IT'S OVER!!! :D

Thu Dec 17, 2009, 10:43 AM
  • Mood: Tired
  • Listening to: Kero Hireyo Live (Varekai Cirque du Soleil)
  • Drinking: sweet iced tea of course
Classes are over!!! :boogie::boogie::boogie:
I think I did well overall, but I'm not 100% sure on that as of yet. My GPT class (game production team, the one that gave me the most grief) went really well I think. I curse my fellow classmates and teacher! And this is why:

Our class was moved to this big serious business type room (it looked like Donald Trump's office) in order to do our final presentations. I was to present after the Character Team as normal, for Animation Team always goes after Character Team. Now, I wanted to keep this presentation serious, as we had a couple of other people from the school come in to watch our presentation...but that wasn't able to happen. This is because of what happened immediately after Animation Team was introduced. Allow me to explain:

I AM THE ANIMATION TEAM. No one else. Just me. All by myself. It's an on-running joke in the class because I am the animation lead only to myself. Given I did gain control of the Character Team about 3/4 of the way into the quarter, but they were still Character Team, not Animation Team, and I did the main burden of the animation work myself (probably about 2/3 of it, leaving three character team people to do the remaining third). So people keep making jokes about how I had to fire my entire team and such (because I never had a team to begin with). Yeah, yeah...ha ha...it's funny when in class. But this was THE LAST presentation, and I didn't want to screw it up. It was hard enough because I HATE giving presentations as it is, and going up there alone, teamless, is NOT my idea fun.

So as I get up to go and give my presentation, the teacher says "And now we'll have our Animation Team present" and IMMEDIATELY almost everyone, including the teacher, began snickering because they knew that there is no Animation Team, it's just me. That KILLED the seriousness business like atmosphere I wanted to hold. So having rolled my eyes at their jests, I get up to the front and open my presentation on the computer. I then turn to the audience and say "I am the Animation Team" to which everyone in the room laughed. I then continued on with my presentation and ended it by saying "My advice for the future: have more than one animator. Please, please have more than one animator. Because I have a life too." This phrase ALSO received laughter.

Siiiiiiigh...oh well. Eventually I'll be putting a deviation in my gallery that will link to our group's final vid. I just have to wait to be given the link myself, that way you can see the awesomeness of it (as well as know what it is exactly that's been depriving me of sleep).

So in conclusion, my presentation went well dispite the fact my first approach was blown away. And always remember: have more than one animator. XP

I need a new ID!!

Wed Dec 9, 2009, 10:24 AM
  • Mood: Tired
  • Listening to: Kero Hireyo Live (Varekai Cirque du Soleil)
But I can't think of anything! Soooooo...I'm asking if ANYONE has an idea. The only spec is that I want it to contain Saraya, the OC that has taken over and is running rampant through my gallery of late. I'm sick of my old ID and I don't like how it looks anymore. I want it out of my gallery entirely, but I don't want to get rid of it until a new one arrives. So PLEASE give me an idea. In fact, give me multiple ideas, I want to be flooded with them so I can have more of a variety to choose from. The more the better, so maybe I'll actually find something I want to do. Any help is much appreciated.

Grr...I feel like dying. I'm so bloody tired from getting a total of like 5 to 7 hours of sleep over the past three days. Bloody homework!! AND I'm supposed to start work this week. I HATE myself right now, and I think my lack of rest is causing me to feel physically ill. Worst part is that there's still sooooo much work left to do before finals week next week.

Other than that, here's my current list of things to do (including the homework I have to do so I can have somewhere to keep track of everything). I'll remove things once they are completed:

:bulletblack:Class Related:

Game Production Team: (this class is the catalyst of my pain...)

So...I'm engaged now

Journal Entry: Wed Nov 25, 2009, 10:09 PM
  • Mood: Zest


Engaged to be married. Yes it's true. My boyfriend proposed to me whilst we were laying on the couch at his parents house. It was a lot less nerve wracking than I had imagined it to be. Of course, if he would have gotten down on one knee and did it that way, I probably would have reacted differently. I still would have said yes, but I would have probably been a little more freaked out.
My ring is awesome, there are 11 .1 carat diamonds (which are the really small ones) laid inside the white gold band instead of like the normal rings where you have the one diamond that sticks up off it. It's more discreet and fits me better. My mom was a jerk saying that no one would even notice since my ring doesn't look like an engagement ring and some other stuff, but she's always a jerk to me. So yeah, that's an update for my Thanksgiving break.

Still in a :iconphantom-club-101: mood, so those projects are as follows:

:bulletblue:Story - Saraya and Hydrix (brainstorming)
:bulletblue:Gender swap Saraya :star::star::star::star-half:
:bulletblue:Saraya as Replay :star::star::star-empty::star-empty:

Orientation Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuux...

