Holy crap these freaking tests, they are like believing in horoscope or witches, you need to heal your mind of this sickness and see the true reality with your own eyes, unclouded by this unholy superstition.

Grammatical notes: unconscious means blacked out, not conscious is a different thing... and smartass is basically someone who's annoying... complicated language English is. :)

Glad my comments inspired a change! Good luck! I'm not staying away from socializing on NG since that's... pretty much the form of socializing I enjoy most right now, but I'll join up on that YT challenge. It's possible! No videos for... the rest of the week!

As for that money problem, I just got a low-wage part-time job on 48 hours/month in addition to studies, and it's... not bad, but I still feel like I should be doing something else. I want to chase my visions, but what are my visions really? Am I just trying to run away from work when I consider other opportunities and things that I'd like to do... that I might subconsciously be thinking are easier to do? Am I scared of change? Ah well, some $$$ will be good to have regardless... Whatever those problems you can't name are: fight them! You can do it! Live for the moment! Tomorrow is a new day! Life is precious! Cotton candy is awesome!

lol, smartass and tons of compliments from teachers sounded like an odd combo. :) Alright, see you on the line when you're off the online offing!

Now I can go without the internet at least half the day.
I kept myself offline for 6-7 hours. I cleaned my desktop, thought of a way to keep me out of my distractions and finally got a stunning idea and I made a progress through it.
I'm preparing everything right now for the next two weeks maybe I can start my project this weekend not in a hurry but promised myself never passing the due date. It's going fine, I still feel the flow of energy, the monkey is still playing his sick games. Guess what? We got visitors today just by the moment I started working. It was my uncle and his child "Takuta" (6-7 years old) that's a nickname we gave him. He asked me to play some flash games. I managed to lock him in my sister's room xD
I haven't opened YouTube and I'm going to sleep around 10-11 PM (local time) ^v^

Cyberdevil 2014-03-13 14:58:03

A new way of posting updates. :)

Meant to say earlier btw, the @Cyberdevil in the newspost didn't work, looks like it only works in comments/responses... if you didn't know. Sounds like a good day! I've been at work myself... today, , 9 to 5 quite literally. No computer during all that time either; I'm in a great mood, earning money can be fun! Good job.

I was lazier than yesterday but I managed to do something :D
A classmate asked me to design a character for an android game he probably will do soon.
So I drew/colored this ScareCrow Sketch:
http://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/88c1dabc9db98ef8dd4794fa040fd907
The head looks horrible and I have to remake the shadings :(
Some good news :) It seems like the money problem could be solved, if I can manage myself to cooperate with this guy and make some flash/android games together, I already asked him and he replied positively but we need to talk more :)
I also googled some reference for my up-coming animation and designed (actually copied/changed the reference a little) this Shaolin Monk:
http://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/cef3ff7e106e62cba28a7f9ee0b20713
It needs more work too and I should make him a spear not a boo-staff.
Not sure if the animated version should be colored this way, it takes more time to get a fine result with this technique, I should find a better alternative...
Tomorrow I MUST resume working on Happy Collab and add the missing pieces, also maybe I should make the other two characters for my animation :)

Cyberdevil 2014-03-14 04:35:20

Oh, a long lost account! The favorites match as well, no doubt it's mine but... how do I login? :/ No idea what pass or email I used for that one! Think I might need to contact Wade. Thanks for letting me know though... and thanks.

Haha, that crow is pretty cool! Good things are working out.

I missed a day on NG, writing this post on time and getting my 10 experience points as well (TTmTT)

Next time I story-board a music video, I should never animate it the same way I did with the current one. At first I was aiming to sync the movement with the music. I did a great job on this part but it's giving me additional work since I'm going to redraw every frame.
Also, I should never use the brush tool for story-boarding anymore. Combined with computer mouse, both make the worst alternative to graphic tablets.
Instead, I started to familiarize with the pen tool. It's giving me fine results. I remember that dex00 has used the pen tool for making his famous Ninja Action.
Anyway I did a good progress on story-boarding my animation (actually the storyboard is nearly complete but it needs some more work) ^v^
Here's few 10 seconds preview for you guys:

I'll leave you @CyberDevil to guess which (anime) reference I used for this

I rearranged my desk so that now I have two screens on top:
My laptop screen and an old CRT one. Not sure but this could help me while using references :)

The weather was very bad, it was raining non-stop...
Also, thunder sounds were quite loud and they scared me a bit (vmv)
So I closed my PC and went to sleep around 9-10 PM :(

Cyberdevil 2014-03-15 06:38:35

Yeah same here, and I wish I'd thought of things like that back when I made them. I don't even remember which accounts I had, so there's no way of knowing if someone else is using them or what's happened.

