10/30

1p0- Woke up, did some errands.

6p5- Worked on OlgaGunPose
7p6

Oh how I love girls with guns...

Hmm.. left thigh should be larger. Time to switch it up a bit... I'll get back to this pic later.

8p7
Working on Carmen98's animation. Clean up. Nice and relaxing.
9p8
Work on Carmen's animation continues. Ensuring line uniformity and lowering "a-ha" levels is monotonous...but progressing. I have surrounded myself with junk food, this displeases me. I'll take an hour out to get something more real, and possibly ride out this headache.

Mayhap for a future project I will command a much larger staff. It would have a spaceship designer, a weapons designer so we won't see any more ridiculous "dual cylinder" revolvers of mine, more animators to make animations more fluid... one can dream. And oh yeah, I'd stay in charge of Character Design of course, teehee. Maybe even a website designer?....naahhhh hentaicook.com's fine. I wonder if people would find a one man show more endearing though.

10p9
Grocerized house.

11p10
Dinner and a little bit of work on Carmen.

12p11
Sluggish work, but a little bit of progress. I'm unsure if going back to rotoscoping is a good idea.

10/29

1p0- Woke up really crappy. Tried to go back to bed numerous times. Played a video game for a few hours.

6p5- Writing

7p6- Writing

Not in the best mood to work on art today. I'll switch to story for the day. Worked on Veronica's story. Veronica's story is a pretty big challenge for me... She's a doctor but medical dramas tend to bore me. Nothing seems to happen in the show ER... It's the same damn formula of Young/Old person gets injury/illness... Eugh. Maybe I need to watch more of it. I played this game called Lab of the Dead, and they had some interesting ideas on how a researcher would use various stimuli on zombies to provoke a psychological reaction. It's the research notes too. If you've ever played any horror games, they usually have notes on whatever monster's doing what... Except that bores me too. Zombies are just zombies. They're freaggin cliche, there's not much to say to the player in the notes of the games like Resident Evil.

How AD3 zombies work:

Before I explain Veronica's synopsis, I'll go over the zombies in AD3. In AD3, Zombies are humans that are infected with an alien symbiote of pathogens known as the Iacchan Cells. Iacchan Cells come in three variations. The first one is the Control Iacchan, which takes control over the host's body, receives sensory input from the human, and actually relays it to another being, the Iacchan Queen. The queen is this super duper multi-tasker that basically plays an RTS game of controlling a bunch of zombies. The second one is the Attack Iacchan. Iacchan Cells are highly vulnerable to a human's natural immunity system, but the Attack Iacchans seek and destroy a human's T-Cells. It's similar to AIDS, although in this case, the T-cells can also fight back. The T-cells are at war with the Iacchan Cells, and the winner is decided mainly by the host's health before he was infected, and how large the bite mark was. A human host will first show signs of inability to control their body and a deficient immune system (meaning the host will display a variety of illnesses). So zombies are actually people that are still alive, really sick, and mind controlled. Most sick people look kinda gray right? The last Cell is the Carrier cell. Carrier cells are like the Eagles that should have flown the ring into Mordor, carrying the two Control and Attack cells to their human hosts primarily via airway, although the cells tend to deteriorate quickly in the air. When the host dies, the Carrier cells eat at the decaying body and generate a large, fist sized egg, which is essentially just a mass of Iacchan Cells. These eggs can be force fed to a victim to infect the victim quickly. 

Medical technology has advanced by 2126. Current day tech is advancing human regenerative limbs and growth of replacement organs. 3D printers are also capable of creating scarce medical equipment and medical implants, but the printer supplies have mostly already been hoarded by people who needed to print guns. Apart from that, Humans have not been able to advance medical technology by much. Sharing medical and weapons tech with other alien nations is not allowed, at least only for a primitive species like Humans, who can't get to Type 1 civilization without nuking their own planet. If the survivors in AD3 had access to a fully staffed and fully equipped medical facility, they would have little trouble dealing with infection as they could just cut off a limb if they were ever bit. On the Iacchus Space Station however, our survivors don't have unlimited supplies to do such feats, so rationing medical supplies becomes essential. Patients not at risk of infection are generally treated with standard present-day medical practices.

