Yesterday I was working an animation because it is due next week and I tried my hardest to do something during the day, but I only really started doing the animation part at nine at night... Ooooh... We are animating either Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck jumping from off the page to the center and back again. A lot of people in my class are doing Daffy. I am doing Bugs. I am a moron. Bugs has big floppy ears and hair on top of his head. All of which need to be animated by doing secondary action. If that wasn't bad, I instead of have hime simply jump on and jump off. I am having him jump on. Lose his balance, recover, stand around, do a double take, and then jump off again. That's like doing three animations in one. What was I thinking? Uhhhhh... when will I learn that you can't overdo something when you haven't the time to overdo it?
I wish I had spent my time a little more effectivily. Or less time with my nintendo.
Me and two other people stayed late last night. One was Dani, the other was Braven. I was having fun being a complete freak around Braven. Braven is a shy kid he doesn't really talk and keeps to himself. I enjoy making stupid faces at him until he sees them then makes a "wtf" face back at me and then me laughing... sometimes screaming, then him saying "I don't get it." and me saying "that's the point!" Ah ha ha... why am I such a loony?
It's been on my mind so I am going to talk a little bit more about my zombie game idea. Still not the game I am goign to be making with Shane... Perhaps I'll call it Dead Walk for the time being.
The way I picture the game looking isn't that of Left for Dead or any other of those types of games. I'm thinking it's more of a Kingdom Hearts cutesy sorta deal. Well not intirly cute. I would still like my zombies to sworm and can very creepy, and I really want fun character designs, but they're not gonna be super gross realistic zombies. And zombies is just going to be the first monster class of it. I would also like to introduce demons and werewolfs, vampires (the horrible suck your blood kind. These ones are completely blood thirsty, they can't even talk), and other such scray ghosty gouls. Zombies I think would be the main part, but I would want a whole bunch of classic scary monsters. I's probably like to do some scary research and design some good bosses aftter some classic horror books and films. Mind you I don't expect anybody to be actually scared of this game, it'd be nice, but I'm not trying to invoke fear. Perhaps I could also invoke some sort of inturnal strife that the main charactters go through and some over-riding themes that are ever present in classic horror. To get this game to really work I think I would need some killer style that people would just want to look at, and some kick-ass story. Well in every game I make I want there to be a kick-ass story that can't be trumped.
I should probably start an idea catolouge. Perhaps that is something I will ask for Christmas, or instead of mindless surfing the internet next time I have nothing to do for a day I will put my organization talents to use and make a nice neat file folder document completely filled up with insperation, a discription and anything else pertaining to any of my projects. Yes that sounds like a good idea.
Another project I've been working on is a character design project where I am to design myself and a friend (mine is Blake) in a style that works and draw ten poses of each of us. This makes us look at each other's shapes. Blake is really easy. He is a stick. He is very skinny and tall and lenghty. And a creep. So it all works awesomely. Me? Well we where having a very hard time with that. I'm big... but not a complete fat ball... I'm also tall but not as tall as Blake so short and stout isn't an option. and my face is kinda genaric... like I have big eyes but not noticably so. I have a big nose I suppose... but if you make it too big it looks odd. So we asked the teacher. He said I am like a big square. So i am pretty much a square body. On the sides I have my limbs and they all taper off. Like my I have small hands and small feet (which I do for someone my height.) It was awesome that I finally know how I would draw my body type. Makes me laugh.
Anyways, time for class. later.

Now I need to see a drawing of you as your new body type!!
You are much like Shane. Both of you think that making faces and loud noises makes you certifiably insane. It doesn't; it just makes you obnoxious. lol I'M JOKING!
...kind of...
