Tonights Stream
Posted 14 years agoThank you to all that came! The live stream chat box thing crashed for me and never recovered, which was upsetting since I was looking forward to chating a bit >..< hopefully next time it will be a little nicer to me. I hope you all enjoyed yourselves and thank you for watching c:
Life update
Posted 14 years agoI figured I should post a journal about whats going on with me recently, just to remain as active as I can and to inform any watchers that may be wondering ^^. So over the past few weeks, the biggest thing that has happened is a group of good friends and I have finally found a house that we can all live in. After months of searching and failed attempts we finally found the perfect place, which I'm more than excited for. All of us have wanted to get a house just like the one we found and build it into a sanctuary for our school mates to come too for some R&R, play games, or just hang out, and of course, we want to host a great number of parties, BBQ's, pot lucks, you name it, for everyone to enjoy. So far in the short 2 weeks that we have had it, there has been two major parties held and about 3 other smaller events, and half of us haven't even moved in yet! It'll be a dream come true when we finally all settle in, and I finally wont be living alone anymore, which I thought would be awesome, but sometimes, if not most of the time, I'd rather have someone to talk to and spend late nights playing games with, than to have my privacy. The one problem I'm going to run into, is finding a place to continue my drawing, luckily
Zee. has offered his place for me to run off to when I'm feeling the urge to draw, so hopefully my arting will be unaffected by this move.
School has been going very well, recently I was chosen to be recorded during a shoot at the school playing a prototype of a game my team and I created. This recording will be featured in the national commercial for the school all across North America, which both excites me and makes me incredibly nervous, I get stage fright easily x3.. But I was paid rather well for my 20 seconds of screen time, so I can technically claim myself as a paid actor now =p. Aside from that, there is a huge deadline for the project that my team and I have been working on. An industry professional who is very very well known (Dubbed as the Duke of Awesome by G4 TV, for those of you who may know him.) is personally coming in to meet us and spend a good hour or two helping us brainstorm ideas for our game and develop it further, or refine a concept already implemented. Obviously I'm rather nervous about this, as well as the entire team, but if we stay strong and I don't make a terrible first impression, we should be okay.
Not much else super exciting has been happening, I recently went to local furry art get together, which was a fun time for the short amount of time I could dedicate to it, most definitely something I would do again and thank you guys for inviting me if your reading this :3. I'm going to try my best to become more locally involved granted it doesn't interfere with my schooling and career. I'll also be trying my best to start live streaming again so I can talk to my many watchers who I am thankful for having, your support and comments are always appreciated ^^
That's about all I can think of off the top of my head, it feels like there is so much more happening, I just can't remember what it is xP Also excuse the grammar and spelling mistakes, it's late for me.

Guerilla Artists
Posted 14 years agoThis is a term that was just recently introduced to me and pretty much explains exactly what I am. During a conversation with some 3D artists friends of mine at school, the topic of my art (Game Art) came up, and they asked me where I trained and how my style came to be. I explained to them that I've had minimal formal training, just a few joke classes in High school and that was about it. One of them spoke up and said " Aah, so your a Guerrilla Artist then?" I gave him the classic head tip and kindly asked for an explanation.
Turns out, a Guerrilla Artists is a special breed of artist that develops their skills by observation and dissecting pieces of art. They mostly try to replicate what they see in their own form and follow almost none of the conventional rules followed by most professional artists. They often bump heads with professional artists since they tell them that the Guerrilla artist's way is the wrong way, and they are doing everything incorrectly. However Guerrilla artists generally develop an unorthodox style to their art and how they approach things. I can relate to this myself since I get a lot of unnecessary retort from a decent amount of artists within my school but many of them compliment my style at the same time, it's strange...
I'm glad I can finally give myself a title though when people ask about my experience level and how I am, without saying I'm an "Untrained artist" cause that just sounds lame and unprofessional. In the Game Industry, Guerrilla Artists are almost sought after to a degree, cause they generally bring quite the imagination to the table as well and a unique way of looking at things, so it is not a bad title at all, which is good news for me!

R.I.P. Athus
Posted 14 years agoFriends & family of Athus Nadorian aka Brian Dyer,
On Tuesday the 11th of October 2011, Athus was involved in a severe car collision that ended his time here with us. The 29 years of his life were filled with amazing stories, incredible adventures and outstanding creativity and talent. He shared his love of life, affection for others and sense of humor with many wonderful people. In memory of Athus and his special life, his closest kin have created a website for others to share their experiences with Athus as well as share photos and artwork. An email address has been established to send your wishes in to be posted on the site athus@athusnadorian.com. Thank you for your kind words, love and support through all of this. Remember to love life, hold your friends close and have a little fun - Athus wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.
Please visit the site we have established www.athusnadorian.com and use the email address athus[at]athusnadorian.com to share your wishes to allow time for his closest kin to mourn peacefully.
-Friends and Family
I feel I should say something and pay my respects. I never knew Athus as well as I would of liked to, he was a wonderful dragon and I always received the best of impressions from his friends. The comments he left on the few pictures of mine were the only contact I really had with them, but they made me smile every time, knowing that he took the time out of his busy life to comment on my art, it empowered me to draw more, and I would always check to see what pictures he had favorited and if he left a comment. I hope I wasn't out of line with writing this.