Err, so tell me what you think of all that. I feel like George Lucas, not the good original trilogy Lucas, but the washed up prequel Lucas. I haven't been able to really show this stuff to anyone, so it might sound too ridiculous. (shrug) I wonder if Lucas got enough input from people about Jar Jar before going through with the abomination.

There's this whole Disney war that takes place before the game, where Disney emerges from cryostasis and unleashes Mickey Mouse robots to make friends with the aliens and then tries to take over the galaxy for human supremacy, and my peers are kinda 50/50 on that one. 

Veronica's story synopsis Second Draft: 

Mission 1-V goes to the Captain about wanting to put some time into researching the aliens and possibly finding a cure. He brings her some cadavers. After some basic notes on the zombies, V expresses her need for more materials.

Mission 2- After the player finds some materials around the station, V is able to give a more full report on the Zombies.

Mission 3- Isabel complains about Johnny Redshirt (name subject to change), who is not doing very well to treatment.

TBC

Got a bit of exercise, worked on OlgaGunPose, now I'm going to call it a night.

10/28

4p0- Woke up. Had a crap day yesterday, barely got any work on Terra done.

5p1- Ate

6p2- Internetted and ate some more... beginning to have a problem with appetite again

7p3- Played an hour of games.

8p4- Reopened the Olga hentai file...been awhile since I worked on it. Gave it a background.
9p5- Working steady.
10p6- Working steady. Preparing breasts for animation.
11p7- Working well. Tested various conditions for breasts animating while clothed for 30 minutes.... Scrapped the idea in favor of simply nude breasts in order to save time. At least I learned something.

Diff subject, on my next piece, I'm going to be using a new method...I'll be rotoscoping footage of a real woman (read: tracing) , drawing the anime head onto her and then redrawing any proportions (height, breast size, weight, alien green skin, w/e).
I don't think this will impact the style of AD3 since my style aims to be more realistic than other styles of hentai that we see floating around. Worst case scenario it'll look better than what I usually do.

There are moral implications of this of course. Tracing is a subject that I've never been able to resolve for years. I don't have any models on hand, so I will rip some porn. Why? Because I have to explore new options if I want to deliver better hentai games. Perhaps it's telling that I'm only doing it in light of, well, competition... People are using 3D models that they didn't even make, and some people are outright stealing other people's artwork. I'd refuse to make any sort of profit off of other people's artwork... but for some reason tracing is OK, and I'd expect people to pay for that? Well, I'll stop talking about it and try it perhaps later today.

12a8- Working on rotoscoping.
1a9- Still rotoscoping. I've settled on a 7 frame test animation.
2a10- Finished rotoscoping... now am modifying parts to make it look more like my character...
3a11- And continuing on with modifications... this seems actually a lot faster than doing the whole flash routine, although it does lack layer swappability.
4a12- Working well. Should be able to show later.
5:30a13- Here's the test animation.

Rotoscope. Tracing.

Line's not completely done.. If I spend more time on it, I can clean up the "Aha Take on Me" effect.

Pros and cons...

+ Less potential drawing errors means less stress.

+ Takes less time. Having to go over the lines so they don't look scribbly will add to the time taken, but overall I'd say this takes half the time my other projects do...

? I'm not exactly sure if the quality is better or worse than my normal work.

-Variations are extremely limited. I could possibly switch her from vag to anal..

-Hurts the consumer. No matter how good it's going to look, there will be people who will have a problem with this, and people that don't.
-Stunts my growth as an artist. Occasional rotoscopes are probably good for me though.
-People might make fun of me.

I'd hate to be a youtube whore, but "leave me a comment" and lemme know which one you prefer.

