolution. Her old design was just drawn to grow dicks. Okay, and pay homage to Ghost in the Shell, but still. New Carmen is not sexy at all. She makes you stop for a moment and wonder where her breasts are. Maybe she'll make you laugh. Heh, and I haven't even started to explain her story yet.

Her character is an example of where I want to take the games...

Anyway, my decision after this whole rant is to put the scene off for another day. I don't consider it entirely essential to AD3, so I won't make it until I'm done with everything else.

Ranted too much, then started sketching out a new isabel H scene.

4:30a11

Finished up sketching isabel.

5a12

Getting a bit tired of working, but I am glad that Isabel came out pretty well, for a sketch at least. I usually fail at drawing pretty hard but make up for it by digital edit. 

Just cleaning line, watching Braveheart in the back. I've seen the Patriot, so I assume Braveheart is the prequel.

6a13

Still cleaning. Time to eat though.

7...8a15

Finished Braveheart. Too tired to review it. I think the main character, Wallace gave a really crappy speech that somehow rallied the army together. Mass Effect 1 had a good pre-battle speech for the Salarians. Hmm, guess I just need to watch more movies. Now I'm watching The Arrival with Charlie Sheen...

As for the new pic, it's coming along but it definitely needs work on adjusting proportions.. Good thing computers exist.

9a16- Tired...  bleghh.. more adjustments needed to be made.

"The Arrival" is so far, pretty good. The cover was really deceiving, it shows this menacing alien face, back to back against Charlie Sheen's face. But the movie starts off really simple, like Sheen's hanging out with the resident black kid or he's going through a rough patch with his hottie girlfriend. It's not until like half way in when I finally saw an alien... I haven't finished it, so it's something to look forward to when I wake up. I like it better than Braveheart, lol.

Anywho, I've been awake for 16 hours so it's time for bed. But before I go, I've sporadically been trying out this thing that I read on the internet: You list out three good things that happened to you today to make yourself happier. It sounds like a way to deceive myself into blind optimism...but at the moment, a boost to morale is probably worth the ignorance.

3. I talked to 3 people today. Okay, this sounds pitiful. Ooh, I know. I made x-ray porn. Good for me.

2. I didn't play a single minute of video games today. 

1. I wrote on the blog for the full day.