Athus Back to school
Posted 14 years agoyeeeeup, back to school with me and I'm sure this quarter is going to have more work than ever x3 .. Just as last time I didn't get as much done as I wanted too, due to being lazy and only having a week to really draw, but if I get any spare time and I'm motivated enough I'll do my best to render out something! I'll probably be quite absent from my messengers too and if I don't respond, I'm probably surrounded by people and can't, but I'll do my best to get back to you. Take care everyone. :3
Battlefeild 3 open beta!!

A game I've made..
Posted 14 years agoOkay so I'm a complete noob with After Effects and I only managed to get one video done of the games I have worth showing. This games name is Oswald, a 2D action adventure platformer, feature an abstract world themed around the stories behind the Voodoo religion. You play as Oswald, a animated Voodoo doll with the ability to swing from a needle and string and throw bolts of power at the shadows that oppose him. Oswald was created by me along, in GameMaker 8 in 2 weeks, all the art is original and a decent amount of the sound effects. In anycase here is a link to the video, enjoy!

All fixed
Posted 14 years agoAlright so I fixed everything up and my comp is almost back to normal, I'll be able to resume my normal drawing again soon and pick up where I left off :3 .. however I'm currently visiting a few friends for a couple of days and wont be able to draw around them, due to them not knowing about all of this.
Welp, just my luck..
Posted 14 years agoSo my computer decided to explode, though it was due to my own ignorance. Turns out a virus ate half of my windows files in the wink of an eye and it is unable to repair itself. This isn't to terribly bad and I don't think I've lost anything, at least I hope to god that Firon's commission wasn't eaten up. It just means I'm going to be set back a few days as I try to recover files from my hard-drive so I can wipe it and re-install everything over again. Sooo there may be no art for a few days :c
I'm free!!! 8D Kinda..
Posted 14 years agoMy goodness I swear the weeks go faster and faster each quarter, except for the very last one. It can never end fast enough and feels like it's as long as all the rest put together x3... However that might be because almost all of us (including myself) have been up 72 hours at a time, drinking coffee and working till our fingers nearly bleed from typing.
It's all over for 2 weeks now though and I have almost nothing to worry about, which is one of the most amazing things to wake up knowing. So now that I'm on break for 2 weeks and I plan to spend most of it travelling around to see friends, drawing porn, meeting family, drawing more porn, working on my game Shadows of Nimbus, and drawing porn with bellies in it.
I want to get a few sketches out of the way that I really really want to do, then I'll be working on Firon's commish and also I was wondering if it would interest anyone for me to stream myself working on my game. I'll mostly be doing art and coding so it could be boring at times, buuut if people would want to watch, I wouldn't mind :3.. also I'll be posting a You Tube link soon to showcase my two games, incase anyone wants to see what I've been up to.

Last week!
Posted 14 years agoOnly one more week of this ridiculous work load, then I can sleep! And stop drinking so much coffee. I'll be back to drawing during my break and I aim to finish up Firon's commission, Wet Dream (which is sooooo old now x3) and a few other things I've been wanting to draw.
On top of that, I'm currently making "mini" trailers for the games I've made over the past little while, only two of them are really worth showing. They showcase what my art style looks like in games, and my design methods and techniques. In-case this has sparked any intrigue I'll give a short description of the two games.
Oswald: A 2D action adventure platformer featuring Oswald, the player character that has the ability to throw a need and string to swing from ledge to ledge and hurl green bolts of energy at the opposing shadows that threaten the surreal and abstract world Oswald takes place in.
Shadows of Nimbus: A 2D tower defense that strays away from the traditional tower defense template, granting the ability for the player to hurl spells of power at the enemies, or create time warping singularities to slow them down. Nimbus features a Magi-tech Steam-punk theme and will feature over 36 different levels. It is currently being registered in a local competition for Indie games and is aimed to be completed and possibly up on Steam for 2$ in 3 months (fingers crossed).
So those are the two games I will be posting links to hopefully in the coming week or so, the only other side project I have in mind, will be more dragon and pregnant related. I've really wanted to make a 2D breeding game, but that's all I'll say for now! I must be back to work, take care everyone and thank you for reading :3