Note that the gif, blown up to full size, looks considerably less appealing...

7a15

Image to the right had subconscious influence that somehow got to conscious thoughts. It's Resident Evil, buy it and help Capcom out.

Finished VeronicaGunPose. It came out OK... I like the face, but the legs I kinda crapped on.

8a16- Went back to Olga and worked on her a little more.

I saw this indiegogo (kickstarterish) poster for pledging. It's just a poster and she needed 4k to sell it.

For $250, you can have a skype conversation with her for 15 minutes, with heavy asterisk of no creeps. Two guys bought it. I find it ridiculous. On the other side, there was that guy who left his wallet on a trashcan lid and gave up using money. That's just as riddick.  Money has made everyone so selfish.

3 good things that happened to me today.

3. Despite all of the work I managed to get in, I didn't ever really have a tough time with anything. 

2. I think I've got two friends. That's a good number of friends. For now, anyway. (apologies to anyone that use to skype with me... I can be hard to talk to)

1. Worked non-stop.

10/26

Dropped feature: Multiplayer Deathmatch mode

Worked on Elaine today. Hopefully will get back to more regular posting soon... Still gotta work on Olga's leg there, so bear with me..

10/24

2p0 Woke
3p1 Ate
4p2 Internetted
6p4 Watched Coneheads. Couldn't work, the movie was too good... One of my new favorite movies. Apparently it's very critically panned... but I lurve it.
7p5- Worked on Olga.
2a12- Was off the internet for the day. Worked on Olga Sprite.

This sexy overgrown oompa loompa still needs work.

10/23

10/22- Took a mini sabbatical; it sucked.
10/23
1p0 Woke
2p1 Ate
3p2 Internetted
4p3 Did some research for story content
5p4 Worked on some story content involving a possible moon for Iacchus. I couldn't find any uses for a moon base other than astronomical observation (no atmospheric interference), so that's what it'll be (if I even use it). A small moon station with only one lonely engineer. We can't have too large a station because then there wouldn't even need to be a space station in the first place. Perhaps it could have been simply a temporary installment until the ISS arrived... but it's still a stretch. So it takes me that long to come up with the answer: No habitable or colonizable moons for Iacchus.
6p5- Worked on Olga for a bit. Getting by.
7p6- Ate. Worked a little more.
8p7- Napped.
9p8- Worked on Olga. Hopefully will have something to show by the end of the day.
10p9- Progressing.
11p10- yup progress. Listen, these hourly reports are becoming very important to me.
12a11- Slow and steady...
1a12- progressing...
6a17- Eugh. I'm disappointed with the amount of time it took me to this point... Just frustrated. Just for today though... tomorrow, start fresh.

3 Good things that happened to me today:

3. I was pretty hungry today, so my appetite has been restored.
2. If I'm frustrated, at least I'm still motivated.

1. The picture is coming out pretty nicely.

10/21

12:30p0 Woke up.
1p0 Did internet.
2p1 Finished eating.
3p2 Did errands, took a nap.
4p3 Woke up, should start taking naps of less duration. Slight blurry vision that persisted for a few hours.
5p4 Exercised, did some "weight training" by running to the market to pickup groceries.
6p5 Chores
7p6 Showered, Ate a snack. I feel like I'm in the Sims. Dontcha wish they made a realistic Sims game, where taking a piss took only one minute, and despite the majority of people's desires to rise among the economic ladder, that some people were just doomed to fail from the start, and some people just get everything easy? I want to play the Sims where you can start the game and then immediately die in childbirth or become a male model and do nothing.
8p7- Finally getting to work... Kick back, relax to some easy line work. I'm watching Captain America, and plan to watch Avengers later because... well I felt left out of the loop when it came out and everyone was talking about it. I guess these comic book movies are kind of a 101 basics for me to digest while I work on these lines...
9p8- Working slowly...
11p10- Working on VeronicaGunPose. Friend's over.
1a12- Worked slowly.
5a16- Took the rest of the night off.