Oh, multiple accounts aren't allowed?? You sure? I thought it was only prohibited to use ALTs to get around posting limits; stuff like that. Would be dramatic indeed! But that other account is even older than my current one, no idea what I would use it for but.. I want it! :D Yeah Wade still works here, he's still in charge of all account-based problems people may have, as noted on the staff page. He actually helped me get back access to my account a few months ago when my password leaked (I have no idea how that happened), after threatening to delete my account a few years ago if I kept being as active as I was he hasn't really been a favorite user but I guess he's the impulsive type.. my views are slowly changing.

Oh shit, you missed 10EXP! O_O Man that's... I don't know what to... I'm sorry for your loss man. I feel your pain.

That anime reference, hmm ninjas... first thought is Avatar, but nah... can it be? Air Master maybe? DBZ? Am I miles away?

Cyberdevil 2014-03-15 07:45:05

Yeah, I'll check the rules first just in case. :)

Sad times. :( I think I've missed just 10 so far, the funeral day... but summer's coming up and I'll probably miss a couple of months worth then... 30-50 isn't that bad in the long run!

Well I only know the anime's I watched. :P The ones I mentioned are the ones I felt had some form of resemblance, but IDK... I guess I have to guess at One Piece as well? My mind's blank man!

Oh, that hint it... just leaves me with the required OP guess. :)

Alright, reply another day away.

Cyberdevil 2014-03-15 08:07:13

I log in once a week at most... once every other week is probably the norm, and it's usually a bit more than two months so at least two month losses. :) July and August, maybe also late June and early September, depends on work/studies. I realize I probably won't be able to spend that much time in the wild all my life, but I'm going to fight for the right! It's the peak of the year! Free from the bleak and despair! Freedom creeps in the air! It's musique to my ears!

Whaaa.. that is a baffling hint! :O Watched it a few more aaaaand nope, that's all I got.

15/03/2014
I wasted the whole day but not on the internet >:(
I was experimenting with Flash trying to get few effects to work but they didn't
I did a small progress on my animation and on the Happy Collab
Today was a total failure, I hope tomorrow will be better :(

Oh-Sama 2014-03-17 12:03:12

16/03/2014
Unlike the previous day, Sunday was victorious :D
I managed to make an important (3 sec) FBF progress in my animation :)
I also did some big improvements to the Happy Collab. Hopefully it will be published soon this week. Only the credits and some final touches remain and then we get front paged :D
I'm so happy that I missed to make this post on time XD

Cyberdevil 2014-03-17 12:43:46

I'll wait. :)

Woo, front-paged; awarded... fingers crossed!

Cyberdevil 2014-03-18 04:59:42

Super-Franky is SUPER! Word.

I colored 99% of the (3 sec) sketch as you can see here
http://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/eb41c17b1a26b9219053e78cd773b7ab
I think this style is perfect for my animation but I'm not sure yet

I failed at finishing the credits of the happy Collab :(

Cyberdevil 2014-03-19 04:36:34

Nice! Really smooth animation; the coloring too.

Tomorrow's a new day! I mean, tomorrow was yesterday...

I animated a big part of the Happy Collab credits but couldn't finish it on time :(
I tried to write this post on time but the submit button got disabled after I wrote the previous one, may be there's a double post limit... I also tried to upload a quick test of the Happy Collab to the project space but it didn't work. The old file still play, I holded SHIFT while refreshing the page, cleared my cash after and also changed the browser but it didn't work...
So instead, I might create a second project just in case it wouldn't work when the final file get uploaded... I hope the other guys could add themselves on time, if not I'll wait :)

Cyberdevil 2014-03-19 08:25:15

For that double post limit, just refresh the page after each comment. I think it's there so you don't accidentally hit submit twice but it is a bit tedious...

Good with progress and yeah, that's that missing post. :) Just realized though, that tomorrow IS actually yesterday, you know, since tomorrow is always the day after the day that passed before the previous day? :L

I managed to make the Multi Screen Effect in Sony Vegas. Well, it wasn't as great as I was expecting but it works fine for the moment :)
The Happy Collab would be shortly uploaded to the portal as soon as I finish the assembly. It will be all done by tomorrow (well, I actually mean today :P)
