I have been practicing more and more with creating 3D models for characters, and I have been improving. While I still am learning to model, rig, and properly set up full body 3D characters for use in video games and other 3D projects, I am have been in need of another source of income besides my main job. I am strongly considering opening up 3D bust commissions to get started on that, though I don't know how much it would cost. Probably between 60-100, maybe?

Would anyone be interested if I do such commissions? Please leave a comment, and if anyone can give me a good idea of how much to charge for such things, please PM me.

Thanks.

It's been a quite some time since I posted a journal here. I am turning 30 come tomorrow, and I figured I should post something as a result.

With myself reaching another milestone in my life, I reflected on everything leading up to this point. Making new friends, getting a job, struggling with financial problems, and the chaos of the real world. As I looked back, I saw all that happened. And I saw just how much I lost track of my original goals. Hesitation, forgetting skills, and trying to hang on to what I have. With this milestone, and me getting back together with my girlfriend, I figured on reclaiming what I've learned in the past and to push forward toward my original goal.

Basically, I am going to relearn how to program C++, learn how to create games in Unreal Engine 4, and learn how to properly use Blender to create detailed models.

All of these are to push toward my goal of being a game developer, of creating my own game studio and to get all of my video game ideas out there for the world to see. I still have dreams of creating amazing games that many would want to play. And with everything going on in the world, I might as well start. Its something I need to do to break free from this mundane job that I have, and get enough money to sustain myself and to build a future. It will take time, but so long as I push myself, it will be within reach.

And with that said, 30 years old. And I still got a lot of my life ahead of me. Time to make the most of it.

Okay, so I got a new job now. Meaning more money, meaning more stuff to do. I am excited, woo! Wish me luck!

Well, today is my birthday. Happy day, right? Well, I am posting this journal to request for help. Not for myself, but for a friend that needs it.

Some of you who paid attention to my posts may of seen some pictures with me and my friend  KimariKamatori. They are a good person, kind, and such. However, due to hard life, dealing with parents, as well as the hardship of college, they have been sinking into depression. I tend to roleplay with him a lot, which is the only form of fun and happiness for him in these days. But because of his experiences, he has a lack of trust in people, including me. Because of his depression, he doesn't believe there is good in this world, that the world is against him and that he should keep to himself and hide away.

I will not allow this to happen. I already seen what happens when depression gets to someone. Years ago, an old schoolmate of mine took his life because of depression, and he acted the same way. Didn't trust anyone, snapped when things didn't go the way he thought it did, isolated himself, etc. He took his life, his family grieved over him. I said to myself then that I don't want to see that happen again, to see people suffer and end their life even though their friends and family cared for them. And with that, I am asking for help. I am asking for people to talk to him, to support him and to show things aren't just black. I want him to make new friends, friends that enjoys roleplaying transformation scenarios for both themselves and others. And I will not stop until things are made right.

Please, help me help a friend in need. That's all I want for my birthday.

This pretty much sums up everything I've ever thought up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNZSXnrbs_k

Birthday, hatchday, whatever to call it for a human turned dragon. Either way, I will be another year older in 4 days on November 12th, so I am excited for that day.

Alright, so I've been okay with sending the old pic I made to people when it comes to making pics. But apparently that is not cutting it anymore. Does anyone here know anyone who can make good ref sheets? And ones that aren't expensive? Let me know if there are any.

This may sound like I've been on and off this, but technically I have. After my decision, I did some investigation into the company. I looked over the contract for the training, and there didn't seem like there was nothing in there meant to screw me over. If I fail the training because I just can't do it, they said they will negate the 30,000 dollar thing. Second, I won't get relocated unless I want to (which I don't), so there is that. I even sent it to my uncle who is a lawyer, and even he didn't find anything wrong. So ya, going to be taking the job now.