10/20

1p0- Woke up
2p1- Did some waking up stuff
3p2- Ate some more
5p2-Had one of those bad naps where I sleep too long
6p3- Apparently had a horrible morning, but will now remedy that...

7p4- While doing #2, was reading "Human Error Processing" by Masamune Shirow. The character Azuma's sense of smell outperforms a drug dog. I think I'll steal that for Larissa, who works in a similar field as Azuma in that she's a correctional officer looking for contraband. This might lead to sexual content as well, perhaps she is used to smelling male smegma.

Spent the hour familiarizing self with tools.

8p5-
Initial impressions on tool adjustments:
I've wanted to remain open on new things, and learning new things might help. Vector does help with curved lines, but I've already been using vector to assist in curved lines in the past. The difference is that this time, by going completely vector, the vector will have better quality (looks better when animated, improved download size), but not necessarily better on time to create. Wide shapes are better created in vector, but more complex shapes like the eye are better done with a pixel type brush. Modifications to line are much easier done in pixel as well, and anyone that's seen my pencil drawings and finished drawings will notice I do a *lot* of modifications compared to most artists.

Best COA is to continue this animation in this direction until it is done to better understand results of method. 

9p6-

Discussed vector possibilities with Nathan. After much deliberation, we've decided to just leave *some* things to vector (things with high morphology). We'll test it one step at a time.

10p7-

Tested animation stuff

11p8-

Testing out shape hints and tweens. It doesn't seem to work...almost though. Man I'm getting carried away with this...

12p9-

Was successful in morphing a breast. It should have a better morphing distortion effect rather than the sliding we've had in the past, so animations should visually benefit from here.

1a10- Working well on Isabel, adding lots of goodies

Pretty gross! But pretty!

2a11-

Added all this stuff to Isabel, and now packing it up.

3a12

Hmm, this one did not change much from the drawing.

4a13-

Working on VeronicaGunPose

5a14

Still working on Veronica. I want to finish this picture quickly... but yeah I'm only half way done with her.

6a15

The rest of this assignment looks too easy, I'll save it for another time. Switching over to Olga.

The gun poses are where I can be a bit more stylistic with the poses...

6:30a15.5

Last half an hour and I'm falling over like a brick.

3 good things that happened to me today...

3. I'm more familiar with a few tools. 

2. I got a cool pose out of Veronica.

1. I worked with a very good amount of concentration. Discipline is a muscle, and this muscle is very strong.

10/19

12:30p0

Got a friendly email today:

Let me open with: Phenomenal job. Witty and fun your games are some of my favorites. Good humanity in characters. Second let me apologize for that massive forum post. It is the best tutorial I could come up with and thus is rather thorough. By thorough I mean long.
I was wondering if there was a way to get a Senza scene. Despite all my testing I failed to find anything.
Anyway I will stop taking up your time, and thank you again for producing such wonderful games, keep up the amazing work.

I browsed his walkthrough and was reminded that AD2 was a really bigass game. I guess it's like being a mother and seeing your 5 year old boy. "Wow! That came out of me? My vagina? I did that?". It's nice to start off the day with good morale.

2p1 Ate. Played Royal Offense for an hour while eating... It's this strategy unit game, and the production values are really high, except the game is just mindless bashing of throwing your units across the screen and being held down by upgrades. Upgrades should never make a game tedious... eugh. Then again, I see my friend playing Dragon's Crown, and he goes nuts for just one skill point. It's important to study how other people play, because while I honestly find a lot of mechanics in games really stupid, different strokes.

3p2 Tried to get a nap in, to no avail. At the behest of a commentator, I'll try vector today.

4p3- Drawing Olga.

5p4- Drawing. Will be done in 1-2 h..

Also, relisted a mysterious item on ebay... A spy camera disguised as an AC Adapter

http://www.ebay.com/itm/200977054909?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

(shrug) Doesn't hurt to ask.

