Since I last posted, a number of exciting things have flown into me. First and foremost is the fact that I bore witness to a few insanely epic videos, most notably "Superman VS Goku." Dang, that was a great video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=oyl97TG8jbA#t=1019s The second thing is that I managed to blow through my midterm assessments, scoring grades ranging from 84% to 97%. (aren't I an Einstein) The third thing on the list is that I hurt myself trying to think of a New Year's resolution. I really am listless, which doesn't really help me AT ALL with finding a resolution. Well, at least that's one thing I won't have to worry about! :D The fourth and final thing that's popped up is a stick-figure tournament known as Rock Hard Gladiators...
This snazzy tournament was made by a Stickpage user known as Stone, where stick-figure animators from every corner of the world create their own gladiator and challenge other animators to duels. When you duel, each contestant is supposed to draw their gladiator winning the tournament. From there, people vote on which animation they like based on your animation's graphics, fighting choreography, sounds and music, storyboard, and anything else that would be noteworthy. Some of these animations are very impressive, with stick-figures having much detail and very unique and interesting powers and equipment. Others look like vomit.
I got into the whole tournament after getting to watch a few animations from a few stars like FLLFFL, (made by Terkoiz) Nhazul, (made by Nhazul) Tentionmaru, (made by Tentionmarru) Kixx, (made by Kixx6) and a few others. I was incredibly impressed, and tried animating using everything from Pivot to GIF-editing programs like Gimp. Unfortunately, drawing every frame really sucks, so when I started working with 3D animation in my school, I was psyched. You only had to draw a few keyframes and the computer does the rest. Eventually, I will even be able to aniamte at home, where I have much more than one hour a day to spare. The result? I am arguably the first 3D gladiator on Rock Hard Gladiators!
And good Lord am I getting good at it, too. I know more about bipeds than my teacher does, and already tried making one-and-a-half fighting scenes. The next one will be the demonstration of my gladiator's abilities and equipment, and I've managed to make two parts- each consisting of roughly 30 seconds- in a total time frame of 24 hours. When it is done, I will make sure to post it here for all to see! This may very well revolutionize my FA page with fresh new content...
...Anyway, while I wait for the 3D animation software to hit home, I will have to find some way to occupy my time. Normally this consists of mindless blogging, watching awesome videos, or surfing the Internet for something that catches my eye. (like TVTropes and Cracked.com) However, due to a few snowstorms among other theoretical problems, my internet has gone to crap. Every other link I click on will reset the internet connection, and if it does load, half the time the page is half-loaded. (to the point where it's just a blank white page with texts and no graphics) So, to pass the time until the cyber-shitstorm subsides, I may consider drawing random stuff and spamming my gallery with it.