Alright, so after careful consideration I decided not to take the job. Two reasons why: If I take it and sign the contract, I could be relocated to anywhere in the United States. Taking this job means that I would be fine with being relocated to anywhere, and if I am not, well, it leads to my second reason. If my contract is terminated for any reason, I have to pay $30,000 for the training. The training is free, but most of the money that acquired after is used to pay for the training apparently. I am not going to do a job that I could be relocated to some crummy place and if I don't like it, I have to pay them back.

Well, looks like I am back to job searching. Going to do this with determination though.

Okay, so I got accepted into a training program for one full-time job in New York City. I am going to be training for a couple months, non-paying, but after that I soon will be acquiring way more money then my job at Outback. Woooo!

Update: Okay now I am a bit wary. Read reviews about the training program; not really that good. I am going to go into this with caution.

This is a heads up to anyone that usually talks to me on Skype, and other. I will be going to Florida from January 4th to 11th. During that time I won't be on that much, since I will be visiting Disney World. So, basically fun time.

23 now. Wooo!

Okay, so in 3 days on November 12th I will be turning 23. Can't wait. :D

Well it's about time I got a new job, and one with better pay. Gonna be working at Outback Steakhouse nearby, and damn I am happy. About time I get paid again, and get myself independent again.

Okay, I started playing Spyro the Dragon on Tuesday...and finished it the next day. o.o Seriously, I remember having difficulties with this game when I was a child, but I guess being a bit more skilled now made this game a cake-walk, with only a few deaths from falling off ledges due to a bad jump. I guess this is why they decided to add more to collecting then just finding them (both through the quests and the abilities).

Anyway, ever since I started, been on a Spyro spree in terms of transformation. So don't be surprised to see more Spyro tftgs or so.

Well, good news. I got a part-time job that I will be doing during a certain time in the Summer. The job in question is picking blue berries at a local garden center from 5 to 9 AM; early morning. I am a bit eager since, even though the pay is 8 dollars an hour or so, I will be able to pay for my own bills as my parents promised. This, of course, means that I will be able to get pics again since I will be paying my own bills, and that means I got more freedom in what I can get (FINALLY!). As expected the only downsides is getting up early and manual labor, but it's not that I've done such before (working in Disney World was such in a sense, but on a longer scale). So ya, I am back in action people.

From this point on, I am no longer in College, but rather I will be a working dragon soon once I get a job! I am glad I am done there!

Alright, so I got my grades. Mostly As and Bs, which puts me on the Dean's List and allows me to graduate without even having to take any more courses. Honestly, I am glad that I am graduating. Having a degree in Information Technology would really help out in the long run, even though my main focus is Game Design. But hey, I am sure things will go well.

I got one more final to do in College, and then I am done! No more stressful learning, that sort of thing. I will be done tomorrow, and hopefully I pass. Er, wish me luck guys.

Do you guys have any idea what this means? Transhumanism is something that is only seen in science fiction, a means of humanity to augment their bodies to grow stronger and such. This is only the first step. For years humanity worked on trying to get a true working prosthetic arm, and now we are at that point. I don't know what will happen years on, but this marks the first step of the transhuman age.

Well guys, I am back. Vacation was good and all, Disney World still fun, and it is STILL tiring sitting in a car waiting to be back home.

Wellll, I just finished off my final exam people, which means I will be more free for things, heh. Final exams were tough and what-not, though I managed to get through. Just hoping I did good on them.

Secondly, I managed to upgrade my computer from 6 GB to 24 GB. In other words, that means that I can play games that cost more memory without a sweat. And heck, I got Skyrim working again when last time with the 6 GB, it was down to a crawl at some points. Woooo!

Finally, I will be leaving on the 4th of January to Florida for...well, mainly the best park there is. So, all is good!

This semester of college is almost over. Four more classes to get through, and after that I will be freeeeeeeee! Also I managed to get done with my Android App Programming final, which was giving me a hard time since I struggled on the mid-term which the final project added on to. So ya, just one more week!!

Well todays the day! I am officially 22 now, another year older. Hoorah!