6p5- Drawing. Ate pastrami, rice, and onions. Reminds me of this one time I bought a pastrami sandwich.

Sandwich employee- "No charge!"

Me- "TAKE THE MONEY!!"

Employee takes the money, and then I tip him... We were both having a bad day, lol

7p6- Working slowly. Scanned Olga... was going to try some vectoring out, but my friend's coming over so I'm gonna switch over to the non-hentai stuff for now.

8p7- Still tired, tried to take a nap. Nap interrupted by friend coming over.

Friend purchased subway, steak and cheese combo with brocolli and cheese soup..

9p8- Ran for 40 minutes, did other exercises.

10:20p9- Ate the subway. My condition is good, so time to continue.

11p10- Working on Beatrice.

2:30a13- Eugh, just feel so tired today. Yawning very much. I still got some work done.

Played a single game of King of Fighters 13. Won. I think my friend was going easy on me since I never play anymore... My win ratio against him averages at 1w 20l.

Finished Beatrice... finished most of lining on VeronicaGunPose... worked on Olga's sprite a little (just the head)

Tentative Battle Quotes for Beatrice:

Have at you!
Die Monster!
Return to thou whence came!
Thou shall peril!

Buster Wolf!

I’m gonna get medieval on your ass!
“FOR OUR HOMELAND!”
You don’t even know the B.A.S.I.C.S.!

You're welcome to submit a suggestion for a battle quote as anonymous, hehehe

Hopefully I get some sleep...

3 good things that happened to me today:

3. I ate a lot of food. Maybe I'll gain some muscle mass.

2. I exercised for 45 mins

1. Despite repeated frustrations of being bored and tired, I still managed to get some decent work done.

10/18

1p0- Woke up. Slept for 10h after working until 2am and then passing out due to headache.

2p1-Ate.
3p2- Working on Isabel's hentai scene...
4p3- Continuing on. Not too much progress this hour... getting distracted. Back to it.
6:30p4- Health was flagging. Attempted to improve the ergonomics of my workstation and failed due to not having appropriate tools to modify arm rest. Ate. Took an hour's rest (which is why it says p4). Showered. Took medication. Back to work.
9p7- Still working, and consistently since last update. Must remember to update more consistently, even if insignificant.

Had an exchange between a beggar asking for the game. He said he didn't have the money to purchase the game. I told him that he is free to have the game, should he help society or the environment for the same price (going by 8$ an hour= 1 hour and 15 minutes of charity work). He also would need to provide picture proof. This is something I've had in mind for awhile, and I think after AD3 comes out, I'll have the financial stability to do so. I'm not the only person on the AD3 team, but I believe I can convince the others.

I'm not 100% sure on how I'd implement such a plan, as I still prefer people to pay for the game rather than do charity work. If they had no money though, then charity work is preferred over nothing. Perhaps a delayed charity option, a few months after the game had been released.

10p8- Working on Isabel. I'm at a stage where I'm coloring and making entities independent from each other allowing them to be animated. I've decided to not put the Captain into this picture, and his presence will be my signature flying phallus. It is...admittedly difficult to convince myself to do this, but I know that adding the Captain's full body would take an extensive amount of time, time which I'd rather dedicate to other things.

This week, I've given orders to my "employees" and noticed how this game is really coming together. Everything is in place... All I need do is execute the plan. Enough pep talk, back to it.

11p9-

Disciplinary action for Isabel's misconduct

Question: Do you find a hovering hand over a woman's thigh, like in many adult flash games, to be arousing?

You know the drill, you click and hold on one spot, like the woman's arm, and then the game starts making this hand glide above her as if it's making her feel very good. Do you find this act erotic, and should it be in a game?