Journal Entry: Tue Nov 17, 2009, 6:20 PM
  • Mood: Grumpy
  • Listening to: Sexy, Naughty, *****y (Saraya's song)
  • Eating: pizza bites
  • Drinking: Diet Dr. Thunder (I need caffine)


So I got hired at the McDonalds somewhat nearby and had to go to this orientation thing today. The instructions I was given were a little...lacking, so I left extreeeeemely early in order to make sure I found the place. Now, I was given the instructions: "Walk passed Walgreens, cross the street, go down the hill. The building will be on your right." This had me confused enough as it is being that the Walgreens was on the top of a hill that descended down BOTH sides. I ended up walking around for over an hour and a half trying to located the building which was only TWO FRICKIN BLOCKS AWAY from my starting location. I now have frickin blisters from having walked so far. Had the instructions said: walk down the hill on your right, the building is on your left, I would have been able to find it easier. Communication errors suck...

Add to that that I was nervous as all get out by being there, we had probably double the amount of normal people (or so we were told), no one told me what the heck the name of the McDonalds I was working for was actually called (made me feel quite pathetic >-< ), and some people just can't fill out paperwork well it seems, orientation didn't end until 7:30 (it started at 5:30). I then had to wait half an hour for a trolley to come, just so it could take me two stops down so that I could catch ANOTHER trolley (which took ANOTHER half an hour to get there). All the while it's dark and cold (which didn't bother me that much), but the wind was blowing something fierce (which DID bother me).

And then, finally, on my trip back home, I realize that in my hand I held a paper which I more than likely should not have. I probably was supposed to leave it with the others. I pray I didn't screw something majorly up.

Now I am going to probably end up pulling an all nighter just to get my homework for tomorrow done...as well as rest my tired, aching, hungry body.


Other than that, I'm still in a :iconphantom-club-101: mood...so be expecting stuff with Saraya for a while to come. In fact, some things are already underway (not including the chibi collage). Beware, there be many:

:bulletblue:Gender swap Saraya :star::star::star::star-half:

Mage: Premise and Main Characters

Journal Entry: Wed Sep 16, 2009, 12:27 PM


I'm finally going to get going with my graphic novel idea from long ago. I'll put the info in this journal and begin doing art so you can see it.

Premise:

Year: ????

In New York City in the bay between the mainland and the Statue of Liberty at the turning point of the year, the stroke of midnight on December 31st, a large doubled door standing three stories in height appeared, hovering above the water in the bay. No one knows where it came from, what it is or why it appeared. For a little over a month it was a top tourist attraction for the city, but as time passed and nothing about "The Door" changed, people became bored by it and ignored its presence. On the two month anniversary of the doors appearance, a boy named Ean, known for being his class' nerd and one of the most picked on boys in school, was on the run from a pack of his schools best known jocks and bullies. This kind of behavior was known to happen nearly every week. Taking a new route of escape, Ean finds himself at the bay where The Door was located. The area had since been abandoned since the day, when the tourists had stopped coming, The Door opened and stole away a young female resident. It was unknown if that incident was the only one or not. But, once out of harm's way from his pursuers, Ean makes his way toward home. But as soon as he steps out of hiding, The Door opens, pulling him inside. He awakens, finding himself in the world of Solstice: a world that was a combination of many. As Ean comes to find out, the one who ruled over Solstice was using his homeworld as a vessel and traveling the small threads that linked all worlds together in order to combine them with his own, and therefore expanding his rule. Earth was his next target. In order to stop this, the six Mages need to be found. A Mage is a mystical element that allows the world order to flow and also are the small ties that link all worlds together (and it's not the whole earth, wind, water stuff. That's been overdone).


Characters (Heroes):

Ean Overly:
Gender: Male
Nicknames: Book Boy, Wise Guy, Fearless Leader (sarcastic)
Species: Human
Type: Warrior
Age: 17
Height: 5'7"
Hair: Dark Navy Blue
Eyes: Dark Green
Personality: Quiet, noble, trustworthy
Purpose: To keep Earth from being taken over by Solstice and thus protecting his mother: Eve.
Info: Ean is best known for being one of the brightest minds of his class, but with knowledge comes ridicule. Ean is often picked on my the more popular jocks and preps of his class and has gotten into more than one scuffle because of it. Though he does not lack physical strength, Ean is usually a pacifist unless it comes to defending someone he cares about. This best shows up when speaking about his mother Eve. Ean's father was killed by a pair of thieves who came into their apartment looking for anything they could take and hock for easy money. Though the criminals were thwarted do to a cop's passing by on his daily routine, the gunshot to Ean's father's gut was fatal. Upon his dying breath, Ean swore to his father that he would follow in his footsteps and protect those he cared for with his life. This oath is what drives Ean forward in Solstice.

Celes McNeily: [link]
Gender: Female
Nicknames: Mage
Species: Human
Type: Mage lvl 3
Age: 16
Height: 5'3"
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Blue
Personality: Cheerful (always), klutzy, sincere
Purpose: To find her mother who she believes was taken through The Door.
Info: Celes is the first ally Ean makes on his journey through Solstice. As it turns out, Celes was the girl who was taken through The Door that had the news casts on Earth in a hype. Celes takes the role of making everyone happy, she hates it when her teammates are sad or depressed and does what she can to please everyone. Although a level 3 Mage, Celes doesn't know how to use her powers that well since she only obtained them once stepping through The Door. It doesn't help that she's a bit of a klutz. Her innocent mind also makes her seem a little dim in thought, but she's actually very bright.