Stream Fail
Posted 14 years agoToo all that were watching my stream I thank you for watching and chatting :3... but I think pro-caster is failing today and wont re-connect itself properly x3 so that'll be it for today! Thank you all again ^^
The death of fun
Posted 14 years agoA terribly upsetting title for a journal but it's just about how I feel right about now on but what I'm going to say. I've been slaking off as much as I could for the past few weeks with my schooling to talk on my IM's, do a live stream every now and then, and work on my old pics and new ones. I fear this is over for the next month or so again and I'll be disappearing once more to lock myself away in the prison that is my school and actually put some work into my assignments before I let this laziness take a hold of me.
I hope to be around at least a little and check out the submissions of the people I'm watching, comment on them, talk when I have a few minutes to myself, and possibly post a sketch or two of a few ideas I have floating around. I will be active again sometime in September when my next break comes up and till then I hope you all enjoy yourselves ^^

Surprise B-day gift!
Posted 14 years agoSo I got a call earlier today saying that my Wednesday night is now occupied with going to a Rob Zombie and Slayer concert 8D ... I had no idea about this until that very moment but I'm suuuuuuper excited it, particularly because its a Rob Zombie show and he really knows how to put one on. I'm not really a crazy metal head, but man are those concerts always wild, so my day will consist of, get up, go to school, go to concert with my buds, go deft, go back to school with shell shock, continue to work... It's going to be awesome :D
Not sure why I had to post this but I'm to excited not too! x3
Not sure why I had to post this but I'm to excited not too! x3
And it's over
Posted 14 years agoI'd like to thank you all for the Birthday love and hugs, it made the day happier with each one ^^
Hatchday!
Posted 14 years agoits my hatchday today! :D and to start it.... I'm off to class x3, with any luck ill be around later to night to respond to hatchday love and such :3
Nearly Birthday paws
Posted 14 years agoI normally wouldn't post a journal like this, but I got yelled at the last time I didn't x3.. In anycase my hatchday is just around the corner, july 29th, yaaaaaay being older.
Back at school and stuff
Posted 14 years agoSo my next quarter has started and there has been no tapering back into my work, seems it already has started at full force. Within the first day I was back, I got a job offering and was hired as a level designer for a 2D puzzle platformer that will be coming out on i-phone, androids, and Steam. Unfortunately because of the ridiculous way our industry works I am not at liberty to say what game it is or release any other information on what I'll be doing x3 All it really means is I'll have less time to draw the sexy stuff, but! I still hope to bring as much tummies and love as I can to my gallery during this time :3
I'm free again! kinda.. mostly
Posted 14 years agoYet another quarter has passed for me and I can finally do a few things that are not based around my schooling or making games, even though I love too. Either way I plan to finish up what I started last time I had a break and start live streaming again for those who are interested. My work from school is still haunting me per-say but I should be able to manage doing at least a few sexy things before I back at school, and I'll be taking a reduced course load as well to avoid having my head explode with the mass amount of work I've been doing x3.. In any-case that's really all for now. :3
Just a Heads up
Posted 14 years agoOkay so I've been fairly inactive for the passed few weeks mainly due to my schooling and the ridiculous work load I put upon myself. In any case, it would appear my next break is in about 5 weeks and I should be back on track then, and be able to get to Nemmy's commission and possibly finish up one of my own pictures, maybe Wet Dream, ionno x3.. But I figured I'd let you guys know in case anybody was wondering. :3
Take care everyone!
Take care everyone!
School and where the hell I've been
Posted 14 years agoSo school started for me once again, which usually would affect my attendance this much, buuuuutt I've had a rather large burden put on me from the school which is, I'm the guy spear heading the next big game produced from the school x..x Which is a hell of a lot of work, but it should cool down after a few weeks and I can finish up the two commissions I have (which I also apologize for the delay) and maybe socialize once again x3... Regardless I'll live up to my word and do those two commissions but hopefully I don't disappear for good after that =x
Take care everyone!
Take care everyone!
Commissions are opening!
Posted 14 years agoHoly crap I'm actually going to do it. Okay since my Pay Pal account is still being verified and because its the first commissions I've ever done, I'm going to take it slow and just take one. I know it's a terribly small number, but oh well, if things go well I'll take more. Pretty much how I'll choose for this one, is send me a note with your idea(s), I'll pick out the ones (if there are multiple) I feel most comfortable with, and then basically roll a dice to determine which one I'll do. It seems like an unfair way of choosing to me, but its the only way I can think of with just one slot =x Hopefully this is turns out to be a good experience and I'll start to take in more at a time before I'm overwhelmed with school work once again.
I'll post a submission in my scraps by the end of tonight showing my prices and the quality of work that comes with it, also what I am willing to draw.
I'm not going to lie I'm ridiculously nervous about doing commissions, so try to bare with me if I ask a crap load of questions or just shaky about the whole thing.
Thanks for your time! and feel free to comment about anything that may concern you. =3