My answer and guess is no. Porn is our best reference on what people find erotic; without porn I would have never imagined that Princess Peach being swallowed alive by Bowser would be attractive, but some people do. A lot of random porn can tell you a lot, but there's a lot of uncertain factors as well.. Just because men want to see women swallowing semen, doesn't mean that there is enough women actually willing to perform the act, hence demand is never accurately documented. The best indicator is my survey, but even that's a closed group.

Anyway, hand rubbing on women is something you see in flash games, but not in porn (at least not in abundance). The mechanic is probably there to give the game a sense of interactivity... a very bad one in my opinion. 

12p10- Working pretty well with minimal distractions. 

1a11-

This is turning into one of my favorite arts...  Not into the whole pain thing, but I like how it came out.

2a12-

Inserting foreign objects.

3a13-

Drawing a penis into a vagina. Having difficulty surprisingly due to the layers... Might have to simplify things down a bit to get it over with. Also, finished Star Trek Enterprise. Good shit.

4a14- Slowing down on progress here. A required reboot allowed me to get some stretching in. Adding a titfuck to this one at an interesting angle. This Isabel drawing is taking longer than expected, hmm... I would have liked to finish it today, but some of it's going to slide into tomorrow..

5a15- Real tired, but I really want to get one more hour in... I just hope that there won't be a lawnmower party in a few hours... 

Why keep working when I'm tired? What's the point if I can just sleep whenever?... Well, when I've been awake this long, I tend to get pissed and want to get stuff done. When I just wake up, I usually just want to relax. It's like procrastination on a daily scale. Ok.

6a16- Sleep time.

3 good things that happened to me today

3. My nostrils are mostly clear. That neti pot and light exercising has really been working for me. 

2. No video gaming at all for the past few days. (I've been keeping it very light for the past month)

1. 16 hours in.

Allllmost done.

10/17

12:20p0-Woke up.
1p1-Ate
2p2-Didn't get much work in, had a driver problem so I switched over to 32bit for compat, seems to be working fine now.
3p3- Got a full hour of work in. Watching Platoon. It's about Vietnam War, with a lot of good actors. I'm Vietnamese, y'know. Your grandpa fought so that my dad could come over, so that he could raise me, and now I draw hentai. So if you're ever thinking, "whatever happened to those Vietnamese people we saved from communism?" Well, that's one guy you can stop wondering about.
4p4- 'Nother hour in.
5p5- Finished Platoon. Working still. At a decent rate. Wondering if Montreal Canada would be a good place to move operations since they give big tax incentives to video game developers. Talked over with Nathan about animations again. I'm being harsh on him. Eugh. Gotta finish, gotta finish.
6p6- Working. Eating very tasty melona ice cream. Watching Sarah Connor Chronicles, on the belief that it would help make better story for Carmen98.  That and I do enjoy watching TV to pass the time of coloring and lining work...

Lena Headey is very good as Sarah Connor. The original Sarah Connor was way stronger, but never seemed like a mother. Headey seems more like a mother.

My friend's over, and working on hentai 'round him is no bueno. I'm gonna switch gears over to non-hentai stuff and keep working though. He's giving me a subway sandwich...and playing on the PS3. It's sounds very strange but it's not. At least he keeps me company.

7p7- Working on Beatrice

12a12

Working. I ran 3 miles, did my pullups, drank my muscle milk. Work in the last hour has been a little sluggish, but for the most part the day has been uneventful. My friend sits here playing Dragon's Crown and we exchange banter.

10/16

4p0 Woke
5p1 Did waking up stuff
6p2 Errands. I ate. Not being very healthy at the moment. Yesterday I only had a single meal. I can barely finish this one... eugh.

Finished The Arrival. It's a pretty good movie, I'd recommend it to anyone that enjoyed "They Live", as the premise is similar. Moving into spoiler territory... I did not expect the innocent black kid to be the alien. Nice twists in the movie, plot holes are small and acceptable, and possibly director Twohy's (Riddick series) best. The Riddick series is all about Vin Diesel kicking ass, but in The Arrival, Martin Sheen's got this coke-addled paranoid look that screams "DEY R ALIENS YA GOTTA BELIE DAT!!". Fun watch.