Zeta L'Win: [link]
Gender: Female
Nicknames: None
Species: Elf - Cursed
Age: 24
Type: Animaga
Height: 5'11"
Hair: Violet Blue
Eyes: Right - Gold Left - Blue
Personality: Cold, quiet, hateful
Purpose: To separate herself from the Elves who ostracized her
Info: Zeta is a member of the Cursed Elf tribe. Cursed Elves are Elves with no magical abilities but are able to transform into some sort of creature. Because to the Elven populace becoming a lowly animal is disreputable, all those who are Cursed are driven away from the main cities and are forced to live in small villages among those who are also Cursed. Such treatment has driven Zeta to despise the Elven kind. Each Cursed bears a symbol like birthmark that marks them as Cursed, for Zeta is is just above her heart. Being Cursed, Zeta has the ability to become a wolf at will. She wants nothing more than to leave her world behind and live like a normal citizen on another world.

Jedidiah Glendale: [link]
Gender: Male
Nicknames: Jed, Cyborg, Gun-for-arm
Species: Human (Rayshin)
Type: Warrior
Age: 24
Height: 6'5"
Hair: Sandy Golden Blonde
Eyes: Brown
Personality: Friendly, romantic, gentlemanly, polite, wise but not forward
Purpose: ????
Info: Much about Jed remains a secret. What is known is that his right arm has been replaced with a cyber-kinetic type of material that has the ability to transform into a multitude of long and sort range weapons. Because Jed is so gentlemanly and polite towards his peers (especially the females) he has this royal air about him, but does not take the leadership role. He does, however, offer his advice very often to Ean when he deems it necessary. Jed also has a large crush on Zeta that he makes blatantly, and sometimes painfully, obvious.

Jade Owen: [link]
Gender: Female
Nicknames: Mom, the scary black woman
Species: Human (Amorite)
Type: Warrior
Age: 26
Height: 6'2"
Hair: Pink
Eyes: Green
Personality: Motherly, protective (sometimes overly), dependable
Purpose: To locate her daughter and husband
Info: Jade's homeworld was one of the first to be seized by Solstice, and when that took place, she was separated from her daughter and husband when the world went through the merging process. She has been unable to locate them for some time and has traveled around searching for them since that day. In her eyes, this group of stragglers she joins up with is her family and she will protect them. Some say that she views the younger members of the group as her surrogate children since her child was ripped away from her. This causes her to, on occasion, be a little too protective of them. Overall, Jade is the kind motherly figure you'd expect, but if she is angered, her fists are the last thing you'd want to see in battle.

Jezzenda Coringer: [link]
Gender: Female
Nicknames: Jezzie, Kitty Cat
Species: Shifter - Felis
Type: Animaga
Age: 18
Height: 5'6"
Hair: White
Eyes: Blue
Personality: Hyper, cheerful, a bit goofy
Purpose: To remove the blocked state her people are in
Info: Jezzie is a member of the Shifter's race, a race where people have the free ability to transform into an animal depending on which sub-race they are. The sub-races are Felis (feline), Renin (canine), Anser (birds), Cervi (deer) and Dermo (reptile). Though each race usually keeps separate, it is not uncommon to have them mix, and there by creating a new type. Most view this mixture of the bloods as a sort of contamination and harbor great prejudice against those who choose to do so, but not Jezzie. In fact, despite the threats of others, Jezzie openly admits that she has a crush on a certain Anser boy on her homeworld. But their relationship never came to be since her world was one of the first to be taken by Solstice and with this merger came a serious infliction to the Shifter race. This infliction was a stoppage in their ability to transform. Some members of the Shifter race were stuck in their animal forms, some their human forms, but others, like Jezzie, were caught in between transformation and now walk around as half animal half human. Jezzie, though used to her current form by now, still wants the ability to change freely returned to her. It's thought that the Anser boy she liked was trapped in animal form. Other than that, she is Celes's self appointed best friend.

X: [link]
Gender: Male
Nicknames: Tiger
Species: Unknown (is thought to be a Shifter)
Type: Creature
Age: ???
Height: 3'5" at the shoulder
Hair: (haven't finalized his color yet)
Eyes: White
Personality: Silent, wise, mature, and overseer
Purpose: ????
Info: Next to nothing is known about X, not even his name. Everyone just called him X for lack of anything else. The only thing you know is what you see: he's a tiger-like beast with blue fire on his tail. No one knows why he is a member of the group, but he is a powerful ally.

Crow: [link]
Gender: Male
Nicknames: None
Species: ???? (they believe him to be some type of human)
Type: Shaman - Animal Medium
Age: 18
Height: 5'9"
Hair: Black
Eyes: Gold
Personality: Silent, void of emotion
Purpose: ????
Info: Like X, almost nothing is known about Crow. When they found him he was a thief, which drove a wedge between him and Ean. He usually says nothing and his only possession other than his clothing is his crow companion named Oriun (or-ee-un), who is a ruffled bird with a scar over his left eye, rendering him blind in it, thus it's always closed. Crow doesn't agree or disagree with anything, he's just there.


These are the main characters and premise, I'll add the villains at a later date.