Back to work, maybe I'll go for a run next hour.

Also was considering watching this old movie called: "Dark Planet"

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116030/

One reviewer claims it to be the worst sci fi film of all time, but Battlefield Earth would like to have a word with him. I feel like I'm suppose to watch this Dark Planet movie, but I'll just save it for a special occasion...

9p5 I couldn't eat. After a period of staring at the plastic disguised as Fresh and Easy expired pizza, I was disgusted. Not at the quarter of a slice that I ate, but at myself. Two days ago I had a burger and some fries, the day after that, I finished the fries and had two tacos. I'd had enough, or actually not enough at all. I had to declare a food emergency.

A food emergency. I can't get myself to eat. #1stWorldProblems

Ran and got some supplies from Albertsons, and then I bought some Pizza Hut. I took the rare occassion of being outside the house to try out another ridiculous thing someone made up on the internet that I somehow believe: You stare at people's eyes until right before it becomes sort of awkward and then you look away. Apparently it helps with eye contact, so I tried it. Y'know I can't really say if it works, but it did help me get into a conversation with someone.

Man walks in to Pizza Hut. I look him in the eyes, and he turns away first.
Man- Hello? Pick up for Paul?
The employees are in the back; it's a busy hour.
HC- ...Why don't you ring the help bell?
Paul- Naw, I don't like doing that.
I ring the bell three times.
HC- PICK UP FOR PAAWWL!
Paul laughs. The employee comes out. I stare down at Paul's shoes.
HC- Your shoelaces are untied.
Paul- Oh. Thanks man.
HC- No problem, Paul.
Paul turns to me and surprises me. He asks me for my name and shakes my hand. Then he says he'd "see me around", and leaves. I'll remember it as a rare occasion where I wasn't awkward, and my presence was pleasant. A good reminder of why I have to finish this game, and get a life.

Until then, your hard earned kickstarter dollars are going right down my mouth in the form of Bacon Pizza and Cinnamon Stix. Sincerely, thank you.


12a8
Half the day gone, haven't been able to work much. Mostly due to me worrying about my physical condition. I'm not really sick, I'm just making sure that I keep a standard of health. And yeah, I browsed the web for more than I'd like. The last hour from 11-12 was good progress though. I'm watching The Whistleblower with Rachel Weisz. It's about a sex trafficking bust. I feel...that there's some sort of male resentment that women should be put in their place. Like as if the title "Whistleblower" pisses guys off because it's about a girl tattletaling on the guys that want to have fun with their property.  Sob story, my father maxed out my mom's credit cards and put her into debt. He explained to me that she's his wife, so she belongs to him, and whatever she owns belongs to him as well. Well, my dad treats her a lot better than some of the fucked up countries out there.

Back to work. Just doing line work on Isabel... It's coming along.

Still doing line work. Still watching The Whistleblower. Current Xanga Mood: I feel like I want to go to whatever fuggin third world country with those bastards that're trafficking slaves and kill them. I probably wouldn't be able to kill even one though, realistically. I just gotta help in my own way. Pretty much anyone can beat Professor Xavier at soccer, but he can still kick outwit ass in his own way. I'll help out. Just gotta take care of myself first.

2a10
Watching Platoon. Working, albeit sluggishly. I'll update visually in the next hour.

3a11
Took me forty minutes just to get this background in, cause the 3d program, the huge image file, and my onscreen movie, all slow the computer down. Thinking about investing in more ram here, and I'm not happy with the time spent. On the bright side, using 3d backgrounds really beats hand drawn ones from a convenience standpoint.

Gonna get some rest. I caught myself sitting here, all slouched, muttering under my breath "hurry the fuck up" to my pc. Yep, time to take a nap.

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.

1a8

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.

3a10

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.
